Through its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on Geographic-Based Hiring Preferences, the Department of Transportation proposes to amend its regulations in 2 CFR Part 1201 implementing the Government-wide Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards to permit recipients and subrecipients to impose geographic-based hiring preferences whenever not otherwise prohibited by Federal statute.
The Department's Pilot Program on Contract Provisions will permit, on an experimental basis, FHWA and FTA recipients and subrecipients to utilize various contracting requirements that generally have been disallowed due to concerns about adverse impacts on competition.
