A fraction of the households in poverty during the 92- 93 SIPP panels will receive incentives, the remainder will be in a control group that does not receive incentives. Census must design a matched (but random) way to allocate PSUs or regions to the two treatment groups so that, based on '92-'93 data, the two groups have approximately equal response rates in the poverty stratum and approximately equal numbers of households in poverty; 2) Respondents must be told that the incentives are tokens or gifts in a manner that does not imply any subsequent payment or gift; and 3) Census will coordinate the design of the sample strategy for the test (prior to data collection) and the results of the test (after data collection) with OMB. Changes submitted during the review (including the memo of Jan. 27, 1997 covering questions for the 1992 SIPP panel only) are hereby approved and will be added to the docket.
