Abstract:
This consolidated information collection implements 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 information collection request (ICR) is being submitted in association with the Wagner-Peyser Act Staffing, Final Rule (88 FR 82658; RIN 1205-AC02). The revised regulations require States to use State merit staff to provide Wagner-Peyser Act ES services, including services provided to MSFWs under 20 CFR parts 653 and 658, although Colorado, Massachusetts, and Michigan may continue to use alternative staffing models to the same extent the Department previously authorized prior to the 2020 Wagner-Peyser Act Staffing Flexibility Final Rule (85 FR 592, January 6, 2020; RIN 1205-AB87). The Department is requiring that SMA functions at ยง 653.108 be performed by State merit staff in all States, including Colorado, Massachusetts, and Michigan. The Final Rule makes additional revisions to the ES regulations to strengthen the provision of services to MSFWs and to enhance the protections afforded by the Monitor Advocate System and the Complaint System. This ICR is necessary to support regulatory changes the Department is making in the Final Rule.
