SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the Senior Community 

Service Employment Program (SCSEP) 

Performance Measurement System— 

Reporting Forms ETA–9120, Participant 

Data; ETA–9121, Community Service 

Assignment; ETA–9122, Unsubsidized

Agency Customer Satisfaction; ETA–

Satisfaction; and ETA–8705, State 

Equitable Distribution Report. The 

SCSEP Performance Measurement 

System has six core indicators of 

performance: (1) Aggregate hours of 

community service provided compared 

to the number of hours funded by the 

grant; (2) entry into unsubsidized 

employment; (3) retention in 

unsubsidized employment for six 

months; (4) average earnings; (5) 

number of eligible individuals served 

compared to the number of positions 

funded; and (6) average number of mostin-need barriers of the individuals 

served. Additional indicators of 

performance include: (1) Retention in 

unsubsidized employment for one (1) 

year; (2) satisfaction of the participants, 

employers, and host agencies with their 

experiences and the services provided; 

and (3) exiting participants who enter 

volunteer work. This information 

collection has been classified as a 

revision, because (1) of changes that will 

provide additional data fields to 

grantees that have received awards in 

PY 2013 under a limited competition for 

pilot grants; (2) the ETA is introducing 

a quarterly narrative report to 

standardize the quarterly submission; 

(3) of changes to the Equitable 

Distribution Report to reflect that all of 

the data required for an analysis 

equitable distribution of resources is 

now provided to grantees on 

SCSEPED.org; and (4) additional 

questions to each of the customer 

satisfaction surveys. Older Americans 

Act section 513(f) authorizes this 

information collection. See 42 U.S.C. 

3056(f). 

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 it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

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 Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1205–0040. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on 

March 31, 2015; however, the DOL 

notes that existing information 

collection requirements submitted to the 

OMB receive a month-to-month 

extension while they undergo review. 

New requirements would only take 

effect upon OMB approval. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 5, 2014 (79 FR 65705). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section by April 30, 2015. In order to 

help ensure appropriate consideration, 

comments should mention OMB Control 

Number 1205–0040. The OMB is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.

helps ensure that requested data can be 

provided in the desired format, 

reporting burden (time and financial 

resources) is minimized, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

the impact of collection requirements on 

respondents can be properly assessed. 

Currently, ETA is soliciting comments 

concerning the collection of data about 

the Unemployment Insurance Weekly 

Claims data collection, which expires 

October 31, 2015.

submitted to the office listed in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The ETA 538 and ETA 539 reports are 

weekly reports which contain 

information on initial claims and 

continued weeks claimed. These figures 

are important economic indicators. The 

ETA 538 provides information that 

allows unemployment claims 

information to be released to the public 

five days after the close of the reference 

period. The ETA 539 contains more 

detailed weekly claims information and 

the state’s 13-week insured 

unemployment rate which is used to 

determine eligibility for the Extended 

Benefits program. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department is particularly 

interested in comments which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.
