In this document, the Department of Labor (DOL) requests clearance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) for a new collection associated with the Older Workers Implementation and Descriptive Study. The Chief Evaluation Office of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) commissioned the Older Workers Implementation and Descriptive Study to examine the implementation of the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) and other DOL workforce programs serving older workers to inform the continuous improvement of SCSEP and develop options for potential future research studies that would address gaps in the evidence base related to employment services for older workers.
We discuss here nine different instruments that are part of this study:
SCSEP subgrantee staff interview protocol
SCSEP grantee staff interview protocol
SCSEP host agency interview protocol
SCSEP employer partner interview protocol
SCSEP American Job Center partner interview protocol
SCSEP community organization partner interview protocol
SCSEP participant focus group protocol
SCSEP participant interview guide
In this section, we describe the respondent universe and sampling for each instrument in turn. Below Table B.1 presents the number of entities in the population, number of respondents in the population (estimated as noted), the maximum number of respondents in the sample, the expected response rate, and the final number for each respondent type by instrument.

a This number is derived from the number of reporting units in DOL’s management information system for national grantees. These could either be subgrantees of or local sites affiliated with the national grantees. Because grantees are required to participate in evaluation activities as a condition of the SCSEP grant, we allow for maximum response here.
b This number is derived from the number of staff (5) at each subgrantee to be interviewed multiplied by the number of subgrantee/local sites (318). Because grantees , we allow for maximum response here.are required to participate in evaluation activities as a condition of the SCSEP grant We expect minimal number of staff (5%) who may not be available for interviews due to leave during the data collection period.
c This is the number of national SCSEP grantees (19) multiplied by expected number of respondents per site (2). Because grantees , we allow for maximum response here.are required to participate in evaluation activities as a condition of the SCSEP grant
d This number is derived from the sample for a survey of host agencies in 2018 (13,662) multiplied by the expected number of respondents per site (2). For more information on the host agency survey, see https://olderworkers.workforcegps.org/resources/2021/05/27/15/51/The-Nationwide-Participant-Host-Agency-Survey-Reports-for-PY-2019. The estimated response rate is based on partner participation in interviews for a similar study.

e This number is derived from the potential number of employer partners per site (3) multiplied by the number of subgrantees/local sites (318). We estimate the number of employer partners per site based on previous studies. The estimated response rate is based on employer interview recruitment for a similar study.
