    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 
            submit the application to the Secretaries.
            (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.
