Notice of renewal of the
Workforce Information Advisory
Council.
ACTION:
The Department of Labor
(Department) announces the renewal of
the Workforce Information Advisory
Council (WIAC) charter.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background and Authority
Section 15 of the Wagner-Peyser Act,
29 U.S.C. 49 l–2, as amended by section
308 (e) of the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA), Public
Law 113–128 requires the Secretary of
Labor (Secretary) to establish and
maintain the WIAC.
The statute, as amended, requires the
Secretary, acting through the
Commissioner of Labor Statistics and
the Assistant Secretary for Employment
and Training, to formally consult at
least twice annually with the WIAC to
address: (1) Evaluation and
improvement of the nationwide
workforce and labor market information
system established by the WagnerPeyser Act, and of the statewide systems
that comprise the nationwide system,
and (2) how the Department and the
States will cooperate in the management
of those systems. The Secretary, acting
through the Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) and the Employment and Training
Administration (ETA), and in
consultation with the WIAC and
appropriate Federal agencies, must also
develop a 2-year plan for management
of the system, with subsequent updates
every two years thereafter. The statute
generally prescribes how the plan is to
be developed and implemented,
outlines the contents of the plan, and
requires the Secretary to submit the plan
to designated authorizing committees in
the House and Senate.
By law, the Secretary must ‘‘solicit,
receive, and evaluate’’
recommendations from the WIAC, and
respond to the recommendations in
writing to the WIAC. The WIAC must
make written recommendations to the
Secretary on the evaluation and
improvement of the workforce and labor
market information system, including
recommendations for the 2-year plan.
The 2-year plan, in turn, must describe
WIAC recommendations and the extent
to which the plan incorporates them.
The WIAC accomplishes its objectives
by, for example: (1) Studying workforce
and labor market information issues; (2)
seeking and sharing information on
innovative approaches, new
technologies, and data to inform
employment, skills training, and
workforce and economic development
decision making and policy; and (3)
PO 00000
Frm 00069

Sfmt 4703
advising the Secretary on how the
workforce and labor market information
system can best support workforce
development, planning, and program
development.
II. Structure
The Wagner-Peyser Act at section
15(d)(2)(B), requires the WIAC to have
14 representative members, appointed
by the Secretary, consisting of:
(i) Four members who are
representatives of lead State agencies
with responsibility for workforce
investment activities, or State agencies
described in Wagner-Peyser Act Section
4 (agency designated or authorized by
Governor to cooperate with the
Secretary), who have been nominated by
such agencies or by a national
organization that represents such
agencies;
(ii) Four members who are
representatives of the State workforce
and labor market information directors
affiliated with the State agencies
responsible for the management and
oversight of the workforce and labor
market information system as described
in Wagner-Peyser Act Section 15(e)(2),
who have been nominated by the
directors;
(iii) One member who is a
representative of providers of training
services under WIOA section 122
(Identification of Eligible Providers of
Training Services);
(iv) One member who is a
representative of economic development
entities;
(v) One member who is a
representative of businesses, who has
been nominated by national business
organizations or trade associations;
(vi) One member who is a
representative of labor organizations,
who has been nominated by a national
labor federation;
(vii) One member who is a
representative of local workforce
development boards, who has been
nominated by a national organization
representing such boards; and
(viii) One member who is a
representative of research entities that
use workforce and labor market
information.
The Secretary must ensure that the
membership of the WIAC is
geographically diverse, and that no two
members appointed under clauses (i),
(ii), and (vii), above, represent the same
State. Each member of the WIAC is
appointed for a term of three years,
except that the initial terms for members
may be one, two, or three years in order
to establish a rotation in which onethird of the members are selected each
year and the Secretary will not appoint
