PART 944—PRIORITIES DIVISION REGULATIONS
Priorities Regulation No. 1
Establishing provisions and definitions
applicable to the operation of
the Priorities System

OFFICE OF PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT -
DIVISION OF PRIORITIES
WASHINGTON, D. C.
PRIORITIES REGULATION NO. 1
On August 27, 1941, Priorities Regulation No. 1 was issued by
E. R. Stettinius, Jr., Director of the Division of Priorities, Office
of Production Management.
Priorities Regulation No. 1 is a basic document. Its terms are
to apply to all priorities orders and actions, except when otherwise
specified, and will also govern all industrial and commercial transac-
tions of every kind, even though the particular material involved hast
not been brought under other priority control.
Since the new Regulation lays down a general framework for
priorities compliance, future orders issued by the Division of Pri-
orities will, by citation, incorporate the terms of Priorities Regula-
tion No. 1, and will not repeat the full text of the Regulation's
provisions.
However, the specific provisions of any existing or future order
issued by Director of Priorities will control when in conflict with
the general provisions of Regulation No. 1. In the absence of such
a conflict, Regulation No. 1 will also be applicable to any priori-
ties order.
A full and complete copy of Regulation No. 1 follows. It is sug-
gested that all producers, manufacturers, distributors, and all others.
who are affected by the priorities system preserve this regulation
and refer to it whenever necessary to be sure that they are comply-
ing with priorities procedure.

PRIORITIES REGULATION NO. 1
The following Regulation is issued by the Director of Priorities to
promote the defense of the United States and for the purpose of im-
proving and facilitating the operation of the Priorities System.
944.1 Definitions. (a) "Person" means any individual, partner-
ship, association, corporation, or other form of enterprise.
(b) "Defense Order" means:
(1) Any contract or order for material or equipment to be deliv-
ered to, or for the account of:
(i) The Army or Navy of the United States, the United States
Maritime Commission, the Panama Canal, the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, the Coast Guard, the Civil Aeronautics Authority, the
National Advisory Commission for Aeronautics, the Office of
Scientific Research and Development;
(ii) The government of any of the following countries: The
United Kingdom, Canada, and other Dominions, Crown Colonies
and Protectorates of the British Empire, Belgium, China, Greece,
The Kingdom of the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, and
Yugoslavia.
(2) Any contract or order placed by any agency of the United States
Government for material or equipment to be delivered to, or for the
account of, the government of any country listed above, or any other
country, including those in the Western Hemisphere, pursuant to the
Act of March 11, 1941, entitled "An Act to Promote the Defense of
the United States," (Lend-Lease Act).
(3) Any other contract or order to which the Director of Priorities.
assigns a preference rating of A-10 or higher.
(4) Any contract or order for material or equipment required by
the Person placing the same to fulfill his contracts or orders on hand,
provided such material or equipment is to be physically incorporated
in material or equipment to be delivered under contracts or orders in-
cluded under (1), (2), or (3) above.
(c) "Material" means any commodity, equipment, accessories, parts,
assemblies, or products of any kind.
944.2 Acceptance of Defense Orders.-Defense Orders for any
Material, whether or not accompanied by a Preference Rating Certifi-
cate, must be accepted and fulfilled in preference to any other con-
tracts or purchase orders for such Material, subject to the following
provisions:
(a) Defense Orders must be accepted even if acceptance will render
impossible, or result in deferment of-
(1) Deliveries under non-defense orders previously accepted, or
(2) Deliveries under Defense Orders previously accepted bearing
lower preference ratings, unless rejection is specifically permitted by
the Director of Priorities;
(b) Defense Orders need not be accepted
(3)
4
(1) If delivery on schedule thereunder would be impossible by rea-
son of the requirements of Defense Orders previously accepted bearing
higher or equal preference ratings, unless acceptance is specifically
directed by the Director of Priorities;
(2) If the Person seeking to place the Defense Order is unwilling
or unable to meet regularly established prices and terms of sale or
payment, but there shall be no discrimination against Defense Orders
in establishing such prices or terms;
(3) If the Material ordered is not of the kind usually produced
or capable of being produced by the Person to whom the Defense
Order is offered;
(4) If such Defense Orders specify deliveries within fifteen days,
and if compliance with such delivery dates would require the termi-
nation before completion of a specific production schedule already
commenced.
944.3 Rejected Orders.-When a Defense Order for any Material
has been rejected in violation of this Regulation, the Person seeking
to place such Order may file with the Division of Priorities a verified
report in form to be prescribed, setting forth the facts in connection
with the alleged rejection. When the facts set forth justify such
action, the Director of Priorities will thereupon direct the Person
against whom complaint is made to submit a sworn statement setting
forth the circumstances concerning the alleged rejection. There-
after, such action will be taken by the Director of Priorities as he
deems appropriate.
944.4 Assignment of Preference Ratings.-Preference ratings
may be assigned to contracts, purchase orders or deliveries by means
of Preference Rating Certificates issued by authority of the Director
of Priorities, or by regulations or Orders issued by the Director of
Priorities assigning ratings to particular deliveries or to specified
classes of deliveries. Such ratings may be assigned to deliveries.
under accepted contracts or purchase orders, and also, in the case
of Defense Orders, to purchase orders which have not been placed
or accepted at the time the rating is applied for. The Director of
Priorities may also issue specific directions as to particular deliveries,
without assigning ratings thereto.
*
* A-10; BB, B-1, B-2, etc., *
*
944.5 Sequence of Preference Ratings.-Preference Ratings, in
order of precedence, are: AA, A-1-a, A-1-b, etc., * *
A-1-j ;
A-2, A-3, etc.,
** B-8, AA
being the highest rating presently assigned.
944.6 Doubtful Cases.-Whenever there is doubt as to the prefer-
ence rating applicable to any delivery, or as to whether a particular
order is a Defense Order, the matter is to be referred to the Division
of Priorities for determination, with a statement of all pertinent
facts.
944.7 Sequence of Deliveries.-(a) Every delivery under a De-
fense Order shall be made in preference to deliveries under all other
contracts or orders whenever, and to the extent, necessary to fulfill
the delivery schedule provided in the Preference Rating Certificate
covering such delivery, or in the contract or purchase order if no
Certificate has been issued. Deliveries bearing no preference rating
or lower preference ratings shall be deferred to the extent necessary
to assure those deliveries bearing higher preference ratings, even
5
though such deferment may cause defaults under other contracts
or purchase orders. Each Person who has Defense Orders on
hand must so schedule his production and deliveries that deliveries.
under Defense Orders will be made on the dates required, giving
precedence, in case of unavoidable delay, to deliveries bearing the
higher preference ratings.
(b) The sequence of deliveries bearing the same preference rating
shall be determined by the delivery dates specified in their respec-
tive Preference Rating Certificates, or if the ratings were assigned
by Order or direction of the Director of Priorities, but no Cer-
tificates were issued, then by the dates specified in the contracts
or purchase orders. In any case where both preference ratings and
delivery dates are the same, and it is impossible to make all de-
liveries on schedule, the matter is to be referred to the Division of
Priorities for instructions as to sequence.
944.8 Delivery Schedules.-No earlier delivery date shall be
specified in any Defense Order than required by the production or
delivery schedules of the Person placing the Defense Order. No
preference rating will be assigned to any contract or purchase order
specifying delivery dates earlier than required by the production or
delivery schedules of the Person placing the contract or purchase
order.
944.9 Deferred Deliveries.-When deliveries under Defense
Orders have been unreasonably or improperly deferred, the Person
entitled to delivery may file with the Division of Priorities a verified
report in form to be prescribed, setting forth the facts in connection
with the alleged deferment. When the facts set forth justify such
action, the Director of Priorities will thereupon direct the Person
against whom complaint is made to submit a sworn statement, setting
forth the circumstances concerning the alleged deferment of deliv-
eries. Thereafter, such action will be taken by the Director of Priori-
ties as he deems appropriate.
944.10 Allocations. When specific allocations of a Material are
made by the Director of Priorities, such allocations may, in the
discretion of the Director, be made without regard to any preference.
ratings which have been assigned to deliveries under particular con-
tracts or purchase orders.
944.11 Use of Material Obtained Under Allocation or Prefer-
ence Rating. Any Person who obtains a delivery of any Material
under an Order or specific direction of the Director of Priorities, or
a delivery of Material bearing a preference rating, must use such.
Material, or an equivalent amount thereof, for the purpose specified
in connection with the issuance of the Order, direction or rating.
944.12 Intra-Company Deliveries. When any Order of the Di-
rector of Priorities prohibits or restricts deliveries of any Material
by any Person, such prohibition or restriction shall, in the absence of
a contrary direction, apply not only to deliveries to other Persons,
including affiliates and subsidiaries, but also to deliveries from one
branch, division or section of a single enterprise to another branch,
division or section of the same or any other enterprise owned or
controlled by the same Person.
944.13 Effect of Order; Damages.-When any Order of the Di-
rector of Priorities prohibits or restricts deliveries of any Material,
6
such prohibition or restriction shall, in the absence of a contrary
direction, apply to all deliveries made after the effective date of the
Order, including deliveries under contracts or purchase orders ac-
cepted either prior or subsequent to the effective date of the Order.
No Person shall be held liable for damages or penalties for any
default under any contract or purchase order which shall result
directly or indirectly from his compliance with any rule, regulation,
or Order issued by the Director of Priorities.
944.14 Inventory Restriction.-Unless specifically authorized by
the Director of Priorities, no Person shall, after the effective date of
this Regulation, knowingly make delivery of any Material whatever,
and no Person shall accept delivery thereof, in an amount, quantity
or number which will increase for any current month the inventory
of such Material of the Person accepting delivery, in the same or
other forms, in excess of the amount, quantity or number necessary to
meet required deliveries of the products of the Person accepting
delivery, on the basis of his current method and rate of operation.
This provision shall not prohibit or restrict:
(a) Deliveries for direct export out of the United States, provided
that such exports shall have been licensed by the Administrator of
Export Control;
(b) Deliveries of imported Material to any Person importing the
same, either directly or through an agent.
944.15 Records. All Persons affected by any Order of the Di-
rector of Priorities shall keep and preserve for a period of not less than
two years accurate and complete records of their inventories of the
Material covered by such Order, and of the details of all transactions
in the Material covered by such Order. Such records shall include the
dates of all contracts or purchase orders accepted, the delivery dates
specified in such contracts or purchase orders, and in any Preference
Rating Certificates accompanying them, the dates of actual deliveries
thereunder, description of the Material covered by such contracts or
purchase orders, description of deliveries by classes, types, quantities,
weights and values, the parties involved in each transaction, the prefer-
ence ratings, if any, assigned to deliveries under such contracts or pur-
chase orders, details of all Defense Orders either accepted or offered
and rejected, and other pertinent information.
944.16 Audit and Inspection. All records required to be kept
by this Regulation or by any Order of the Director of Priorities shall,
upon request, be submitted to audit and inspection by duly authorized
representatives of the Office of Production Management.
944.17 Reports.-All Persons affected by any Order of the Direc-
tor of Priorities shall execute and file with the Office of Production
Management such reports and questionnaires as said Office shall from
time to time request. No reports or questionnaires are to be filed by
any Person until forms therefor are prescribed by the Office of Produc-
tion Management.
944.18 False Statements.-Any Person who wilfully falsifies any
records which he is required to keep by the Director of Priorities, or
who otherwise wilfully furnishes false information to the Director of
Priorities or to the Office of Production Management, and any Person
who obtains a delivery, an allocation of Material or a preference rating
by means of a material and wilful misstatement, may be prohibited by
7
the Director of Priorities from making or obtaining further deliveries
of Material under allocation and may be deprived of further priorities
assistance. The Director of Priorities may also take any other action
deemed appropriate, including the making of a recommendation for
prosecution under section 35A of the Criminal Code (18 U. S. C. 80).
944.19 Appeal.-Any Person affected by any Regulation or Order
of the Director of Priorities who considers that compliance therewith
would work an exceptional and unreasonable hardship upon him, may
appeal to the Division of Priorities by addressing a letter to the Divi-
sion of Priorities, Office of Production Management, Social Security
Building, Washington, D. C., setting forth the pertinent facts and the
reasons such Person considers that he is entitled to relief. The Direc-
tor of Priorities may thereupon take such action as he deems appro-
priate.
944.20 Notification of Customers.-Any Person who is prohibited
from, or restricted in, making deliveries of any Material by the provi-
sions of any Order of the Director of Priorities shall, as soon as prac-
ticable, notify each of his regular customers of the requirements of
such Order, but the failure to give such notice shall not excuse any
customer from the obligation of complying with the terms of such
Order.
944.21 Effect of Regulation; Ratification of Prior Acts.-This
regulation shall take effect at once, and shall hereafter regulate and
govern all matters embraced herein, except where inconsistent with the
specific provisions of any existing or future Order or direction of the
Director of Priorities. All existing Orders, directions, and actions of
the Director of Priorities are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall
remain in full force and effect until they expire by their terms or are
specifically revoked or amended.
Issued August 27, 1941, effective immediately.

[Priorities Regulation 1, Interpretation 1 of § 944.7 as Amended
June 26, 1942]
The following interpretation is hereby issued with respect to para-
graph (b) of § 944.7, as amended June 26, 1942,¹ of Priorities
Regulation No. 1.
The provisions of § 944.7 (b) of Priorities Regulation No. 1, as
amended, with respect to the sequence of deliveries bearing the same
preference rating, are applicable only in cases where different deliv-
eries bearing the same preference rating cannot be made on schedule.
If material supply and available facilities permit deliveries bearing
the same rating to be made on schedule, Regulation No. 1 does not
have any particular effect on the sequence of production for such
deliveries. Where it is necessary to choose between deliveries bear-
ing the same preference ratings, deliveries to the customers who first
applied or extended the rating are to be preferred and, subject to the
exceptions indicated in paragraphs (c) and (d) of § 944.7, production
schedules must be adjusted accordingly.
For example, suppose one customer places in January an order
rated A-1-a for August delivery and a second customer places in June
an order bearing the same rating for July delivery. If both deliveries
cannot be made on schedule, the second customer is not permitted to
get the material away from the first customer, as he could under the
regulation before the recent amendment. The producer must defer
production on the second order to the extent necessary to make de-
livery on the first order on the August delivery date. If, on the other
hand, both deliveries can be made on schedule, it is not necessary to
produce or make delivery on the first customer's order ahead of that
of the second.

tainable from another Person by whom it is usually sold;"
(e) Section 944.2 (b) (5) is amended to read as follows:
“(5) if delivery on schedule thereunder would require interruption
or change of a production schedule in a manner inconsistent with the
provisions of section 944.7 (d) of this Regulation.'
(f) Section 944.4a is amended by deleting the third sentence thereof
and by inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"After such revocation or expiration, said rating shall not be applied
by any Person to whom such Order directly assigned the rating, but
may still be extended (notwithstanding the provisions of any order

whose deliveries are rated by such Order to the extent that they
could do so if such Order were still in full effect."
(g) Section 944.5 is amended to read as follows:

(h) Section 944.7 (b) and (c) are amended to read as follows:
"(b) The sequence of deliveries bearing the same preference rating
shall be determined by the respective dates on which the preference
ratings are applied or extended to the deliveries, the delivery to
which the preference rating was first applied or extended in point
of time having precedence over other deliveries. If the same prefer-
ence rating is applied or extended on the same day to two or more
deliveries, and it is impossible to make all deliveries on schedule, the
sequence of deliveries shall be determined by the delivery dates

such preference ratings were assigned, or if the ratings were assigned
by rule, regulation, or order but no certificates were issued, then by
the dates specified in the contracts or purchase orders.
"(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section
944.7, Material specifically produced for an order bearing a rating
higher than A-2 may not be diverted and delivered under a higher
rated order subsequently accepted if such Material is completed at
the time of the acceptance of the higher rated order or is scheduled
for completion within fifteen days thereafter, unless such diversion
is specifically directed by the Director of Industry Operations, or
unless the subsequently accepted order bears a rating of AAA.”
3
(i) Section 944.7 is further amended by adding at the end thereof
an additional paragraph (d) as follows:
"(d) Nothwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section
944.7, no Person who receives any rated order shall be required by
reason of such order to terminate or interrupt a production schedule
within fifteen days after receiving such order; and, if such Person
is operating on a monthly or longer fixed production schedule and it is
impracticable for him to terminate or interrupt such schedule before
its completion, he may postpone any change therein which may be
required by the rated order he has received until the commencement
of his next production period, but not in any event for more than
forty days after the receipt of the rated order unless otherwise
permitted by the Director of Industry Operations."
(j) Section 944.13 is amended by deleting the second sentence
thereof and by inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"No Person shall be held liable for damages or penalties for any
default under any contract or order which shall result directly or
indirectly from compliance with any rule, regulation, or order of the
War Production Board, notwithstanding that any such rule, regula-
tion, or order shall thereafter be declared by judicial or other com-
petent authority to be invalid.”
(k) Section 944.15 is amended by adding thereto a third sentence
to read as follows:
"Records kept by any Person pursuant to this section shall be
kept either separately from the other records of such Person and

WASHINGTON, D. C.
PRIORITIES REGULATION NO. 3
The following regulation is issued by the Director of Priorities to
promote the defense of the United States and for the purpose of im-
proving and facilitating the operation of the Priorities System.
944.23 Priorities Regulation No. 3.-(a) Adoption of Revised
Forms of Preference Rating Certificates.-On and after February 2,
1942, preference ratings to be assigned by Preference Rating Certifi-
cates may be assigned, and on and after March 1, 1942, shall be as-
signed, in the manner and subject to the provisions hereinafter set
forth, by revised forms of preference rating certificates hereby desig-
nated as Preference Rating Certificate PD-1A and Preference Rating
Certificate PD-3A, copies of which are hereto attached and made a
part hereof, and hereby adopted in place of the Preference Rating
Certificates Forms PD-1, PD-2, PD-3, PD-4, and PD-5; Provided,
That all Preference Rating Certificates Forms PD-1, PD-2, PD-3,
PD-4, and PD-5 duly issued prior to March 1, 1942, are valid and
shall continue valid in effect until termination or expiration by the
terms thereof or by the circumstances or conditions of their applica-
tion, or until hereafter canceled, modified, changed, or amended by the
Director of Priorities.
(b) Categories of Use of Prescribed Preference Rating Certifi-
cates. (1) Preference Rating Certificate PD-3A shall be used to
assign preference ratings, where appropriate, to deliveries under
contracts or purchase orders of the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Mari-
time Commission, Coast and Geodetic Survey, Panama Canal,
National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics, Civil Aeronautics
Authority, Office of Scientific Research and Development, Procure-
ment Division of the Department of the Treasury and Surplus Mar-
keting Administration of the Department of Agriculture; contracts
or purchase orders of foreign governments; and such other contracts
or purchase orders as may be prescribed from time to time.
(2) Preference Rating Certificate PD-1A shall be used to assign,
where appropriate, preference ratings to deliveries under all other
contracts and purchase orders.
(c) Extension of Preference Ratings to Deliveries under Contracts
and Purchase Orders and Subcontracts and Suborders.—(1) Prefer-
ence ratings assigned by Preference Rating Certificates PD-1A and
PD-3A may be extended to deliveries under contracts and purchase
orders and subcontracts and suborders by endorsing on the purchase
order or other equivalent document furnished to the supplier or sub-
supplier a certification in the form prescribed by the appropriate
certificate, filled in and manually signed by an official of the pur-
chasing company duly authorized for such purpose.
(2) In cases where Preference Rating Certificates PD-3A issue
under letters of intent and therefore no contract number can be in-
2
1
serted in the space provided in the Certification form, reference to a
footnote addition shall be inserted and in such footnote the supply
arm or bureau of the Army or Navy or other Government agency
issuing the letter of intent and the date of such letter, together with
any identification symbol on such letter, shall be stated.
(3) A Supplier or Subsupplier who has received two or more con-
tracts or purchase orders bearing ratings of the same grade originally
assigned by Preference Rating Certificates PD-1A and PD-3A, may
include in a single contract or purchase order, and (within the limi-
tations of (e) hereof) may extend such rating to, any or all of the
material which he in turn requires to make delivery in accordance.
with such contracts or purchase orders or to replace in inventory
material so delivered, but must specify in the certification endorsed
on such single purchase order or equivalent document all of the
Preference Rating Certificate Form Numbers and corresponding
Serial Numbers of the ratings which have been so received by him and
pursuant to which he is extending the rating. All spaces must be filled
in where applicable.
(d) False Statements.-The execution and transmission of the Cer-
tification above set forth to a Supplier or Subsupplier shall be deemed
a representation to the Office of Production Management for the pur-
pose of section 35 (A) of the Criminal Code (18 U. S. C. 80), which
makes it a criminal offense to make a false statement or representation
to any Department or Agency of the United States as to any matter
within its jurisdiction.
(e) Restrictions on extension of ratings assigned by a preference
rating certificate PD-1A or PD-3A.—(1) A Supplier or Subsupplier
may extend the preference rating only to:
(i) deliveries of material which will be physically incorporated
into material to be ultimately delivered by him or by another
Supplier to the original recipient of the preference rating, or to
deliveries of material which will itself be ultimately delivered
by him or by another Supplier to the original recipient of the
preference rating, or which will be used, within the limitations of
paragraphs (e) (1), (2), and (3) hereof, to replace in inventory
material so delivered;
(ii) material which is neither greater in quantity nor to be
delivered on dates earlier than required to make on schedule a
rated delivery or, within the limitations of (2) and (3) below, to
replace in inventory material so delivered. Material shall not be
deemed to be so required if the rated delivery may be made and a
practicable working minimum inventory thereof still retained;
and if, in making such delivery, the inventory is reduced below

ALLOCATION CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM.
I. Purpose.
PURPOSE AND GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of the Allocation Classification is:
(1) To obtain standardization and reduce the rules of different
forms for allocation purposes that industry now must submit to
the War Production Board.
(2) To furnish information needed by the War Production
Board in the allocation of materials.
To allocate intelligently, it is necessary to know the subdivision of the
war, industrial, and civilian programs for which materials are going
to be used. For example, it is essential to know whether the materials
are going to tanks, or destroyers, or railroads, or to office machinery
and supplies in order to determine allocation policy. In addition, it
is necessary to know in a general way what type of purchasers will
eventually receive particular products of industry, i. e., whether the
products will eventually be delivered to the Army, Navy, etc.
Accordingly, a dual classification system has been provided con-
sisting of Allocation Classification Symbols (in the form of numbers),
which will designate the particular kind of product for which mate-
rial ordered will be used and Purchasers' Symbols (in the form of
letters) to indicate the general type of purchasers to which delivery
will be made.
Neither the allocation classification symbols nor the purchasers'
symbol are intended to indicate order of importance, but are merely
designed to provide a convenient means
(1) of identification of the subdivisions of the program for
which the products or materials ordered are destined
(2) of identification of the type of ultimate purchaser of the
product; and
(3) of transmitting such identification on down through indus-
try to the original suppliers of the material.
Retail purchases and purchases by retailers, will not transmit an
allocation or purchaser's symbol on their orders. Since the retailer
does not place an allocation or purchaser's symbol on its orders, the
manufacturer, wholesaler, or distributor receiving these orders will
place the Purchaser's symbol DP, on these orders. Industrial and
mill suppliers, warehouses, and businesses performing similar func-
tions for industry are not deemed retailers.

II. Allocation Classification Number System.
A. General Description.-Each business is assigned to a numbered
Class with certain exceptions discussed in paragraph (2) below, and
most Classes are, in turn, divided into subclasses indicated by a deci-
mal number.
In general terms every purchase order is to carry its allocation classi-
fication symbol.
There are two principal kinds of situations to distinguish in select-
ing the proper classification:
(1) The business of the purchaser may fall directly into one or
more of the Allocation Classifications. In this case the business
simply places on its purchase order the symbol representing the
business for which the purchase order is placed.
For example, the manufacturer of tanks places the symbol 3.10
on all its purchase orders. The truck manufacturer uses 10.20.
The railroad uses 10.10.
(2) The business of the purchaser does not fall directly into
any of the classifications. In this case, the purchaser has no sym-
bol to identify its own business but simply transmits the symbol
it receives on the purchase orders which its customers have placed
with it.
For example, the manufacturer of electric motors receiving an
order from a railroad bearing the symbol 10.10 places the same
symbol 10.10, on its purchase order.
Mixed cases are covered below.
Once a business has determined in which situation it finds itself,
it should then place the proper symbol or symbols on every purchase
order which is issued.
B. Procedure for Use of Classifications.-
(1) Each business should first determine whether or not its op-
erations fall directly into one or more of the allocation classifica-
tions listed or whether it should use the Allocation Classification
symbols that are on the orders which it receives from its customers.
To determine this, each business should consult the Specific In-
structions and the detailed Classified or Alphabetical Lists. These
should furnish the necessary information to enable each business
to classify its operations properly.
(2) Each business directly falling in any class should consult
the "Specific Instructions" covering its classification for any
specific instructions that may apply to that classification alone.
(3) Where the operations of a business fall directly into one or
more Allocation Classifications-
a. Any business whose operations fall directly into one
Allocation Classification should place its classification sym-
bols on all purchase orders that it issues regardless of what
they are for. For example, a railroad ordering metal-working
machinery would classify the order under Railroad (10.10)
despite the fact that metal-working machinery is a separate
classification.
b. Any business whose operations fall directly into two
or more Allocation Classifications should transmit the sym-
3
>
bol or each classification to the extent that it can trace the
particular purchase to the proper classification under its
established methods of bookkeeping or inventory control.
Where this is not practicable, it should place on its pur-
chase orders the percentage division between its sales for
the latest available month. For example, a company en-
gaged in the manufacture of household furniture and office
furniture and maintaining a single inventory should place
on its orders 16.00, 60 percent, 19.00, 40 percent.
(4) In the case of a business manufacturing parts or sub-
assemblies, such as electric motors, air compressors, ball bear-
ings, etc., which do not fall directly within any of the listed
classifications-
a. Where an item can be traced directly to one Allocation
Classification, the business should transmit the classifica-
tion symbol for that item on its purchase order. For ex-
ample, if a storage battery company orders materials to be
used in the manufacture of storage batteries for automo-
biles, the symbol for automobiles (10.20) should be placed
on the purchase order.
b. Where an item or items cannot be traced directly to one
Allocation Classification, the business should transmit on the
purchase order for that item or items the percentage division
between Allocation Classifications based on the dollar volume
of its sales for that item or items using the latest available
month as the base period. The following principles should
be followed in doing this-
1. Where the business falling under any one alloca-
tion subclass comprises 5 percent or more of the total
business, that symbol and its percentage is transmitted
on the purchase order.
2. Where the business falling under any one alloca-
tion subclass is less than 5 percent of the total dollar
volume and can be grouped with other subclasses fall-
ing under one main allocation class, it should be so
grouped. For example, a percentage division might be:
Classification 5.10, Ammunition, 20 mm. and above, 3
percent; Classification 5.20, Ammunition, small arms
below 20 mm., 4 percent. Since both 5.10 and 5.20 are
subclasses of the Class 5.00, the two should be combined
under the main class and reported as: 5.00, 7 percent.
3. After combining the subclasses under any one
class, if the class still totals less than 5 percent, this
portion of the business should be prorated over the
classifications which are 5 percent or more.
c. It is important that the item or items which can be traced
directly to one Allocation Classification and which transmit
a single numerical symbol should be excluded in making an
analysis of sales for the item or items which cannot be traced
directly to any one Allocation Classification.
4
III. Purchasers' Symbols.
In addition to the information required in respect to Allocation
Classification symbols, the War Production Board will still have
need of the information which is already being furnished as to
whether the orders are placed by the Army, the Navy, etc. This will
be continued and slightly extended. A series of letter symbols has
been adopted to indicate the purchaser.
Purchaser:
The Army.
The Navy (includes Maritime Commission)
Lend-Lease.
Other foreign purchasers.
Domestic purchasers--
Symbol
USA
USN
LL
FP
DP
When orders bearing these symbols are received by a business, the
business must pass them on to its suppliers even though the allo-
cation number may be changed.
The appropriate purchaser's symbol should in each case precede
the numerical allocation symbol placed on purchase orders so that
the Allocation Classification will be broken down by Army, Navy,
Lend-Lease, etc. The same instructions for transmission in per-
centages, etc., apply to these symbols as to the allocation symbols.
IV. Application to Existing Orders.
It is essential that classification symbols and purchasers' symbols should be
applied not only to all orders to be placed in the future but also to existing orders
that have already been placed for delivery after July 31, 1942. To do this, it is
the responsibility:
(1) Of each business that falls directly into one or more Allocation Classi-
fications to review the orders that it has already placed and advise each of
its suppliers as to what classification symbols and purchasers' symbols should
be applied.
(2) Of each business that does not fall directly into one of these classifica-
tions (i. e., manufacturers of parts or subassemblies), to transmit to all its
suppliers with whom purchase orders have been placed the classification
symbols and purchasers' symbols that it receives from its customers.
(3) of the Army and Navy procurement officers and of the Maritime Com-
mission to advise their prime contractors as to what purchasers' symbols
should be applied to the purchase orders that these services have already
placed with them.
If any business is in doubt as to how it should classify its operations and
transmit the classification symbols or purchasers' symbols to its suppliers, it should
communicate with the War Production Board at the nearest field office or in
Washington, D. C.

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
Classes 1.00 Through 7.00 Military.
The responsibility for placing the proper allocation symbols for
the military classifications rests with the Army, Navy, and Maritime
Commission officers who will also indicate, on all new orders, whether
the order is for the Army or Navy and Maritime Commission.
Class 8.00 Raw Materials, Production and Preliminary Process-
ing of.
This Allocation Classification is to be used by industries engaged in
the production and preliminary processing of raw materials. The pro-
duction and preliminary processing of raw material is defined here
as the operations required to convert them from the state in which
they are found in nature to the condition in which they are described
in Materials List No. 1, attached to War Production Board Form
PD-25 A. For example, all the steps necessary for turning standing
timber into accepted shapes and sizes of lumber would fall into this
category. The steps to fabricate the lumber into other wood products
would not be included.
In the case of agricultural products, the steps to be included in this
class start after the product has been harvested and continue until it is
ready for industrial use, for example, the processing of cotton only
through the ginning.
These symbols should be placed on all orders for supplies, equip-
ment, machinery, and facilities necessary for the production and pre-
liminary processing of raw materials, but should not be placed on
464903°-42-2
7
orders for materials which are processed or are incorporated in the
finished raw materials. All orders for materials which enter into the
production of or become a part of the finished raw material will bear
the symbol transmitted by the customer's orders. For example, a steel
mill producing rails for a railroad company will transmit the railroad's
symbol of 10.10 on all orders for iron ingots, coke, and alloy metals.
Orders for office machinery, metal working machinery, and other op-
erating equipment and supplies will carry the symbol of the steel mill
(8.10).
Where a company processes raw materials only as an incident to its
main production, it should not classify its order with any of the num-
bers in this classification, but should use only the number that applies
to its main operation.
Construction of new buildings, and building maintenance and repair
should not be included in this classification. (See Classes 21.00 and
22.00.)
8.10 All metals, production (including mining), smelting and
preliminary processing of. This allocation symbol should be placed
on purchase orders for supplies equipment, machinery, and facilities
issued by companies conducting such operations as—
Aluminum plants.
Brass mills.
Copper refineries.
Smelters.

All types of metal mining.
Etc.
8.20 All chemicals, production and preliminary processing of.
This allocation symbol should be placed on purchase orders for sup-
plies, equipment, machinery, and facilities issued by companies pro-
ducing and processing chemicals up to the point that they are ready
for industrial use.
Chlorine.
Alcohol.
Sulphur.
Lacquer.
Paint.
Plastics.
Synthetic rubber.
Varnishes.
Etc.
8.90 All other raw materials, production and preliminary
processing of (exclusive of petroleum, coal and coke, see Classes
9.20 and 9.30). This allocation symbol should be placed on purchase
orders for supplies, equipment, machinery, and facilities issued by com-
panies conducting such operations as—

Class 22.00 Operating Supplies and Building Repair and Main-
tenance.
NOTE. This classification is intended primarily for manufacturers of articles
and supplies usually designated as "operating supplies."
This classification is provided for manufacturers of operating sup-
plies and building repair and maintenance supplies. Operating sup-
14
plies are defined here as those supplies which are consumed in the
manufacture of a product or are necessary for maintaining the manu-
facturing process, but are not physically incorporated into or not a
component part of the finished product. These operating supplies
include such items as small tools, cordage and twine, electric light
bulbs, grease pumps and guns, etc.
This symbol will be transmitted by the manufacturer of operating
supplies. Manufacturers falling under other classifications will not
use this classification but will place on their orders for operating sup-
plies their own allocation symbol. For example, a manufacturer of
automobiles who orders screw drivers will use classification 10.20 on
his orders. The company which manufactures the screw drivers will
transmit the Symbol 22.00 on his orders.
Building repair and maintenance includes the manufacturers of
such products as plumbing and heating supplies, electrical wiring,
ornamental grill work, door and window sash, etc., which are not
identifiable as going into new construction. In other words, orders
for the above supplies not coming under classes 21.10, 21.20, or 21.90
will be listed as Class 22.00.
Any item listed in other classifications as, for example, working
gloves, Class 15.00, wearing apparel, or repair parts for items listed
in other classifications, as, for example, repair parts for autos and
trucks, should not be included in this classification.
Class 23.00 All Other Uses.
NOTE. This does not include finished products listed in other classes.
Manufacturers who do not directly fall into any other classifications
as set forth above or whose products, such as subassemblies, are not
incorporated into some other final product, should place this alloca-
tion symbol on all purchase orders that they issue.
It should not be used by manufacturers whose products can be classi-
fied as repair, maintenance, and operating supplies for any construc-
tion or manufacturing operation listed here or by manufacturers or
processors of subassemblies, semifinished products or parts that enter
into a finished product, or by manufacturers whose products are used
in the repair and maintenance of existing buildings. Construction of
new buildings and building maintenance and repair should not be
included in this classification. (See Classes 21.00 and 22.00.)
Examples of those who should use the allocation symbol are manu-
facturers of artists' materials, jewelry, clocks, watches, luggage, novel-
ties, etc.
•
Manufacturers of such things as bearings, motors, and subassemblies
should not use this allocation symbol but should transmit those
symbols which are transmitted to them on the orders received from
their customers.
CLASSIFIED LIST
This list is not intended to be complete but to be helpful to industry
as a guide in determining a company's allocation classification.
If no allocation classification can be found that applies to the opera-
tions of a particular business, that business will transmit to its sup-
pliers the allocation symbols received on its customers' orders.
The Military Allocation Classifications (1.00 to 7.00 inclusive) are
applied by the military agency concerned and no product or industry
list is necessary.

SUBCHAPTER B-DIVISION OF INDUSTRY OPERATIONS
PART 944-REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE
OPERATION OF THE PRIORITIES SYSTEM
Amendment No. 1 of
Priorities Regulation No. 3
Providing for the use of revised Preference
Rating Certificates and prescribing
the manner of application of
ratings assigned thereby

ત્
WAR PRODUCTION BOARD
DIVISION OF INDUSTRY OPERATIONS
WASHINGTON, D. C.
FOREWORD
Priorities Regulation No. 3 was first issued on January 12, 1942, by
James S. Knowlson, Acting Director of Priorities, Office of Production
Management.
A full and complete copy of Amendment No. 1 of Priorities Regula-
tion No. 3, issued February 25, 1942, is printed herewith. This Amend-
ment supersedes the issue dated January 12, 1942, and should hereafter
be used in its place. It is suggested that all producers, manufacturers,
distributors, and all others who are affected by the priorities system,
preserve this Regulation and refer to it whenever necessary, to be sure
that they are complying with its provisions.
Copies of the issue of January 12, 1942, wherever possible, should be
reclaimed under the Waste Paper Salvage Program.
The following are the major changes in Amendment No. 1 of Regu-
lation No. 3:
1. The effective date after which PD-1A and PD-3A Certificates must be used
has been changed to March 15, a delay necessitated by difficulties in printing.
2. The Selective Service System has been added to the list of agencies for which
PD-3A's will be issued.
3. An addition to paragraph (a) provides that after March 15 PD-3's, PD-4's,
and PD-5's must be extended in accordance with a procedure substantially
similar to that applicable to PD-3A Certificates.
4. The use of PD-3A Certificates for granting preference ratings to the Procure-
ment Division of the Treasury and the Surplus Marketing Division of Agriculture
has been confined to Lend-Lease contracts. This merely recognizes established
procedure.
5. An addition to paragraph (b) permits use of PD-1A Certificates to rate pur-
chases under Lend-Lease contracts or purchases of or for the account of foreign
governments.
6. Paragraph (c) (4) has been added amplifying provisions as to the means of
extending PD-3's, PD-4's, and PD-5's after March 15. The method is substantially
identical with that applicable to PD-3A Certificates.
7. Paragraph (e) (4) has been added, providing that any person receiving an
order bearing an AA rating who can fill it from inventory or goods in process may
extend only an A-1-a rating.
8. Paragraph (e) (5) has been added, providing that the extension of preference
ratings assigned by PD-3A Certificates may be subjected to such further provisions
as may be prescribed by Supply Arms or Bureaus of the Army or Navy provided
they obtain the approval of ANMB and the Director of Industry Operations.

DEPOSITED BY THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AMENDMENT NO. 1 OF PRIORITIES REGULATION NO. 3
Effective at once, Priorities Regulation No. 3 is hereby amended to
read as follows:
The following regulation is issued by the Director of Industry Oper-
ations to promote the defense of the United States and for the purpose
of improving and facilitating the operation of the Priorities System.
944.23 Priorities Regulation No. 3-(a) Adoption of Revised
Forms of Preference Rating Certificates.-On and after February
2, 1942, preference ratings to be assigned by Preference Rating Certifi-
cates may be assigned, and on and after March 15, 1942, shall be as-
signed, in the manner and subject to the provisions hereinafter set
forth, by revised forms of preference rating certificates hereby desig-
nated as Preference Rating Certificate PD-1A and Preference Rating
Certificate PD-3A, which are hereby adopted in place of the Prefer-
ence Rating Certificates Forms PD-1, PD-2, PD-3, PD-4, and PD-5;
Provided, That all Preference Rating Certificates Forms PD-1, PD-2,
PD-3, PD-4, and PD-5 duly issued prior to March 15, 1942, are valid
and shall continue valid and in effect until termination or expiration
by the terms thereof or by the circumstances or conditions of their
application, or until hereafter canceled, modified, changed, or amended
by the Director of Industry Operations, and any rating assigned by
Forms PD-3, PD-4, or PD-5 must on or after, but not before, March
15, 1942, be extended in accordance with the terms of (c) (4) hereof
and on or after said date, all the provisions of this Regulation applica-
ble to Preference Rating Certificates PD-3A and the ratings assigned
thereby, shall be equally applicable to said Forms and the ratings
assigned thereby.
(b) Categories of Use of Prescribed Preference Rating Certifi-
cates. (1) Preference Rating Certificate PD-3A shall be used to
assign preference ratings, where appropriate, to deliveries under con-
tracts or purchase orders of the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Maritime
Commission, Coast and Geodetic Survey, Panama Canal, National
Advisory Committee on Aeronautics, Civil Aeronautics Authority,
Office of Scientific Research and Development, Selective Service Sys-
tem; and may be used, where appropriate, to assign preference ratings
to deliveries under Lend-Lease contracts or purchase orders of the
Procurement Division of the Department of the Treasury and of the
Surplus Marketing Administration of the Department of Agriculture,
contracts or purchase orders of, or for the account of, foreign govern-
ments, and other contracts or purchase orders as may be prescribed
from time to time in Division Administrative Orders issued by the
Director of Industry Operations.
(2) Preference Rating Certificate PD-1A shall be used to assign,
where appropriate, preference ratings to deliveries under all other con-
tracts and purchase orders; including, where appropriate, Lend-Lease
contracts or purchase orders and contracts or purchase orders of, or for
the account of, foreign governments.
447245°-42

(c) Extension of Preference Ratings to Deliveries Under Con-
tracts and Purchase Orders and Subcontracts and Suborders.-
(1) Preference ratings assigned by Preference Rating Certificates
PD-1A and PD-3A may be extended to deliveries under contracts and
purchase orders and subcontracts and suborders by endorsing on the
purchase order or other equivalent document furnished to the Sup-
plier or Subsupplier a certification in the form prescribed by the
appropriate certificate, filled in and manually signed by an official of
the purchasing company duly authorized for such purpose.
(2) In cases where Preference Rating Certificates PD-3A issue
under letters of intent and therefore no contract number can be in-
serted in the space provided in the certification form, reference to a
footnote addition shall be inserted and in such footnote the Supply
Arm or Bureau of the Army or Navy or other government agency
issuing the letter of intent and the date of such letter, together with
any identification symbol on such letter, shall be stated.
(3) A Supplier or Subsupplier who has received two or more con-
tracts or purchase orders bearing ratings of the same grade originally
assigned by Preference Rating Certificates PD-1A and PD-3A, may
include in a single contract or purchase order, and (within the limita-
tions of (e) hereof) may extend such rating to, any or all of the mate-
rial which he in turn requires to make delivery in accordance with such
contracts or purchase orders or to replace in inventory material so
delivered, but must specify in the certification endorsed on such single
purchase order or equivalent document all of the Preference Rating
Certificate Form Numbers and corresponding Serial Numbers of the
ratings which have been so received by him and pursuant to which he
is extending the rating. All spaces must be filled in where applicable.
(4) Preference Ratings assigned by Preference Rating Certificates
Forms PD-3, PD-4, and PD-5 must, on or after, but not before,
March 15, 1942, be extended by endorsing on the purchase order or
other equivalent document furnished to the Supplier or Subsupplier a
certification in the form prescribed by Preference Rating Certificate
PD-3A provided that the following conditions are complied with:
(i) the rating at the time of its extension is assigned by a valid
Preference Rating Certificate Form PD-3, PD-4, or PD-5, which has
not terminated or expired by its terms or by the circumstances or con-
ditions of its application or has not been canceled, modified, changed,
or amended in such a way as to invalidate such extension;
(ii) the extension of the rating assigned by a Form PD-3, PD-4, or
PD-5 is made subject to all the restrictions and conditions applicable
to the extension of a rating assigned by a Preference Rating Certificate
PD-3A;
(iii) in the certification form prescribed by Preference Rating Cer-
tificate PD-3A the words "applied pursuant to Certificate PD-3A"
are eliminated and the words "is hereby applied pursuant to Certifi-
cate Form PD-3 (PD-4 or PD-5)" are substituted therefor.
(d) False Statements.-The execution and transmission of the
Certification above set forth to a Supplier or Subsupplier shall be
deemed a representation to the War Production Board for the pur-
pose of section 35 (A) of the Criminal Code (18 U. S. C. 80), which
makes it a criminal offense to make a false statement or representa-
tion to any Department or Agency of the United States as to any
matter within its jurisdiction.
2
(e) Restrictions on extension of ratings assigned by a prefer-
ence rating certificate PD-1A or PD-3A.-(1) A Supplier or Sub-
supplier may extend the preference rating only to-
(1) deliveries of material which will itself be ultimately delivered
by him or by another Supplier pursuant to the original preference
rating, or which will be physically incorporated into material to be
so delivered, or which will be used within the limitations of para-
graphs (e) (1), (2), (3), and (4) hereof to replace in inventory
material so delivered;
(ii) material which is neither greater in quantity nor to be de-
livered on dates earlier than required to make on schedule a rated
delivery or, within the limitations of (2) and (3) below, to replace
in inventory material so delivered. Material shall not be deemed to
be so required if the rated delivery may be made and a practicable
working minimum inventory thereof still retained; and if, in making
such delivery, the inventory is reduced below such minimum, the
rating may be extended only to the extent necessary to restore the
inventory to such minimum.
(2) A Supplier or Subsupplier who supplies material which he
has in whole or in part manufactured, processed, assembled, or other-
wise physically changed may not extend the rating to restore his in-
ventory to a practicable working minimum unless he extends the
rating before completing the rated delivery which reduces his in-
ventory below such minimum.
(3) A Supplier or Subsupplier who supplies material which he
has not in whole or in part manufactured, processed, assembled, or
otherwise physically changed may, in restoring his inventory to a
practicable working minimum, defer extensions of the rating orig-
inally assigned by a Preference Rating Certificate PD-1A or PD-3A
for such material until he can place a purchase order or contract for
the minimum quantity procurable on his customary terms: Provided,
That he shall not defer the extension of any rating for more than
three months after he becomes entitled to apply it.
(4) Any Supplier or Subsupplier who receives a contract or pur-
chase order bearing an AA preference rating and who can fill the
same out of inventory or goods in process may not extend the AA
rating, but may within the limitations of paragraphs (e) (1), (2),
and (3) hereof extend an A-1-a rating.
(5) The extension of preference ratings assigned by Preference
Rating Certificate PD-3A may be made subject to such additional
provisions and conditions as may from time to time be prescribed
by the appropriate Supply Arm or Bureau of the Army or Navy,
with the approval of the Army and Navy Munitions Board and of
the Director of Industry Operations.
(6) Any Supplier or Subsupplier who extends the preference rat-
ing shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Regu-
lation.
(f) Records, Audit and Inspection, and Reports.-Any person
who applies for or extends a preference rating or to whom a prefer-
ence rating certificate is issued, and any Supplier or Subsupplier
who receives a contract or purchase order bearing a rating, shall
maintain such records and shall be subject to such audit and inspec-
tion as are provided by Priorities Regulation No. 1 as the same may
3
be amended or supplemented from time to time; and shall make
such reports as may be required by the Director of Industry Opera-
tions from time to time hereafter.
(g) Violations. Any person who wilfully violates any provision
of this Regulation or of Preference Rating Certificates PD-1A or
PD-3A or who, by any act or omission, falsifies records to be kept
or information to be furnished pursuant to this Regulation, may be
prohibited from receiving further deliveries of any material subject
to allocation, and such further action may be taken as is deemed
appropriate, including a recommendation for prosecution under
section 35 (A) of the Criminal Code (18 U. S. C. 80).

PRIORITIES REGULATION NO. 3 AS AMENDED
JUNE 26, 1942
Establishing a uniform method of application and extension of
preference ratings
944.23, Priorities Regulation No. 3, is hereby amended to read as
follows:
944.23 Priorities Regulation No. 3-(a) Definitions.-For the
purposes of this Regulation: (1) "Person" means any individual, part-
nership, association, business trust, corporation, governmental cor-
poration or agency, or any organized group of persons, whether
incorporated or not.
(2) "Material" means any commodity, equipment, accessory, part,
assembly, or product of any kind.
(3) "Assignment" of a preference rating means the granting to any
person, by order or certificate issued by or under the authority of
the Director of Industry Operations, of the right to use such rating.
(4) "Application" of a preference rating means the use of the rating
by the person to whom it is initially assigned by or under the authority
of the Director of Industry Operations.
(5) "Extension" of a preference rating means the use of the rating
by any person to whom it is applied or extended by another person.
(b) General Provisions.-(1) Except to the extent otherwise pro-
vided in Priorities Regulation No. 11 (944.32) with respect to per-
sons required to qualify under the Production Requirements Plan,
any person may apply a preference rating assigned to him by any
preference rating certificate or preference rating order issued to him
in his name or as one of a class, and any person may extend any
rating which has been applied or extended to deliveries to be made
by him, subject to the provisions of this regulation.
(2) Preference ratings may be applied by the person to whom
they are assigned only to the specific quantities and kinds of material
authorized, or to the minimum required amounts of material when
no specific quantities are authorized. Ratings which have been ap-
plied or extended by others to deliveries to be made by a person may,
subject to the provisions of this Regulation, be extended by such
person in order to obtain not more than the same amount and kind
of material (except as specified in paragraph (c) (2) of this Regula-
tion) which he has delivered or is required to deliver pursuant to
such ratings.
(3) No person shall duplicate, in whole or in part, purchase orders
which he has placed with one or more suppliers for delivery of ma-
terial to which he has applied or extended a rating, in such manner
that the amount of the material ordered exceeds the amount to which
he is authorized to apply or extend the rating, even though he intends
to cancel or reduce his purchase orders to the authorized amount
prior to completion of delivery.
466705°-42

(c) Extension of Ratings. The following provisions shall be ap-
plicable to all extensions of preference ratings notwithstanding any
inconsistent provisions of the preference rating certificate or prefer-
ence rating order assigning the rating: (1) Except as permitted in
subparagraph (2) of this paragraph (c), no preference ratings may
be extended to the delivery of any material except-
(i) material which will itself be delivered by the person ex-
tending the rating on a delivery bearing the rating which is
being extended, or which will be physically incorporated into
material to be so delivered, or
(ii) material which is required to replace in inventory mate-
rial so delivered or incorporated. Material shall not be deemed to
be required if the delivery can be made and a practicable working
minimum inventory of such material still retained; and if, in
making delivery, the inventory is reduced below such minimum,
the rating may be extended to replace such material only to the ex-
tent necessary to restore the inventory to such minimum;
provided, however, that the material ordered for replacement
must be substantially the same as the material delivered or in-
corporated in the material delivered, subject only to minor varia-
tions in size, shape, or design, or substitutions of less scarce
materials, which, in any case, do not substantialy alter the pur-
pose for which the same is to be used.
(2) In addition, any person may extend a rating to deliveries of
operating supplies (including lubricants, catalysts, abrasives and
small perishable tools) which are actually required and will be con-
sumed by him in physically processing other material to the delivery
of which he has extended the same rating, except that
(i) the cost of the operating supplies to which he extends the
rating shall not exceed ten percent of the cost of the particular
materials to be processed therewith, and to which he extends the
same rating;
(ii) not more than 25 percent by value of the operating supplies
so rated in any calendar month shall be metals in any of the
forms listed on the Metals List attached to Priorities Regulation
No. 11 (944.32).
(iii) no person may extend such a rating to obtain operating
supplies if his receipts or withdrawals from inventory during
the most recent calendar quarter, or his anticipated receipts or
withdrawals from inventory during the current or the next suc-
ceeding calendar quarter, of metals in the forms listed on said
Metals List aggregate $5,000 or more in value.
(d) Method of Application or Extension.—(1) Any person author-
ized to apply or extend preference ratings may do so by endorsing
on, or attaching to, each contract or purchase order placed by him
to which the rating is to be applied or extended, a certification in
the following form signed manually or as provided in Priorities
Regulation No. 7 (944.27) by an official duly authorized for such
purpose:
2
CERTIFICATION
The undersigned purchaser hereby represents to the seller and to
the War Production Board that he is entitled to apply or extend the
preference ratings indicated opposite the items shown on this pur-
chase order, and that such application or extension is in accordance
with Priorities Regulation No. 3 as amended, with the terms of which
the undersigned is familiar.
By
(Name of purchaser)
(Signature and Title of Duly Authorized Officer)
(Address)
(Date)
The person receiving the certification and rating shall be entitled to
rely on such representation, unless he knows or has reason to believe.
it to be false. Each person applying or extending ratings must
maintain at his regular place of business all documents, including
purchase orders and preference rating orders and certificates, upon
which he relies as entitling him to apply or extend such ratings, segre-
gated and available for inspection by representatives of the War Pro-
duction Board, or filed in such manner that they can be readily
segregated and made available for such inspection.
(2) Such certification may be used in lieu of any other form of
certification required by the terms of any regulation, preference rat-
ing order, or preference rating certificate (including, without limi-
tation, the instructions accompanying Forms PD-1A, PD-3A, and
PD-25A) as a means of applying or extending a preference rating
and in lieu of furnishing any copy of any preference rating order
required thereby; except that the provisions of Priorities Regulation
No. 9 (§ 944.30) with respect to the method of applying (but not
extending) preference ratings covering certain types of exports
must be complied with when ratings are applied pursuant to that
Regulation.
(3) Notwithstanding the requirements of any applicable prefer-
ence rating order or certificate,
(i) Ratings of the same grade assigned by different preference
rating certificates or orders may be combined and extended to
a single delivery; ratings of different grades, whether assigned
by the same or different preference rating certificates or orders,
may be extended to deliveries under a single purchase order, but
the amount of each material to which a particular grade of rat-
ing is extended must be shown as a separate item and not merely
indicated as a percentage figure; provided, however, that to the
extent necessary to avoid production or delivery in quantities
smaller than the minimum commercially practicable, items to
which ratings of different grades might be extended may be
combined and the rating of the lowest grade extended to the
total delivery; and
(ii) a person may defer extending any rating for a period of
not more than three months after he becomes entitled to extend
the same.
(4) In addition to complying with the foregoing requirements of
this paragraph (d), any person applying or extending a preference
rating shall include on his purchase order or contract identification
3
symbols as required by Priorities Regulation No. 10 (944.31) and such
other information (except designation of the number or serial num-
ber of the preference rating certificate or preference rating order
assigning the rating) as may be required by the terms of any ap-
plicable order of the Director of Industry Operations and which the
person placing the purchase order is able to furnish.
(e) Applicability of Other Restrictions.-Except as expressly
otherwise provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Regulation,
the application or extension of any rating shall also be subject to any
applicable restrictions contained in any order of the Director of In-
dustry Operations assigning the preference rating in question or
regulating transactions in the material involved, including, without
limitation, restrictions as to the kind and amount of material to which
preference ratings may be applied or extended, requirements of coun-
tersignature or other written approval of particular transactions, and
restrictions on the use of material.
(f) Effect on Existing Certificates and Orders.-All existing forms.
of preference rating certificates issued by or under authority of the
Director of Priorities or the Director of Industry Operations are
continued in full force and effect, and additional certificates on such
forms may continue to be issued by the persons now or hereafter
authorized to issue the same until such authority is revoked or
amended, subject to the provisions of this and other Regulations of
the Director of Industry Operations. All certificates and all existing
orders of the Director of Priorities or the Director of Industry Oper-
ations are to be deemed amended by this Regulations only where and
to the extent that the provisions of this Regulations indicate that it
is to control.
Effective Date.-This Amendment shall take effect on July 1, 1942.
Issued this 26th day of June 1942.

(As Amended)

TITLE 32-NATIONAL DEFENSE
CHAPTER IX-WAR PRODUCTION BOARD
Subchapter B-Director General for Operations
PART 944-REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE OPERA-
TION OF THE PRIORITIES SYSTEM
[Interpretation 1 of priorities regulation 8]
The following official interpretation is hereby issued with respect to
Priorities Regulation No. 3, as amended (8 944.23):¹
1
(a) Extension of ratings by prime contractors. When a delivery to
be made directly to the Army, Navy, or other war agency by a prime
contractor has been rated on a PD-8A Preference Rating Certificate,
and the prime contractor uses such rating to obtain delivery of ma-
terial to him, such use of the rating is an "extension" rather than an
"application" of the rating within the meaning of Priorities Regu-
lation No. 8, as amended. The "assignment" and the "application" of
the rating are deemed to occur simultaneously upon issuance of the
PD-3A certificate.
It follows that, in such cases, the prime contractor comes within the
provisions of paragraph (c) of Regulation No. 3 which permits, within
certain limits, the extension of a rating for purposes of replacing ma-
terial in inventory or obtaining operating supplies for the processing
of materials to the delivery of which the rating is extended.
It should be noted, however, that under Priorities Regulation No.
11, persons subject to the Production Requirements Plan are not, in
general, permitted to extend any ratings, and that the foregoing in-
terpretation does not relieve from this restriction those prime con-
tractors who qualify or are required to qualify under the plan. It
should also be noted that subparagraph (2) of paragraph (c), con-
cerning the extension of ratings to operating supplies, is not available
to persons using more than $5,000 per quarter of metals in the forms
indicated.
17 F.R. 4422, 4888.

DEPOSITED BY THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
102542 (b) Previous forms of certification still valid. The form of certifi
cation for use in applying or extending a rating prescribed by para-
graph (d) of Regulation No. 3 is not mandatory. It is permissible to
use, instead, the form of certification prescribed in the particular pref-
erence rating certificate or order which assigned the preference rating
in question.
(c) Certification with respect to orders previously placed. Para-
graph (d) of Regulation No. 3 provides that the certification applying
or extending a preference rating is to be endorsed on or attached to
the contract or purchase order. If the order has been placed before
the rating is applied or extended, it is permissible to furnish the certifi-
cation on a separate document specifically identifying the purchase
order in question. Such a document may refer to one or more different
purchase orders.
(d) Application or extension by telegraph. When a purchase order
is placed by telegraph and it is permissible to apply or extend a rating,
the substance of the required certification may be contained in the tele-
gram. The requirements for manual signature or authorization under
Priorities Regulation No. 7 (§ 944.27) will be satisfied if the outgoing
telegram is signed or authorized in the manner provided in that Regu-
lation.
(e) Acceptances of P orders need not be filed. Paragraph (d) (2)
of the regulation states that the certification may be used "in lieu of
furnishing any copy of any preference rating order." This eliminates
not only the requirement of furnishing a copy to the person with whom
the order is placed but also the requirement of some preference rating
orders for filing an accepted copy with the Director General for Oper-
ations or his predecessor, the Director of Priorities.
(f) Additional information required. The standard form of certifi-
cation may be used in lieu of information previously required with
respect to the grade of the rating or the identity of the preference
rating order or certificate assigning the rating. Paragraph (d) (4),
however, specifies that any other information required by the terms.
of any applicable order must still be furnished if available to the per-
son placing the purchase order. Such additional information includes,
where available, Government code numbers and contract numbers re-
quired by the form of certification appearing on Preference Rating
Certificate PD-3A. Likewise the requirements with respect to filing
copies of purchase orders which extend ratings originating on PD-3A
certificates remain applicable.
The additional information required does not include information
which merely serves as an additional identification of the preference
8
rating order assigning the rating, such as the words "Material for
Maintenance, Repair, or Operating Supplies" specified in Order P-100
or the words "Material for Emergency Repairs of Plumbing Equip-
ment or Heating Equipment" required by Order P-84. The ratings
assigned by both of these preference ratings orders may now be, ap-
plied or extended merely by complying with Regulation No. 3. (P.D.

(c) Persons Required to Qualify under PRP.-Each Class I Pro-
ducer shall file a PRP Application not later than June 30, 1942.
Each person who thereafter becomes a Class I Producer shall file a
PRP Application before the end of the Calendar Quarter in which
he becomes such. The Director of Industry Operations may specifi-
cally require other persons to file such applications from time to
time, and may also exempt particular Class I Producers from the
requirements of this paragraph or extend their time for filing PRP
Applications. Any other processors of materials desiring priority
assistance on a quarterly basis may also, with the consent of the
Director of Industry Operations, qualify under the Production Re-
quirements Plan, although not required to do so by this Regulation.
(d) Restrictions on PRP Units.—(1) After June 30, 1942, except
as provided in subparagraph (2) of this paragraph (d):
(i) No PRP Unit shall apply any preference rating to de-
liveries of any material other than those authorized on its PRP
Certificate; and no PRP Unit shall extend any preference rating
which has been applied or extended to it by any other person.
(ii) No PRP Unit shall accept deliveries (whether rated, un-
rated or allocated) of any material included on the Materials
List specified on its PRP Application form, or of any material
not on such list for which it requested priority assistance on its
PRP Application, in excess of the quantity specifically rated or
otherwise authorized by its PRP Certificate; provided that this
restriction shall not prevent the acceptance of delivery when
priority assistance is denied on the express ground that such
material can be obtained without such assistance.
(iii) No PRP Unit shall duplicate, in whole or in part, pur-
chase orders which it has placed with one or more suppliers for
delivery of any material (whether rated, unrated, or allocated)
in such manner that the amount of such material ordered exceeds
the amount actually required for delivery, even though the PRP
Unit intends to cancel or reduce its purchase orders, prior to com-
3
pletion of delivery, to the amount of actual requirements as rated
or otherwise authorized on its PRP Certificate. Each PRP
Unit, immediately upon receipt of its PRP Certificate, shall can-
cel or reduce its outstanding purchase orders calling for delivery
within the quarter covered by such Certificate to the amount of
its actual requirements as rated or otherwise authorized on such
Certificate or any previous PRP Certificate and not yet received;
provided, however, that no person shall be required to cancel
any order calling for delivery in the third quarter of 1942 of any
metal in any form included on the attached Metals List, if the
Producer thereof certifies in writing to such person that substitu-
tion of other orders is impossible and that cancellation would
disrupt the producer's production schedules and result in dimin-
ished production; in such case delivery may be accepted under
such order without regard to the restrictions of paragraph
(d) (1) (ii).
(2) (i) The restrictions of subparagraph (1) of this paragraph
(d) shall not prohibit a PRP Unit from making application
on the appropriate form for priority assistance for delivery
of materials for plant expansion, construction, or acquisition of
items of capital equipment and, if authorized, applying ratings
to and receiving delivery of such materials.
(ii) To the extent provided in paragraph (e) of this Regula-
tion, the restrictions of subparagraph (1) of this paragraph
(d) shall be inapplicable during the interim period therein
referred to.
(iii) Said restrictions shall also be inapplicable in any other
case where the Director of Industry Operations may grant spe-
cific written authorization for the application or extension of a
rating or the receipt of materials. Such authorization will be
issued by or under the authority of the Director of Industry
Operations and will specifically refer to this Regulation and may
grant an exemption from its terms covering particular persons
or classes of persons, or particular transactions or classes of
transactions.
(iv) Each PRP Unit, shall, so far as practicable, place its pur-
chase orders for the material rated or otherwise authorized on its
PRP Certificate so as to call for substantially equal deliveries
during each of the three months of the quarter, and shall in no
event, unless absolutely necessary to maintain its delivery sched-
ule or to obtain the minimum quantities practicably procurable,
order for delivery during the first month of the quarter more than
40%, or during the first two months of the quarter more than
80%, of the total quantity of any material authorized for rating
during the quarter.
(e) Interim Procedure for Class I Producers.-Any Class I Pro-
ducer who is not in default in filing his PRP Application but has not
received his PRP Certificate may apply or extend preference ratings
for delivery during the third quarter of 1942 as follows:
(1) If he has been operating under the Production Requirements
Plan, he may apply the same preference ratings he was authorized
to apply during the second quarter of 1942 to not more than 40%
of the amount of each material which he has indicated on his PRP
4
Application as his anticipated requirements for the third quarter.
(2) If he has not been operating under the Production Require-
ments Plan, he may continue to apply and extend ratings under any
applicable preference rating orders or preference rating certificates
in the same manner as permitted prior to July 1, 1942; and, not-
withstanding the termination of any preference rating order on or
after June 30, 1942, the same shall be deemed to continue in effect
as to any such person until he receives his PRP Certificate; provided,
however, he shall not apply or extend ratings to the delivery in
the third quarter of 1942 of any material in an aggregate quantity
greater than 40% of the amount of such material which he has in-
dicated as his anticipated requirements on his PRP Application for
that quarter, subject to any further restrictions contained in the pref-
erence rating certificates or orders assigning the ratings which he is
applying or extending.
(3) A Class I Producer who applies or extends any preference
rating pursuant to subparagraphs (1) or (2) of this paragraph (e),
shall deduct the amount of any material which he has received or
to which he has applied or extended such rating from the amount
rated or otherwise authorized by his PRP Certificate when issued
to him.
(f) Application and Extension of Preference Ratings.—A Class I
Producer may apply and extend preference ratings assigned by order
or certificate in the manner heretofore permitted up to and including
June 30, 1942. Thereafter, any Class I Producer who has filed his
PRP Application may continue to apply and extend such ratings only
in accordance with paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Regulation and
subject to the provisions of Priorities Regulation No. 3 as amended
($944.23). After June 30, 1942, a Class I Producer who has not filed
his PRP Application (unless he has been exempted or his filing date
has been extended in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Regula-
tion) may not extend any ratings; and may not apply any rating other
than a rating specifically assigned to him for the purpose of plant
expansion, construction or acquisition of items of capital equipment.
(9) Effect on Existing Orders and Certificates.—(1) The provisions
of this Regulation shall not modify the terms of Preference Rating
Order P-90 as issued to PRP Units with respect to requirements for
the second quarter of 1942. As to all requirements for the third
quarter, the assignment of priorities assistance under the Production
Requirements Plan will be effected solely by the PRP Certificate,
subject to the terms of this Regulation, and the use of Preference
Rating Order P-90 will be discontinued.
(2) The provisions of this Regulation do not terminate any other
existing order or certificate of the Director of Industry Operations
granting preference rating assistance, but limit and prohibit the use
of such orders or certificates by specified persons in the manner set
forth above.
(3) The provisions of this Regulation do not relieve PRP Units
from compliance with the terms of any order of the Director of
Industry Operations controlling the distribution or restricting the
use of any specific material, including requirements for the filing or
supplying of applications or other documents in connection with
the purchase, sale, delivery or use of any such material.
5
(h) Special Provisions with Respect to Metal Mills.-Notwith-
standing the foregoing provisions of this regulation, the following
provisions shall govern with respect to any person (hereinafter in this
paragraph (h) referred to as a "metal mill") to the extent that he is
engaged in producing metals in any of the forms included on the
attached Metals List:
(1) A metal mill, in determining whether it is a Class I Producer
within the meaning of paragraph (b) (6) of this regulation, may
exclude all receipts or withdrawals from inventory of metals which
will be processed by the metal mill to produce any of the forms listed
on the attached Metals List. However, there must be included any
metals in the forms listed, which will be used by it for maintenance,
repair or operating supplies, or will be fabricated by it beyond the
forms listed.
(2) A metal mill need not include in its PRP Application materials
which will be processed by it to produce metals in any of the forms
listed on the attached Metals List, but it must include any material, in-
cluding metals in the forms listed, which will be used by it for main-
tenance, repair or operating supplies, or will be fabricated by it beyond
the forms listed, and for which it requires priority assistance.
(3) A metal mill may extend and apply preference ratings assigned
by a preference rating order or certificate, in the manner heretofore
permitted, for delivery to it of material which has been excluded from
its PRP Application pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph (2)
of this paragraph (h), and may accept delivery of such material.

PART 944-REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE OPERA-
TION OF THE PRIORITIES SYSTEM
Priorities Regulation No. 11 as Amended
INTERPRETATION NO. 1
The question has arisen as to whether persons whose primary
business is the refining or smelting of metals are required to qualify
under the Production Requirements Plan.
Paragraph (b) (6) (ii) (h) of Priorities Regulation No. 11 (Sec.
944.32) excepts from the definition of persons required to qualify
under the Plan, any person to the extent that he is engaged in the
business of “extracting, smelting, refining, alloying, or similarly
processing metal ores or scrap into raw metal."
However, under paragraph (h) of the Regulation, added by Amend-
ment No. 1 in effect June 19, 1942, a special rule applicable to all
metal mills was promulgated. A metal mill is defined as any person
who produces metals in any of the forms included on the Metals
List attached to Regulation No. 11. Therefore, any person who pro-
duces metals in any of the forms listed (including such forms as
billets, blooms, ingots, and pigs), whether by refining, smelting, or
otherwise, is a metal mill and subject to the specific provisions of
paragraph (h) of Regulation No. 11 as amended.
Under paragraph (h) and the other provisions of Regulation No.
11, a metal mill is required to file a PRP Application if it uses or
anticipates using more than $5,000 worth of metals in the forms
listed, in the past, current, or next quarter. However, in determining
whether it is required to file, the mill may exclude from consideration
any such metal which it uses in the production of other forms included
on the list. Thus, for example, a metal mill in determining whether it
must file a PRP Application need not include pig iron which it
1
470606°-42
receives to be further melted for the production of steel ingots. On
the other hand, in making such determination a metal mill must
include such listed metal forms as bars or wire which it uses for its
own maintenance and repair, and all listed forms which it further
processes into forms more highly fabricated than those included on
the Metals List.
Similarly, after a particular metal mill has determined that it is
required to file a PRP Application, it need not include in its PRP
Application any metals which it will further process to make other
forms of metals included on the Metals List, but it must include the
forms listed which it will use for maintenance, repair or operating
supplies, or which it will further process beyond the forms included
on the Metals List.
Summarizing the foregoing, refiners, smelters, and mills who pro-
duce metal in the forms included on the Metals List unless specifically
exempted by the Director of Industry Operations must qualify under
the Production Requirements Plan for their maintenance, repair, and
operating supplies and for production material to be processed beyond
the forms included on the List, provided that their metal require-
ments for such purposes exceed $5,000 for the last, current, or next
succeeding quarter.
Issued this 29th day of June 1942.

Establishing Rerating Procedures

TITLE 32-NATIONAL DEFENSE
CHAPTER IX-WAR PRODUCTION BOARD
Subchapter B-Division of Industry Operations
PART 944-REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE
OPERATION OF THE PRIORITIES SYSTEM
Priorities Regulation No. 12
ESTABLISHING RERATING PROCEDURES
$944.33 Priorities Regulation No. 12.-(a) General. Deliveries
bearing preference ratings may be rerated and, subject to the limita-
tions hereinafter provided, such reratings may be applied or extended
in the manner provided in this Regulation. Such reratings shall
change only the grade of the preference rating, and shall not increase
the amount of material to which the rating may be applied or extended.
(b) Methods of initiating rerating. Reratings may be effected
in the first instance through the issuance, by or under the authority
of the Director of Industry Operations, of either (1) a new preference
rating order or certificate, (2) an amendment of an existing order or
certificate, or (3) a Rerating Direction on Form PD-4X, attached
hereto (or such other form as may be prescribed), specifying the
change of rating and the items to which it applies. A single Rerating
Direction may be used to rerate deliveries to be made under different
contracts with the same contractor, and may specify different new
ratings for separate deliveries to be made under a single contract.
The Rerating Direction shall also include the appropriate Allocation
Classification and Purchasers' Symbols required by Priorities Regu-
lation No. 10 (§944.31) and such other identification as may be required
by the government agency issuing the Rerating Direction.
(c) Extent to which rerating may be applied or extended.
(1) In any case where a delivery to be made by a person has been
rerated, such person may rerate deliveries to be made to him of the
following material only:
(i) Material which will itself be delivered by such person on a re-
rated delivery, or which will be physically incorporated into material
to be so delivered, or
(ii) Material which is required to replace in inventory material so
delivered or incorporated. Material shall not be deemed to be re-
2
DEPOSITED D
UNITED STAT
quired if the delivery can be made and a practicable working minimum
inventory of such material still retained; and if, in making delivery,
the inventory is reduced below such minimum, the new rating may be
applied or extended to replace such material only to the extent neces-
sary to restore the inventory to such minimum; provided, however, that
the material ordered for replacement must be substantially the same
as the material delivered or incorporated in the material delivered,
subject only to minor variations in size, shape or design, or substitution
of less scarce materials, which, in any case, do not substantially alter
the purpose for which the same is to be used.
(2) In addition, any person may extend the new rating to deliveries
of operating supplies (including lubricants, catalysts, abrasives and
small perishable tools) which are actually required and will be con-
sumed by him in physically processing other material to the delivery
of which he has extended the same new rating, except that
(i) The cost of the operating supplies to which he extends the
rating shall not exceed ten percent of the cost of the particular ma-
terials to be processed therewith, and to which he extends the new
rating;
(ii) Not more than 25 percent by value of the operating supplies so
rated in any calendar month shall be metals in any of the forms listed
on the Metals List attached to Priorities Regulation No. 11 (§ 944.32) ;
and
(iii) No person may extend such a rating to obtain operating sup-
plies if his receipts or withdrawals from inventory during the most
recent calendar quarter, or his anticipated receipts or withdrawals
from inventory during the current or the next succeeding calendar
quarter, of metals in the forms listed on said Metals List aggregate
$5,000 or more in value.
(3) A PRP Unit, when deliveries to be made by it have been
rerated, may, despite the provisions of Priorities Regulation No. 11
(§ 944.32) or of Preference Rating Order P-90, rerate deliveries to
be made to it, by applying or extending the new rating in accordance
with this Regulation; provided, however, that nothing in this Reg-
ulation, or in any Rerating Direction or Certificate issued hereunder,
shall authorize a PRP Unit (or any person required by said Prior-
ities Regulation No. 11 to become a PRP Unit) to receive any deliv-
ery, or apply or extend a rating to any delivery, of any material in
an amount greater than permitted by said Regulation.
(4) In each case, the new rating applied or extended by any person
shall be the same as the new rating which he has received for the
related delivery to be made by him, even though this may require
him to apply or extend separate new ratings to items previously
covered by a single rating; except that, to the extent necessary to
avoid production or delivery in quantities smaller than the minimum
3
commercially practicable, items which might be rerated with new
ratings of different grades may be combined, and the total delivery
rerated with the new rating of the lowest grade.
(d) Method of application or extension.
(1) A person entitled under paragraph (e) of this Regulation to
rerate a delivery to be made to him, and to which he has already
applied or extended a rating may do so by furnishing to his supplier
a Rerating Certificate in the form of Form PD-4Y attached thereto,
containing the information therein specified and signed manually
or as provided in Priorities Regulation No. 7 (§ 944.27) by an official
duly authorized for such purpose. The person receiving such Cer-
tificate shall be entitled to rely on the statements therein unless he
knows or has reason to believe them to be false.
(2) Each person rerating any delivery to be made to him must
maintain at his regular place of business for not less than two years,
copies of all Rerating Certificates issued by him, and all Rerating
Directions or Certificates received by him upon which he relies as
entitling him to rerate such deliveries, segregated and available for
inspection by representatives of the War Production Board, or filed
in such manner that they can be readily segregated and made avail-
able for such inspection.
(e) Use of new rating where rating has not yet been used. If
a person who is entitled to rerate a delivery to be made to him has
not yet applied or extended a rating to such delivery, he may apply
or extend the new rating in the same manner in which he could have
applied or extended the earlier rating subject to the provisions of
Priorities Regulation No. 3, as amended (§ 944.23) and to the provi-
sions of paragraph (c) of this Regulation.
(f) Effective date of rerating. The sequence of rated and re-
rated deliveries shall be determined as if the rerated item had carried
the new rating at the time the original rating was received, and the
person whose delivery is rerated shall make any necessary change in
his production or delivery schedule promptly on receipt of the re-
rating, provided, however, that
(1) Any person who, prior to July 15, 1942, receives a rerating
for a delivery to be made by him, shall make the necessary changes
in his production and delivery schedules on July 15, 1942, and shall
put such changes into effect immediately thereafter except as
otherwise provided in subparagraphs (2), (3), and (4) of this
paragraph (f);
(2) If such person has received reratings for all deliveries which
are to be completed in 1942 on any one production schedule, he may
proceed to make the necessary changes in such schedule before July
15, 1942, subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (3) and (4) of
this paragraph (f);
4
(3) No person shall, by reason of a rerating, divert material
specifically produced for an order bearing a rating higher than A-2
and deliver the same under the higher rerated order if such material
is completed at the time the rerating is received or is scheduled for
completion within fifteen days thereafter, unless such diversion is
specifically directed by the Director of Industry Operations, or unless
the new rating is AAA;
(4) No person shall be required by reason of a rerating to termi-
nate or interrupt a production schedule within fifteen days after the
receipt of such rerating, and, if such person is operating on a
monthly or longer fixed production schedule and it is impracticable
for him to make a change in such schedule before the end of such
period, he may postpone such change until the commencement of his
next production period, but not in any event for more than forty
days after the receipt of the rerating, unless otherwise permitted by
the Director of Industry Operations.

[Priorities Regulation 13]
Special Sales of Idle or Frozen Materials
§ 944.34 Priorities Regulation 13-(a) Purpose. The purpose of
this regulation is to provide uniform rules governing special sales of
idle or excess materials by persons who are not regularly engaged in
the business of selling such materials, including distress and liquidation
sales and sales by persons who, by reason of the effect of priority orders
or for other reasons, cannot use such materials in the regular course of
their business. This regulation does not authorize receipt or use of
any material by any person in violation of any inventory, quota or use
restrictions imposed by any order or regulation.
(b) Definitions. For the purposes of this regulation:
(1) "Sale" of a material includes any public or private sale, auction
sale, sale upon foreclosure of any lien or mortgage, or delivery of such
material in exchange for money or for any other material and the sale
of any warehouse receipt, bill of lading or other document evidencing
an interest in such material, but does not include the pledge or mortgage
or other creation of any lien upon such material or the transfer of pos-
session of such material without any transfer of title.
(2) "Special sale" means any sale except:
(i) A sale of any material in a form regularly sold by the seller in the
course of his business; and
(ii) A sale of any tool, machinery, or other assembled commercial,
industrial, production, agricultural, or household equipment; and
(iii) A sale of material in the form in which it is used by ultimate
consumers thereof without being further processed or assembled with
other materials or made a part of any building or structure; and
(iv) A sale of foodstuffs, medicines and other materials for internal
human consumption.
"Special sale" also includes any sale made or caused to be made by
any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, public official or any other person
acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, and not in the course
of carrying on the business of an insolvent or bankrupt person or other
person whose business is in the hands of such fiduciary or representa-
tives.

(3) "Material" means any commodity, equipment, accessory, part,
assembly or product of any kind.
(4) "War material" means any material consisting in whole or in
substantial part of one or more materials listed in Schedule "A"
attached.
(5) "Person" means any individual, partnership, association, busi-
ness trust, corporation, governmental corporation or agency, or any
organized group of persons, whether incorporated or not.
(6) "Producer" means any person who produces, manufactures,
fabricates, processes, constructs or assembles any material and in-
cludes any person furnishing electric, gas, water, sanitation, steam,
transportation, communication or other utility services to the public.
(7) "Director" means the Director of Industry Operations of the
War Production Board or the Director of Priorities of the Office of
Production Management.
(c) Permitted special sales.—(1) Subject to paragraph (d) of this
regulation, any person may make a special sale of any material other
than a war material without restriction.
(2) Subject to paragraph (d) of this regulation, any person may
make a special sale of any war material if the sale falls within one of the
following categories, and no person may make any special sale of any
war material if such sale does not fall within one of the following cate-
gories:
(i) A sale to any of the following governmental departments or
agencies or to any person buying for the account of such departments
or agencies: Maritime Commission, Navy Department, War Depart-
ment, Board of Economic Warfare, Commodity Credit Corporation,
Defense Supplies Corporation, Metals Reserve Company, Rubber
Reserve Company and any other corporation organized under Section
5 (d) of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act as amended; or
(ii) A sale pursuant to a specific authorization of the Director nam-
ing the seller and identifying the particular sale to be made; or
(iii) A sale by a producer to another producer engaged in the same
business as the seller, but only if an order of the Director applicable
generally to persons engaged in such business expressly permits
such a sale; or
(iv) A sale of an individual lot of war material at an aggregate
price of less than $100: Provided, That this exception shall not be
construed to permit the dividing of holdings of war material into
lots having a value of less than $100 and disposing of such lots under
this subparagraph (2) (iv); or
(v) A sale to any person falling within a class indicated on Schedule
"A" attached as being a class to whom the particular war material
may be sold: Provided, That when any alloy, compound, mixture, or
product is not listed as such on Schedule "A" and contains a significant
со
amount of more than one war material, the sale shall be made only to a
person to whom all such contained war materials may be sold.
(d) Effect on other orders and regulations.—(1) Any sale which is
not a special sale shall remain subject to the provisions of all applicable
orders and regulations.
(2) The provisions of this regulation shall control all special sales
although inconsistent with any order or regulation of the Director
heretofore issued. Notwithstanding any provision of any such order
or regulation which permits such sale, no special sale shall be made
if forbidden by the provisions of this regulation; and any special sale
permitted by the provisions of this regulation may be made, and
deliveries thereunder accepted by the buyer, despite any provision
of any such order or regulation forbidding the same except that:
(i) Nothing in this regulation shall affect any provision contained
in any order or regulation of the Director which imposes any quota
or other limitation on the amount any buyer may purchase, receive
or produce, or which imposes any limitations on the amount of in-
ventory of any person or any restrictions upon the use of any material;
and
(ii) This regulation shall not affect any provision of any applicable
order or regulation of the Director requiring a buyer to make any re-
ports or to furnish any information in connection with a purchase; and
(iii) No seller shall make any special sale if he knows or has reason
to believe that the purchase or acceptance or delivery by the buyer
would violate any inventory or quota restrictions imposed on the
buyer by any order or regulation or that the buyer is acquiring the
material for a use which would be in violation of any order or regu-
lation.
(e) Records. Any person making any special sale must maintain at
his regular place of business all documents, including purchase orders
and preference rating orders and certificates, upon which he relies as
entitling him to make such sale. Such records shall be kept segre-
gated and available for inspection by representatives of the War
Production Board, or filed in such manner that they can be readily
segregated and made available for such inspection. (P.D. Reg. 1, as
amended, 6 F.R. 6680; W.P.B. Reg. 1, 7 F.R. 561; E.O. 9024, 7 F.R.

SCHEDULE “A”
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This schedule relates only to special sales made under paragraph (c) (2) (v)
of this regulation. Any purchaser of material through a special sale must comply
with all inventory, quota, and use restrictions imposed by all other orders and
regulations.
When an alloyed material, or a physically or chemically compounded material,
is shown in this table, the conditions that govern the sale of the alloyed or com-
pounded material are those shown for the alloy or compound and not those shown
for the constituent elements or parts. For example, the conditions under which
stainless steel may be sold are those shown for the war material "Stainless Steel"
and not those shown for "Chromium" or "Nickel" or "Steel." When any alloy,
compound, mixture, or product is not listed as such on Schedule "A" and con-
tains a significant amount of more than one war material, the sale shall be made
only to a person to whom all such contained war materials may be sold.
The word "No" appearing in any column in this schedule means that a holder
may not sell the particular war material to any person in the class to which that
column applies unless the sale is otherwise permitted by this regulation.
The letters "P. R." mean Preference Rating, and wherever they appear in any
column, mean that the holder may sell the particular war material to any person
in the class to which that column applies, but only provided that such person
places with the holder an order for the material bearing a duly applied or extended
preference rating equal to or higher than the rating shown immediately after the
letters "P. R.” For example, "P. R. A-1-k", which appears opposite the war
material "Nickel" in the column headed "Any producer permitted to buy for an
authorized use" means that the holder may sell to any producer who places an
order for a product containing nickel if that order bears a duly applied or extended
preference rating of A-1-k or higher.
The letters "W. O. P." mean "Without Preference Rating" and wherever they
appear in any column mean that the holder may sell the particular material to
any person in the class to which that column applies without any preference rating
from the buyer.
The letter "X" means "not applicable."
Wherever an asterisk (*) appears, refer to the note in the "Remarks" column.
