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 Topical 4 Operation
On August 31, 2023, 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 Census Household Panel
recruitment and first topical operation (OMB No. 0607-1027, Exp. 8/31/
26). On July 15, 2024, the Department of Commerce received subsequent
clearance from the OMB to conduct the second and third topical
operations. The Military Panel is designed to ensure availability of
frequent data collection for nationwide estimates on a variety of
topics for active-duty service members and spouses of active-duty
service members.
Content for Topical 4 will consist of topics including food
security readiness, voting, and harassment and discrimination. Topical
4 data will be collected in January 2025. The Department of Commerce
will submit the following information collection request to the 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 July 3, 2023, during a 30-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: 0607-1027.
Form Number(s): Not yet determined.
Type of Request: Request for a Revision of a Currently Approved
Collection.
Number of Respondents: 1,141 panel members.
Average Hours per Response: 2 hours per year (20 minutes for bi-
monthly collection).
Burden Hours: 1,596.
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) randomly selected directly from military
administrative data.
Invitations to complete the bi-monthly surveys will be sent via
email and SMS messages and 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.
Frequency: Bi-monthly.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
