46754 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 158 / Thursday, August 19, 2021 / Notices 

In January 2021, President Biden 

renewed the Federal government’s 

commitment to civil rights and directed 

Federal agencies to address all forms of 

discrimination. The Executive Order on 

Advancing Racial Equity and Support 

for Underserved Communities Through 

the Federal Government (E.O. 13985) 

requires Federal agencies to recognize 

and work to redress inequities in their 

policies and programs, assess whether 

the agency’s programs and policies 

perpetuate systemic barriers to 

opportunities and benefits for people of 

color and other underserved groups, and 

assess whether new policies, 

regulations, or guidance documents may 

be necessary to advance equity in 

agency actions and programs. The 

Executive Order on Preventing and 

Combating Discrimination on the Basis 

of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation 

(E.O. 13988) requires Federal agencies 

to conduct a review of regulations, 

guidance, and other agency actions that 

prohibit sex discrimination and 

consider whether to revise, suspend, or 

rescind such actions or promulgate new 

actions, to ensure that laws that prevent 

discrimination on the basis of gender 

identity or sexual orientation are fully 

implemented and enforced. Also, the 

Presidential Memorandum Condemning 

and Combating Racism, Xenophobia, 

and Intolerance against Asian 

Americans and Pacific Islanders 

(January 29 Memorandum) requires 

Federal agencies to take steps to ensure 

that official actions, documents, and 

statements pertaining to the COVID–19 

pandemic do not exhibit or contribute to 

racism, xenophobia, and intolerance 

against members of Asian American and 

Pacific Islander communities. 

The Department has established the 

Anti-Discrimination Subcommittee 

under the ACPAC to review airlines’ 

policies, procedures, and practices to 

prevent discrimination against air 

travelers on the basis of race, national 

origin, religion, ancestry and gender, 

gender identity, and sexual orientation. 

The Department will select the 

following entities and diverse persons to 

serve on the Anti-Discrimination 

Subcommittee: Persons of diverse 

backgrounds in race, ethnicity, religion 

and gender; lesbian, gay, bisexual, 

transgender, queer (LGBTQ+) persons; 

national organizations that represent 

diverse racial, ethnic, and religious 

communities; national organizations 

that represent LGBTQ+ communities, 

airlines, airport operators, contract 

service providers, and ticket agents. The 

Anti-Discrimination Subcommittee is 

tasked with providing recommendations 

to the ACPAC on best practices related 

to civil rights training and other 

practices or actions that can be taken by 

DOT, airlines or others to ensure 

nondiscriminatory delivery of airlines’ 

programs and activities to air travelers 

in accordance with section 407 of the 

2018 FAA Act, Executive Orders 13985 

and 13988, and President Biden’s 

January 29 Memorandum. Meetings will 

be held in person in Washington, DC 

and/or through a publicly accessible 

virtual format. 

Selection of Members to AntiDiscrimination Subcommittee 

The Department will choose AntiDiscrimination Subcommittee members 

based on three main criteria: (1) 

Representativeness (does the applicant 

represent the airline industry, any group 

with members who have experienced 

discrimination on the basis of race, 

national origin, religion, ancestry, 

gender, gender identity, sexual 

orientation or an otherwise prohibited 

category under Federal law, or other 

interested parties such as airports or 

ticket agents?); (2) expertise (does the 

applicant bring essential knowledge, 

expertise and/or experience regarding 

aviation civil rights and the topic area(s) 

of interest that will enrich the 

discussion of the available options and 

their respective costs and benefits?); and 

(3) willingness to participate fully (is 

the applicant able and willing to attend 

meetings and generally contribute 

constructively to a rigorous policy 

development process?). The Department 

may select more than one representative 

for a group, if appropriate, to obtain 

balanced membership. 

Individuals applying for membership 

should keep in mind that AntiDiscrimination Subcommittee members 

will be selected based on their ability 

and willingness to effectively represent 

the interests of all stakeholders in their 

category, as distinct from their parochial 

or personal interests. For example, an 

individual selected to serve on the AntiDiscrimination Subcommittee as a 

representative of an airline would 

represent not only his or her own 

airline, but the interests of all airlines. 

As such, the individual would be 

expected to consult with other airlines 

in bringing issues to the table before the 

Anti-Discrimination Subcommittee. 

All interested individuals may selfapply or nominate any individual or 

organization to the Anti-Discrimination 

Subcommittee. To be considered, 

applicants/nominators should submit 

the following information: 

• Name, title, organization, and 

contact information (address, telephone 

number and email address) of nominee/ 

applicant; 

• Category of membership that the 

nominee/applicant is qualified to 

represent; 

• Resume of the applicant or short 

biography of the nominee including 

professional and academic credentials; 

• A statement of nomination on why 

the applicant wants to serve or the 

nominator is nominating the individual 

to serve, and the unique perspectives 

and experiences the nominee brings to 

the Committee; 

• An affirmative statement that the 

applicant/nominee meets the eligibility 

requirements; and 

• Optional letters of support. 

Please do not send company, trade 

association, organization brochures, or 

any other promotional information. 

Materials submitted should total five 

pages or less. Should more information 

be needed, Department staff will contact 

the applicant/nominee, obtain 

information from the applicant’s/ 

nominee’s past affiliations, or obtain 

information from publicly available 

sources. All application/nomination 

materials should be submitted 

electronically via email at ACACP@

dot.gov on or before September 20, 

2021. Any person needing accessibility 

accommodations with preparing and/or 

submitting nominations should contact 

Maegan Johnson, Senior Trial Attorney, 

U.S. Department of Transportation, by 

email at maegan.johnson@dot.gov, or by 

telephone at 202–366–9342. 

Persons selected for appointment to 

the Anti-Discrimination Subcommittee 

will be notified by return email and by 

a letter of appointment. Members of the 

Anti-Discrimination Subcommittee are 

responsible for their own travel and per 

diem expenses.
