SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for

Performance Measurement System--Reporting Forms ETA-9120, Participant 
Data; ETA-9121, Community Service Assignment; ETA-9122, Unsubsidized 
Employment; ETA-9123, Exit; ETA-9124 Part A, Participant Customer 
Satisfaction; ETA-9124 Part B, Host Agency Customer Satisfaction; ETA-
9124 Part C, Employer Customer 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 most-in-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,

necessary

     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
