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.
As program appropriations decrease, grantees serve fewer participants, which have decreased burden hours. The response data for the three customer satisfaction surveys have also been adjusted downward based on PY 2013 usage statistics. In addition, SCSEP now operates with 72 grantees.
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
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
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.
