Abstract: The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA), 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.

Short Statement: The burden increase is due to the previous ROCIS submission for waiver submissions, for which there was an estimated 14 submitting waiver requests. However, 59 entities submit modifications, and the NOA of 11/10/2008 approved the total entities at 59, which comported with the 2008 extension submission as well as the current one. The decrease is due to a drop of 50 hours to 40 hours (a reduction of 10 hours per each of the 59 annual submissions, based on the reduced number of questions to which they must respond.
