The Department does not intend for contracts, agreements, inter-
agency agreements, retainers, and similar arrangements to be negotiated
and/or entered into for the sole purpose of applying previously existing
rules and regulations. The 1992 JTPA amendments were effective July 1,
1993. The Department intends that contracts, awards and agreements
entered into on or before June 30, 1993 are to be used to serve and/or
train participants enrolled on or before June 30, 1993, unless the
contracts and agreements are modified to comply with the new amendments
and regulations.
