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
[[Page 47180]]
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
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.
Agenda: The agenda topics for the meeting are: (1) Using data more
effectively to advance key policy goals; (2) Identifying opportunities
for and overcoming barriers to increased data sharing; (3) Improving
access to and presentation of data for customers; and (4) Expanding and
improving the currency and relevance of data on skills. Additionally,
sub-committees will provide updates on progress toward developing
recommendations for the Advisory Council's consideration, and the
Advisory Council will discuss agenda items for a fall 2024 meeting. A
detailed agenda will be available at <a href="http://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/wioa/wiac/meetings">www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/wioa/wiac/meetings</a> shortly before the meetings commence.
The Advisory Council will open the floor for public comment at
approximately 1:15 p.m. EDT for approximately 10 minutes. However, that
time may change at the WIAC chair's discretion.
