Title: Wave 4 Topical Modules for the 1996 Panel Survey of Income and Program Participation
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 12/27/1996
	Date Received in OIRA: 10/31/1996
Terms of Clearance: This collection is approved on condition that the Census Bureau investigate and report to OMB as soon as possible (but within 60 days) on any possible quality problems with the interview process in the regions (particularly in New York, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles regions). Certain Wave 1 test results that have come to our attention show indications that the interview process may be "out of control" (in the QC sense) in some regions. Some of these results are consistent with large upward excursions of the Type A non-response rate (e.g., high outliers) which may or may not show up in normal performance measures. The report should indicate plans for addressing any specific problems identified.
