SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
has approved under the PRA information collection requirements 
contained in recently revised final regulations under the Older 
Americans Act (OAA) published by the Department of Labor in the Federal 
Register on January 31, 2012. See 77 FR 4654. The purpose of the Final 
Rule was to implement an additional indicator for volunteer work in the 
SCSEP. Specifically, this rule amended existing regulations regarding 
Performance Accountability for title V of the OAA and corresponding 
definitions. These regulations also provided administrative and 
programmatic guidance and requirements for the implementation of the 
SCSEP.
    The preamble to the new regulations stated an effective date of 
March 1, 2012; however, OMB had not yet provided a PRA-required 
approval for the revised information collection requirements contained 
in the revised SCSEP rules at the time of their publication. 44 U.S.C. 
3507(a)(2). An agency may not conduct an information collection unless 
it has a currently valid OMB approval; therefore, in accordance with 
the PRA, the effective date of the information collection requirements 
in the revised regulations was delayed until OMB approved them under 
the PRA. 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(1)(B)(iii)(V). On March 27, 2012, OMB 
approved the Department's information collection request under Control 
Number 1215-0040, thus giving effect to the requirements, as announced 
and published in the Federal Register on January 31, 2012, under the 
PRA. The current expiration date for OMB authorization for this 
information collection is March 31, 2015.

    Dated: Signed in Washington, DC on this 18th day, April 2012.
Jane Oates,
Assistant Secretary, Employment and Training Administration.
