Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Participation in Federal Aviation Administration Funded Contracts

[35 Pa.B. 4265]

   Under the authority contained in 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 (relating to participation by disadvantaged business enterprises in Department of Transportation financial assistance programs) the Department of Transportation (Department) provided public notice at 35 Pa.B. 3629 (June 25, 2005) of its overall goal for participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) in its Federally assisted contracts.

   In accordance with the public participation requirement in 49 CFR 26.45 (relating to how do recipients set overall goals), the Department completed its consultation with minority, women, general contractor groups, community organizations and other officials expected to have information concerning the availability of disadvantaged and nondisadvantaged businesses and identification of barriers to contracting opportunities in an effort to establish a level playing field for the participation of DBEs.

   The Department's methodology reflects an overall goal of 11.8% 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 the methodology and goal available for inspection and comment for 45 days from the date of this notice. To review the DBE goal document, contact any of the following locations:
