The United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) mandates, under 49 CFR Part 26.81 (Subpart E), that all state recipients of U.S. DOT funding establish a Unified Certification Program (UCP). The UCP's purpose is to streamline the certification process for businesses seeking to join the U.S. DOT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program by creating a one-stop certification procedure within each state. This regulation applies to U.S. DOT agencies like the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 

The Alaska Unified Certification Program (AUCP) has been formed by agreement among all U.S. DOT funding recipients. The AUCP is managed by the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (Alaska DOT&PF). This program allows a business to apply once for DBE certification through the Alaska DOT&PF, which is then recognized by all other federal recipients in the state. The AUCP is responsible for all certification and non-discrimination duties as required by federal regulations. 

This is a regulatory meeting held once a year for the AUCP Members.
