Sec. 631.1  Scope and purpose.


    This part implements Title III of the Act. Title III programs seek 
to establish an early readjustment capacity for workers and firms in 
each State; to provide comprehensive coverage to workers regardless of 
the cause of dislocation; to provide early referral from the 
unemployment insurance system to adjustment services as an integral part 
of the adjustment process; to foster labor, management and community 
partnerships with government in addressing worker dislocation; to 
emphasize retraining and reemployment services rather than income 
support; to create an on-going substate capacity to deliver adjustment 
services; to tailor services to meet the needs of individuals; to 
improve accountability by establishing a system of mandated performance 
standards; to improve financial management by monitoring expenditures 
and reallotting available funds; and to provide the flexibility to 
target funds to the most critical dislocation problems.
