This information collection contains program performance reports required for monitoring the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP). The current request is for an extension with the addition of a request for approval of an additional participant data indicator: participants' volunteer efforts.
The overall burden has increased slightly to 53,346 hours due to added burden for the Exit Form  ETA-9123 - which collects data for the added indicator on volunteer work, and a calculation adjustment for one of the forms from 6 minutes to 10 minutes in burden (ETA-9124A). The federal cost burden increased to $83,434 due in part to federal wage updates and because of the added program participants. In addition, note that ROCIS now also reflects $2,900,000 in annual contractor costs (not included in ROCIS in the previous submission), for a total of $2,984,573.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and

If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
