Does this part permit recipients to use local geographic preferences?

No. As a recipient you must not use a local geographic preference. For purposes of this section, a local geographic preference is any requirement that gives a concessionaire located in one place ( e.g., your local area) an advantage over concessionaires from other places in obtaining business as, or with, a concession at your airport.
