A State may submit to the Secretaries a request for a waiver of 1 or
more requirements of the provisions of law referred to in sections 6212
and 6213 of this title, or of the regulations issued under such
provisions, in order to carry out the statewide School-to-Work
Opportunities system established by such State under part B of
subchapter II of this chapter. The State may submit the request as a
part of the application described in section 6143 of this title (or as
an amendment to the application at any time after submission of the
application). Such request may include a request for different waivers
with respect to different areas within the State.
(b) Local partnership request for waiver
(1) In general
A local partnership that seeks a waiver of such a requirement
shall submit an application for such waiver to the State, and the
State shall determine whether to submit a request for a waiver to
the Secretaries, as provided in subsection (a) of this section.
(2) Time limit
(A) In general
The State shall make a determination to submit or not submit
the request for a waiver under paragraph (1) not later than 30
days after the date on which the State receives the application
from the local partnership.
(B) Direct submission
(i) In general
If the State does not make a determination to submit or
not submit the request within the 30-day time period
specified in subparagraph (A), the local partnership may

(ii) Requirements
In submitting such an application, the local partnership
shall obtain the agreement of the State involved to comply
with the requirements of section 6212(a)(1)(C) or
6213(a)(1)(C) of this title, as appropriate, and comply with
the other requirements of section 6212 or 6213 of this
title, as appropriate, and of subsections (c) and (d) of
this section, that would otherwise apply to a State
submitting a request for a waiver. In reviewing such an
application, the Secretaries shall comply with the
requirements of such section and such subsections that would
otherwise apply to the Secretaries with respect to review of
such a request.
(c) Waiver criteria
Any such request by the State shall meet the criteria contained in
section 6212 or 6213 of this title and shall specify the provisions or
regulations referred to in such sections with respect to which the State
seeks a waiver.
(d) Support by appropriate State agencies
In requesting such a waiver, the State shall provide evidence of
support for the waiver request by the State agencies or officials with
jurisdiction over the provisions or regulations that would be waived.
