1291-AA46 202504 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1291 Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management OASAM 1200 Department of Labor DOL Rescission of Workforce Investment Act Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity Regulations

The U.S. Department of Labor (the Department) is rescinding its regulations implementing Section 188 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA), currently located in part 37 of title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Section 188 contained the nondiscrimination and equal-opportunity provisions of WIA. In 2014, Congress passed the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which repealed WIA and required the Secretary of Labor to transition any authority under WIA to the system created by WIOA. Therefore, the Department is taking this action to remove regulations for a program that is no longer operative in accordance with Executive Order 14219, Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President’s ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ Deregulatory Initiative (February 19, 2025).
