DBE Rule Changes
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise: Program Implementation Modifications
The Office of the Secretary (DOT) has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) (77 FR 54952, September 6, 2012). The NPRM proposes three categories of changes to improve implementation of the Department of Transportation’s disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) rule. First, the NPRM proposes revisions to personal net worth, application, and reporting forms. Second, the NPRM proposes modifications to certification-related provisions of the rule. Third, the NPRM would modify several other provisions of the rule, concerning such subjects as good faith efforts, transit vehicle manufacturers and counting of trucking companies.
Comments on this proposed rule must be received by December 24, 2012.
