and programs, which is comprised of lists submitted by Local Boards;
    (2) Determining if programs meet performance levels, including 
verifying the accuracy of the information on the State list in 
consultation with the Local Boards, removing programs that do not meet 
program performance levels, and taking appropriate enforcement actions, 
against providers in the case of the intentional provision of inaccurate 
information, as described in WIA section 122(f)(1), and in the case of a 
substantial violation of the requirements of WIA, as described in WIA 
section 122(f)(2);
    (3) Disseminating the State list, accompanied by performance and 
cost information relating to each provider, to One-Stop operators 
throughout the State.
    (d) The Local Board must:
    (1) Accept applications for initial eligibility from certain 
postsecondary institutions and entities providing apprenticeship 
training;
    (2) Carry out procedures prescribed by the Governor to assist in 
determining the initial eligibility of other providers;
    (3) Carry out procedures prescribed by the Governor to assist in 
determining the subsequent eligibility of all providers;
    (4) Compile a local list of eligible providers, collect the 
performance and cost information and any other required information 
relating to providers;
    (5) Submit the local list and information to the designated State 
agency;
    (6) Ensure the dissemination and appropriate use of the State list 
through the local One-Stop system;
    (7) Consult with the designated State agency in cases where 
termination of an eligible provider is contemplated because inaccurate 
information has been provided; and
    (8) Work with the designated State agency in cases where the 
termination of an eligible provider is contemplated because of 
violations of the Act.
    (e) The Local Board may:
    (1) Make recommendations to the Governor on the procedures to be 
used in determining initial eligibility of certain providers;
    (2) Increase the levels of performance required by the State for 
local providers to maintain subsequent eligibility;
    (3) Require additional verifiable program-specific information from 
local providers to maintain subsequent eligibility.
