Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 46754 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 158 / Thursday, August 19, 2021 / Notices In January 2021, President Biden renewed the Federal government’s commitment to civil rights and directed Federal agencies to address all forms of discrimination. The Executive Order on Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government (E.O. 13985) requires Federal agencies to recognize and work to redress inequities in their policies and programs, assess whether the agency’s programs and policies perpetuate systemic barriers to opportunities and benefits for people of color and other underserved groups, and assess whether new policies, regulations, or guidance documents may be necessary to advance equity in agency actions and programs. The Executive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation (E.O. 13988) requires Federal agencies to conduct a review of regulations, guidance, and other agency actions that prohibit sex discrimination and consider whether to revise, suspend, or rescind such actions or promulgate new actions, to ensure that laws that prevent discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation are fully implemented and enforced. Also, the Presidential Memorandum Condemning and Combating Racism, Xenophobia, and Intolerance against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (January 29 Memorandum) requires Federal agencies to take steps to ensure that official actions, documents, and statements pertaining to the COVID–19 pandemic do not exhibit or contribute to racism, xenophobia, and intolerance against members of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. The Department has established the Anti-Discrimination Subcommittee under the ACPAC to review airlines’ policies, procedures, and practices to prevent discrimination against air travelers on the basis of race, national origin, religion, ancestry and gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation. The Department will select the following entities and diverse persons to serve on the Anti-Discrimination Subcommittee: Persons of diverse backgrounds in race, ethnicity, religion and gender; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ+) persons; national organizations that represent diverse racial, ethnic, and religious communities; national organizations that represent LGBTQ+ communities, airlines, airport operators, contract service providers, and ticket agents. The Anti-Discrimination Subcommittee is tasked with providing recommendations to the ACPAC on best practices related VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:28 Aug 18, 2021 Jkt 253001 to civil rights training and other practices or actions that can be taken by DOT, airlines or others to ensure nondiscriminatory delivery of airlines’ programs and activities to air travelers in accordance with section 407 of the 2018 FAA Act, Executive Orders 13985 and 13988, and President Biden’s January 29 Memorandum. Meetings will be held in person in Washington, DC and/or through a publicly accessible virtual format. Selection of Members to AntiDiscrimination Subcommittee The Department will choose AntiDiscrimination Subcommittee members based on three main criteria: (1) Representativeness (does the applicant represent the airline industry, any group with members who have experienced discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, religion, ancestry, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or an otherwise prohibited category under Federal law, or other interested parties such as airports or ticket agents?); (2) expertise (does the applicant bring essential knowledge, expertise and/or experience regarding aviation civil rights and the topic area(s) of interest that will enrich the discussion of the available options and their respective costs and benefits?); and (3) willingness to participate fully (is the applicant able and willing to attend meetings and generally contribute constructively to a rigorous policy development process?). The Department may select more than one representative for a group, if appropriate, to obtain balanced membership. Individuals applying for membership should keep in mind that AntiDiscrimination Subcommittee members will be selected based on their ability and willingness to effectively represent the interests of all stakeholders in their category, as distinct from their parochial or personal interests. For example, an individual selected to serve on the AntiDiscrimination Subcommittee as a representative of an airline would represent not only his or her own airline, but the interests of all airlines. As such, the individual would be expected to consult with other airlines in bringing issues to the table before the Anti-Discrimination Subcommittee. All interested individuals may selfapply or nominate any individual or organization to the Anti-Discrimination Subcommittee.
