    The Honorable Charles E. Grassley
    House of Representatives                      110826

    Dear Mr. Grassley:

         Subject: The Distribution of Senior Communit
                   Service Employment Program Positions
                   (HRD-80-13)

         Your February 3, 1978, letter requested that we examine,
    as part of an ongoing survey,(the procedures used to select
    project sites for the Senior Community Service Employment
    Program (SCSEP). You were conc nR  that SCSEP      p   t4and
  positions, especial-1ly in Iowa i'fweee ni bein1 srzibted
    evenly throughout the State.

         Our survey was made primarily at the Department of
    Labor; the Administration on Aging in the Department of
    Health, Education, and Welfare; and the offices of the five
    national grantees under contract with Labor to administer
    the program, whose headquarters are in Washington, D.C. At
    these locations we also obtained information on the pro-
    gram's operation in Iowa.

         Enclosure I details the results of our survey applicable
    to your request. The law and regulatio.ns state that funds
    should be apportioned equitably among areas in each State.
    The criteria used by the national grantees in apportioning
    funds (in essence distributing positions) are based on admin-
    istrative economy and visible program impact. Although these.
    criteria have merit, considering the limited amount of avail-
    able funds, they do not result in the most equitable dis-
    tribution of positions.



                                                    (205910)
