Tribal Organizations Sample Clauses

Tribal Organizations. The MRCC recognizes that a firm owned by an Indian tribe, Alaska Native Corporation, or Native Hawaiian organization as an entity, rather than by Indians, Alaska Natives, or Native Hawaiians as individuals, may be eligible for certification as long as such firm meets the size standards and is controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. DBE Certification Procedures In accordance with 49 CFR 26.83, the MRCC will ensure that only firms certified as eligible DBEs participate in the DBE Program. The MRCC will determine the eligibility of firms as DBEs consistent with the standards of 49 CFR Part 26, Subparts D and E. Applicants are evaluated on the basis of documentation in existence at the time of application. Any changes in ownership and control after a determination of certification by the Certifying Partner will not be considered. These changes include, but are not limited to, execution of new agreements, board or shareholders' resolutions, memoranda of understanding, consolidation, liquidation, reorganization, merger, election of new officers or directors, appointment of new principals or key personnel or the purchase or sale of shares or issuance of new shares. The MRCC Certifying Partner will require potential DBEs to complete and submit an appropriate application form. The Certifying Partner will assure that the applicant attests to the accuracy and truthfulness of the information on the application form. This will be done either in the form of an affidavit sworn to by the applicant before a person authorized by state law to administer oaths, or in the form of an unsworn declaration executed under penalty of perjury of the laws of the United States. The Certifying Partner will review all information on the form prior to making a decision about the DBE eligibility of the firm. Pursuant to 49 CFR 26.83(m), except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, if an applicant for DBE certification withdraws its application before the Certifying Partner has issued a decision on the application, the applicant firm can resubmit the application at any time. Should the applicant firm choose to resubmit its application to the MRCC, it must resubmit its application to the same Certifying Partner (Agency of Record) that initially obtained the firm’s records to review for certification eligibility. The Certifying Partner may not apply the twelve (12) month waiting period provided under 49 CFR
