This Sample Program is NOT official U.S. <br />Department of Transportation (DOT) guidance. This Sample Program is a revised <br />version of the original version prepared by the DOT. It has been modified by FAA staff <br />and has not yet been reviewed by the General Counsel of the Department of <br />Transportation for consistency with the language and intent of 49 CFR Part 26. <br />However, recipients may wish to use it as a guide in preparing their program <br />documents. Recipients may customize the sample program to fit their circumstances. <br />At a number of points, the Sample DBE Program refers to provisions of Part 26. <br />Recipients may quote referenced portions of the rule in their program if they wish, but <br />they are not required to do so. The Sample DBE Program also provides language for <br />some documents that are part of the program (e.g., policy statements, contract <br />clauses). Except where otherwise noted, recipients are not required to use this <br />language, and may use their own language as long as it meets regulatory requirements. <br />In the sample program, we -have inserted instructions and notes in italics. <br />Recipients should include italicized sections in thei* program documents. <br />You may obtain an electronic version of this document, from FAA Office of Civil Rights <br />website: <br />hftl?://www.faa.gov/abouVoffice_or. org/headguarters offices/acrlbus ent program/training. <br />confl. <br />Page 1 of 43 <br />
