OMB Non-Substantive Change Request
Department: Commerce
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau
Title: Census Household Panel (CHP)
OMB Control Number: 0607-1025
The U.S. Census Bureau requests a non-substantive change to the currently approved CHP Information Collection Request. The Census Bureau received clearance on June 29, 2023. We request approval for this change in time for the replenishment operation, which begins March 5, 2024 and ends April 9, 2024.
Background and Justification
The Census Household Panel is a probability-based nationwide survey panel 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 for 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). The purpose of the replenishment operation is to supplement the panel to reach the goal of recruiting at least 15,000 panel members.
During the initial recruitment, we identified some item revisions to improve the recruitment process.
