Department of Transportation, Office of the Secretary

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise: Program Implementation Modifications

The Department is correcting a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published in the Federal Register. In that document, the Department proposed, among other modifications, to change the Uniform Report of DBE Commitments/Awards and Payments form found in our regulations. As this is an information collection covered by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), the Department should have included a discussion of this collection in the ‘‘Paperwork Reduction Act’’ section of the NPRM in order to comply with the PRA’s procedural requirements. Today, the Department is correcting this omission by including discussion of the Uniform Report collection and providing the public with 60 days from today to comment both on this collection and all other aspects of the NPRM. Thus, the original end of the comment period, November 5, 2012, has been extended until December 24, 2012.
