§ 23.67 - Special provision for transit vehicle manufacturers.

(a) Each UMTA recipient shall require that each transit vehicle manufacturer, as a condition of being authorized to bid on transit vehicle procurements in which UMTA funds participate, certify that it has complied with the requirements of this section. This requirement shall go into effect on October 1, 1983.

(b) Each manufacturer shall establish and submit for the UMTA Administrator's approval an annual percentage overall goal. The base from which the goal is calculated shall be the amount of UMTA financial assistance participating in transit vehicle contracts to be performed by the manufacturer during the fiscal year in question. Funds attributable to work performed outside the United States and its territories, possessions, and commonwealths shall be excluded from this base. The requirements and procedures of § 23.64 (d) and (e)(1) and §§ 23.65—23.66 of this subpart shall apply to transit vehicle manufacturers as they apply to recipients.

(c) The manufacturer may make the certification called for in paragraph (a) if it has submitted the goal required by paragraph (b) and the UMTA Administrator has either approved it or not disapproved it.
