Senior Community Service Employment Program Conforming Changes to
the Supporting Older Americans Act of 2020--Updated Guidance on
Priority of Service, Durational Limits, and State Plan Submissions
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor Department.
[[Page 26989]]
ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On February 14, 2022, the Department of Labor (Department)
concurrently published both a direct final rule (DFR) and proposed rule
putting forth guidance on priority service, durational limits, and
State Plan submissions regarding a State's Senior Community Service
Employment Program, or SCSEP. Because the Department did not receive
any significant adverse comments within the scope of the rulemaking,
the Department is implementing the DFR as published.
DATES: As of May 6, 2022, the Department is confirming the effective
date of the rule published February 14, 2022 at 87 FR 8186 as April 15,
2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven Rietzke, Chief, Division of
National Programs, Tools and Technical Assistance, Office of Workforce
Investment, at 202-693-3980 (this is not a toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DFR published at 87 FR 8186 on February
14, 2022, became effective on April 15, 2022. In the DFR, the
Department stated that the DFR would become effective April 15, 2022
without further action, unless significant adverse comments were
submitted by March 16, 2022 (the end of the public comment period), and
the Department would publish a timely withdrawal of the proposed rule.
In the same issue of the Federal Register in which this notice is
published, the Department is publishing a withdrawal of the proposed
rule, which was also published on February 14, 2022.
The Department received seven comments on this rulemaking. Several
of these comments were supportive of the provisions this rulemaking
proposed to implement. While other comments could be characterized as
negative or adverse, none of those comments were significant or within
the scope of this rulemaking. One commenter was opposed to the time
limit; however, that time limit is set forth in the Supporting Older
Americans Act of 2020, and is, therefore, a statutory requirement
beyond the purview of the rulemaking. The remaining comments were
outside the scope of the rulemaking. The comments are publicly
available as part of the rulemaking docket at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov/docket/ETA-2022-0002/comments">https://www.regulations.gov/docket/ETA-2022-0002/comments</a>.
The Department has determined that none of the adverse comments are
significant and within the scope of the rulemaking. Therefore, the DFR
published at 87 FR 8186 on February 14, 2022, became effective on April
15, 2022.
Angela Hanks,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training, Labor.
