Questions AW61,
Food 3 through AW78, Food 20 are not approved for inclusion in this
module. However, Census can provide to OMB additional justification
that addresses the practical utility, analysis plan, and user needs
associated with the request to collect Food Security measures on
SIPP. This justification must be submitted within 10 days of this
approval. Approval is also granted to add back to this module the
food sufficiency questions used in the 1996 SIPP panel. OMB is also
interested in possibly reinstating questions on enrichment
activities including religious activities in either Wave 9 or the
2004 panel. Census should keep OMB informed of plans to include
these kinds of questions on other demographic surveys and should
submit a plan to OMB for their inclusion in SIPP if they are
included in other surveys.
