SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. For additional substantive information about 
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on 
August 4, 2023 (88 FR 51858).
    Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information 
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the 
Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden and 
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    This information collection 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 the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid 
OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding 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 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than 
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
    Agency: DOL-ETA.

(SCSEP).
    OMB Control Number: 1205-0040.
