Abstract: The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), is a community service and work-based training program for older workers. The program provides subsidized, work-experience training for low-income persons 55 or older who are unemployed and have poor employment prospects. SCSEP national grants are awarded through a competitive process; state and territorial grants are awarded through a formula outlined in the OAA-2016 Section 506 (b-c). 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. The Department is required to collect the information in order to comply with the OAA statutory and regulatory requirements. The information is also necessary for grantee performance accountability and program management.

Short Statement: As referenced in this information collection, ETA added the Annual Grant Planning and Allotment Requirements guidance TEGL, ETA 9181 (Discretionary Transfer Instructions for SCSEP), ETA 9182A (SCSEP Release and Authorization Photography), and ETA 9182B (SCSEP Consent for Use and Publication of Information) to this control number as a result of SCSEP’s financial, programmatic and reporting accountability. The following are the added burden under control number 1205-0040 (See Table 2 for more detail): • Planning Instructions and Allotments for SCSEP – number of respondents (76) multiplied by 1 (annually) multiplied by 16 hours equals 1216 annual burden hours; • SCSEP Negotiation Calendar Template (ETA Form 9180A) – number of respondents (15) multiplied by 1 (annually) multiplied by 5 minutes (.08) equals 1.20 annual burden hours; • SCSEP Grantee Sub-State Data Template (ETA-9180B) – number of respondents (15) multiplied by 1 (annually) multiplied by 3 hours equals 45 annual burden hours; • SCSEP Transfer Instructions (ETA-9181) – Total estimated annual responses (150) per number of respondents multiplied by 1 hour equals 150 annual burden hours; • SCSEP Release and Authorization to Photograph (ETA-9182A) – Total estimated annual responses (20) per number of respondents multiplied by 10 minutes (.17) equals 3.4 annual burden hours; and • SCSEP Consent for Use & Publication of Info (ETA-9181B) – Total estimated annual responses (20) per number of respondents multiplied by 10 minutes (.17) equals 3.4 annual burden hours. The federal cost burden increased in part due: • federal wage updates; program information collection for the Planning Instructions and Allotments for SCSEP; and program information collection for the ETA 9181 (Discretionary Transfer Instructions for SCSEP), ETA 9182A (SCSEP Release and Authorization Photography), and ETA 9182B (SCSEP Consent for Use and Publication of Information).
