SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public and Federal agencies an
opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of
information before submitting them to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for final approval. This program helps to ensure requested
data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection requirements can be properly
assessed.
The purposes of this Information Collection Request are to fulfill
the Older Americans Act (Reauthorized by the Supporting Older Americans
Act of 2020, Public Law 116-131 (March 25, 2020)), revise SCSEP's
Customer Satisfaction Survey collection instruments, ETA 9124A--
Participant Survey, ETA 9124B--Host Agency Survey, and ETA 9124C--
Employer Survey), and revise the method of administration for the
Employer Survey. These changes are required to make the surveys more
efficient and less burdensome for respondents, as well as to make them
more relevant to the current SCSEP environment and standard business
practices (sections 513(b)(1)(E); 42 U.S.C. 3056k(b)(1)(E) and 20 CFR
641.700 and 710).
The SCSEP, authorized by title V of the Older Americans Act (OAA),
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 SCSEP performance measures, as
specified in the SCSEP 2018 Final Rule and section 513 of the OAA (42
U.S.C. 3056k, as amended by Pub. L. 114-144) are as follows:
(a) Hours (in the aggregate) of community service employment.
(b) The percentage of project participants who are in unsubsidized
employment during the second quarter after exit from the project.
(c) The percentage of project participants who are in unsubsidized
employment during the fourth quarter after exit from the project.
(d) The median earnings of project participants who are in
unsubsidized employment during the second quarter after exit from the
project.
(e) Indicators of effectiveness in serving employers, host
agencies, and project participants; and
(f) The number of eligible individuals served, including the number
of participating individuals described in subsection (a)(3)(B)(ii) or
(b)(2) of section 518.
This information collection measures effectiveness in serving
employers, host agencies, and project participants, and is subject to
the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a
collection of information, and the public is generally not required to
respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by OMB
under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In
addition, notwithstanding
[[Page 51859]]
any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to provide comments to the
contact shown in the ADDRESSES section. Comments must be written to
receive consideration, and they will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB control number
1205-0040.
Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this
ICR and posted on the internet, without redaction. DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally identifiable information,
confidential business data, or other sensitive statements/information
in any comments.
DOL is particularly interested in comments that:
<bullet> Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
<bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used.
<bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
<bullet> Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses).
