Burden Hours: 36,400.
Number of Respondents: 78,000.
Average Hours per Response: 28
minutes.
Needs and Uses: The purpose of this
request for review is to obtain clearance
for the Annual Social and Economic
Supplement (ASEC), which we will
conduct in conjunction with the
February, March, and April Current
Population Survey (CPS). Congressional
passage of the State Children’s Health
Insurance Program, or Title XXI, led to
a mandate from Congress in 1999 that
the sample size for the CPS, and
specifically the Annual Social and
Economic Supplement (ASEC), be
increased to a level whereby more
reliable estimates can be derived for the
number of individuals participating in
this program at the state level. By
administering the ASEC in February,
March, and April, we have been able to
achieve this goal.
The U.S. Census Bureau has
conducted this supplement annually for
over 60 years. The Census Bureau and
the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
sponsor this supplement.
The proposed supplement, as it will
appear in the CPS instrument, contains
the same items that were in the 2012
ASEC instrument, with the exception
that questions on current public
assistance (Q96—Q97) are no longer
included.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13, United
States Code, Section 182, and Title 29,
United States Code, Sections 1–9.

Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to Brian Harris-Kojetin, OMB
Desk Officer either by fax (202–395–

The Department of Commerce will

Title: 2013 Current Population Survey
Annual Social & Economic
Supplement.Content Test.
OMB Control Number: None
Form Number(s): The automated
survey instrument has no form number.
Type of Request: New collection.
Burden Hours: 10,000.
Number of Respondents: 15,000.
Average Hours Per Response: 40
minutes.
Needs and Uses: The Current
Population Survey (CPS) Annual Social
and Economic Supplement (ASEC) is
used to produce official estimates of
income and poverty, and it serves as the
most widely-cited source of estimates
on health insurance and the uninsured.
These statistics have far-ranging
implications for policy and funding
decisions. Alternative sets of questions
on income and health insurance have
been developed and are now slated for
a large-scale field test to evaluate the
questions and the estimates they
generate.
With regard to income, the CPS ASEC
was converted to computer assisted
interviewing (CAI) in 1994. This
conversion, however, essentially took
the questions and skips patterns of the
paper questionnaire, and put them on a
computer screen. Automated data
collection methods allow for
complicated skips, respondent-specific
question wording, and carry-over of data
from one interview to the next. The
computerized questionnaire also
permits the inclusion of several built-in
editing features, including automatic
checks for internal consistency and
unlikely responses, and verification of
answers. With these built-in editing
features, errors can be caught and
corrected during the interview itself. It
has been more than 30 years since the
last major redesign of the income
questions of this questionnaire (1980),
and the need to modernize this survey
to take advantage of CAI technologies
has become more and more apparent.
Regarding health insurance, the CPS
ASEC health insurance questions have
measurement error due to both the
reference period and timing of data
collection. Qualitative research has
