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.
DATES: This rule is effective May 2,
2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 22, 2005, the Department
published a final rule revising 49 CFR
Part 23—the regulation governing the
airport concessions disadvantaged
business enterprise (ACDBE) program.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:27 Mar 30, 2007
Jkt 211001
On the same day, the Department
published a supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) on the
business size standards for eligibility in
the ACDBE program as well as on two
other matters concerning
implementation of the program. This
final rule addresses the issues raised in
the SNPRM and the comments made in
response to the SNPRM.
The DBE Airport Concessions and
Contracting Programs
The DOT-assisted contracts DBE rule
and airport concessions DBE rule are
based on different statutes. Each statute
applies to a distinct type of business
that may seek DOT financial assistance.
The ACDBE program is designed to give
business opportunities to certain small
business concerns that operate at
airports and that are owned and
controlled by socially and economically
disadvantaged individuals. The ACDBE
program is mandated by 49 U.S.C.
47107(e), originally enacted in 1987 and
amended in 1992.
The DBE program for DOT-assisted
contracts is a statutory program
intended to ensure nondiscriminatory
contracting opportunities for small
business concerns owned and
controlled by socially and economically
disadvantaged individuals in the
Department’s highway, mass transit and
airport financial assistance programs.
The statutory provision governing the
DBE program in the highway and mass
transit financial assistance programs is
1101(b) of the Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity
Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU),
Public Law 109–59, August 10, 2005.
The statutory provision governing the
DBE program as it relates to the airport
planning and airport development
financial assistance programs is 49
U.S.C. 47113.
ACDBE Gross Receipts Size Standards
The ACDBE program is designed to
help small business concerns, owned
and controlled by socially and
economically disadvantaged
individuals, become self-sufficient and
able to compete with non-disadvantaged
firms. Under the current DOT rule, if the
airport concessions firm’s annual gross
receipts averaged over the preceding
three fiscal years exceed $30 million,
then it is not considered a small
business eligible to be certified as an
ACDBE. The Department notes that the
existing size standards have not been
adjusted for inflation since June 1, 1992.
This final rule adjusts the size standards
for eligibility as an ACDBE.
A number of comments submitted to
the Department supported adjusting the
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
gross receipts size limit for inflation.
One comment suggested that the
Department consider distinct size
standards for each type of concession. A
number of comments also suggested that
an employee based size standard is
inappropriate because businesses may
operate using different business model
configurations with different numbers of
employees. These comments also point
out that verifying the number of
employees is more complex than
verifying gross receipts, which are
recorded in tax returns.
This final rule adjusts the general
ACDBE gross receipts cap for inflation.
This rule only applies an employee
based size standard if the business
operates pay telephones or if the
business is an automobile dealer. The
Department views a general gross
receipts size limit that is adjusted for
inflation as the most efficient and fair
way to establish size limits for the
ACDBE program. The adjustment
compensates for the rise in the general
level of prices over time from the
second quarter of 1992 to the third
quarter of 2006. In order to ensure that
this adjustment is made on a more
timely basis in the future, the rule
provides for a similar adjustment every
two years, using the same methods. At
two year intervals, the Department will
publish a final rule to update the size
standard numbers.
It should be emphasized that this
action does not increase the size
standard for ACDBEs in real dollar
terms. It simply maintains the status
quo, adjusting to 2006 dollars. A
number of comments opposed the idea
of making Part 23 and Part 26 size
standards identical because the
capitalization requirements for airport
concessions are much higher. The
Department agrees and will not
harmonize the standards.
In order to make an inflation
adjustment to the gross receipts figures,
the Department of Transportation uses a
Department of Commerce price index.
The Department of Commerce’s Bureau
of Economic Analysis prepares constant
dollar estimates of state and local
government purchases of goods and
services by deflating current dollar
estimates by suitable price indexes.
These indices include purchases of
durable and non-durable goods, and
other services. Using these price
deflators enables the Department to
adjust dollar figures for past years’
inflation. Given the nature of the
Department’s DBE Program and ACDBE
Program, adjusting the gross receipts
cap in the same manner in which
inflation adjustments are made to the
costs of state and local government
