Sec. 661.250  What are the requirements for designation of local workforce investment areas?

    (a) The Governor must designate local workforce investment areas in 
order for the State to receive funding under title I of WIA.
    (b) The Governor must take into consideration the factors described 
in WIA section 116(a)(1)(B) in making designations of local areas. Such 
designation must be made in consultation with the State Board, and after

in the State workforce investment plan under Sec. 661.220(d).
    (c) The Governor may approve a request for designation as a 
workforce investment area from any unit of general local government,

recommends designation.
    (d) The Governor of any State that was a single service delivery 
area State under the Job Training Partnership Act as of July 1, 1998, 
and only those States, may designate the State as a single local 
workforce investment area State. (WIA sec.116.)
