            (1) Findings.--Congress finds that--
                    (A) while significant progress has occurred due to 
                the establishment of the disadvantaged business 
                enterprise program, discrimination and related barriers 
                continue to pose significant obstacles for minority- 
                and women-owned businesses seeking to do business in 
                federally assisted surface transportation markets 
                across the United States;
                    (B) the continuing barriers described in 
                subparagraph (A) merit the continuation of the 
                disadvantaged business enterprise program;
                    (C) Congress has received and reviewed testimony 
                and documentation of race and gender discrimination 
                from numerous sources, including congressional hearings 
                and roundtables, scientific reports, reports issued by 
                public and private agencies, news stories, reports of 
                discrimination by organizations and individuals, and 
                discrimination lawsuits, which show that race- and 
                gender-neutral efforts alone are insufficient to 
                address the problem;
                    (D) the testimony and documentation described in 
                subparagraph (C) demonstrate that discrimination across 
                the United States poses a barrier to full and fair 
                participation in surface transportation-related 
                businesses of women business owners and minority 
                business owners and has impacted firm development and 
                many aspects of surface transportation-related business 
                in the public and private markets; and
                    (E) the testimony and documentation described in 
                subparagraph (C) provide a strong basis that there is a 
                compelling need for the continuation of the 
                disadvantaged business enterprise program to address 
                race and gender discrimination in surface 
                transportation-related business.

                        concern'' means a small business concern (as 
                        the term is used in section 3 of the Small 
                        Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632)).
                            (ii) Exclusions.--The term ``small business 
                        concern'' does not include any concern or group 
                        of concerns controlled by the same socially and 
                        economically disadvantaged individual or 
                        individuals that have average annual gross 
                        receipts during the preceding 3 fiscal years in 
                        excess of $26,290,000, as adjusted annually by 
                        the Secretary of Transportation for inflation.
                    (B) Socially and economically disadvantaged

                U.S.C. 637(d)) and relevant subcontracting regulations 
                issued pursuant to that Act, except that women shall be 
                presumed to be socially and economically disadvantaged 
                individuals for purposes of this subsection.
            (3) Amounts for small business concerns.--Except to the

                concerns referred to in paragraph (3) in the State, 
                including the location of the small business concerns 
                in the State; and
                    (B) notify the Secretary, in writing, of the 
                percentage of the small business concerns that are 
                controlled by--
                            (i) women;
                            (ii) socially and economically 
                        disadvantaged individuals (other than women); 
                        and
                            (iii) individuals who are women and are 
                        otherwise socially and economically 
                        disadvantaged individuals.
            (5) Uniform certification.--
                    (A) In general.--The Secretary of Transportation 
                shall establish minimum uniform criteria for use by

                of this subsection.
                    (B) Inclusions.--The minimum uniform criteria 
                established under subparagraph (A) shall include, with 
                respect to a potential small business concern--
                            (i) on-site visits;
                            (ii) personal interviews with personnel;
                            (iii) issuance or inspection of licenses;

                            (vi) analyses of bonding capacity;
                            (vii) listings of work completed;

        establish minimum requirements for use by State governments in

                    (A) information concerning disadvantaged business 
                enterprise awards, commitments, and achievements; and
                    (B) such other information as the Secretary 
                determines to be appropriate for the proper monitoring 
                of the disadvantaged business enterprise program.

        receive funds made available under titles I, II, V, and VII of 
        this division and section 403 of title 23, United States Code, 
        if the entity or person is prevented, in whole or in part, from 
        complying with paragraph (3) because a Federal court issues a 
        final order in which the court finds that a requirement or the 
        implementation of paragraph (3) is unconstitutional.
            (8) Sense of congress on prompt payment of dbe 
        subcontractors.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                    (A) the Secretary of Transportation should take

                section 26.29 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations 
                (the disadvantaged business enterprises prompt payment

                federally funded transportation contracts under laws 
                and regulations administered by the Secretary; and
                    (B) such additional steps should include increasing 
                the Department of Transportation's ability to track and 
                keep records of complaints and to make that information 
                publicly available.

                            (i) using available data, or collecting 
                        from motor carriers or motor private carriers 
                        and drivers operating under an exemption, 
                        waiver, or other allowance if the Secretary 
                        does not have sufficient data, to determine the 
                        incidence of accidents, fatigue-related 
                        incidents, and other relevant safety

                        carriers, motor private carriers, and drivers 
                        that are subject to the hours of service rules 
                        and not operating under an exemption, waiver, 
                        or other allowance; and
                            (iii) based on the comparison under 
                        subparagraph (B), determining whether waivers, 
                        exemptions, and other allowances in effect 
                        provide an equivalent level of safety as would 
                        exist in the absence of exemptions, waivers, or 
                        other allowances.

                other conditions affecting the movement of goods by 
                commercial motor vehicle, and how such conditions 
                interact with the Secretary's regulations on hours of 
                service;
                    (B) whether exemptions, waivers, or other 
                allowances that permit additional on-duty time or 
                driving time have a deleterious effect on the physical 
                condition of drivers; and
                    (C) whether differences in the manner in which 
                drivers are compensated result in different levels of

        paragraph (1), the Secretary shall take into consideration 
        whether automated vehicles can safely operate within the 
        surface transportation system, including--
                    (A) the degree to which ordinary human behaviors 
                make it difficult for an automated vehicle to safely, 
                reliably predict human actions;
                    (B) unique challenges for automated vehicles in 
                urban and rural areas;
                    (C) the degree to which an automated vehicle is 
                capable of uniformly recognizing and responding to 
                individuals with disabilities and individuals of 
                different sizes, ages, races, and other varying 
                characteristics;
                    (D) for bicyclist and pedestrian road users--
                            (i) the varying and non-standardized nature 
                        of bicyclist and pedestrian infrastructure in 
                        different locations;
                            (ii) the close proximity to motor vehicles 
                        within which bicyclists often operate, 
                        including riding in unprotected bike lanes and 
                        crossing lanes to make a left turn, and the 
                        risk of such close proximity; and
                            (iii) roadways that lack marked bicyclist 
                        infrastructure, particularly in midsized and 
                        rural areas, on which bicyclists often operate; 
                        and
                    (E) depending on the level of automation of the 
                vehicle, the degree to which human intervention remains 
                necessary to safely operate an automated vehicle to 
                ensure the safety of general road users in 
                circumstances including--
                            (i) dangerous weather;
                            (ii) an electronic or system malfunction of 
                        the automated vehicle; and
                            (iii) a cybersecurity threat to the 
                        operation of the vehicle.

SEC. 9514. FATIGUE REDUCTION PILOT PROJECTS.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) maintaining the highest level of safety across the 
        nation's railroad network is of critical importance;
            (2) ensuring the safety of rail transportation requires the 
        full attention of all workers engaged in safety-critical 
        functions;
            (3) fatigue degrades an individual's ability to stay awake, 
        alert, and attentive to the demands of safe job performance;
            (4) the cognitive impairments to railroad workers that 
        result from fatigue can cause dangerous situations that put 
        workers and communities at risk;
            (5) the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 mandated that 
        the Federal Railroad Administration conduct two pilot projects 
        to analyze specific practices that may be used to reduce 
        fatigue in employees and as of the date of enactment of this 
        Act, neither pilot project has commenced; and
            (6) the Federal Railroad Administration should coordinate 
        with the industry and the workforce to commence and complete 
        the fatigue pilot projects mandated in 2008.
    (b) Pilot Projects.--Section 21109(e) of title 49, United States 
Code, is amended--
            (1) by striking ``Not later than 2 years after the date of 
        enactment of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008'' and 
        inserting ``Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment 
        of the TRAIN Act''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following:
            ``(3) Coordination.--The pilot projects required under 
        subparagraph (1) shall be developed and evaluated in 
        coordination with the labor organization representing the class 
        or craft of employees impacted by the pilot projects.''.
    (c) Reimbursement.--The Secretary of Transportation may reimburse 
railroads participating in the pilot projects under 21109(e) of title 
49, United States Code, a share of the costs associated with the pilot 
projects, as determined by the Secretary.
    (d) Report.--
            (1) In general.--If the pilot projects required under 
        section 21109(e) of title 49, United States Code, have not 
        commenced on the date that is 1 year after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall, not later than 1 
        year and 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
        transmit to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure 
        of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, 
        Science, and Transportation of the Senate a report describing--
                    (A) the status of the pilot projects;
                    (B) actions the Federal Railroad Administration has 
                taken to commence the pilot projects, including efforts 
                to recruit participant railroads;
                    (C) any challenges impacting the commencement of 
                the pilot projects; and
                    (D) any other details associated with the 
                development of the pilot projects that affect the 
                progress toward meeting the mandate of such section.
