Rescission of Workforce Investment Act Regulations
Summary
The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) of the Department of Labor (Department) is removing the regulations that implemented and governed the Title I Workforce Investment Act (WIA) programs at the national, State, and local levels and provided program requirements applicable to all WIA formula and competitive funds. Title I of WIA was repealed by Congress with the enactment of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) on June 22, 2014, and all remaining grant funding under Title I has been closed out by the Department. Accordingly, these regulations are no longer necessary, and the Department is taking this action to remove regulations from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for programs that are no longer operative.

The rescission of the Workforce Investment Act regulations directly impacts businesses by eliminating outdated compliance requirements and allowing businesses to navigate labor programs more efficiently under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). As WIA grant funds are closed out, businesses will need to adapt to funding reallocation and program transitions.
