DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Census Bureau


Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment 
Request; Military Panel

    The Department of Commerce will submit the following information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the 
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and 
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of 
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the 
Federal Register on February 6, 2023, during a 60-day comment period. 
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
    Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Commerce.
    Title: Military Panel.
    OMB Control Number: 0607-XXXX.
    Form Number(s): Not yet determined.
    Type of Request: Regular submission, new information collection 
request.
    Number of Respondents: 15,625 initial screened sample/2,000 panel 
members.
    Average Hours per Response: 2 hours per year (10 minutes for 
screening; 20 minutes for bi-monthly collection).
    Burden Hours: 6,604.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Military Panel is a national survey 
panel by the U.S. Census Bureau (Census) and the U.S. Department of 
Defense (DOD) consisting of active-duty service members and spouses of 
active-duty service members that have agreed to be contacted and 
invited to participate. The ultimate goal for the Military Panel 
project is to recruit at least 2,000 panel members (1,000 service 
members and 1,000 spouses) including panelists recruited in the pilot 
and randomly selected directly from military administrative data.
    Potential panelists will be mailed invitations and asked to 
participate in an online or inbound telephone screener. If the 
respondent qualifies, they will be invited to join the panel by 
completing the baseline questionnaire in the same mode (online or 
inbound telephone). Households who do not respond to the mailed 
invitation will be in sample for telephone nonresponse follow up. In 
these cases, an interviewer

[[Page 42686]]

would administer the screener and the baseline questionnaire. Once they 
join the panel, panelists will be eligible for online topical surveys 
every other month for up to 3 years.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Bi-monthly.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: The Census Bureau, on behalf of the Department of 
Defense, is conducting this study under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 
1782. The Census Bureau's authority to conduct surveys for other 
agencies is 13 U.S.C. 8(b).
