Planning Guidance and
Instructions for Submission of the Strategic State Plan and Plan
Modifications for Title I of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998
(WIA) and the...
The Workforce Investment Act of 1998
(Public Law 105-220) provides the framework for a network of State
workforce investment systems designed to meet the needs of the
nation's businesses, job seekers, youth, and those who want to
further their careers. Title I requires that States develop
five-year strategic plans for this system, which must also contain
the detail plans required under the Wagner-Peyser Act (29 USC 49g).
Plan modifications to the WIA title I and Wagner-Peyser Act (29 USC
49g) are required by WIA 20 CFR 661-230. Section V provides States
the option of submitting a State Unified Plan.
ETA has combined PRA clearance
number 1205-0407 with this clearance and is submitting 2 IC's under
1205-0398. In its last submission, ETA estimated that it would
receive 19 modifications each year for 1205-0398. In 2007, however,
ETA received 56 modifications from entities submitting a Stand
Alone Plan. ETA now estimates that it will receive 56 modifications
from entities submitting the standalone plan IC. The burden hours
for each submission remain the same; therefore the total hours
requested for the IC for Stand-Alone Plans is estimated to increase
correspondingly from 950 to 2,800. With the addition of the 2nd IC
for Unified State Plans (formerly cleared under PRA No. 1205-0407),
the number of respondents increases by an additional 3 and
increases the total hours by an additional 150 hours. Therefore,
for PRA No. 1205-0398, the total number of respondents is 59 and
the total burden hours are 2,950; the time estimates to complete
both IC's remain the same as previously reported.
