Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Goal and Methodology for Federal Highway Administration Funded Contracts

[33 Pa.B. 4039]

   Under the Transportation Act for the 21st Century, Act of June 9, 1998, Pub. L. No. 105-178, 112 Stat. 113 (23 U.S.C.A. § 101), and in keeping with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 26, the Department of Transportation (Department) provided public notice at 33 Pa.B. 2827 (June 14, 2003) of its revised goal for participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) in its Federally assisted contracts.

   The Department has reviewed its current methodology for establishing its DBE goal for contracts funded in whole or in part with Federal moneys and has determined that it is in the best interest of affected parties to change its methodology. This new methodology includes data and information necessary to comply with the goal setting process set forth in 49 CFR 26.45.

   The Department proposes an overall goal of 14.85% for DBE participation in Department contracts funded in whole or in part with Federal moneys.

   Consistent with the public participation requirement for this process, the Department is making its goal and methodology available for inspection and review for 45 days from the date of this notice. This goal and methodology was forwarded to Federal Highway Administration on July 31, 2003, for approval, pending input from the public. To review the DBE goal documents, contact one of the following locations:
