        <RULE_TITLE>Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program; Inflationary Adjustment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would adjust the statutorily-mandated gross receipts cap on DBE firm size in the Federally-assisted contracts DBE program, as required under SAFETEA-LU.  The adjustment is made to keep up with inflation every year.  This rulemaking would also adjust for inflation the size limits for DBE concession firms in the airport concessions DBE program.  The annual update for the gross receipts cap and the size limits maintain the status quo in terms of real dollars.]]></ABSTRACT>
