Technical Advisory #06-3.1, issued March 30, 2006, revised the original Technical Advisory to grant the LWIAs flexibility with regard to submitting the signatures of the Local Workforce Investment Board Chair and the Chief Local Elected Official. The timeframe for submitting those signatures was extended, but must occur no later than the July 1, 2006, the date for implementing the area’s Functional Alignment Addendum.

This revision, Technical Advisory, #06-3.2, is in response to the discussions and information exchanges between the LWIAs and the Department of Labor. Discussion topics and associated questions were aggregated and clarifying answers are included with this TA as Attachment 1, Questions and Answers regarding Functional Alignment. In response to budget discussions, the functional alignment budget template and the directions for completion have been revised. They are included with this Technical Advisory as Attachments E1 and E2, with a revision date of 4/17/06 in the upper right corner.

Submission requirements for the local area’s final Functional Alignment Addendum remain as outlined in the original TA.
