1excessively costly to obtain minority-owned or women-owned
2businesses to perform sufficient work to fulfill the
3commitment required by this subsection, the Authority shall
4reduce or waive the commitment in the contract, as may be
5appropriate. The Authority shall establish rules and
6regulations setting forth the standards to be used in
7determining whether or not a reduction or waiver is
8appropriate. The terms "minority-owned business" and
