State Paperwork Burden for Provider Lists
Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) section 122, state or designated agencies must use this information collection to decide which training providers are eligible to receive WIOA title I‑B funds. The Department of Labor estimates 12,312 respondents and 12,312 responses with a total estimated annual time burden of 8,906 hours; the OMB Control Number is 1205-0523 and DOL seeks approval for three years. Public comments are accepted through January 15, 2026.
Eligibility Rules and Public ETP List
States are required to collect information to determine whether training providers may receive funds under WIOA title I‑B and to maintain and publicly share a state Eligible Training Provider (ETP) list. That public dissemination means training providers must meet state eligibility procedures to appear on the ETP list, which is used to allocate federal training funds in local areas.
