[Docket No. ETA-2022-0002]
RIN 1205-AC04
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.
ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 that were within the scope of the
rulemaking, the Department is withdrawing the proposed rule and is
implementing the DFR.
DATES: As of May 6, 2022, the proposed rule published at 87 FR 8218 on
February 14, 2022, is withdrawn.
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: In the proposed rule, the Department stated
that, if no significant adverse comments were received by March 16,
2022 (the end of the public comment period), the Department would
publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the
public that the proposed rule was being withdrawn and the DFR would
become effective. As the Department received no significant adverse
comments within the scope of the rulemaking prior to the close of the
comment period, the Department is withdrawing the proposed rule and
implementing the DFR, which took effect April 15, 2022, a notice of
which has been published in the Federal Register concurrent with this
withdrawal.
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 negative or adverse
comments are significant and within the scope of the rulemaking.
Therefore, the proposed rule published at 87 FR 8186 on February 14,
2022, is withdrawn.
Angela Hanks,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training, Labor.
