SCSEP Justification

AGENCY: DOL-ETA

TITLE: Senior Community Service Employment Program Performance Measurement System OMB CONTROL NUMBER: 1205-0040

NON-MATERIAL CHANGE JUSTIFICATION FOR STATE PLAN TEGL:

The new State Plan TEGL will replace the TEGL currently in the ICR cleared under control number 1205-0040. The TEGL simply reminds respondents of the deadline for 2016 submissions and does not otherwise change the requirements, except to clarify that SCSEP plans may be submitted as part of combined State Plan under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). 

Section 503 of Older Americans Act-2006 provides for a single State Plan that outlines a 4-year strategy for the statewide provision of community service employment and other authorized activities for eligible individuals, which requires the Governor to solicit public involvement in the development of the Plan. Form ETA-8705 is used to determine the location of the SCSEP-eligible population and compares it with the actual location of program positions. The differences between the proportional share and the actual share form the basis for much of the State Plan activity. The purpose of the State Plan is to ensure that States address the employment situations and skills of the eligible population.
