[Docket OST-97-2550]
RIN 2105-AD51

 
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document adjusts the dollar limits and size limits used 
to define small businesses for the Department of Transportation's 
Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) program. 
The Department of Transportation amends these size limits in order to 
ensure that the opportunity of small businesses to participate in the 
ACDBE program remains unchanged after taking inflation into account. 
This document, as required by statute, also adjusts the dollar limits 
used to define small businesses for the Department of Transportation's 
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program, which applies to State 
and local highway, transit, and airport recipients of DOT financial 
assistance. This document also corrects a reference error in a previous 
final rule. Finally, this document makes minor changes to the language 
of a previous rule in order to accurately explain the role of 
administrative guidance material.
