§679.240. What are the substantive requirements for designation of local areas that were not designated as local areas under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998?
20 C.F.R. § 679.240
Except as provided in § 679.250, the Governor may designate or redesignate a local area in accordance with policies and procedures developed by the Governor, which must include at a minimum consideration of the extent to which the proposed area:
Is consistent with local labor market areas;
Has a common economic development area; and
Has the Federal and non-Federal resources, including appropriate education and training institutions, to administer activities under WIOA subtitle B.
The Governor may approve a request at any time for designation as a workforce development area from any unit of general local government, including a combination of such units, if the State WDB determines that the area meets the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this section and recommends designation.
Regardless of whether a local area has been designated under this section or § 679.250, the Governor may redesignate a local area if the redesignation has been requested by a local area and the Governor approves the request.
