(h) To qualify as an ACDBE, the firm must meet the definition set forth below and the applicable small business size standard, defined in terms of the firm's average annual gross receipts for the preceding three (3) fiscal years. The applicable size standard for ACDBE rental car concessionaires is $69.97 million, which means the ACDBEs average annual gross receipts for the last three years (including gross receipts of all affiliates) cannot exceed $69.97 million. However, the applicable small business size standard for ACDBE firms providing goods and services to rental car concessionaires is $52.47 million. The applicable size standard for ACDBE automobile dealerships is 350 employees. The receipts or number of employees of affiliate companies are included in determining size. In general, business concerns are affiliates of each other when either directly or indirectly (1) one concern controls or has the power to control the other, or (2) a third party (or parties) has the power to control both. Consideration is given to such factors as common ownership, common management, contractual relationships and overlapping Airports Authority. An ACDBE, as defined by 49 CFR Part 23, is a business concern that meets the applicable small business size standard, which is: a) at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, or in the case of any publicly owned business, at least 51% of the stock is owned by one or more socially and economically disadvantaged individuals; and (b) whose management and daily business operations are controlled by one or more of the socially and economically disadvantaged individuals who own it "Socially and economically disadvantaged individuals" include:
(1) Women;
(2) Black Americans, which includes a person having origins any of the Black racial groups of Africa;
(3) Hispanic Americans, which includes persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central, or South American, or other Spanish or Portuguese culture or origin, regardless of race;
(4) Native Americans, which includes persons who are American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts, and Native Hawaiians;
(5) Asian-Pacific Americans, which includes persons whose origins are from Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia (Kampuchea), the Philippines, Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands (Republic of Palau), Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Macao, Hong Kong, Fiji, Tonga, Kiribati, Tuvalu, or Nauru; and
(6) Asian-Indian Americans, which includes persons whose origins, are from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the Maldives Islands, or Nepal. The Airports Authority generally will assume that business owners who fall into one of these groups are socially and economically disadvantaged. Their disadvantaged status will not be investigated, unless a third-party challenge is made or the Airports Authority has reason to suspect that the owner(s) may not be disadvantaged. Other individuals may be found to be socially and economically disadvantaged on a case-by-case basis. If such individual requests that his or her firm be certified as ACDBE, the Airports Authority, as part of the certification process, will determine whether the individual is socially and economically disadvantaged under the criteria of 49 CFR Part 23 and 26. These owners must demonstrate that their disadvantaged status arose from individual circumstances, rather than by virtue of membership in a group.
(i) If, during the term of this Contract, the U.S. Department of Transportation alters the regulations governing ACDBE participation in rental car contracts, the Airports Authority will negotiate with Contractor and the other on-airport rental car concessionaires concerning changes necessary to conform the Contract to the amended ACDBE regulation.

(h) To qualify as an ACDBE, the firm must meet the definition set forth below and the applicable small business size standard, defined in terms of the firm's average annual gross receipts for the preceding three (3) fiscal years. The applicable size standard for ACDBE rental car concessionaires is $69.97 million, which means the ACDBEs average annual gross receipts for the last three years (including gross receipts of all affiliates) cannot exceed $69.97 million. However, the applicable small business size standard for ACDBE firms providing goods and services to rental car concessionaires is $52.47 million. The receipts of affiliate companies are included in determining size. In general, business concerns are affiliates of each other when either directly or indirectly (1) one concern controls or has the power to control the other, or (2) a third party (or parties) has the power to control both. Consideration is given to such factors as common ownership, common management, contractual relationships and overlapping authority. An ACDBE, as defined by 49 CFR Part 23, is a business concern that meets the applicable small business size standard, which is: a) at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, or in the case of any publicly owned business, at least 51% of the stock is owned by one or more socially and economically disadvantaged individuals; and (b) whose management and daily business operations are controlled by one or more of the socially and economically disadvantaged individuals who own it "Socially and economically disadvantaged individuals" include:
(1) Women;
(2) Black Americans, which includes a person having origins any of the Black racial groups of Africa;
(3) Hispanic Americans, which includes persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central, or South American, or other Spanish or Portuguese culture or origin, regardless of race;
(4) Native Americans, which includes persons who are American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts, and Native Hawaiians;
(5) Asian-Pacific Americans, which includes persons whose origins are from Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia (Kampuchea), the Philippines, Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands (Republic of Palau), Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Macao, Hong Kong, Fiji, Tonga, Kiribati, Tuvalu, or Nauru; and
(6) Asian-Indian Americans, which includes persons whose origins, are from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the Maldives Islands, or Nepal. The Authority generally will assume that business owners who fall into one of these groups are socially and economically disadvantaged. Their disadvantaged status will not be investigated, unless a third-party challenge is made or the Authority has reason to suspect that the owner(s) may not be disadvantaged. Other individuals may be found to be socially and economically disadvantaged on a case-by-case basis. For example, a disabled Vietnam veteran, an Appalachian white male or another person may claim to be disadvantaged. If such individual requests that his or her firm be certified as ACDBE, the Authority, as part of the certification process, will determine whether the individual is socially and economically disadvantaged under the criteria of 49 CFR Part 23 and 26. These owners must demonstrate that their disadvantaged status arose from individual circumstances, rather than by virtue of membership in a group.
(i) If, during the term of this Contract, the U.S. Department of Transportation alters the regulations governing ACDBE participation in rental car contracts, the Authority will negotiate with Contractor and the other on-airport rental car concessionaires concerning changes necessary to conform the Contract to the amended ACDBE regulation.

Efforts that are merely pro forma are not good faith efforts to meet the goal. Efforts to obtain ACDBE participation are considered pro forma, even if they are sincerely motivated, if, given all relevant circumstances, they could not reasonably be expected to produce a level of ACDBE participation to meet the ACDBE goal. For example, advertising or bulk mailings, alone or together are considered pro forma unless followed up with telephone calls and/or correspondence consistent with normal business practice.
