SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Supportive Services (DBE/ SS) Statement of Work Template. Summary: The DBE/SS regulations (23 CFR 230.204 (c)) require State DOT recipients to provide a detailed SOW outlining the proposed services and budget, approximated, based on the provided estimated funding allocation. State DOTs must submit a SOW that conforms to the purpose of the program, regulatory requirements, and federal cost principles to be eligible for funding. State DOTs send their proposed SOWs to the respective FHWA Division Office for review and approval, and the Division Offices sends the SOWs to HCR for concurrence and obtaining approvals necessary for allocating funds. While HCR has created guidance for State DOTs to follow in creating their SOWs, currently are submitted in paper form and the contents and size of the submissions vary. Providing State DOTs with a SOW template available through the Civil Rights Connect System will streamline the SOW creation, submission, review, and approval process. The information required to populate the DBE/SS SOW template is based on existing requirements found in 23 CFR 230, Subpart C; therefore, State DOTs should have information to populate the SOW readily available. The information will merely be entered in an electronic fillable form as opposed to submitting a paper copy. The electronic system will also directly pre-populate the State’s Annual Accomplishment Report with the metrices identified in the State’s SOW. This feature further streamlines the reporting process by eliminating the States’ need to duplicate language from the SOW into the Annual Report. This ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 8339 feature will also allow HCR to more easily pair the performance metrics with their accomplishments in reviewing the State’s Annual DBE/SS Report. While the requirements will not change, use of the SOW template will benefit State DOTs and FHWA by making the submissions more uniform in size and content and streamlining the submission and review process. This will ultimately allow HCR to allocate funding in a more timely manner that will directly benefit DBEs, an important piece of the Department’s and FHWA’s equity initiative.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Supportive Services (DBE/
SS) Statement of Work Template.
    Summary: The DBE/SS regulations (23 CFR 230.204 (c)) require State 
DOT recipients to provide a detailed SOW outlining the proposed 
services and budget, approximated, based on the provided estimated 
funding allocation. State DOTs must submit a SOW that conforms to the 
purpose of the program, regulatory requirements, and federal cost 
principles to be eligible for funding. State DOTs send their proposed 
SOWs to the respective FHWA Division Office for review and approval, 
and the Division Offices sends the SOWs to HCR for concurrence and 
obtaining approvals necessary for allocating funds.
    While HCR has created guidance for State DOTs to follow in creating 
their SOWs, currently are submitted in paper form and the contents and 
size of the submissions vary. Providing State DOTs with a SOW template 
available through the Civil Rights Connect System will streamline the 
SOW creation, submission, review, and approval process.
    The information required to populate the DBE/SS SOW template is 
based on existing requirements found in 23 CFR 230, Subpart C; 
therefore, State DOTs should have information to populate the SOW 
readily available. The information will merely be entered in an 
electronic fillable form as opposed to submitting a paper copy. The 
electronic system will also directly pre-populate the State's Annual 
Accomplishment Report with the metrices identified in the State's SOW. 
This feature further streamlines the reporting process by eliminating 
the States' need to duplicate language from the SOW into the Annual

performance metrics with their accomplishments in reviewing the State's 
Annual DBE/SS Report.
    While the requirements will not change, use of the SOW template 
will benefit State DOTs and FHWA by making the submissions more uniform 
in size and content and streamlining the submission and review process. 
This will ultimately allow HCR to allocate funding in a more timely 
manner that will directly benefit DBEs, an important piece of the 
Department's and FHWA's equity initiative.

burden for 53 recipients is 212 hours annually.
