This Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 11-11, Change 2 clarifies the implementation of the Selective Service registration requirements of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 § 189(h), codified at 20 CFR 667.250, and the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. App. 453), codified at 32 CFR Part 1605. This guidance clarifies that grantees, subgrantees, or contractors funded or authorized by Title I of WIA must set a policy for potential participants who are males 26 years old or older that failed to register with the Selective Service. The policy may either (1) request a Status Information Letter from a potential participant before making a determination of knowing and willful failure to register; or (2) initiate the process to determine if the potential participant’s failure to register was knowing and willful without the first requesting a Status Information Letter (see Section 4. Ensuring Selective Service Compliance in the Public Workforce System). This clarification replaces and supersedes prior guidance issued.

As explained in this TEGL, restrictions based on criminal history records may have a disparate impact on members of a particular race or national origin, in violation of federal antidiscrimination laws. This guidance is being issued by the Employment and Training Administration (ETA), in conjunction with the Civil Rights Center (CRC).
