Under Workflex, governors are granted the authority to approve requests submitted by their local areas to waive certain statutory and regulatory provisions of WIOA Title I programs. States may also request waivers from the Secretary of certain requirements of the Wagner-Peyser Act (Sections 8-10) and the Older Americans Act of 1965. The Act provides that the Secretary may only grant Workflex waiver authority in consideration of a Workflex plan submitted by a State.

Based on the published WIOA regulations and an improved understanding of a respondent’s time commitment for completing the requested information, the estimated total respondent burden was reduced. The Department reduced the Workflex application burden by including the Workflex Plan Collection Form, which outlines the required elements of a request. As a result, the currently approved total annual responses of 21 and the total annual burden hours of 320 are reduced to renewal totals of 25 responses and 235 annual burden hours. The total Federal burden also has been reduced from the currently approved total of 25 review items and 960 annual burden hours to a renewal total of 25 review items and 210 annual burden hours. The reduction in Federal burden can be attributed to improvements made in the review process.
