REVISED TIRE RATIONING REGULATIONS
and THE TIRE RATIONING GUIDE
The Revised Regulations include;
The Tire Rationing Regulations of February 19, 1942, brought up to date by inclusion of Amendments 1 through 16.
THE REGULATIONS AND AMENDMENTS ARE PUBLISHED AS THEY WERE WRITTEN. HOWEVER, IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE SECTIONS ON ORGANIZATION IN CHAPTER II HAVE BEEN SUPERCEDED BY ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 4 AND ADMINISTRATIVE LETTER NO. 3. LOCAL RATIONING BOARDS ARE NOW KNOWN AS WAR PRICE AND RATIONING BOARDS. STATE DIRECTORS HAVE IN MOST STATES SUCCEEDED STATE RATIONING ADMINISTRATORS. ACCORDINGLY WHERE THE TEXT OF THE REGULATIONS REFERS TO LOCAL RATIONING BOARDS THE READER IS ASKED TO SUPPLY THE TITLE “WAR PRICE AND RATIONING BOARD!’ WHERE THE TEXT REFERS TO STATE RATIONING ADMINISTRATOR THE READER SHOULD SUPPLY THE TITLE “ STATE DIRECTOR0’, IN THOSE STATES WHERE STATE DIRECTORS HAVE BEEN APPOINTED
The Tire Rationing Guide includes:
(1)	The important interpretations, of the Tire Rationing Regulations as Amended, approved by the Washington Office of O.P.A.
(2)	General and specific guides for use in applying the Regulations to specific cases.
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
First consult the Regulations. The section numbers are in general the same as those used in the revision of February 19, 1942. A more complete table of contents is provided to make it easier to locate pertinent provisions.
Then always consult the Guide. The Guide paragraphs are printed on yellow paper to distinguish them from the Regulations. They are the results of our experience to date in applying the Regulations to thousands of specific fact situations. You may find there the answer to your particular problem. The paragraphs in the Guide are binding until reversed.
But be careful not to misapply the Guide paragraphs. Always ask yourself these questions:
(1)	Is my case exactly like the one described in the Guide?
(2)	Is the case referred to in the Guide governed by local facts which do not apply in my case?
(3)	Is the statement in the Guide absolute or is it qualified?
The Guide paragraphs are arranged according to the applicable section of the Regulations. For example, if you are interested in Section 405 (d) (2) dealing with vehicles used exclusively to maintain necessary public police services, look in the Guide under that section for appropriate Guide paragraphs. If your situation is not covered by the Guide, you must pass on it by applying the Regulations only.
If you have any doubt as to the meaning of the Regulations or of the Guide, pass your question on to the nearest O.P.A. District Office or State Office.
Importance of War Price and Rationing Boards
About 98 percent of our normal supply of crude rubber comes from the Far East. Interruptions in communications and adoption of the “scorched earth" policy resulting from the Japanese attack probably mean elimination of the Far East as a source of supply for a long time to come. We must rely therefore on our stock pile of this vital material which has been accumulated for just such an emergency.
The stock pile contains the largest amount of rubber ever held in the United States, but it would be exhausted in a few months if normal civilian consumption were allowed to continue.
The foundation of the whole rationing system is the War Price and Rationing Boards. These Boards are inducted into the Federal Service of the Office of Price Administration and are charged with the patently important duty of distributing the supply of rubber tires to cover the most essential need, in their communities. On the justice and foresight with which they fulfill their duties will depend the success of the country in meeting the grave emergency confronting it.
Each Board will be given a monthly quota, which will determine the number of new or recapped tires available to the community it serves.
The Regulations require persons seeking to purchase tires to apply to the Boards for permission to purchase tires. Application forms are necessarily fairly elaborate and detailed. Upon the basis of the information given in them, the Boards must decide whether the applicant needs tires for a reason sufficiently important to the community to justify giving him a share in the all-important supply of rubber.
If the Board has tires available under its quota and decides that the application is warranted, it will grant the applicant a certificate entitling him to purchase tires.
But the present shortage of rubber will leave some of even the most vital needs unsupplied. Should the situation change for the better, adjustments in the quotas and the eligible classes will quickly be made. Until such time, however, many persons eligible to receive tires under the provisions of the Regulations will, in fact, go without. To the extent that the Boards use their power wisely, apply the standards in these Regulations fairly, and refuse applicants who can get along without tires, the hardships which the community must bear will be lessened. But if the Boards fail to act with the most exacting care and fail to give each application for a tire the most rigorous scrutiny, some essential need will go unsatisfied: some truck bearing supplies to an industrial plant producing for the Army or Navy will be unable to move for lack of tires; some doctor will be unable to reach a dying patient.
The responsibilities of the Boards are very great. The Nation has every confidence that American citizens who give their time without compensation to serve on the Boards will continue to discharge their duties f aithfully.

(b)	Where a Board believes that because of sudden and immediate emergency the public interest requires that it issue a certificate for the purchase of a new tire or a tube or a retreaded or recapped tire in excess of its partial quota as provided in paragraph (b) of Sec. 305, but within its over-all monthly quota, the Board may make immediate application to the State Rationing Administrator for permission to issue the certificate, setting forth the full facts of the case. The State Rationing Administrator may designate the specific number of new tires or tubes or retreaded or recapped tires for which such certificate may be issued, but in no case shall any blanket authority to exceed such partial quota be granted. This designation shall not increase the monthly quota of the Board.
(c)	Where a Board believes that the public interest requires that it issue a certificate for the purchase of a new tire or tube or a retreaded or recapped tire in excess of its over-all monthly quota, the Board may make application to the State Rationing Administrator for authority to issue such certificate, setting forth the full facts of the case. The State Rationing Administrator at his discretion may draw upon the State reserve provided for by paragraph (c) of Sec. 302 to augment the quota of such Board for the month involved to the extent necessary to the granting of such certificate. In no case shall the State Rationing Administrator grant blanket authority to exceed a monthly quota, and in no event shall he authorize the granting of a certificate for the purchase of new tires or tubes or retreaded or recapped tires in excess of the quota held in the State reserve under his control.

(i)	Any wholesaler may transfer new tires or tubes in exchange for a certificate authorizing such transfer issued by a Board to any consumer who purchased, leased or otherwise acquired new tires or tubes direct from such wholesaler’s warehouse during the calendar year 1941. This restriction shall not apply when the wholesaler makes such transfer to a consumer from the separate premises of its company-owned retail outlet.
(ii)	Any wholesaler may lease new tires or tubes in exchange for a certificate authorizing such transfer issued by a Board to any transportation system regularly engaged in the business of transporting passengers by bus.
(3)

Sec. 402. Eligibility of List A Vehicles for New Tires and Tubes, Retreaded or Recapped Tires.
(a)	The Board may issue a certificate authorizing the transfer of a new tube, or a certificate authorizing the transfer of a retreaded or recapped tire, or the purchase of retreading or recapping services, to an applicant who satisfies the requirements of paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section.
(b)	The Board may issue a certificate authorizing the transfer of a new tire to an applicant who satisfies the requirements of paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section if, but only if:
(1)	The applicant establishes that the tire for which application is made is to replace a tire which is not capable of being retreaded or recapped or which cannot be retreaded or recapped for safe use at the speeds at which the applicant may reasonably be expected to operate.
(c)	An applicant must establish that the tires for which application is made are to be mounted on a passenger automobile included in paragraphs (a) to (e), or a vehicle other than a passenger automobile included in paragraphs (c) to (h) of Sec. 405 fList A).
(d)	An applicant must establish:
(1)	That, if the vehicle to be equipped is a passenger automobile, it cannot be replaced by another passenger automobile owned or operated by, or subject to the control of the applicant, which is equipped with serviceable tires or tubes and which is capable of being, but is not, fully employed for one or more of the purposes specified in paragraphs (a) to (e) inclusive, of Sec. 405. If the vehicle to be equipped is a vehicle other than a passenger automobile, the applicant must establish that it cannot be replaced by another vehicle owned or operated by, or subject to the control of the applicant, which is equipped with serviceable tires or tubes and which is capable of being, but is not, fully employed for one or more of the purposes specified in paragraphs (c) to (h) inclusive, of Sec. 405.
(2)	That the tire or tube for which application is made is to replace a tire or tube used by the applicant and that such tire is not serviceable or must be recapped or retreaded without delay or that such tube cannot be repaired. On and after June 1, 1942, a Board may not issue a certificate for a tire to an applicant who seeks to replace a tire carcass which cannot be retreaded unless the applicant can est'ablish to the satisfaction of the Board that the carcass which he seeks to replace became unusable from circumstances not resulting from the applicant’s abuse or neglect.
(i)	Except where the applicant applies for a spare tire, certificates may be granted only for replacement purposes and not to provide original equipment for any new vehicle.
(ii)	If the applicant has tires or	tubes in his possession	at	the	time of
his application, and the tires are still serviceable,	and	do	not require immediate retreading or	recapping, or the tubes	can	be	repaired,
he fails to establish that he	needs tires or tubes at	the	time he
makes application, and he must be denied a certificate. On and after June 1, 1942, a Board may not issue a certificate for a tire to an applicant who seeks to replace a tire carcass which cannot be retreaded unless the applicant can establish to the satisfaction of the Board that the carcass which he seeks to replace became unusable from circumstances not resulting from the applicant’s abuse or neglect. Granting or denial of a certificate under these conditions will be at the discretion of the Board with regard to the loss which the community will suffer if the applicant is denied tires. Where the community would suffer no serious loss if the applicant were denied tires, because other persons can provide the same service, or for other reasons, the Board may refuse to grant tires to replace such damaged tires.
(3)	That the tire or tube for which application is made, when added to all other tires or tubes of suitable sizes in the applicant’s possession, whatever their
11
Sec. 402 (d) (3) (cont. )
condition, and whether unmounted or mounted on a vehicle, will not add up to more than one spare tire of a given size for each vehicle eligible under paragraphs (a) to (h) of Sec. 405: Provided, That if the applicant is regularly engaged in dealing in tires, the requirements of this paragraph can be satisfied by showing that all his tires or tubes already in use are, if of suitable size, in use on vehicles included in paragraphs (a) to (h) and no such vehicle is equipped with more than one spare of a given size.
(i)	If the applicant is not in the tire business, he cannot be granted a certificate if granting such a certificate would result in his having more tires or tubes than are necessary for the operation of vehicles included in paragraphs (a) to (h) of Sec. 405. Therefore, if the applicant already has enough serviceable tires or tubes of a size suitable to equip each of the vehicles he owns or controls eligible under those paragraphs, he must use such tires or tubes on such vehicles, even if that means taking the tires or tubes off vehicles not included in those paragraphs. If the applicant has unusable tires or tubes, he must dispose of them, so that they will be available as rubber scrap. Unless and until the applicant takes all these steps, no certificate can be issued to him.
(ii)	If the applicant is in the tire business, since his inventories of tires cannot be used by him without a certificate, as provided in Sec. 801 (b) (1), he may satisfy the requirements of this paragraph (d) (3) by showing that all of his tires already in use are, if of a size suitable for use on the vehicle to be equipped, in use on vehicles included in paragraphs (a) to (h) of Sec. 405.
(4)	If the applicant desires authority to purchase a passenger type new tire of six or more ply construction, that the vehicle upon which the new tire is to be mounted cannot be satisfactorily operated in the use to which it is to be put with a tire of less than six ply construction.
(5)	That the applicant agrees to trade in any tire or tube in his possession replaced by the tire or tube purchased with any certificate granted him, or, if the applicant purchases a tire or tube from a mail order house, that the applicant will, within five days from receipt of such tire or tube, sell the replaced tire or tube to a person dealing in tires.
(i)	Tires or tubes replaced must be transferred to the person from whom new tires or tubes, retreaded or recapped tires are purchased, or in the case of purchase from a mail order house, to any person dealing in tires.
(ii)	If the applicant has tires or tubes in his possession at the time of his application, and the tires are still serviceable and do not require immediate retreading or recapping, or the tubes can be repaired, he fails to establish that he needs tires or tubes at the time he makes application, and he must be denied a certificate.
(Hi) This paragraph (d) (5) does not apply when the applicant can establish to the satisfaction of the Board that he has no tires to turn in because the tires which are to be replaced have been stolen or if the applicant is a government agency forbidden by law to make such disposition of Government property, or for any similar reason, or if the applicant purchases a spare for a vehicle which was acquired by him without a spare as a part of its original equipment.
Sec. 403. Eligibility of Retreaders and Recappers for Tubes.--
(a)	Any person who owns, operates or controls a retreading or recapping mold may file with the Board having jurisdiction over the area in which such mold is located, an application for authority to purchase new tubes for use solely in retreading or recapping. Such application shall be filed on O.P.A. Form No. R-l, except that the applicant need not fill in items 6 to 14 inclusive, on such form. The applicant shall, in addition, file with his application a supplementary statement under oath, setting forth the following information:

(4)	That the applicant does not have more than one serviceable air bag or tube of the required size for each mold owned, operated or controlled by him, and that the tube applied for is necessary to the operation of the mold.
12
Sec. 403 (a)	(5) That the applicant will trade in the air bag or tube to be replaced on a new
(c0Bt’1	tube purchased with the certificate for which application is made.
(6)	That the applicant intends to and will use the new tube purchased with the certificate solely for retreading or recapping.
(b)	The certificates issued under this Section shall be charged against the Board’s quota for tubes. No Board shall issue certificates authorizing the purchase in any one calendar month of more than two tubes for each mold in .its jurisdiction.
(c)	O.P.A. Form No. R-2 shall be the certificate used in authorizing the purchase of tubes by retreaders or recappers. When issuing the certificate the Board shall cause to be written across the face of each part of such certificate the words “ For tubes to be used solely in retreading or recapping, ” which shall be initialed by the members of the Board who sign the certificate.

Sec. 404. (Deleted by Amendment).--
Sec. 404a. Eligibility of List A Vehicles for Emergency Stocks of Tires and Tubes.- -
(a)	Anything in these Regulations to the contrary notwithstanding, the Board may issue emergency or regular certificates to enable any person who owns, operates, or controls a vehicle or vehicles which meet the requirements of paragraph (b) of this Section to establish an emergency reserve or to maintain an allowable stock of tires and tubes for such vehicle or vehicles.
(b)	An applicant must establish:
(1)	That all vehicles other than passenger automobiles which he owns or operates or which are subject to his control are employed exclusively for one or more of the purposes specified in paragraphs (c) to (h) of Sec. 405;
(2)	That the vehicle or vehicles are eligible under Sec. 405 (List A);
(3)	That over 50% of the vehicle’s mileage results from regular operations in runs of more than fifty miles from the closest source controlled by the applicant at which tires and tubes are available for his immediate use, and more than fifty miles from the place where such vehicle is garaged or normally stationed;
(4)	That the vehicle or vehicles are owned by a State, or are owned or operated by an operator of motor vehicles who has a certificate of public convenience and necessity, as a common carrier, issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission, or by an operator of motor vehicles who has a permit as a contract carrier issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
(i)	An Interstate Commerce Commission certificate or permit holder may apply only for those trucks and busses which he owns.
(ii)	An owner of trucks and busses who is not an Interstate Commerce Commission certificate or permit holder may apply for an emergency reserve of tires and tubes based only on those trucks and busses which are under a six months* or longer lease arrangement for exclusive use by an Interstate Commerce Commission certificate or permit holder.

(i)	For the purposes of this computation a dual wheel is to be treated as two wheels.
(ii)	An applicant who has increased the number of his eligible vehicles may apply to the Board for an emergency reserve o' tires and tubes based on the increase in the number of his vehicles. There is no requirement to trade in or sell any tire or tube because of the increase in his allowable stock of tires and tubes since this is not a replacement but an addition to his stock.
(c)	An applicant who has been found by a Board to be entitled to an emergency reserve of tires and tubes under paragraph (b) of this Section may apply for authorization to purchase a new tire or tube, a retreaded or recapped tire, or retreading or recapping services in order to replenish his allowable stock of tires and tubes. The Board may issue to such applicant at his election, either regular certificates on O.P.A. Form No. R-8 for retreaded or recapped tires or retreading or recapping services, or
13
404a (c) emergency certificates on O.P.A. Form No. R-20 for new tires and tubes. Separate certificates must be issued for tires and tubes. Whichever type of certificate the applicant elects to receive, he must present, in addition to meeting all the requirements of paragraph (b) of this Section, a certification by an inspector on O.P.A. Form No. R-21 for each tire or tube to be replaced under the certificate for which application is made. If the applicant elects to take a regular certificate or certificates on O.P.A. Form No. R-8, he must conform to the trade-in requirements of Secs. 402 (c) (5), 404 (c) (4) or 501 (d) (4). If the applicant elects to take an emergency certificate or certificates, he must at the time his application is filed or at any time prior to the time the certificate is delivered to him, deliver to the Board a proof of sale on O.P.A. Form No. R-22 for each tire and tube to be replaced under the certificate for which application is made.

CHAPTER V
RETREADED AND RECAPPED TIRES AND NEW PASSENGER TIRES OF AN OBSOLETE TYPE FOR VEHICLES ELIGIBLE UNDER LIST B
Sec. 501. Eligibility of List B Passenger Automobiles for Retreaded or Recapped Tires or for New Grade II Tires. --
(a)
(1)	The Board may issue a certificate authorizing the holder to accept delivery of retreaded or recapped tires for a passenger automobile or to obtain retreading or recapping services for a tire for a passenger automobile to an applicant who meets the requirements of paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this Section.
(2)	The Board may issue a certificate authorizing the holder to accept delivery of a new Grade II tire for a passenger automobile to an applicant who meets the requirements of paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this Section if, and only if, the applicant establishes that the tire for which application is made:
(i)	is to be mounted on a passenger automobile employed for a purpose included in subparagraph (7) of paragraph (a) of Sec. 504; and
(ii)	is to equip a vehicle purchased without tires, or the tires of which have been stolen, or is to replace a tire which is not capable of being retreaded or recapped, subject to the provisions of Sec. 501 (d)(2)(iii).
A Board issuing a certificate, under this Section, authorizing the holder to accept delivery of a new Grade II tire for a passenger automobile shall mark or write upon Parts A and B of such certificate the following statement: “Valid for new Grade II tires only”.
(b)	Any person applying for a certificate under this Section must establish that the tires for which application is made are to be mounted on a passenger automobile used principally for one or more of the purposes included in paragraph (a) of Section 504 (List B).
(c)	An applicant must establish:
(1)	That without the passenger automobile to be equipped, transportation service is not available to the applicant.
(i)	The Board may not issue certificates under this Section if the applicant can secure transportation by any method without using the vehicle for which tires are sought. The applicant may show that the transportation services for which he uses his vehicle are not otherwise available to him by showing (a) that no public transportation system reaches the areas to which he must go to carry on his business or occupation; or (b) that public transportation services do not function at the times when it is necessary for the applicant to travel; or (c) that public transportation will not enable him to do his work because of the necessity of carrying material and equipment; or (d) that the public transportation facilities are already too heavily loaded to afford the applicant transportation service. The applicant should also be required to show that he regularly transports other persons to work with him or that he has exhausted the possibilities of doubling up with persons employed at the same place or with persons who travel the same route. If the applicant fails to show these and such other facts as will establish to the satisfaction of the Board that he would be unable to secure transportation if he did not get the tires for which he applies, he must be denied a certificate.
(ii)	As applied to taxis, jitneys, and similar vehicles, this paragraph can be satisfied by showing (1) that other public transportation facilities are inadequate to serve the community because of a shortage
20
Sec- 501 (c) (1)	of streetcars, busses, or similar vehicles capable of transporting
(iil (coat.)	large numbers of people at once, or (2) that other public transporta-
tion facilities do not reach important areas of the community where taxi service has been normally a necessary part of the mass transportation system rather than a luxury service.
(2)	That the transportation service rendered by such passenger automobile is essential to the applicant for the efficient execution of one or more of the purposes included in paragraph (a) of Sec. 504.
(i)	Unless the applicant satisfies the Board that it will be impossible for him otherwise to perform services listed in paragraph (a) of Sec. 504, he must not be granted a tire. The proof which the applicant must present to satisfy the Board will vary with the nature of the applicant’s business or occupation. To the extent that public transportation facilities will enable the applicant to carry on his affairs, or to the extent that the applicant’s business or occupation can be carried on by correspondence or by telephone, transportation service rendered by a passenger automobile is not essential, and a certificate for tires for such an automobile should not be granted.
(3)	That such passenger automobile will, when equipped with the tires for which application is made, render services sufficiently valuable to the community and the Nation to justify the use of rubber in its operation, in view of the critical shortage in the total rubber supply and the size of the quota from which allotments of tires must be made to all other applicants qualified under this Section.
(i)	Before the Board may issue a certificate under this Section, it must be satisfied that the applicant is rendering a service essential to the community and the Nation, whether or not the applicant himself needs his car for business or for other reasons. Unless the applicant can prove that the services which his automobile enables him to render are indispensable to the community and the war effort, no certificate shall be granted to him, regardless of whether the Boarc has exhausted its quota.
(ii)	Certificates must be granted by the Board with a view to the very large number of persons who may apply and the very small quota whicl -	can be made available in any month for such persons. The Board
should, whenever possible, apportion its quota so that it will have certificates to insure continued transportation for employees of plants vital to the war-production effort.
(Hi) In deciding among applicants for the limited quota, the Board shall be guided not only by the nature of the services which the applicant renders but also by the extent to which others who do not require tires can render such services, and the extent to which the automobile to be equipped will be confined to use for services specified in paragraph (a) of Sec. 504 and will provide transportation for more than one person performing services included in that subsection.
(iv) To determine whether an applicant employed at a plant essential to the war effort should be granted a certificate under this section, the Board may make such inquiry as it deems necessary at the applicant’s place of employment. Inquiry may be made, when desirable, with respect to the possibility that such plant can establish a comprehensive transportation plan for its workers which would increase the amount of “doubling-up”, or the possibility that the plant can provide for the transportation of employees in busses or similar vehicles from central points to the place of employment.
(d) Any person applying for a certificate under this Section must establish:
(1)	That the passenger automobile upon which the tire is to be mounted cannot be replaced by a passenger automobile owned or operated by, or subject to the control of, the applicant which is equipped with serviceable tires and which is capable of being, but is not, fully employed for one or more of the purposes specified in paragraphs (a) to (d) of Sec. 405 (List A) or paragraph (a) of Sec. 504 (List B).
(i) If the applicant owns, operates, or controls passenger automobiles equipped with serviceable tires, other than that for which retreaded or recapped tires are requested, be must show that all such passengei
21
501 (d) ij (coat. )
automobiles capable of being used for the purposes for which tires are requested are fully employed for purposes specified in paragraphs (a) to (d) of Sec. 405 or paragraph (a) of Sec. 504. If an applicant fails to establish this fact, he fails to establish that he needs tires to perform services listed in those paragraphs and he must be denied a certificate.
(2)	That the tire for which application is made is to replace a tire used by the applicant and that such tire is not serviceable or must be recapped or retreaded without delay. On and after June 1, 1942 a Board may not issue a certificate for a tire to an applicant who seeks to replace a tire carcass which cannot be recapped, unless the applicant can establish to the satisfaction of the Board that the carcass which he seeks to replace became unusable from circumstances not resulting from the applicant’s abuse or neglect.
(i)	Except when the applicant applies for a spare tire, certificates may be granted only for replacement purposes and not to provide original equipment for any vehicle.
(ii)	If the applicant has tires in his possession at the time of application and such tires are still serviceable and do not require immediate retreading or recapping, he fails to establish that he needs tires at the time he makes application, and he must be denied a certificate.
(Hi) On and after June 1, 1942 a Board may not issue a certificate for a tire to an applicant who seeks to replace a tire carcass which cannot be retreaded, unless the applicant can establish to the satisfaction of the Board that the carcass which he seeks to replace became unusable from circumstances not resulting from the applicant’s abuse or neglect. Granting or denial of a certificate under these conditions will be at the discretion of the Board with regard to the loss which the community will suffer if the applicant is denied tires. Where the community would suffer no serious loss if the applicant were denied tires, because other persons can provide the same services, or for other reasons the Board may refuse to grant tires to replace such damaged tires.
(3)	That the retreaded or recapped tire, or the tire to be retreaded or recapped, for which application is made, when added to all other tires of suitable size in the applicant’s possession, whatever their condition, whether mounted or unmounted on a vehicle,	will	not add	up	to moje	than one spare tire of a given
size for each vehicle	used	for one	or	more of	the purposes specified in para-
graphs (a) to (h) of Sec. 405, or paragraph (a) of Sec. 504: Provided, That if the applicant is regularly	engaged	in	dealing	in tires, the requirements of this
paragraph (d) (3) can	be satisfied	by	showing	that all of his tires already in
use are, if of suitable size, in use on vehicles included in paragraphs (a) to (h) of Sec. 405 or paragraph (a) of Sec. 504, and that no such vehicle is e-quipped with more than one spare tire of a given size.
(i)	If the applicant is not engaged in the tire business, he is not entitled, under this Sec. 405, to more tires than are necessary for the operation of vehicles included in paragraphs (a) to (h) of Sec. 405 or paragraph (a) of Sec. 504. Therefore, if the applicant already has enough tires for all the vehicles he owns which are eligible under those subsections, he must use such of those tires as are of a suitable size on passenger automobiles eligible under this Section, even if that means taking tires off vehicles not included under paragraphs (a) to (h) of Sec. 405, or paragraph (a) of Sec. 504.
(ii)	If the applicant is engaged in the tire business,since his inventories of tires cannot be used by him without a certificate, he may satisfy the requirements of this paragraph (d) (3) by showing that all of his tires already in use are, if of suitable size, in use on vehicles eligible under paragraphs (a) to (h) of Sec. 405 or paragraph (a) of Sec. 504.
(4)	That the applicant agrees to trade in any tires replaced in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 402 (d) (5).
Sec. 502. Eligibility of List B Trucks for Retreaded or Recapped Tires. --
(a)	Within the limits prescribed by paragraph (c) of Sec. 603 and paragraph (d) of Sec. 610 with respect to the filing of applications and the granting of certificates, the Board
22
Sec. 502 (a) may issue a certificate, authorizing the holder to accept delivery of a retreaded or recapped tire or to have a tire owned by him retreaded or recapped, to an applicant who meets the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Sec. 502.
(b)	Any person applying for a certificate under this Section must establish that the truck to be equipped with the tires for which he applies is a truck included in paragraph (b) of Sec. 504.
(1) Unless the applicant can establish that the truck to be equipped is a truck used for an important purpose (although not included in paragraphs (c) to (h) of Sec.405) the applicant cannot satisfy the requirements of this paragraph. In deciding whether a truck is important for the purpose of granting a certificate, the Board must consider the relative importance of the transportation needs in the community which must be served, including needs for transportation service in war industries not elsewhere provided for. The uses for which certificates may be issued will depend on the nature of the needs of the particular community, to be determined, for example, by the distances over which essential retail milk and other food deliveries must be made, the extent to which some purposes can be served by horse-drawn wagons, and similar factors. Before granting a certificate under this Section, the Board must consider not only whether the applicant should be preferred to other eligible applicants in distributing the limited number of certificates available within the quota, but also whether the vehicle is sufficiently important to the Nation and the community to justify the use of rubber to keep it in operation.
(c)	Any person applying for a certificate under this Section must establish:
(1)	That the truck upon which the tire is to be mounted cannot be replaced by a truck owned or operated by or subject to the control of the applicant which is equipped with serviceable tires and which is capable of being, but is not, fully employed, for one or more of the purposes specified in paragraphs (c) to (h) of Sec. 405 or paragraph (b) of Sec. 504.
(i)	If the applicant owns, operates, or controls trucks equipped with serviceable tires, other than the truck for which retreaded or recapped tires are requested, he must show that all such trucks capable of being used for the purposes for which tires are sought are fully employed for purposes specified in paragraphs (a) to (h) of Sec. 405 or paragraph (b) of Sec. 504. This will require a showing that all of the applicant’s trucks are fully employed and that each one which is capable of performing the service for which tires are sought is performing a service important to the community and the Nation. If an applicant fails to establish this fact, he fails to establish that he needs tires to perform services listed in those paragraphs and he must be denied a certificate.
(2)	That the tire for which application is made is to replace a tire used by the applicant- and that such tire is not serviceable or must be recapped or retreaded without delay. On and after June 1, 1942 a Board may not issue a certificate for a tire to an applicant who seeks to replace a tire carcass which cannot be recapped, unless the applicant can establish to the satisfaction of the Board that the carcass which he seeks to replace became unusable from circumstances not resulting from the applicant’s abuse or neglect.
(i)	Except when the applicant applies for a spare tire, certificates may be granted only for replacement purposes and not to provide original equipment for any vehicle.
(ii)	If the applicant has tires in his possession at the time of application and such tires are still serviceable and do not require immediate retreading or recapping, he faijs to establish that he needs tires at the time he makes application, and he must be denied a certificate.
(Hi) On and after June 1, 1942 a Board may not issue a certificate for a tire to an applicant who seeks to replace a tire carcass which cannot be retreaded, unless the applicant can establish to the satisfaction of the Board that the carcass which he seeks to replace became unusable from circumstances not resulting from the applicant’s abuse or neglect. Granting or denial of a certificate under these conditions will be at the discretion of the Board with regard to the loss which the community
23
.502 (c)
(iii) Dt. )
will suffer if the applicant is denied tires. Where the community would suffer no serious loss if the applicant were denied tires, because other persons can provide the same services, or for other reasons the Board may refuse to grant tires to replace such damaged tires.
(3)	That the retreaded or recapped tire, or the tire to be retreaded or recapped, for which application is made, ‘when added to all other tires of suitable sizes in the applicant’s possession, whatever their condition, whether unmounted or mounted on a vehicle, will not add up to more than one spare tire of a given size for each vehicle eligible under paragraphs (a) to (h) of Sec. 405 or paragraphs (a) and (b) of Sec. 504; provided that if the applicant is regularly engaged in dealing in tires this paragraph (c) (3) can be satisfied by showing that all of his tires already in use are, if of suitable size, in use on vehicles eligible under paragraphs (a) to (h) of Sec. 405 or paragraphs (a) and (b) of Sec. 504, and that no such vehicle is equipped with more than one spare of a given size.
(i)	If the applicant is not in the tire business, he is not entitled to more tires than are necessary for the operation of vehicles included in paragraphs (a) to (h) of Sec. 405 or paragraphs (a) and (b) of Sec. 504. Therefore, if the applicant already has enough tires of a suitable size for each of the vehicles he owns eligible under paragraphs (a) to (h) of Sec. 405 or paragraphs (a) and (b) of Sec. 504, he must use such tires on such vehicles, even if that means taking tires off vehicles not included in those paragraphs. If the applicant has unusable tires, he must dispose of them so that they will be available as rubber scrap. Unless and until the applicant takes all these steps, no certificate can be issued to him.
(ii)	If the applicant is engaged in the tire business, since his inventories of tires cannot be used by him without a certificate, he can satisfy the requirements of this paragraph (c) (3) by showing that all of his tires in use are, if of a suitable size, in use on vehicles eligible under paragraphs (a) to (h‘) of Sec. 405 or paragraphs (a) and (b) of Sec. 504, and that none of such vehicles is equipped with more than one spare of a given size.
(4)	That the applicant agrees to trade in any tires replaced in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 402 (d) (5).
Sec. 503. Eligibility of List 4 and List B Passenger Automobiles for New Passenger Tires of an Obsolete Type. --
(a)	The Board may issue a certificate authorizing the holder to accept delivery of new passenger tires of an obsolete type, as defined in paragraph (d) of this Section, to an applicant who establishes that he satisfies the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section.
(b)	The applicant must establish that the vehicle to be equipped is a passenger automobile included in paragraphs (a) to (d) of Sec. 405 or paragraph (a) of Sec. 504.
(c)	The applicant must establish:
(1)	That the passenger automobile upon which the tire is to be mounted cannot be replaced by a passenger automobile owned or operated by, or subject to the control of the applicant, which is equipped with serviceable tires and which is capable of being used for the purposes for which application is made but is not fully employed for a purpose specified in paragraphs (a) to (d) of Sec. 405 or paragraph (a) of Sec. 504.
(i)	If the applicant owns, operates, or controls vehicles equipped with serviceable tires, other than the automobile for which the obsolete-type tires are requested, he must show that all such automobiles capable of being used for the purposes for which tires are sought are fully employed for the purposes specified in paragraphs (a) to (d) of Sec. 405 or paragraph (a) of Sec. 504. If an applicant fails to establish this fact, he fails to establish that he needs tires to perform the services listed in those paragraphs, and he must be denied a certificate.
(2)	That the tire for which application is made is to replace a tire no longer serviceable at the speeds at which the applicant may reasonably be expected to operate.

24
Sec. 503 (c)	(i) 1». is not necessary, under this paragraph (c) (2), to show that the
(2)	cont.	tire to be replaced cannot be retreaded or recapped, since these Regu-
lations contain no provision authorizing the retreading or recapping of passenger tires of an obsolete type.
(3)	That the tire for which application is made, when added to all other tires of suitable sizes in the applicant’s possession, will not add up to more tires than are permitted by the provisions of Sec.’501 (d) (3).
(4)	That the applicant agrees to trade in any tires replaced in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 402 (d) (5).
Sec. 503a. Eligibility of List B Vehicles for Tubes. --
(a)	Anything in these Regulations to the contrary notwithstanding, the Board shall accept applications from, and may issue certificates for new tubes, within the limits of its applicable quotas, to:
(1)	Applicants who own, operate or control passenger automobiles which are eligible under Sec. 504 (a), subject to the terms and conditions specified in Secs. 501, 603 (b), 606 and 610 (c), for the issuance of certificates for retreaded or recapped tires, or retreading or recapping services;
(2)	Applicants who own, operate or control trucks eligible under Sec. 504 (b), subject to the terms and conditions specified in Secs. 502, 603 (c), 606 and 610 (d), for the issuance of certificates for retreaded or recapped tires, or retreading or recapping services.
(b)	In cases where the Board authorizes an applicant eligible under Sec. 504 (List B) to purchase tubes, the Board shall immediately issue to such applicant, not in excess of its applicable quota for the entire month, a non-transferable certificate for the purchase of tubes only, on O.P.A. Form No. R-2.

(i) Certificates may be issued under paragraph (a) (1) for passenger automobiles, used principally to provide jitney, taxi, or similar services, licensed by an appropriate governmental authority to transport the general public, but only for such vehicles operating in areas where streetcars, busses, and similar large transportation units are inadequate to meet the needs of the public. Such facilities may be inadequate because of a shortage of suitable equipment or because they do not extend to outlying areas which use taxi service as a normal means of mass transportation and not as a luxury service.
(ii)	Certificates may not be granted under paragraph (a) (1) for passenger automobiles which are rented, with or without chauffeurs, for the exclusive use of individuals rather than for taxi, jitney, or similar service to the general public.
(2)	Transportation of persons to enable them to render construction or mechanical, structural, or highway maintenance and repair services.
(i)	Certificates may be granted under this paragraph to persons who require automobiles to transport them between places where construction or mechanical, structural, or highway maintenance and repair services are needed.

If passengertype tires of the same size as those for which he is applying are on sale, he shall be granted a certificate for permission to purchase such tires. For the purpose of determining whether there are passenger-type tires of the same size on sale, the Board shall refer to any standard manufacturer’s price list for passenger-type tires.
Sec. 609. Allotment by the Board upon Applications for New Passenger Tires of an Obsolete Type. --
The Board shall grant a certificate for permission to purchase new passenger tires of an obsolete type to an applicant applying for such tires for a vehicle eligible under paragraphs (a) to (d), inclusive, of List A or paragraph (a) of List B and who satisfies the requirements of Sec. 503.

(c)	The Board shall grant certificates, not in excess of its applicable quota for the entire month, authorizing the purchase of new Grade II tires to be mounted on passenger automobiles eligible under subparagraph (7) of Sec. 504 (a) when the applicant has satisfied the requirements of Sec. 501.
Sec. 610a. Allotment by the Board upon Appi icat io'n to Establish or Maintain an Emergency Reserve of Tires and Tubes.

Form No. R-19 filed after May 15, 1942, shall be charged against the Board’s applicable quota of tires and tubes for the month in which the certificates are granted.
*
Sec. 611. Basis for Board Consideration. --
(a)	If the Board has before it applications for new tires (not of an obsolete type) or new tubes which in its judgment satisfy all the requirements of these Regulations but which together call for the allotment of new tires (not of an obsolete type) or new tubes in excess of the applicable quota of the Board, the Board shall be governed, in determining which of the competing needs are to be satisfied, by the relative importance from the standpoint of locally known circumstances, to the war program, public safety, health, and morale, of the operation of a vehicle in one use as compared with the importance of the operation of a vehicle in another use.
The determination as to whether or not all such facts and conditions exist shall be made upon the basis of the application and all other information which comes to the knowledge of the Board. In acting upon applications, the Board shall observe all Regulations herein contained and all additional Regulations from time to time hereafter issued by the Office of Price Administration. The Board shall at all times serve the objectives sought to be accomplished by the tire rationing program and allocate new tires and tubes to the most vital civilian uses and to uses essential to the war effort. The Board may, in its discretion, request the applicant or his authorized representative to appear in person at a designated time at the office of the Board to answer pertinent questions.
(b)	If the Board has before it applications for retreaded or recapped tires, or for retreading or recapping services, which in its judgment satisfy all the requirements of these Regulations but which together call for an allotment in excess of the Board’s quota for retreaded or recapped passenger tires, or retreaded or recapped tires for other vehicles, the Board shall be governed in determining which of the competing needs are to be satisfied, by considerations such as the following: (1) Is the applicant justified in using his automobile in preference to some other mode of transportation; (2) what is the relationship of the applicant to the war effort; and (3) what is the relative importance from the standpoint of locally known circumstances, of the operation
34
Sec. 611 (b) (cont. )
of a vehicle in one use as compared with the operation of a vehicle in another use?
The Board need not limit itself to an examination of these considerations alone, but should also attempt to govern its allotments by such variable factors as the' amount of its quota in each month, and the nature of the community itself, as,for example, whether there are defense plants in the vicinity which can be reached only by automobile. As a further example, the eligibility of taxis under paragraph (a) of List B may depend on such facts peculiarly within the knowledge of the Board, as a sudden increase in population overburdening public transportation systems in the community. In other communities the Board will be aware that taxis are a luxury means of transportation and therefore not essential. The Board must keep in mind and must impress upon applicants that the supply of rubber for retreading or recapping tires is extremely limited and that it is not sufficient for the applicant to show only that he comes within one of the eligibility classifications in order for him to receive a certificate. Whenever the Board is not fully convinced by the applicant’s case it should refuse to grant a certificate for permission to retread or recap tires, even though in that month the Board’s quota may not be exhausted.
Sec. 612. Notation of Reasons for Action. --
When the Board determines that an application shall be granted, the reasons therefor shall be noted upon the application, together with the number and type of tires or tubes allotted to the applicant.
In all cases where an application is refused, the reasons for such refusal shall be noted upon the application.

CHAPTER VIII
TRANSFERS AND DELIVERIES OF NEW TIRES AND TUBES, RETREADED OR RECAPPED TIRES, AND CAMELBACK
Sec. 801. Permitted and Prohibited Transfers of New Tires and Tubes.--
(a) Prohibit ions.--Except as provided in Secs. 401, 804, and paragraphs (c), (d), (e), and (f) of this Sec. 801 of these Regulations, no person shall transfer a new tire or tube, and no person shall accept any such transfer of a new tire or tube.
(i)	The word “ transfer” is very broadly defined. It includes not only transfers by a sale, lease, or trade of a new tire or tube, but also by gift from one person to another and includes the transfer of any legal or equitable right or interest in any tire or tube. Again, it applies to any transfer from one person to another even though no change in “ title** is involved. For example, unless expressly authorized by these Regulations, transfers may not be made of new tires or tubes to a person by a dealer even though the person had previously bought and paid for the tires or tubes. Similarly, tires or tubes imported into this country and held in customs at a point of entry may not be released to the claimant unless he is authorized by these Regulations to accept them.
(ii)	Unless specifically exempted, all physical transfers involving a change in the location or use of tires or tubes are included. Thus, if a dealer in tires or tubes removes a tire from his stock and mounts it on a vehicle owned by him, a transfer has occurred within the meaning of these Regulations. Furthermore, a change in physical location involving a movement of a tire from one establishment to another is a transfer, although routine shifts in stock within a single building are not transfers within these Regulations. It should be noted, however, that freedom to move tires and tubes is expressly permitted by paragraph (c) of Sec. 801 in a wide number of cases.
(Hi) The prohibition in paragraph (a) applies to all new tires and tubes whether such new tires and tubes are at the date of this order already manufactured or whether such new tires and tubes are manufactured in the future.
(b)	Restriction on Transfers From Stocks to Vehicles.--
(1)	Except as provided in paragraph (b) (2) no person who on December 11, 1941, or at any time thereafter was a retailer, distributor, wholesaler, or manufacturer of new tires or tubes may mount any new tire or tube on any vehicle owned, operated, or controlled by him or otherwise transfer such tire or tube to his own use unless such person possesses a certificate issued to him by a Board authorizing him to purchase or otherwise acquire such tire or tube for the vehicle upon which it is to be mounted. The instructions set forth in Secs. 705 and 706 in regard to the certificate should be followed.
(2)	A manufacturer of new tires or tubes may mount new tires and tubes on a vehicle owned by him or otherwise subject to his control which is used exclusively for testing such tires and tubes and not in connection with any other use.
(c)	Permitted Transfers by Certain Persons.--
(1)	Except as provided in paragraph (b) of Sec. 801, any person who on December 11, 1941 was not a retailer, distributor, wholesaler, or manufacturer may transfer any new tire or tube which was owned and physically possessed by him prior to December 11, 1941, including the placing of such tire or tube upon the wheel or rim of any vehicle owned or operated by him, provided no change in ownership, possession, or control occurs.

The transfers of new tires or tubes which such person will be permitted to make or receive in any particular premise are controlled by the provisions of these Regulations applicable to the function performed on those premises.
(2)	By a wholesaler.--Subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) (4) and (5) relating to certificates and records, any wholesaler may transfer new tires or tubes to any retailer, distributor, or wholesaler.
(3)	By a manufactor er.--Subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) (4) and (5) relating to certificates and records, any manufacturer may transfer new tires or tubes to any retailer, distributor, wholesaler, or manufacturer; provided that no manufacturer shall after February 19, 1942, during any month of any calendar year transfer to retailers and distributors owned, operated, or controlled by such manufacturer new tires and tubes of a wholesale dollar value amounting to a larger percentage of his total wholesale dollar value of new tires and tubes transferred for such month than the percentage of his total wholesale dollar value of new tires and tubes transferred to retailers and distributors owned, operated, or controlled by him during the year 1941.
(i)	Example.--During the year 1941, X, a manufacturer of new tires and tubes, sold or otherwise transferred a total wholesale dollar value of new tires and tubes amounting to $1,000,000. He sold or otherwise transferred to retailers and distributors owned, operated, or controlled by him a wholesale dollar value of new tires and tubes amounting to $250,000, or 25 percent. If during February of 1942 his total wholesale dollar value of new tires and tubes sold or otherwise transferred amounted to $80,000, he may in that month sell or transfer to retailers and distributors owned, operated, or controlled by him a wholesale dollar value of new tires and tubes amounting to not more than 25 percent of $80,000, or $20,000.

(i)	Any retailer, distributor, wholesaler, or manufacturer using the certificate or receipt to replenish his stock may purchase the number of new tires or tubes specified thereon and is not required to purchase new tires or tubes of the same size or of the same type, except that the replenishment portion of a certificate which is marked “valid for new Grade II tires only” shall entitle the holder thereof to obtain new Grade II tires only.
(ii)	Any retailer, distributor, wholesaler or manufacturer who is authorized to sell or otherwise transfer a new tire or tube to a consumer may forward, with the consumer’s permission, when he does not have such tire or tube in stock, the replenishment portion (pt.B) of the certificate for new tires or tubes or the replenishment portion (pt.B) of a receipt for new tires or tubes to a supplier and obtain the number of new tires and tubes specified thereon for delivery to the consumer.

ELIGIBILITY, GENERAL
SECTION
402 - 405 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
APPLICATION OF INTERPRETATIONS.
SPACE DOES NOT PERMIT EXTENDED DISCUSSION OF ALL THE ELEMENTS BEARING ON ELIGIBILITY OF INDIVIDUAL VEHICLES. REFERENCE WILL BE MADE TO DECISIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN REACHED IN CASES IN WHICH ELIGIBILITY QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN RAISED. GENERALLY, ONLY A BRIEF STATEMENT OF THE TYPE OF SERVICE RENDERED BY THE APPLICANT CAN BE GIVEN. CONSEQUENTLY, THE READER SHOULD NOT ACCEPT THE INTERPRETATIONS PRESENTED AS BEING CONCLUSIVE IN ALL CASES INVOLVING APPLICANTS RENDERING SIMILAR SERVICES. IT MUST BE BORNE IN MIND THAT THE ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES DEPENDS UPON LOCAL TRANSPORTATION CONDITIONS AND OTHER FACTORS UPON WHICH LOCAL BOARDS ARE BEST QUALIFIED TO RULE. THAT A DECISION IN FAVOR OF ELIGIBILITY IS REACHED IN ONE CASE DOES NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE THAT A DIFFERENT DECISION IN ANOTHER LOCALITY WOULD BE INCONSISTENT OR INCORRECT. IT CAN BE SAID GENERALLY, HOWEVER, THAT WHERE CERTAIN SERVICES ARE LISTED HEREIN AS INELIGIBLE, SIMILAR SERVICES WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE IN OTHER LOCALITIES.
THE KEY PHRASES OF THE REGUlATIONS WHICH HAVE GIVEN RISE TO MOST OF THE PROBLEMS OF ELIGIBILITY ARE SET FORTH IN THE HEADINGS WHICH FOLLOW. IN LISTING THE INDIVIDUAL INTERPRETATIONS REFERENCE WILL ORDINARILY NOT BE MADE TO REQUIREMENTS WHICH APPEAR IN THE HEADINGS. WHERE A STATEMENT APPEARS THAT A VEHICLE USED FOR A CERTAIN PURPOSE IS ELIGIBLE, THE READER SHOULD REFER TO THE HEADING TO ASCERTAIN THE REQUIREMENTS AS TO TYPE OF VEHICLE AND EXTENT OF USE REQUIRED.
ELIGIBILITY OF ALIENS.
AN APPLICANT WHO SATISFIES THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS OF THE REGULATIONS IS NOT RENDERED INELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE SOLELY BY THE FACT THAT HE IS AN ENEMY ALIEN.
402 (d) (l) VEHICLES SUBJECT TO CONTROL OF APPLICANT.
THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A VEHICLE OWNED BY THE APPLICANT’S WIFE OR OTHER MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY IS SUBJECT TO HIS CONTROL SO AS TO RENDER HIM INELIGIBLE FOR TIRES FOR HIS OWN VEHICLE, SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY THE LOCAL BOARDS ON A FACTUAL, RATHER THAN A LEGAL BASIS. A STRONG PRESUMPTION THAT THERE IS SUCH CONTROL EXISTS IN THE FIRST INSTANCE, SUBJECT TO BE REBUTTED ONLY BY PROOF OF AN OBJECTIVE NATURE THAT IN FACT TliE USE OF THE OTHER VEHICLE HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN UNAVAILABLE TO THE APPLICANT. SUCH PROOF MIGHT CONSIST OF A SHOWING THAT THE OWNER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE USES IT CONSTANTLY FOR ELIGIBLE PURPOSES WITHIN THE REGULATIONS* PREVIOUS USE OF THE OTHER VEHICLE BY THE APPLICANT WOULD STRENGTHEN THE PRESUMPTION THAT IT WAS UNDER HIS CONTROL.
402 (d) (I) PROOF OF NEED FOR TIRES-
WHERE A VEHICLE, USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR ELIGIBLE PURPOSES, IS IDLE ONLY TEMPORARILY OR SEASONALLY IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REMOVE ITS TIRES TO PROVIDE TIRES FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR WHICH APPLICATION FOR TIRES IS BEING MADE IF THE SECOND VEHICLE IS TO BE USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR ELIGIBLE PURPOSES.
