Due to continued <br />uncertainty regarding Workforce Investment Act (WIA) reauthorization, DOL has required only <br />modifications or given extensions to both the state and local plans for the past eight years. The <br />last approved five year local plan for the Santa Ana WIB expired in 2005, with the WIB submitting <br />plan modifications periodically as directed by the State. <br />19F -1 <br />
