Workforce Investment Act (WIA) regulations <br />require a thirty-day public comment period for all plan modifications to <br />allow for input on the expected usage of these federal funds and prior to <br />the plan modification being approved. <br />The proposed plan modification document was mailed to all WIB members and <br />other interested parties on October 22, 2008, and a notice was published <br />in the O.C. Register announcing its availability to the public for a <br />thirty day comment period on October 21, 2008. The Public Hearing was <br />19D-1 <br />
