SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: These meetings are being held pursuant to Sec. 308 of
the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA) (Pub. L.
113-128), which amends Sec. 15 of the Wagner-Peyser Act of 1933 (29
U.S.C. 491-2). The WIAC is an important component of WIOA. The WIAC is
a federal advisory committee of workforce and labor market information
experts representing a broad range of national, State, and local data
and information users and producers. The WIAC was established in
accordance with provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), as amended (5
[[Page 1293]]
U.S.C. App.) and will act in accordance with the applicable provisions
of FACA and its implementing regulation at 41 CFR 102-3. The purpose of
the WIAC is to provide recommendations to the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary), working jointly through the Assistant Secretary for
Employment and Training and the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, to
address: (1) the evaluation and improvement of the nationwide workforce
and labor market information (WLMI) system and statewide systems that
comprise the nationwide system; and (2) how the Department and the
States will cooperate in the management of those systems. These systems
include programs to produce employment-related statistics and State and
local workforce and labor market information.
The Department of Labor anticipates the WIAC will accomplish its
objectives by: (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)
advising the Secretary on how the workforce and labor market
information system can best support workforce development, planning,
and program development. Additional information is available at
<a href="http://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/wioa/wiac/meetings">www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/wioa/wiac/meetings</a>.
Purpose: The WIAC is currently in the process of identifying and
reviewing issues and aspects of the WLMI system and statewide systems
that comprise the nationwide system and how the Department and the
States will cooperate in the management of those systems. As part of
this process, the Advisory Council meets to gather information and to
engage in deliberative and planning activities to facilitate the
development and provision of its recommendations to the Secretary in a
timely manner.
