SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: This meeting is 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 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 continually 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
[[Page 89729]]
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.
