    (a) Each grantee which is not described in Sec. 152.407(a) and is 

not subject to an affirmative action plan, regulatory goals and 

timetables, or other mechanism providing for short and long-range goals

152.409(b)(3), as follows:

    (1) If it has 15 or more employees in its aviation workforce or

in Sec. 152.409(b)(3), as appropriate; or

    (2) If it has less than 15 employees in its aviation workforce or 

employed for aviation purposes, by taking the affirmative action steps 

in Sec. 152.409(b)(3) (i) and (ii), as appropriate.

    (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, each 

sponsor shall require each of its aviation related activities on its 

airport, that is not subject to an affirmative action plan, regulatory 

goals and timetables, or other mechanism which provides short and long-

range goals for equal employment opportunity, to take affirmative action 

steps and cause them to similarly require affirmative action steps of 

their covered suborganizations, as follows:

    (1) Each aviation related activity or covered suborganization with 

less than 50 but more than 14 employees, must take the affirmative 

action steps enumerated in Sec. 152.409(b)(3), as appropriate.

    (c) Each sponsor shall require each construction contractor, that 

has a contract of $10,000 or more on its airport and that is not subject 

to an affirmative action plan, regulatory goals or timetables, or other 

mechanism which provides short and long-range goals for equal employment 

opportunity, to take the following affirmative action steps:

    (1) The contractor must establish and maintain a current list of 

minority and female recruitment sources; provide written notification to 

these recruitment sources and to community organizations when employment 

opportunities are available; and maintain a record of each 

organization's response.

and telephone numbers of each minority and female walk-in applicant and 

each referral from a union, a recruitment source, or community 

organization and the action taken with respect to each individual. Where 

an individual is sent to the union hiring hall for referral, but not 

referred back to the contractor, or, if referred, not employed by the 

contractor, this shall be documented. The documentation shall include an 

explanation of, and information on, any additional actions that the 

contractor may have taken.

    (3) The contractor must disseminate its equal employment opportunity 

policy internally--

agreements;

    (iii) By publicizing it in the company newspaper, report, or other 

publication; and

    (iv) By specific review of the policy with all management personnel 

and with all employees at least once a year.

    (4) The contractor must disseminate the contractors's equal 

employment opportunity policy externally--

    (i) By stating it in each employment advertisement in the news 

media, including news media with high minority and female readership; 

and

    (ii) By providing written notification to, or participating in 

discussions with, other contractors and subcontractors with whom the 

contractor does business.

    (5) The contractor must direct its recruitment efforts to minority 

and female organizations, to schools with minority and female students, 

and to organizations which recruit and train minorities and women, in 

the contractor's recruitment area.

    (6) The contractor must encourage present minority and female 

employees to recruit other minorities and women.

    (7) The contractor must, where possible, provide after school, 

summer, and vacation employment to minority and female youth.

    (d) Each sponsor shall require each of its prime construction 

contractors on its airport, with a contract of $10,000 or more, to 

require each of the contractor's subcontractors on the airport to comply 

with the affirmative action steps in paragraph (c) of this section, with 

which it does not already comply, unless the subcontractor is subject to 

an affirmative action plan, regulatory goals or timetables, or other 

mechanism which provides short and long-range goals for equal employment 

opportunity, or the subcontract is less than $10,000.
