Abstract: Section 122 of Public Law 113–128, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA), requires training providers to submit performance and cost information in order to become eligible to receive funds through WIOA title 1-B and in order to maintain that eligibility. The Governor or a designated State agency (or State entity) is required to collect this information in order to determine eligibility of training providers and to maintain and to publicly disseminate the State Eligible Training Provider List. However, the Department does not require this information to be collected on any specific form. On August 31, 2015, OMB filed a comment in accordance with 5 CRF 1320.11(c) and assigned the control number of 1205-0523. This ICR requests approval of the information collection.
