Disadvantaged Business Enterprise; Overall Goal Schedule and Substitution
This notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) would propose to improve administration of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program by calling upon recipients of DOT financial assistance to transmit overall goals to the Department for approval every three years, rather than annually.
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program; Potential Program Improvements
This advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) provides interested parties with the opportunity to comment on five matters of interest to participants in the Department of Transportation's disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) program. The first concerns counting of items obtained by a DBE subcontractor from its prime contractor. The second concerns ways of encouraging ``unbundling'' of contracts to facilitate participation by small businesses, including DBEs. The third is a request for comments on potential improvements to the DBE application form, and the fourth asks for suggestions related to program oversight. The fifth concerns potential regulatory action to facilitate certification for firms seeking to work as DBEs in more than one state. The sixth concerns additional limitations on the discretion of prime contractors to terminate DBEs for convenience, once the prime contractor had committed to using the DBE as part of its showing of good faith efforts.
