# §684.900. Does the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act provide regulatory and/or statutory waiver authority?


Yes, WIOA [sec. 166(i)(3)](/cfr/20/166.md?p=i-3) permits waivers of any statutory or regulatory requirement of title I of WIOA that are inconsistent with the specific needs of the INA program grantee (except for the areas cited in [§ 684.920](/cfr/20/684.920.md)). Such waivers may include those necessary to facilitate WIOA support of long-term community development goals.
