Efficieny, Quality and Effectiveness of Existing Civil Rights 
Programs; Roundtable Discussions

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of public meetings; change in meeting date and notice of 
additional meeting dates.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA announced on May 3, 1996 (61 FR 19973), a series of 
roundtable conferences to obtain information on issues relating to the 
efficiency, quality, and effectiveness of existing civil rights 
programs. The meeting date for the first meeting (Portland, Oregon) has 
been changed from May 22 to May 28. Other information regarding 
location and contact person remains the same. Two roundtable 
discussions on June 25 and July 17, 1996, have been added at the 
locations indicated below.
    The agenda for the roundtable discussions includes the topics of 
state internal and contractor equal employment opportunity (EEO) 
programs, supportive services, and the administration of specific 
nondiscrimination statutes. Although the meetings will be open to the 
public, space will be limited; therefore, the FHWA requests that 
persons interested in attending the meeting preregister by contacting 
the ``contact person'' listed below for the appropriate meeting at 
least three days prior to the meeting. The Disadvantaged Business 
Enterprise (DBE) Program will not be discussed at these Roundtables. 
The DBE program is currently being addressed by a separate interagency 
workgroup.
