P art 3175—R egulations Applicable to the Controlled Materials P lan

[CMP Reg. 4, as Amended Nov. 3, 1944] .SALES OF CONTROLLED MATERIALS BY WARE­

HOUSES AND DISTRIBUTORS§ 3175.4 CMP R e g u l a t i o n 4—(a)

Purpose and scope. This regulation de­scribes the procedure to be followed by warehouses and distributors in deliver­ing controlled materials from stock (in­cluding consigned stock) except that in the case of steel, deliveries from one dis­tributor to another are governed^by Orders M-21-b-l and M-21-b-2.

Steel(b) Definitions with respect to steel.

The following definitions shall apply for the purpose of this regulation and for the purpose of any other CMP regulation unless otherwise indicated:

(1) “Steel” means carbon steel, alloy steel, and wrought iron, in the forms and shapes listed in Schedule I of CMP Reg­ulation No. 1.

(2) “Distributor” means any person (including a warehouse, jobber, dealer or retailer) who is engaged in the busi­ness of’regularly receiving steel into his /tock for sale or resale in the form re-

/ ceived or after performing such opera- f tions as cutting to length, shearing to

size, torch cutting or burning to shape, sorting and grading, pipe threading, or corrugating or otherwise forming sheets for roofing and siding; but a person who, in connection with any sale, bends, punches or performs any fabricating op­eration designed to prepare steel for final use or assembly shall not b« deemed a distributor with respect to such sale.

(c) Rejection of orders. (1) A dis­tributor must reject all orders except those which he is required or permitted to fill under paragraph (d).

(2) [Deleted Jan. 13,1944.](3) A distributor must not accept an

authorized controlled material order bearing a specific allotment number which requires a quarterly identification after the end of the quarter for which the allotment was issued, and he must not deliver any steel on such an order earlier than 15 days before the beginning of such period. However, he may de­liver steel on an order properly accepted at any time during such quarter or any following quarter. For example, a dis­tributor may accept an order bearing the allotment number N-1-4Q44 any time prior to January 1,1945, but he may not deliver any material on such an order earlier than September 16,1944. Orders bearing symbols which do not require a quarterly identification, such as MRO (see Interpretation 25 to CMP Regula­tion No. 1) are not subject to this provi­sion.

(4) A distributor may reject any or­der for steel on which the customer does not specify immediate delivery. Even if he elects to accept an authorized con­trolled material order calling for future delivery, he is not allowed to set aside the steel covered by such order. He must deliver it on any order calling for im­mediate delivery that he is required to fill under paragraphs (d) (1), (2) or (3), and may deliver it on any order calling for immediate delivery that he is per­mitted to fill under paragraifh (d) (4).

(5) A distributor may reject any order calling for the delivery of steel which he does not have in stock or which he does not know is in transit to his stock.

(6) A distributor may reject all or any part of an order which the War Produc­tion Board specifically authorizes him to reject. If a delivery would deplete his stock to a point where his function in the distribution of steel would be seri­ously impaired, he may apply to the War Production Board for authority to reject the order and may delay filling the order until his application is acted upon.

(d) Orders which must be filled. A distributor must fill the following kinds of orders unless he is required or per­mitted to reject them under paragraph(c):

13150 FEDERAL REGISTER, Saturday, November 4, 1944

(1) A distributor must fill all author­ized controlled material orders except as provided in paragraph (m) (1). .

(2) A distributor must fill orders for delivery to farmers as required by Prior­ities Regulation No. 19.

(3) A distributor must fill orders bearing preference ratings of AAA.

(4) A distributor may fill other orders as follows, but is not required to do so regardless of whether rated or not:

(i) Orders in amounts of $25 or less. No endorsement is required on such orders.

(ii) Orders identified by the symbol Z-1E as explained in paragraph (m).

(iii) Orders calling for delivery to one customer during any calendar quarter of not more than 10 tons of carbon steel, 1,000 pounds of stainless steel and 2 tons of other alloy steel, providing such de­liveries of any one product group and type to one customer do not exceed the amounts shown below:

•Feet per quarter.

Each order placed under this paragraph(d) (4) (iii) must be accompanied by or endorsed with both the standard form of certification in CMP Regulation No. 7 and the following sentence: “This order is placed under paragraph (d) (4) (iii) of CMP Regulation No. 4.“

The purpose of this paragraph (d) (4)(iii) is to permit persons using small quantities of steel to obtain their re­quirements without the use of allot­ments; it is not to allow users of large quantities *to obtain steel in addition to their purchases on authorized con­trolled material orders. Therefore, a person who buys any steel under this paragraph (d) (4) (iii) cannot receive any kind or type of steel from producers or distributors in any quarter in excess of the amounts shown in the above table whether it is received on authorized con­trolled material orders or otherwise. Consequently, in general, a person should plan to buy all his steel either under this paragraph or on authorized controlled material orders, but not both. Pur­chases of steel from persons other than producers or distributors do not affect the amount which can be bought under this paragraph. Such purchases are subject to the provisions of Priorities Regulation 13 and paragraph (u) of CMP Regulation No. 1.

Copper(e) Definitions with respect to copper.

The following definitions shall apply for the purpose of this regulation and for the purpose of any other CMP regula­tion unless otherwise indicated:

(1) “Copper wire mill product” means bare, insulated or armored wire or cable for electrical conduction made from cop­per or copper base alloy or copper-clad steel containing more than 20% copper by weight.

(2) “Brass mill product” means sheet, wire, rod or tube made from copper or copper base alloy. This does not include copper wire mill products.

(3) “Warehouse” means any indus­trial supplier, mill supplier, plumbing supply house, electrical wholesaler or other person engaged in the business of distributing brass mill products or copper wire mill products to industry or trade jotherwise than as a controlled materials producer and includes warehouses owned by mills.

(4) “Item of copper wire mill product” means any wire or cable made from cop­per, copper base alloy or copper-clad steel containing more than 20% copper by weight for electrical conduction which is different from all other items of that form by reason of one or more differ­ences of its specifications, sUch as size, alloy or insulation. Differences in tem­per or length do not differentiate items.

(5) “Item of brass mill product” means sheet, wire, rod or tube made from copper or copper base alloy, which is different from all other items of that fdrm, by reason of one or more differ-

/ences of its specifications, such as size, shape, gauge, thickness or alloy. Differ­ences in temper or length do not differ­entiate items except in the case of copper and brass sheet, where differences in temper will constitute different items.

(6) “Warehouse stock” means brass mill or copper wire mill products physi­cally located-in warehouse inventories, whether owned or held on consignment by the warehouse.

(f) Delivery of brass mill or copper wire mill products—(1) Delivery from warehouse stock, (i) A warehouse shall fill authorized controlled material orders for brass mill or copper wire mill prod­ucts, in accordance with this regulation, if it can fill the orders from its stock. In addition, a warehouse may fill orders identified by the symbol Z-1E as ex­plained in paragraph (m). In no case, however, may a warehouse fill an order for brass mill or copper wire mill products unless the purchaser has the right to accept delivery under the pro­visions of this paragraph (f) which limit the amount of brass mill and copper wire mill products which a purchaser may get from a warehouse. A warehouse is en­titled to rely on a certificate furnished by any of its customers under paragraph(f) (1) (iv) of this regulation, unless it knows or has reason to believe the cer­tificate to be false.

(ii) Beginning May 15,1944 no person shall place orders for delivery from ware­

house stock of any item of brass mill product to any one destination, during any calendar week which aggregates more than 500 pounds gross weight, or, effective immediately, for delivery, dur­ing any one calendar month, which aggregate more than 2,000 pounds gross • weight and no person shall accept any delivery in excess of these amounts. However, the 500 pound limitation does not apply to a single continuous length of rod, tube, pipe, sheet or strip and neither the 500 pound nor the 2,000 pound limitation applies to condenser tubes or to the resale of brass mill products obtained by brass mill ware­houses from surplus inventories under the provisions of Priorities Regulation 13 or WPB Directive 16.

(iii) No person shall place orders for delivery from warehouse stock of any item of copper wire mill product to any one destination, during any one calendar month, which aggregate more than 3,000 pounds copper content and no person shall accept any such delivery in excess of this amount, except that this limita­tion does not apply to the resale of cop­per wire mill products obtained by cop­per wire mill warehouses from surplus inventories obtained under the provisions of Priorities Regulation 13 or WPB Direc­tive 16.

(iv) No person shall place an order under this paragraph (f) (1) and no warehouse shall accept an order unless it is accompanied by, or endorsed with, a certificate in the form provided in CMP Regulation No. 7 (or a certificate pre­scribed by any regulation or order of the War Production Board for use in placing an authorized controlled material order), signed manually or as provided in Priorities Regulation No. 7.

(2) Shipments direct to customer or to fill specific orders. If a warehouse wants to order material to fill a specific au­thorized controlled material order of a customer instead of filling it from stock, it may order the material either for direct shipment to the customer or for shipment via the warehouse, by placing on its order the customer’s name and allotment number or symbol. Such an •order is to be treated as an authorized controlled material order. The ware­house may not treat the delivery to the customer as made from stock and may not request a replacement. However, in the case of brass mill products, a ware­house may order from another ware­house only if it does not have the mate­rial in inventory and needs it for imme­diate delivery to a customer on an au­thorized controlled material order. It must state these facts on its order.

Cl) Rejection of orders, (i) A ware­house must not fill any order,, for brass mill or copper wire mill products except those which it is required or permitted to fill under paragraph (f) (1) or (f) (2) above.

(ii) A warehouse must not deliver any brass mill or copper wire mill product on an authorized controlled material order except in the quarter for which the allot-

13151FEDERAL REGISTER, Saturday, November 4, 1944ment appearing on the order is valid. Orders bearing symbols such as “MRO” or “SO” which do not have to bear any quarterly identification may be filled during any quarter, but such orders must indicate when delivery is required if for other than immediate delivery.

(iii) A warehouse may reject any order calling for immediate delivery of brass mill or copper wire mill products which it does not have in stock or know to be in transit to its stock.

(iv) A warehouse may reject an order calling for future delivery. If it elects to accept the order, it must not set aside or hold any material to fill it.

Aluminum(g) Definitions with respect to alumi­

num. The following definitions shall apply for the purpose of this regulation and for the purpose of any other CMP Regulation unless otherwise indicated:

(1) “Aluminum” means aluminum in any of the forms and shapes constituting controlled materia] as defined in CMP Regulation No. 1.

(2) “Distributor” means any person who has received or proposes to receive physical delivery of aluminum into his stock for sale or resale in the same form, or after performing such operations as cutting to length, shearing to size, sort­ing and grading.

(h) (1) Deliveries of aluminum by dis­tributors. Each distributor shall, to the extent of his available stock, fill author­ized controlled material orders, orders bearing the symbol AM, and orders which he has been specifically directed in writ­ing by the War Production Board to fill, and he may fill orders identified by the symbol Z-1E as explained in paragraph(m) (i) except that he may reject any such order calling for delivery at any one time, to any one person at any one desti­nation, of more than 2,000 lbs. of any gage, alloy and size of aluminum sheet, or more than 900 lbs. of any alloy, shape and size of aluminum wire rod or bar, or more than 600 lbs. of any alloy, size or shape of aluminum tubing, extrusions or struc­tural shapes and (if) except that he also may reject any order from another dis­tributor.

(2) No distributor shall deliver any aluminum except to fill an authorized controlled material order or pursuant to a specific direction of the War Produc­tion Board.

(3) The restrictions of this regulation do not apply to aluminum powder, flake, pigment, or paste delivered for the pur­pose of making paint, ink, or other coat­ing or liquid welding compound. Such aluminum powder, flake, pigment or paste may be delivered by a distributor 'on rated or unrated purchase orders sub­ject to the provisions of Priorities Regu­lation No. 1.General Provisions Applicable to Steel,

Brass Mill Products, Copper Wire MillProducts and Aluminum(i) Directions to distributors and ware­

houses. Each distributor and warehouse shall comply with such directions as may be issued from time to time by the War Production Board with respect to making

or withholding deliveries of steel, brass mill products, copper wire mill products or aluminum, and with respect to the earmarking of stocks of such material.

(j) Placement of authorized controlled material orders. A delivery order for steel, brass mill products, copper wire mill • products or aluminum, shall be deemed an authorized controlled mate­rial order, if but only if,

(1) It is specifically designated as an authorized controlled material order by any regulation or order of the War Pro­duction Board; or

(2) It is endorsed with the appropriate certification and allotment number or symbol in the way prescribed by para­graph (s) (3) of CMP Regulation No. 1.

(3) A delivery order for steel, brass mill products, copper wire mill products or aluminum, placed with a distributor or warehouse shall be considered as calling for immediate delivery unless the order specifically provides otherwise.

(k) Verbal delivery orders. Any de­livery order requiring shipment within seven days may be placed verbally or by telephone by stating to the distributor or warehouse the substance of the in­formation required by this regulation, Provided, That the person placing the order furnishes to the distributor or warehouse, within fifteen days after placing the same, written confirmation of the order complying with the require­ments of this regulation. In case of fail­ure to receive written confirmation within fifteen days, the distributor or warehouse shall not accept any other order from, or deliver any additional material of any kind to. the purchaser until such written confirmation is fur­nished. On or befpre the twentieth day of each month any distributor or ware­house who has received in the prior month a delivery order by telephone, shall notify the appropriate Regional Compliance Office of the War Production Board, of any case in which a purchaser has failed to furnish to him the written confirmation when due.

(l) Special provisions with respect to AAA orders. Notwithstanding the fore­going provisions of this regulation an authorized controlled material order placed with a distributor or warehouse bearing a rating of AAA shall be filled in preference to any other authorized con­trolled material orders regardless of time of receipt.

(m) Special treatment of “Z” orders—(1) Authorized controlled material or­ders?. A distributor or warehouse must not fill any order identified by a CMP al­lotment symbol whose initial letter is “Z” unless he will be able to fill all other or­ders which he has received which he is re­quired to fill under this regulation and which call for delivery of the same items within the next 30 days. In addition, a copper wire mill warehouse may not de­liver in any month on “Z” orders more pounds of copper wire than 10% of the amount he delivered during the previous month on all orders.

(2)- Treatment of Z -l orders identified by the letter “E”. Orders bearing the allotment symbol Z-1E (which are not authorized controlled material orders)

may be placed with distributors and warehouses for certain controlled ma­terials in their stocks. A distributor or warehouse who receives such orders may fill them, but he is not required to do so. If he elects to fill such orders he may do so only in accordance with the following:

(i) A distributor or warehouse, acting as agent for the Metals Reserve Com­pany, may deliver on Z-1E orders without limit any controlled materials owned by the Metals Reserve Company which he receives into his stock, and

(ii) A steel distributor may deliver any steel products from his stock on Z-1E orders, but he may not use such a delivery to support a stock replacement order placed with a producer or another dis­tributor, and

(iii) A copper wire mill warehouse, brass mill warehouse or aluminum dis­tributor may sell in any three-month period a quantity of controlled materials equal to the poundage purchased by him in the preceding three-month period from consumers under the provisions of Priorities Regulation 13, or a quantity equal to the quantity purchased in the current month, whichever is greater, and

(iv) An aluminum distributor may sell items which have been in his stock for 15 days and which he has not been able to deliver on other orders permitted by this regulation.

(3) How a consumer places a Z-1E order. A consumer with an authorized production schedule identified by a CMP allotment symbol Z-l who does not have an allotment or who does not wish to use it, may place orders on a distributor or warehouse for the type of controlled material described above, but must not use the symbol Z-l without adding the letter “E”. The letter “E” is added to identify the purchase as being made out of “excess” stock in a warehouse, and thus to indicate that the purchaser’s al­lotment account does not need to be

Charged. If he places only the symbol “Z -l” on his order without adding the “E”, it is an authorized controlled mate­rial order, and must be charged against his allotment account in accordance with CMP Regulation No. 1. A consumer may also obtain steel without using his allot­ment in accordance with paragraph (d)(4) (i) and (d) (4) (iii), but if he does so, he must not us« either the symbol Z-l or Z-1E on his order.

(n) Communications. All communi­cations concerning this regulation should be addressed to the War Production Board, Washington 25, D. C., Ref: CMP Regulation No. 4 (specify whether steel, copper or aluminum).

added at the end of Table II to read as follows:

8 The prices listed in this table are for standardized items only. The prices of spe­cially designed or constructed heels and soles are not included. For sizes or thicknesses which differ from the sizes and thicknesses given in this table for any type of heel and sole and for types of heels and soles not listed in this table, the manufacturer shall add to or subtract from the maximum price for the size, thickness or type in the table which is nearest (or if two, the lower) to the iteip beingjjriced, the customary dollar-and-cents differential which the manufacturer had in effect during the base period, October 1, 1941 to March 31, 1942, for the two items. Similarity in type means that, for example, if a manufacturer were pricing an ortho­pedic half heel of a size below 12/13, he should take the dollar-and-cents differential between the orthopedic heel he is pricing and the men’s half heel of the same grade which he had in his price lists in the base period, and add that dollar-and-cents differential to the price listed in Table n of Appendix A, for the men’s half heel, all sizes to 12/13.

11. A new footnote, designated “9” is added a t the end of Table II to read as follows:

* Molded fiber soles. A manufacturer of mplded fiber soles may find his maximum price by selecting the comparable item which he produced in the base period and adding to that base period price 5% cents per pair for men’s, and 4 cents per pair for women’s sizes. For other sizes and genders, the man­ufacturer should add to or subtract from, as the case may be, the men’s or women’s price, the dollar-and-cents differential which existed in the base period between the two sizes and genders.

12. A new footnote, designated “10” is added at the end of Table II to read as follows:

10 The maximum prices for youths’, little gents’, misses’ and children's sizes of full soles dinked out of fuel cell, belt and hose scrap shall be the same as that provided for corresponding size and iron of the stand­ard non-marking type. Infants’ sizes shall be It less than children’s sizes of the same iron. If a manufacturer did not have a cus­tomary differential from October 1, 1941, to March 31, 1942, for sizes not shown in the table he shall determine his price by inter­polation.

This amendment shall become effec­tive November 3, 1944.

(3) Where the daily average per well production is 9 barrels or more and it is found that (a) because of certain high cost factors, the maximum price for crude oil produced from a particular pool is below the average cost of production and(b) the cost of production is not out of proportion to the output obtainable.,

CHANNEL CARBON BLACKA statement of the considerations In­

volved in the issuance of this amend­ment, issued simultaneously herewith, has been filed with the Division of the Federal Register.*

Section 4.30 is added to read as fol­lows:

Sec. 4.30 Incremental output of easy processing channel carbon black sold to Defense Supplies Corporation—(a) Ap­plicability. (1) Any seller of incremental output of easy processing channel carbon black, produced under the War Produc­tion Board program for increasing the supply of such carbon black, may use the maximum prices established by this section in place of his maximum prices established under other provisions of the General Maximum Price Regulation for his sales of such incremental output to Defense Supplies Corporation.

(2) “Incremental output” means out­put from new facilities. New facilities are:

(i) “New plants,” which are:(a) Plants which did not operate at

any time during June 1944.(b) Plants, or portions of plants,

which operated during June, 1944, but have been moved to a new location where gas costs are substantially greater than at the old location and have been set up as a new plant.

•Copies may be obtained from the Office of Price Administration.

(ii) “Expanded plants,” which are ex­isting plants (plants in operation at any time during June, 1944), in which the number of burner units in operation has been increased above the maximum number in operation during June, 1944.

(b) Determination of amount of in­cremental output. (1) The amount of incremental output at any new facility shall be determined by actual physical measurement where this is feasible.

(2) Where it is not feasible to separate the incremental output of easy proc­essing channel carbon black produced at a new facility, the incremental output shall be computed by multiplying the estimated yield in pounds per MCF by the number of MCF of supplemental gas uséd. “Supplemental gas” means the gas used to operate the new facility. The

/yield estimate shall be based on the new gas acquired for this purpose and shall be made in accordance with customary methods of estimating yield.

The producer shall, prior to sale of any incremental output, the amount of which is determined on the basis of es­timated yield, submit in writing to the Chemicals and Drugs Price Branch, Of­fice of Price Administration, Washing­ton 25, D. C., a full description of the tests made in arriving at the estimated yield of the supplemental gas; a state­ment as to the sources of supply of such

Áas and the amount to be obtained from 'each source; and the yield figure the

producer proposes to use. If within 20 days of mailing this report the producer has not received a written disapproval of the yield figure proposed, the producer may use such yield figure in computing his additional production and m a x im u m prices therefor. The Office of Price Administration may at any time disap­prove, or modify, the yield figure pro­posed, and In doing so may consider the yields obtained by other producers of easy processing channel carbon black using the same gas. The producer may at any time request modification of the yield estimate and submit evidence in support of such request, and such request and supporting evidence shall be consid­ered by the Office of Price Administra­tion, which shall make such adjustment in the yield figure as may be warranted.

(c) Maximum prices. (1) The maxi­mum price per pound in covered hopper cars, f. o. b. plant, for sales of the incre­mental output of easy processing chan­nel carbon black produced at any new facility, shall be the sum of the following items per pound of such incremental out­put. The computation is to be made in accordance with subparagraph (2) below and reported in accordance with subparagraph (4) below.

(i) Gas cost.(ii) Gas delivery cost.(iii) Gas treatment cost.(iv) Amortization of preparatory ex­

pense involved in rehabilitation of exist­ing plants and depreciation.

All items of preparatory expense in­volved in the rehabilitation of existing plants which, in accordance with good accounting practice and the . regulations of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, need not be capitalized, may be written off within a period of not less than one year.

All items of preparatory expense in­volved in the rehabilitation of existing plants, which in accordance with good accounting practice and the regulations of the Bureau of Internal Revenue are' considered depreciable items and the cost of building new plants and moving idle plants to new locations shall be depre­ciated at normal rates applicable to like items. The Administrator may, on ap­plication by the producer, permit the use of a higher than normal rate where he finds that because of particular circum­stances applying to the plant such higher rate is necessary to reflect the probable useful economic life of the plant.

(v) Defense Plant Corporation rentals.(vi) Direct labor cost.(vii) Other manufacturing costs prop­

erly assignable to the incremental out­put. Such costs include indirect labor, factory supplies, repairs and mainte­nance of buildings, machinery, and equipment used in the manufacture of incremental output, insurance, property taxes, purchased utility services, and other items commonly associated with factory operations. They do not include depreciation, amortization of prepara­tory expense, or Defense Plant Corpora­tion rentals.

(viii) Selling and administrative ex­penses. This Includes executive and ad­ministrative salaries, office expense, commissions, and other selling expenses, advertising, and similar items, but does not include other excess profits taxes, or charges to war reserves or reserves for contingencies.

(2) Computation of items specified in subparagraph (1). (i) Item (viii) shall be taken as equal to the average cost for selling and administrative expense per pound of easy processing channel carbon black produced by the producer at^all plants during the first six months of 1944, except that the amount per pound by which the Texas carbon black pro­duction tax applicable to the incre­mental output exceeds 31/2400 may be added to such average cost in those cases where such tax has not otherwise been included in costs.

(ii) Items (i) to (vii), inclusive, shall be based on actual costs sit the new facility during the period covered by the report required in subparagraph (4) be­low, subject to the following exceptions:

(a) For the first report required by subparagraph (4) below, Items (i) to (vii), inclusive, shall be based on an estimate of costs for the period covered by such first report.

(b) In the case of an expanded plant (as defined in paragraph (a) (2) (ii)), Items (vi) and (vii) shall on all reports be taken as equal to the average cost for such items per pound of easy processing channel carbon black produced at that plant during the flr^six months of 1944. In those cases where the weighted aver­age wage rate in the plant has increased over the weighted average wage rate at the plant during the first six months of 1944, the labor costs included in such average cost may be adjusted to reflect such increase. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the average labor cost per pound during the first six months of 1944 by the ratio of the current

13166 FEDERAL REGISTER, Saturday, November 4, 1944

weighted average wage rate to the weighted average wage rate during the first six months of 1944. Any such ad­justment shall be shown separately on the report required in subparagraph (4). No adjustment shall be made on account of increases in wage rates not in accord­ance with War Labor Board regulations.

(c) Where the carbon black producer is also the producer of the gas used, he may use his maximum price for sales of such gas to channel carbon black pro­ducers in determining the cost of gas.

(3) Maximum prices for. sales other than in covered hopper cars. The maxi­mum price for sales by any seller of in­cremental output other than in covered hopper cars shall be the maximum price determined by the producer in accord­ance with subparagraphs (1) and (2) for sales in covered hopper cars, plus the seller’s dollar-and-cents quantity and container differentials established under other provisions of the General Maxi­mum Price Regulation for sales of easy processing channel carbon black. ■

(4) Determination of maximum prices.(i) Maximum prices computed pursuant to subparagraphs (1), (2), and (3) above for incremental output produced in any period shall be determined separately for each new facility upon the basis of'ac­tual operations at that facility during the period. Such maximum prices shall apply to an amount of easy processing channel black sold to Defense Supplies Corporation equal to the incremental output actually produced during the period. Until the end of a period the amount of incremental output to be pro­duced during that period and the maxi­mum prices therefor shall be based on estimated operations during the period. The estimate of output during a period shall be based on expected operations during the period. The estimated price for any calendar month after the first two full calendar months of operation shall be the maximum price determined on the basis of actual operations during the second calendar month preceding the calendar month for which a price is be­ing estimated.

Within 15 days after the end of a pe­riod a report of actual production of in­cremental output during the period and a determination of maximum prices based on actual operations during the period shall be filed in accordance with subdivision (ii) below. The estimated prices shall be adjusted upward or down­ward in accordance with the determina­tion of maximum prices upon the basis of actual operations. If excess payment has been made, whether because of sales at a price in excess of the adjusted price or because of sales of an amount of easy processing channel black in excess of the incremental output actually produced during the period, tfie seller shall refund the excess.

A maximum price so determined on the basis of actual operations shall be subject to disapproval in' writing at any time by the Office of Price Administra­tion, and if a maximum price reported pursuant to this subparagraph (4) is re­vised downward by the Office of Price Administration and if any payment has

been made at a price higher than the price approved by the Office of Price Ad­ministration, the seller shall refund the excess.

(ii) Reports, (a) Prior to making the first delivery of incremental output from a new facility, the producer shall submit a report on OPA Form No. 692-2051 of the output and maximum price on the basis of expected operations during the initial period from the beginning of op­erations through the end of the calendar month following the first full calendar month of operations at the new facility.

(5) Within 15 days after the end of the initial period the producer shall sub­mit a report on OPA Form No. 692-2051 of actual output during the initial period and maximum prices based on actual operations during the period. The adjustment specified in (i) above shall be made for the entire initial period on the basis of this report.

(c) Within 15 days after the end or the first full calendar month of opera­tions and within 15 days after the end of each calendar month thereafter the producer shall file a report on OPA Form No. 692-2051 of the actual output dur­ing the calendar month and the maxi­mum prices based on actual operations during the calendar month. For every calendar month after the initial period, the adjustment specified in (i) above shall be made on the basis of the report of actual operations during that calendar month.

(d) The reports required by this sub­division (ii) shall be filed in duplicate, one copy being mailed to the Chemicals and Drugs Price Branch, Office of Price Administration, Washington 25, D. G.; the other to the Defense Supplies Cor­poration, Washington 25, D. C. Copies of OPA Form No. 692-2051 may be ob­tained from the Office of Price Admin­istration, Washington 25, D. C.

td) Records. (1) Each producer of incremental output shall keep for each new facility, records of the incremental output at that facility and records of the deliveries of incremental output from that facility, showing the name of the buyer, the number of pounds delivered and date of delivery, the containers in which delivered, and the price charged. Such records shall be kept for inspection by the Office of Price Administration for so long as the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942, as amended, remains in ef­fect.

(2) Each producer of incremental out­put shall preserve for inspection by the Office of Price Administration for so long as the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942, as amended, remains in effect, all his" existing records relating to the costs of producing and selling channel carbon black during the first six months of 1944.

(3) Each producer of incremental out­put shall keep books and records relat­ing to the costs of producing incremental output at each new facility and preserve the same for inspection by the Office of Price Administration for so long as the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942, as amended, remains in effect. Such books and records shall set out the costs in the detail customarily used by the producer

for management purposes, but in all cases in sufficient detail to enable verifi­cation of the computation of maximum prices under the provisions of this sec­tion 4.30.

(e) Tolling arrangements. Where in­cremental output of easy processing channel oarbon black is produced for the Defense Supplies Corporation from sup­plemental gas furnished the producer by that corporation, the producer shall de­termine his maximum price for the con­version service in accordance with para­graph (c) of this section, except that in computing a maximum price thereunder no costs shall be included for any items of material or service furnished by the Defense Supplies Corporation. The seller of the conversion service shall keep the records and file the reports required of producers of incremental output by this

/section.This amendment shall become effective

TITLE 46-t-SHIPPING Chapter I—Coast Guard: Inspection and

NavigationVessels Engaged in Business Connected

W ith Conduct of War

WAIVER OF COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN PROVISION

The Acting Secretary of the Navy having by order dated October 1, 1942 (7 F.R. 7979) waived compliance with the navigation and vessel inspection laws ad­ministered by the United States Coast Guard, in the case of any vessel engaged in business connected with the conduct of the war, to the extent and in the man­ner that the Commandant, United States Coast Guard, shall find to be necessary in the conduct of the war;

It appearing, that railroad cars con­taining cotton are being unduly delayed in unloading at compress and storage facilities at points in the States of Ar­kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee, and Texarkana, Texas, thus impeding and diminishing the use, control, supply, movement, distribution, exchange, interchange, and return of

/such cars; in the opinion of the Commis- / sion an emergency exists requiring im­

mediate action to prevent a shortage of equipment and congestion of traffic. It is ordered, that:

(a) Definitions. (1) The word “cot­ton” as used in this order shall mean cotton, not otherwise indexed by name, in bags or in bales not compressed or in compressed bales, defined in the current Consolidated Freight Classification.

(2) The word “permit” as used in this order means an authorization issued by a permit agent, permitting or allowing cotton to be shipped to a point in a state named in this order or to Texarkana, Texas, for storage or for compressing.

(3) The word “application” as used in this order shall mean an oral, tele­phone, telegraph or written request made by any person for a permit to ship cot­ton to a point in a state named in this order or to Texarkana, Texas, for storage or for compressing.

(b) Prohibition on shipping cotton. (1) No common carrier by railroad sub­ject to the Interstate Commerce Act shall furnish or supply a railroad car for loading with cotton which is to be consigned or reconsigned to, move or transport any shipment of cotton in a railroad car consigned or reconsigned to, a point where there is located facili­ties for compressing or storing cotton in the States of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis­sissippi, Missouri, and Tennessee or to Texarkana, Texas, for storage or for compressing, unless such shipment is authorized by a permit issued pursuant to paragraph (c) hereof.

(2) The number of the permit issued pursuant-to paragraph (c) hereof shall be shown on both the bill of lading and waybill covering the shipment of cotton authorized by the permit.

(c) Permits. Upon application from any person, or upon his own initiative without application, the permit agent appointed pursuant to paragraph (d) hereof may in Ms discretion issue a per­mit authorizing shipment of the quan­tity of cotton, as stated in said permit, to a point named in paragraph (b) hereof, for storage and for compressing.

(d) Appointment of permit agents. The Director of the Bureau of Service is hereby authorized to appoint permit agents at each point at which facilities

13168 FEDERAL REGISTER, Saturday, November 4, 1944for compressing or storing cotton are lo­cated, authorizing such permit agent to issue permits pursuant to paragraph (c) hereof subject to such conditions as the Director of the Bureau of Service may prescribe. .

(e) Cotton permit committee. At each point where more than one cotton com­press or storage warehouse is located a committee shall be constituted, consisting of one representative of each compress or warehouse to act as an advisory commit­tee to the Commission’s permit agent ap­pointed pursuant to paragraph (d) hereof.

(f) Exemptions. (i) Shipments of cotton moving from one cotton compress to another cotton compr^s for consoli­dation and reshipment in carloads may be accepted providing the bill of lading and the waybill bears a notation to that effect and refers to this order.

(ii) The provisions of this order shall not be construed to affect in any way General Order ODT 1, or General Order ODT 16B, as amended, issued by the Of­fice of Defense Transportation.

(iii) The provisions of this order shall not apply to shipments of cotton loaded or in transit prior to the effective date of this order.

(g) Intrastate. The provisions of this order shall apply to intrastate as well as interstate commerce. (40 Stat. 101, sec. 402, 41 Stat. 476, sec. 4, 54 Stat. 901; 49 U. S. C. 1 (10)—(17))

It is further ordered, That this order shall become effective at 12:01 a. m., November 6, 1944; that a copy of this order and direction shall be served upon each State Commission; and upon the Association of American Railroads, Car Service Division, as agent of all railroads subscribing to the car service and per diem agreement under the terms of that agreement; and that notice of this order be given to the general public by de­positing a copy in the office of the Sec­retary of the Commission at Washington, D.

(1) When the entire annual output, or a fixed percentage thereof, is sold or de­livered to a single purchaser pursuant to a contract therefor, the lower of either of the following:

(1) The contract price, or(ii) The primary handler’s fluid milk cost,

plus a mark-up of 250 per cwt., f. o. b. pri­mary handler’s receiving or processing plant.

(2) Where a stated quantity but lessthan such entire annual output is sold or delivered to a purchaser pursuant to a contract therefor, the lower of either of the following: , ~

(i) The contract price, or(ii) The primary handler’s fluid milk cost,

plus a mark-up of 300 per cwt., f. o. b. pri­mary handler’s receiving or processing plant.

(3) Where fluid milk in any quantity is sold or delivered to a purchaser for two days or less during any calendar month, and such sale is not made pur­suant to any prior contract between the seller and the purchaser, the primary handler’s fluid milk cost, plus a mark-up of 400 per cwt., f . o. b. primary handler’s receiving or processing plant.

(d) A primary handler is permitted to add to the applicable maximum price specified in paragraph (c) hereof, (1) a charge not to exceed 30 per cwt. for the sale or delivery of such milk in 40 to 47 quart cans, and (2) an additional charge not to exceed 50 per can when such- cans are supplied by such primary handler: Provided, That such additional charges in all cases must be separately shown and separately stated on the in­voice: And provided further, That such additional charges may be made only in

those cases where the purchaser volun­tarily requests the delivery of fluid milk in cans. The primary handler may not, as a condition for the sale or delivery of fluid milk, require the purchaser to re­quest or to take delivery in cans.

(e) For pasteurizing fluid milk a pri­mary handler may add to the applicable maximum price specified in paragraph (c) hereof, a charge not to exceed 150 per can when such milk is sold or de­livered in 40 quart cans, or 170 per cwt. when such milk is sold in 47 quart cans or by the hundredweight: Provided, That such additional charge for pasteurization must be separately shown and separately stated on the invoice.

I if any, between the mark-up the primary handler was entitled to take under para­graph (c) hereof and the mark-up the intermediate handler would be entitled to take on the sale by him if such sale had been made by him as a primary handler.

(h) Every broker taking part in a sale of fluid milk by a primary handler or intermediate handler shall be considered the agent of the seller and the amount paid such broker for such sale plus the amount paid the seller for such sale, shall not exceed the maximum price as estab­lished herein.
