In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act the questionnaires for the survey
of Income and Program Participation, 1986 panel wave 8, 1987 panel
wave 5, and 1988 panel wave 2 are approved provided the respondents
are informed whether the disclosure of the social security number
is mandatory or voluntary, by what statutory or other authority
such number is solicited, and what users will be made of the social
security number, as required by Section 7 of the Privacy Act.
Further the SIPP interviewer manual will be revised so that
interviewers will be able to answer respondent's questions about
what specific administrative records may be matched to SIPP data.
Copies of the revised letters to the respondents and sections of
the manual are to be provided to OMB.
