V. Rulemaking Analyses and Notices
I. Background
The SCSEP, authorized by title V of the Older Americans Act of 1965
(OAA) and most recently reauthorized in 2020, is the only federally
sponsored employment and training program targeted specifically to low-
income, older individuals who want to enter or reenter the workforce.
The program provides subsidized work experience training for low-income
persons 55 years or older who are unemployed and have poor employment
prospects. The dual goals of the program are to promote useful
community service employment activities and to move SCSEP participants
into unsubsidized employment so that they can achieve economic self-
sufficiency.
In the Supporting Older Americans Act of 2020, Public Law 116-131
(the Act), Congress amended title V of the OAA to make certain changes
to the SCSEP that would take effect 1 year from the March 25, 2020,
enactment of the Act, i.e., March 25, 2021. First, the Act makes an
individual who ``has been incarcerated within the last 5 years or is
under supervision following release from prison or jail within the last
5 years'' eligible for priority of service over those individuals who
meet only the basic SCSEP eligibility criteria related to age, income,
and employment. Public Law 116-131, sec. 401(a)(3)(B)(iii); 42 U.S.C.
3056p(b)(2)(H). Second, the Act adds individuals who ``have been
incarcerated within the last 5 years or are under supervision following
release from prison or jail within the last 5 years,'' to the list of
categories for which the Department is required to authorize any SCSEP
grantee to provide an increased period of participation if the relevant
SCSEP grantee has made such a request. Public Law 116-131, sec.
401(a)(3)(A)(iii); 42 U.S.C. 3056p(a)(3)(B)(ii)(VI). Third, the Act
revises the definition of ``individuals with barriers to employment''
to include ``eligible individuals who have been incarcerated or are
under supervision following release from prison or jail.'' Public Law
116-131, sec. 401(a)(2); 42 U.S.C. 3056l(e)(1). Finally, the Act
requires State Plans to identify and address the relative distribution
of ``eligible individuals who have been incarcerated within the last 5
years or are under supervision following release from prison or jail
within the last 5 years.'' Public Law 116-131, sec. 401(a)(1)(C); 42
U.S.C. 3056a(a)(4)(C)(v).
In this proposed rule, the Department is proposing to incorporate
the statutory changes described above into the SCSEP program
regulations at 20 CFR part 641.
II. Consideration of Comments
The Department requests comment on all issues related to this
proposed rule. As discussed more fully below, this proposed rule is the
companion document to a direct final rule (DFR) published in the
``Rules'' section of this issue of the Federal Register. If the
Department receives no significant adverse comment on the proposal or
DFR, the Department will publish a Federal Register document confirming
the effective date of the DFR and withdrawing this companion proposed
rule. Such confirmation may include minor stylistic or technical
changes to the DFR. For the purpose of judicial review, the Department
views the date of confirmation of the effective date of the DFR as the
date of promulgation. If, however, Department receives a significant
adverse comment on the DFR or proposal, the Agency will publish a
timely withdrawal of the DFR and proceed with this proposed rule, which
addresses the same revisions to the SCSEP program.
III. Publication as a Direct Final Rule
As noted above, in addition to publishing this proposed rule, the
Department is concurrently publishing a companion DFR in the Federal
Register. In direct final rulemaking, an agency publishes a DFR in the
Federal Register, with a statement that the rule will go into effect
unless the agency receives significant adverse comment within a
specified period. The agency may publish an identical concurrent
proposed rule. If the agency receives no significant adverse comment in
response to the DFR, the rule goes into effect. The Department plans to
confirm the effective date of a DFR through a separate Federal Register
document. If the Agency receives a significant adverse comment, the
Agency will withdraw the DFR and treat such comment as a response to
the proposed rule. An Agency typically uses direct final rulemaking
when an agency anticipates that a rule will not be controversial.
The comment period for this proposed rule runs concurrently with
[[Page 8219]]
that of the DFR. The Department will treat comments received on the
proposed rule as comments also regarding the companion DFR. Similarly,
the Department will consider comments submitted to the companion DFR as
comments to the proposed rule. Therefore, if the Department receives a
significant adverse comment on either the DFR or this proposed rule, it
will withdraw the companion DFR and proceed with the proposed rule. In
the event the Department withdraws the DFR because of significant
adverse comment, the Department will consider all timely comments
received in response to the DFR when it continues with the proposed
rule. After considering all comments to the DFR and the proposed rule,
the Department will decide whether to publish a new final rule.
IV. Section-by-Section Discussion of Proposed Changes
The Department is proposing to make the following changes to
implement the provisions of the Act. First, the Department is proposing
to revise Sec. 641.140 to define formerly incarcerated individuals as
individuals who ``were incarcerated at any point within the last 5
years,'' or ``were under supervision at any point within the last 5
years, following release from prison or jail.'' The definition also
specifies that the referenced 5-year period means the 5 years preceding
the date of first determination of program eligibility, as described in
Sec. 641.505, for initial enrollment into the program. The current
regulation does not include a definition of formerly incarcerated
individuals, but the Department is proposing to define the term in this
proposed rule based upon language provided in the Act, which makes an
individual who ``has been incarcerated within the last 5 years or is
under supervision following release from prison or jail within the last
5 years'' eligible for priority enrollment. Public Law 116-131, sec.
401(a)(3)(B)(iii); 42 U.S.C. 3056p(b)(2)(H). The definition included in
this proposed rule also contains an explanation of the meaning of the
5-year period specified in the Act in order to clarify the meaning of
the phrase ``within the last 5 years.'' The Act is silent about how to
calculate the 5-year period. The Department has determined that
connecting this date to the individual's possible participation in the
SCSEP program aligns with the intent of the amendments and that using
the ``date of first determination of program eligibility'' as described
in Sec. 641.505 provides a readily available date for grantees to
reference when determining individuals' eligibility for the program.
The Department is also proposing to revise Sec. 641.140 to include
``formerly incarcerated individuals'' in the definition of ``most-in-
need.'' The existing definition of most-in-need is made up of all the
categories of individuals for whom the grantees may request be made
eligible for increased periods of participation (the list is at 42
U.S.C. 3056p(a)(3)(B)(ii)) and the categories of individuals who
receive priority enrollment (the list in 42 U.S.C. 3056p(b)(2)). Under
sec. 401(a)(3) of the Act, individuals eligible for increased periods
of participation now include individuals who ``have been incarcerated
within the last 5 years or are under supervision following release from
prison or jail within the last 5 years,'' and the priority of service
list now includes individuals who ``ha[ve] been incarcerated within the
last 5 years or [are] under supervision following release from prison
or jail within the last 5 years.'' Consistent with the Act's addition
of ``formerly incarcerated individuals'' to these two lists, the
Department is adding ``are formerly incarcerated as defined in this
section'' to the Sec. 641.140 definition of ``most-in-need.'' For
purposes of clarity, the Department also has proposed restructuring the
definition of ``most-in-need'' to present the list of most-in-need
individuals as a numbered list.
Similarly, based on amendments made in the Act, the Department is
proposing to revise Sec. 641.325(b) to comply with the Act's
requirement that the State Plan identify and address the relative
distribution of ``eligible individuals who have been incarcerated
within the last 5 years or are under supervision following release from
prison or jail within the last 5 years.'' Public Law 116-131, sec.
401(a)(1)(C); 42 U.S.C. 3056a(a)(4)(C)(v). Currently, Sec. 641.325(b)
lists information that must be included in the State Plan, including
the relative distribution of certain individuals eligible for the
program. Pursuant to the Act's requirement, see 42 U.S.C.
3056a(a)(4)(C)(v), the Department is proposing to revise Sec.
641.325(b) to add ``[e]ligible individuals who are formerly
incarcerated individuals as defined in Sec. 641.140'' to the list of
eligible individuals on whom the State Plan must provide information
regarding relative distribution.
Additionally, the Department is proposing to revise Sec. Sec.
641.420 and 641.520 to incorporate the Act's requirement that eligible
individuals who ``[have] been incarcerated within the last 5 years or
[are] under supervision following release from prison or jail within
the last 5 years'' receive priority enrollment. Public Law 116-131,
sec. 401(a)(3)(B)(iii); 42 U.S.C. 3056p(b)(2)(H). Paragraphs (a)(1)
through (8) of Sec. 641.520 list the characteristics that grantees and
sub-recipients must consider when determining whether to provide
eligible individuals with priority. Pursuant to the Act, see 42 U.S.C.
3056p(b)(2)(H), the Department is proposing to revise this list to
include new paragraph (a)(9), which provides priority to individuals
who are formerly incarcerated individuals, as defined in Sec. 641.140.
Accordingly, the Department is also proposing to make a minor technical
change to Sec. 641.420(e) to update the reference to Sec. 641.520(a)
to account for the addition of paragraph (a)(9) in Sec. 641.520.
The Department is also proposing to revise Sec. Sec. 641.570 and
641.710 to integrate the Act's requirement that the Secretary authorize
a grantee to increase the period of participation for individuals who
``have been incarcerated within the last 5 years or are under
supervision following release from prison or jail within the last 5
years.'' Public Law 116-131, sec. 401(a)(3)(A)(iii); 42 U.S.C.
3056p(a)(3)(B)(ii)(VI). Existing SCSEP regulations at Sec. 641.570(b)
list the categories of individuals for whom the Department is proposing
to provide increased periods of participation if requested by the
grantee. Pursuant to the Act, the Department is proposing to add new
paragraph (b)(6), which states that individuals who are formerly
incarcerated individuals, as defined in Sec. 641.140 are, upon a
grantee's request, eligible for an extended period of individual
participation. Additionally, existing SCSEP regulations at Sec.
641.710 define core performance measures, including ``service to the
[m]ost-in-need'' (Sec. 641.710(g)). Consistent with the proposed
change to the most-in-need definition at Sec. 641.140, discussed
above, the Department proposing adding a new paragraph at Sec.
641.710(g)(14) to include individuals who ``[a]re formerly incarcerated
individuals as defined in Sec. 641.140'' to the list of individuals
characterized as most-in-need. See Public Law 116-131, sec. 401(a)(3);
42 U.S.C. 3056p(a)(3)(B)(ii)(IV), (b)(2)(H).
Finally, sec. 401(a)(2) of the Act revises the definition of
``individuals with barriers to employment'' in the OAA to include
``eligible individuals who have been incarcerated or are under
supervision following release from prison or jail.'' Public Law 116-
131, sec. 401(a)(2); 42 U.S.C. 3056l(e)(1). This section of the OAA
requires certain
[[Page 8220]]
national SCSEP grantees to give special consideration to selecting
subgrantee organizations with demonstrated expertise in serving
individuals with barriers to employment. Paragraph (d) of Sec.
641.881(d) is the corresponding regulatory provision to implement this
section of the OAA, stating that for purposes of this section, the term
``individuals with barriers to employment'' includes ``minority
individuals, Indian individuals, individuals with greatest economic
need, and most-in-need individuals.'' The Department notes that because
the existing regulatory text in Sec. 641.881(d) references ``most-in-
need individuals,'' the regulatory text does not require change to
align with the Act. The changes explained above that propose adding
formerly incarcerated individuals to the most-in-need definition at
Sec. 641.140 and to the list of most-in-need individuals at Sec.
641.710(g) have the effect of including formerly incarcerated
individuals in the reference to most-in-need individuals in the
existing definition of barriers to employment at Sec. 641.881(d)(2).
V. Rulemaking Analyses and Notices
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis, Executive Order 13272, Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.,
requires the Department to evaluate the economic impact of this rule
with regard to small entities. The RFA defines small entities to
include small businesses, small organizations including not-for-profit
organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions. The Department
must determine whether the proposed rule imposes a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of such small entities.
There are 77 SCSEP grantees; 50 of these are States and are not
small entities as defined by the RFA. Six grantees are governmental
jurisdictions other than States (four grantees are territories, such as
Guam; one grantee is Washington, DC; and another grantee is Puerto
Rico). Governmental jurisdictions must have a population of less than
50,000 to qualify as a small entity for RFA purposes and the population
of these 6 SCSEP grantees each exceeds 50,000. The remaining 21
grantees are non-profit organizations, which includes some large,
national non-profit organizations.
The Department has determined that this proposed rule will impose a
negligible additional burden on small entities. SCSEP grantees already
review their policies on a regular basis to align with guidance and the
activities related to this proposed rule will only add one more item to
consider during these activities. SCSEP grantees also already determine
eligibility on a regular basis and the additional population category
is only an additional factor to consider. Whatever negligible costs
that the new regulation requires of SCSEP grantees is covered by SCSEP
administrative costs and programmatic activity costs funding.
The Department certifies that this proposed rule does not impose a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, Office of Management and
Budget's (OMB's) Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
determines whether a regulatory action is significant and, therefore,
subject to the requirements of the Executive order and review by OMB.
58 FR 51735 (Oct. 4, 1993).
Section 3(f) of E.O. 12866 defines a ``significant regulatory
action'' as an action that is likely to result in a rule that: (1) Has
an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more, or adversely
affects in a material way a sector of the economy, productivity,
competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State,
local or tribal governments or communities (also referred to as
economically significant); (2) creates serious inconsistency or
otherwise interferes with an action taken or planned by another agency;
(3) materially alters the budgetary impacts of entitlement grants, user
fees, or loan programs, or the rights and obligations of recipients
thereof; or (4) raises novel legal or policy issues arising out of
legal mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth
in the E.O. Id. OMB has determined that this rulemaking is not a
``significant regulatory action'' under sec. 3(f) of E.O. 12866.
E.O. 13563 directs agencies to propose or adopt a regulation only
upon a reasoned determination that its benefits justify its costs; it
is tailored to impose the least burden on society, consistent with
achieving the regulatory objectives; and in choosing among alternative
regulatory approaches, the agency has selected those approaches that
maximize net benefits. E.O. 13563 recognizes that some benefits are
difficult to quantify and provides that, where appropriate and
permitted by law, agencies may consider and discuss qualitatively
values that are difficult or impossible to quantify, including equity,
human dignity, fairness, and distributive impacts.
OMB waived review of this rulemaking because it is not a
significant regulatory action.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This proposed rule is not subject to the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA 95) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
because it does not contain a collection of information as defined in
44 U.S.C. 3502(3). The Department previously submitted to OMB revision
requests to the three information collections affected by the statute
in this proposed rule, which were subsequently approved by OMB. See
Information Collection Request (ICR) Reference Numbers 202112-1205-003
(OMB Control Number 1205-0521), 202108-1205-007 (OMB Control Number
1205-0040), and 202103-1205-001 (OMB Control Number 1205-0448).
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
For purposes of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, this
proposed rule does not include any Federal mandate that may result in
increased expenditures by State, local, and tribal governments in the
aggregate of more than $100 million, or increased expenditures by the
private sector of more than $100 million.
Executive Order 13132
The Department has reviewed this proposed rule in accordance with
E.O. 13132 regarding federalism and has determined that it does not
have ``federalism implications.'' The rule does not ``have substantial
direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the
[N]ational [G]overnment and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.'' This
proposed rule updates, defines, and implements eligibility
requirements, waiver factors, and performance measures for the SCSEP.
While States are SCSEP grantees, this proposed rule merely makes minor
changes to currently ongoing data collection processes. Requiring State
grantees to implement these changes does not constitute a ``substantial
direct effect'' on the States, nor will it alter the relationship or
responsibilities between the Federal and State governments.
Privacy Act
The Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, provides safeguards to
individuals concerning their personal information that the Government
collects. The Privacy Act requires certain actions by an agency that
collects information on individuals when that information contains
personally identifiable
[[Page 8221]]
information, such as Social Security numbers (SSNs) or names. Because
SCSEP participant records are maintained by SSN, the Privacy Act
applies here.
A key concern is for the protection of participant SSNs. Grantees
must collect the SSN in order to pay participants properly for their
community service work in host agencies. When grantees send participant
files to the Department for aggregation, the transmittal is protected
by secure encryption. When participant files are retrieved within the
internet-based SCSEP data management system, only the last four digits
of the SSN are displayed. Any information that is shared or made public
is aggregated by grantee and does not reveal personal information on
specific individuals.
The Department works diligently to ensure the highest level of
security whenever personally identifiable information is stored or
transmitted. All contractors that have access to individually
identifying information are required to provide assurances that they
will respect and protect the confidentiality of the data. The
Department's Office the Chief Information Officer has been an active
participant in the development and approval of data security measures.
In addition to the above, the Department provides a Privacy Act
Statement to grantees for distribution to all participants. The
Department advised grantees of the requirement in Training and
Employment Guidance Letter No. 39-11 (June 28, 2012). Participants
receive this information when they meet with a caseworker or intake
counselor. When the Department monitors the programs, implementation of
this term is included in the reviews.
