91
How are the rules created?

Department of Labor (Titles I and III)
Department of Education (Titles II and IV)
WIOA regulations are published in the Federal Register as WIOA Final Rules and WIOA Joint Rules
92
How are the rules created?
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) process is established by the Administrative Procedure Act (1946):
1. Agency (e.g., DOL) proposes rule via the NPRM

3. The NPRM goes through public comment
4. Agency analyzes and responds to the public comments
