          Matterof:  Senior Community Service Employment Program

          File:      B-222248

          Date:      March 13, 1987


          DIGEST

          The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission questions whether
          it may be a host agency under the Senior Community Service
          Employment Program, which is funded by federal grant and
          administered under federal statute by the American Associa-
          tion of Retired Persons. The Commission may properly act as
          a host agency in this context since this would not contra-
          vene the provisions of 31 U.S.C. § 1342, which prohibits
          federal agencies from accepting voluntary services from
          private citizens in the absence of statutory authority.



          DECISION

          The issue presented in this matter is whether the Equal
          Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) may serve as a host
          agency in using enrollees of the Senior Community Service
          Employment Program for part-time clerical work, notwith-
          standing that by law federal agencies are generally pro-
          hibited from accepting voluntary services. T/ We conclude
          that this general prohibition does not apply to the enrollees
          in the program at issue, so that EEOC may properly accept
          their services for part-time clerical work.

          BACKGROUND

          The Senior Community Service Employment Program is admin-
          istered by the American Association of Retired Persons, a
          nongovernmental organization, under a federal grant and an
          agreement with the Secretary of Labor, as authorized by
          subch pter IX of Chapter 35, title 42 of the United States
          Code,/42 U.S.C. §§ 305 t-3056f.



          l/ Mr. William Bartlett, Acting Director, Personnel Manage-
          ment Services, EEOC, reqiested our decision in this matter.
