The ACR mission is to provide airport oversight with regard to civil rights laws and regulations under the External Civil Rights Program. ACR consults with airport grant sponsors to develop goal methodologies for contracting and concession projects under the DOT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program. The fiscal year (FY) 2011 ACR Business Plan will focus on conducting reviews to ensure compliance with DBE regulations, as needed, and consultations and training to make airport sponsors aware of their DBE roles and responsibilities. However, the External Civil Rights Program extends beyond the DBE program. It includes airport compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VI, Limited English Proficiency, Environmental Justice and other civil rights regulations. ACR will strive to position itself to increase efforts in these other areas. We will do so by implementing action plans for the external civil rights programs and identifying the most effective strategies for accomplishing our external civil rights mission. ACR will conduct seven DBE, four ADA, and four non-discrimination compliance reviews. In addition, ACR will conduct four national training conferences to include all three programs. A Reference Manual on Airport Accessibility will be developed and several stakeholder meetings will be conducted for all three programs. From an external policy perspective, ACR will develop a DBE Program Development Tool Kit for airports and FAA Orders on Title VI and ADA Operating Procedures.
