Abstract:
This consolidated information collection would implement sections 102 and 103 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) (P.L. 113-128), which requires each State to submit a Unified State Plan or, in the alternative, a Combined State Plan. The Unified or Combined State Plan requirements improve service integration and ensure that the workforce system is industry-relevant by responding to the economic needs of the State and matching employers with skilled workers. To that end, the Unified or Combined State Plan would describe how the State will develop and implement a unified, integrated service delivery system rather than discuss the State's approach to operating each core program individually.

Short Statement:
This consolidated information collection would implement sections 102 and 103 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) (P.L. 113-128), which requires each State to submit a Unified State Plan or, in the alternative, a Combined State Plan. The Unified or Combined State Plan requirements improve service integration and ensure that the workforce system is industry-relevant by responding to the economic needs of the State and matching employers with skilled workers. To that end, the Unified or Combined State Plan would describe how the State will develop and implement a unified, integrated service delivery system rather than discuss the State's approach to operating each core program individually. Section 102(a) of WIOA requires each State, at a minimum, to submit a Unified State Plan that fosters strategic alignment of the core programs, which include the adult, dislocated worker, and youth programs (title I); Adult Education and Family Literacy Act program (title II); the Wagner-Peyser program (title III); and the Vocational Rehabilitation program (title IV). In the alternative, section 103 of WIOA permits a State to submit a Combined State Plan that would include the core programs plus one or more of the optional Federal programs listed in section 103(b). If the State chooses to submit a Combined State Plan, such plan will incorporate all of the common planning elements required in the Unified State Plan, as well as an additional element describing how the State will coordinate the optional programs with the core programs (WIOA sec. 103(b)(3)). The consolidated information collection for the Unified State Plan will replace existing planning information collections for the core programs. For States that choose to submit a Combined State Plan, those programs' existing information collections for the optional programs, including for program-specific planning requirements, will continue to exist under their current control numbers. A State's Combined State Plan must meet the information collections for all optional programs that a State includes. However, a State that submits a Combined State Plan is not required to submit any other State plan to receive funding for any optional program covered under that Combined State Plan (WIOA sec. 103(b)(2)). The Departments anticipate that the above collections consolidated in this new information collection request may be phased out or modified, as appropriate, as the WIOA requirements are fully implemented, with a corresponding drop in burden.
