SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The US Department of
Labor (DOL) Chief Evaluation Office, in
collaboration with the Employment
Training Administration, has funded the
Urban Institute and its partner Capital
Research Corporation to conduct the
Older Workers Implementation and
Descriptive Study (2021–2024). The
purpose of this study is 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. The overall
project is comprised of three phases: (1)
Knowledge development activities that
E:\FR\FM\14FEN1.SGM
14FEN1
8297
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 30 / Monday, February 14, 2022 / Notices
identify the evidence base and inform
the project about promising approaches
for serving and measuring outcomes for
older workers or other target
populations that share characteristics
with this group. Information sources
include literature review, grantee
documents, program data, clarification
calls with grantees, as needed, and
grantee ‘‘listening sessions’’ to gain
perspectives on topics of interest. (2) A
rigorous Implementation Study to
identify program typologies and models
whose approaches, components, and
service delivery could best serve older
workers or populations with similar
employment barriers, including
innovations in implementing paid work
components, outreach to the target
population, supports for participants,
and strategies developed during the
COVID–19 pandemic and considering
strategies for expanding equity. An
Early Implementation component of the
study will focus in a subset of grantees’
experiences during and post-pandemic.
Data sources include a web survey of
grantees/subgrantee service providers,
site visits to a subset of grantees to
interview staff, community service
agencies, and employer partners, and
interviews with participants. (3) An
evaluability assessment to develop
options for potential future research and
evaluation studies that address gaps in
the evidence base related to
employment services for older workers.
Data sources include information
gathered for other phases and additional
clarification calls with grantees, as
needed.
This Federal Register Notice provides
the opportunity to comment on nine
proposed data collection instruments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The US Department of Labor (DOL) Chief Evaluation
Office, in collaboration with the Employment Training Administration,
has funded the Urban Institute and its partner Capital Research
Corporation to conduct the Older Workers Implementation and Descriptive
Study (2021-2024). The purpose of this study is 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. The
overall project is comprised of three phases: (1) Knowledge development
activities that
[[Page 8297]]
identify the evidence base and inform the project about promising
approaches for serving and measuring outcomes for older workers or
other target populations that share characteristics with this group.
Information sources include literature review, grantee documents,
program data, clarification calls with grantees, as needed, and grantee
``listening sessions'' to gain perspectives on topics of interest. (2)
A rigorous Implementation Study to identify program typologies and
models whose approaches, components, and service delivery could best
serve older workers or populations with similar employment barriers,
including innovations in implementing paid work components, outreach to
the target population, supports for participants, and strategies
developed during the COVID-19 pandemic and considering strategies for
expanding equity. An Early Implementation component of the study will
focus in a subset of grantees' experiences during and post-pandemic.
Data sources include a web survey of grantees/subgrantee service
providers, site visits to a subset of grantees to interview staff,
community service agencies, and employer partners, and interviews with
participants. (3) An evaluability assessment to develop options for
potential future research and evaluation studies that address gaps in
the evidence base related to employment services for older workers.
Data sources include information gathered for other phases and
additional clarification calls with grantees, as needed.
This Federal Register Notice provides the opportunity to comment on
nine proposed data collection instruments that will be used in the
study: SCSEP subgrantee survey; 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; and SCSEP participant interview guide.
1. SCSEP subgrantee survey. Includes all subgrantees (including
local affiliates of national grantees) of 19 national grantees. The
survey does not include the state grantees.
2. SCSEP subgrantee staff interview protocol. Virtual interviews
with 5 subgrantee staff in each of 20 local sites of the national
grantees.
3. SCSEP host agency interview protocol. Virtual interviews with 2
grantee staff for 15 national grantees overseeing the 20 local sites
4. SCSEP grantee staff interview protocol. Virtual interviews with
2 host agency staff (one leadership and one supervisory) staff person
for each of 20 local sites
5. SCSEP employer partner interview protocol. Virtual interviews
with 1 staff with employers in each of 20 local sites
6. SCSEP American Job Center partner interview protocol. Virtual
interviews with 2 staff at American Job Centers in each of 20 local
sites
7. SCSEP community organization partner interview protocol. Virtual
interviews with 2 staff at community organization partners in each of
20 local sites
8. SCSEP participant focus group protocol. Includes focus groups
with 7 SCSEP participants in each of the 8 local sites
9. SCSEP participant interview guide. Virtual interviews with 3
SCSEP participants in each of the 12 local sites.
II. Desired Focus of Comments: Currently, DOL is soliciting
comments concerning the above data collection for the Older Workers
Implementation and Descriptive Study. DOL is particularly interested in
comments that do the following:
[cir] Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
[cir] evaluate the accuracy of the agency's burden estimate of the
proposed information collection, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions;
[cir] enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
[cir] 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--for example, permitting
electronic submissions of responses.
III. Current Actions: At this time, DOL is requesting clearance for
the SCSEP subgrantee survey; 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 participants focus group protocol; and SCSEP
