Rescission of Affirmative Outreach Requirements for Recipients of WIOA Title I Financial Assistance
Summary
The Department of Labor (Department), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, Civil Rights Center (CRC), proposes to remove the regulations implementing the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity provisions of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) that contain affirmative outreach requirements for recipients of financial assistance under Title I of WIOA. WIOA does not authorize the Department to require affirmative outreach, therefore the Department is proposing to remove this requirement.

The proposed rescission of affirmative outreach requirements for WIOA Title I financial assistance recipients reduces compliance burdens on businesses receiving federal support, which may affect operational costs and recruitment strategies. This deregulation could lead to greater flexibility in how companies engage with diverse groups without mandated outreach efforts.
