Abstract of Proposed Collection 

To meet OMB and Congressional 

reporting requirements, this request for 

a new information collection clearance 

will allow ECA/P/V, as part of the 

Gender Assessment Evaluation, to 

conduct surveys of exchange 

participants in the Fortune, ILEP, IRG, 

and American Fellows programs 

between the years of 2003 and 2010. 

Collecting this data will help ECA/P/V 

assess and measure the similar and 

different impacts the programs had on 

men and women participants. 

Methodology 

Evaluation data will be collected via 

Survey Gizmo, an on-line surveying 

tool. It is anticipated that a very limited 

number of participants may receive a 

hard copy of the surveys. 

Dated: November 4, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. DOT’s Civil Rights Program 

DOT, through assigned civil rights 

personnel in each DOT component 

(chiefly, the Departmental Office of 

Civil Rights (DOCR) within OST), is 

responsible for ensuring that DOT does 

not discriminate against its employees 

or applicants for employment 

(‘‘internal’’); enforcing civil rights laws 

prohibiting discrimination and 

retaliation by DOT Federally-assisted 

and Federally-conducted programs and 

activities against members of the public; 

and investigating and responding to 

complaints filed by DOT employees 

pursuant to sections 504 and 508 of the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended 

(together, these three activities comprise 

DOT’s ‘‘external’’ civil rights 

programmatic responsibilities). DOT’s 

enforcement activities with respect to 

this program include: 

D Documenting, investigating, and 

responding to ‘‘internal’’ and ‘‘external’’ 

civil rights complaints and inquiries; 

D Conducting reviews of DOT 

Federally-funded recipients to assess 

their compliance with civil rights laws; 

and 

D Adjudicating and issuing written 

decisions in administrative appeals filed 

with DOT/DOCR by small businesses 

(including sole proprietorships) that 

have been denied certification as a 

‘‘disadvantaged business enterprise’’ 

(DBE) or airport concessions DBE 

(ACDBE) by a DOT Federally-assisted 

recipient pursuant to 49 CFR Parts 23 

and 26. 

II. The Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) 

governs the means by which the Federal 

Government collects, maintains, and 

uses personally identifiable information 

(PII) in a System of Records. A ‘‘System 

of Records’’ is a group of any records 

under the control of a Federal agency 

from which information about 

individuals is retrieved by name or 

other personal identifier. The Privacy 

Act requires each agency to publish in 

the Federal Register a System of 

Records notice (SORN) identifying and 

describing each System of Records the 

agency maintains, including the 

purposes for which the agency uses PII 

in the system, the routine uses for 

which the agency discloses such 

information outside the agency, and 

how individuals to whom a Privacy Act 

record pertains can exercise their rights 

under the Privacy Act (e.g., to determine 

if the system contains information about 

them and to contest inaccurate 

information). 

Under the Privacy Act, an agency is 

permitted to exempt certain types of 

systems from certain requirements of 

the Privacy Act, after completing a 

formal rulemaking process to revise the 

agency’s Privacy Act regulations to add 

the system to the agency’s list of exempt 

systems. The XCRS system is eligible for 

exemption because it will contain law 

enforcement investigatory material. On 

[date], DOT published a Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the 

Federal Register, proposing exemptions 

for this system. The NPRM can be 

accessed through http:// 

www.regulations.gov, Docket Number 

DOT–OST–2011–0202. Comments on 

the proposed exemptions must be 

submitted to the docket for that 

rulemaking, by any of the methods 

outlined in the NPRM. Comments on 

other parts of the SORN must be 

submitted in writing, by any of the 

methods outlined in this Notice. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), a 

report on the establishment of this 

System of Records has been sent to 

Congress and to the Office of 

Management and Budget. 

System Number: DOT/ALL–24 

SYSTEM NAME: 

Departmental Office of Civil Rights 

System. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Unclassified, sensitive. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

Records are maintained by the DOT 

Departmental Office of Civil Rights, and 

DOT component civil rights offices. The 

electronic records systems are 

maintained on a server that is physically 

located at a contractor facility in 

Sterling, Virginia. The server is hosted 

and maintained by Micropact 

Engineering, Inc., headquartered in 

Herndon, Virginia. The system owner is

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM OF RECORDS: 

Members of the public (including 

DOT employees filing complaints 

pursuant to sections 504 and 508 of the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended) 

who have submitted inquiries, 

complaints, or appeals to DOT, alleging 

discrimination by DOT or by third 

parties pertaining to DOT Federallyassisted or DOT Federally-conducted 

programs or activities; individuals who 

are the subjects of external civil rights 

inquiries, complaints and appeals; and 

witnesses who are interviewed 

concerning same. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Records of civil rights discrimination 

inquiries, complaints, and appeals 

received by DOT from members of the 

public, DOT employees, small 

businesses or representatives of these 

groups; records compiled during the 

investigation of the complaints and 

appeals; and records of responsive 

actions taken by DOT, including 

complaint information, statements, 

exhibits, reports and correspondence; 

records concerning applications for 

certification as a disadvantaged business 

enterprise, including business name, 

contact information, and name of 

business owners. The records may 

contain the following personally 

identifiable information (PII): 

D Personal contact information for 

individual complainants, complaint 

subjects, DBE appellants, and/or 

witnesses who are involved in 

particular discrimination claims, such 

as name, home address, email address, 

and home telephone number; 

D Identification information and 

descriptive details about individual 

complainants, such as the last four 

digits of the complainant’s Social 

Security Number, date of birth, race, 

color, national origin, sex, religion, age 

(40 or over), disability, sexual 

orientation, parental status, and/or 

genetic information; and 

D Financial information pertaining to 

individual owners of small businesses 

that have been denied ‘‘disadvantaged 

business enterprise’’ (DBE) certification. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq., § 12101 et 

seq., 42 U.S.C. 6101 et seq.; 29 U.S.C. 

794, 749d; 49 U.S.C. 47113; and 

Executive Order 13160. 

PURPOSE(S): 

DOT Civil Rights personnel use the 

contact information, identification 

information, and descriptive details to 

document, investigate, and respond to 

civil rights complaints, inquiries, and 

DBE appeals, and to conduct reviews of 

Federally-funded recipients to assess 

their compliance with civil rights laws. 

In DBE appeal cases, DOT/DOCR staff 

use financial information when 

necessary to make personal net worth 

determinations about sole proprietors 

claiming DBE status. DOT may utilize 

contractors to assist with certain tasks; 

for example, contractors may help 

DOCR analyze financial information for 

personal net worth determinations in 

DBE appeal cases.
