Mr. Rietzke is the Designated Federal Officer for the WIAC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: The WIAC is an important component of the Workforce 
Innovation and Opportunity Act. The WIAC is a Federal Advisory 
Committee of workforce and labor market information experts 
representing a broad range of national, State, and local data and 
information users and producers. The purpose of the WIAC is to provide 
recommendations to the Secretary of Labor, working jointly through the 
Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training and the Commissioner of 
Labor Statistics, to address: (1) The evaluation and improvement of the 
nationwide workforce and labor market information (WLMI) system and 
statewide systems that comprise the nationwide system; and (2) how the 
Department and the States will cooperate in the management of those 
systems. These systems include programs to produce employment- related 
statistics and State and local workforce and labor market information.
    The Department of Labor anticipates the WIAC will accomplish its 
objectives by: (1) Studying workforce and labor market information 
issues; (2) seeking and sharing information on innovative approaches, 
new technologies, and data to inform employment, skills training, and 
workforce and economic development decision making and policy; and (3) 
advising the Secretary on how the workforce and labor market 
information system can best support workforce development, planning, 
and program development. Additional information is available at 
www.doleta.gov/wioa/wiac/.
    Purpose: The WIAC is currently in the process of identifying and 
reviewing issues and aspects of the WLMI system and statewide systems 
that comprise the nationwide system and how the Department and the 
States will cooperate in the management of those systems. As part of 
this process, the Advisory Council meets to gather information and to 
engage in deliberative and planning activities to facilitate the 
development and provision of its recommendations to the Secretary in a 
timely manner.
    Agenda: Members will achieve concensus on and finalize subcommittee 
and full-committee recommendations for the Secretary. The committee may 
hear general information from subject matter experts in BLS and ETA.
    The Advisory Council will open the floor for public comment 
periodically. The first opportunity for public comment is expected to 
be at 3:00 p.m. EST; however, that time may change at the WIAC chair's 
discretion. Once the member discussion, public comment period, and 
discussion of next steps and new business has concluded, the meeting 
will adjourn. The WIAC does not anticipate the meeting lasting past 
5:00 p.m. EST.
    The full agenda for the meeting, and changes or updates to the 
agenda, will be posted on the WIAC's web page, www.doleta.gov/wioa/wiac/.
