Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Census Household Panel Topical 13 and Topical 14 Operations
On July 12, 2024, the Department of Commerce received clearance
from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 to conduct the tenth, eleventh, and
twelfth Census Household Panel topical operations (OMB No. 0607-1025,
Exp. 6/30/26). The Census Household Panel is designed to ensure
availability of frequent data collection for nationwide estimates on a
variety of topics for a variety of subgroups of the population.
[[Page 83456]]
This notice serves to inform of the Department's intent to request
clearance from OMB to conduct topical operations 13 and 14.
The Topical 13 (November) will include experiments on using
auxiliary data, ``don't know'' responses, and dependent data. For the
December topical questionnaire (Topical 14) we will collect data using
Household Pulse Survey content. For both months, we will conduct a
digital incentives test. 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: Census Household Panel Topical 13 and Topical 14 Operations.
OMB Control Number: 0607-1025.
Form Number(s): Not yet determined.
Type of Request: Request for a Revision of a Currently Approved
Collection.
Number of Respondents: 10,354 panel members.
Average Hours per Response: 4 hours per year (20 minutes for
monthly collection).
Burden Hours: 41,375.
Needs and Uses: The Census Household Panel is a probability-based
nationwide nationally-representative survey panel designed to test the
methods to collect data on a variety of topics of interest, and for
conducting experimentation on alternative question wording and
methodological approaches. The goal of the Census Household Panel is to
ensure availability of frequent data collection for nationwide
estimates on a variety of topics and a variety of subgroups of the
population, meeting standards for transparent quality reporting of the
Federal Statistical Agencies and the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
Panelists and households selected for the Panel were recruited from
the Census Bureau's gold standard Master Address File. This ensures the
Panel is rooted in this rigorously developed and maintained frame and
available for linkage to administrative records securely maintained and
curated by the Census Bureau. Invitations to complete the monthly
surveys will be sent via email and SMS messages. Questionnaires will be
mainly internet self-response. The Panel will maintain
representativeness by allowing respondents who do not use the internet
to respond via computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI). All
panelists will receive an incentive for each complete questionnaire.
Periodic replenishment samples will maintain representativeness and
panelists will be replaced after a period of three years.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
