[Ration Order. No. 5 C, Mileage Rationing : Gasoline Regulations] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov] Form OP A R-540 (Revised) MILEAGE RATIONING: GASOLINE REGULATIONS Ration Order No. 5C Title 32—NATIONAL DEFENSE Chapter XI—OFFICE OF PRICE ADMINISTRATION OFFICE OF PRICE ADMINISTRATION WASHINGTON, D. C. CONFIDENTIAL: This printed copy should not be made public until the regulations have been officially issued and released. RATION ORDER NO. 5C MILEAGE RATIONING: GASOLINE REGULATIONS Preamble.—The Office of Price Administration has been directed by the Rubber Director to carry out the recommendations contained in the report of the President’s Special Committee to Study the Rubber Situation. The Committee stated: “We are faced with certainties as to demands : with grave insecurity as to supply. Therefore, this Committee conceives its first duty to be the maintenance of a rubber reserve that will keep our armed forces fighting and our essential civilian wheels turning. This can best be done by ‘bulling through’ the present synthetic program and by safeguarding jealously every ounce of rubber in the country.” The recommendations of the Committee include: “1. Immediate institution of a tire replacement and recapping program with the allocation of reclaimed rubber for that purpose. “2. Nation-wide gasoline rationing to hold the average annual mileage to 5,000 miles * * * “3. Prompt and strict enforcement of a Nation-wide speed limit not exceeding thirty-five miles an hour * * * “4. Compulsory periodic tire inspection.” This Ration Order No. 5C has been adopted pursuant to the direction of the Rubber Director to complement the Mileage Rationing: Tire Regulations (Ration Order No. 1A). Wear and destruction of tires now in use must be reduced by curtailing the national average automobile mileage to a maximum of 5,000 miles per year. To accomplish this purpose, the Committee recommended: “That a new rationing system of gasoline be devised, based on this 5,000 miles a year to save tires. “That the restrictions as to gasoline and mileage be national in their application.” (ni) IV The Committee said: “Gas rationing is the only way of saving rubber. Every way of avoiding this method was explored but it was found to be inescapable. This must be kept in mind: The limitation in the use of gasoline is not due to shortage of that commodity—it is wholly a measure of rubber saving. That is why the restriction is to be Nation-wide. Any localized measure would be unfair and futile.” The Mileage Rationing: Gasoline Regulations (Ration Order No. 5C) control the use and acquisition of gasoline as a means to conserve rubber and to maintain our transportation system. To safeguard against violation of the fundamental scheme, control is extended to gasoline generally, whether or not for motor vehicles. Control over commercial motor vehicle mileage is shared jointly by the Office of Defense Transportation and the Office of Price Administration. The mileage to be driven by, and accordingly the amount of wear of tires used on, trucks, busses, taxis, and other like vehicles used for transporting property or available for hire or rental will be determined by the Office of Defense Transportation, and evidenced by Certificates of War Necessity setting forth the maximum mileage and gasoline gallonage allowed for the vehicles operated. On the basis of such Certificates, local War Price and Rationing Boards will issue Transport rations, filling the requirements of such vehicles up to the maximum fixed by the Certificate. The Office of Price Administration, through its local War Price and Rationing Boards, will regulate the use and allowable mileage of passenger automobiles. All passenger automobiles, with certain exceptions, will receive a small, Basic, mileage allowance, in order, primarily, to prevent casting all persons normally using such facilities on to public transportation systems not equipped to handle tremendously increased loads. The private passenger automobile is, in this sense, an integral and indispensable part of the Nation’s system of transportation. Above this Basic ration, mileage will be allowed for occupational uses of the vehicle. But this supplemental allowance is strictly tailored in accordance with . need. Moreover, carrying out the program of the Committee that essential driving be given first place, a maximum allowance of 470 miles per month is placed upon the occupational use of vehicles. The list of those users who may be allowed mileage above this maximum is limited to those who use their vehicles for purposes essential to the war effort or to the civilian economy. Certain exceptional, non-occupational, necessary motor vehicle uses, such as the procuring of food and supplies, or medical care are recognized and Special rations are allowed for such purposes. Further, V since the desire for conservation of gasoline is not the chief factor motivating these Regulations, gasoline rations for purposes not involving wear of rubber tires are given virtually without restriction, to meet the demonstrated requirements of the user. However, passenger car rations are not issued unless the applicant has disposed of all idle tires which he owns, so that they may be available to meet the present needs of others. No one should be permitted to withhold an idle tire from use when that tire may be necessary to avoid deprivation of another’s transportation. There should be no tires which are not either in use, immediately available for use, or in process of being made usable. Finally, in order more effectively to serve the end desired, the allowance of gasoline for motor vehicle use is made dependent, as is the issuance of tires, upon use of the vehicle in a manner best calculated to conserve its tires. Thus, periodic tire inspections, observance of a 35 mile per hour maximum speed limit, and avoidance of abuse and neglect of tires, are made prerequisite to continuance of any ration issued. By these means and through control of the motive power of rubberusing vehicles, the vital rubber supply of this country will be utilized for purposes most essential to the public welfare, and will be made to last, if possible, beyond the period of critical shortage. There is, of course, no assurance that the rubber supply situation in the future will not require further curtailment and enforce conservation of tire use. To a great extent, this will depend upon whether the driving public will alter and restrict its driving habits, and conserve to the utmost extent the tires now in use. The Committee said: “Let there be no doubt that only actual needs, not fancied wants, can, or should, be satisfied. To dissipate our stocks of rubber is to destroy one of our chief weapons of war. We have the choice I “Discomfort or defeat. There is no middle course.” Accordingly, pursuant to the authority vested in me by War Production Board Directive No. 1, issued January 24,1942, and by Supplementary Directive No. 1—, issued October —, 1942, It is hereby ordered.

Section 1394.7704 Allowance of Mileage.—(a) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section occupational mileage shall be allowed by a Board for a purpose specified in paragraph (b) of Section 1394.7703 if the applicant establishes, in connection with the use of the vehicle for that purpose, either: (1) That a bona fide ride-sharing arrangement has been made pursuant to which at least four persons (including the operator) will regularly be carried in the vehicle for the purpose of going to and from or carrying on their occupations and that transportation is needed for such purpose: Provided, That each person must certify to his participation in the ride-sharing arrangement by signing the application; or (2) That no such ride-sharing arrangement .could reasonably be made but that the vehicle carries as many persons as could reasonably be expected in the light of the circumstances in which and the purpose for which it is used; that transportation is needed for such purpose; and that no alternative means of transportation are available which would be reasonably adequate for such purpose. 15 (i) Ah applicant may establish that four or more persons cannot regularly be carried in the vehicle for which application is made by showing: the limited capacity of the vehicle; the necessity of traveling at unusual or irregular hours; the necessity of traveling over routes not feasible for other persons who might be carried; or such other reasons as the Board may find sufficient. (ii) An applicant may establish the lack of reasonably adequate alternative means of transportation by showing the unavailability of other public or private means of transportation; or by showing that such alternative means, if available, are inadequate by reason of location, schedules or overcrowded conditions, by reason of physical disability of the person needing transportation, by reason of the nature of the work for which transportation is needed, or 'for such other reasons as the Board may find sufficient.

The Board shall allow only that portion of the claimed mileage (in the absence of a ride-sharing arrangement) with respect to which the applicant has established the inadequacy of alternative means of transportation (in accordance with paragraph (a) (2) (ii) of this section). The Board shall then determine the total occupational mileage per month required by the applicant and allowed by it for the three-months’ period specified in paragraph (b) of Section 1394.7703 and shall issue a Supplemental ration, in accordance with the provisions of Section 1394.7705, to provide such mileage: 488524°—42-------4 16 Provided, That the Board may not allow an average of more than 470 miles per month for any occupational mileage other than preferred mileage as defined in Section 1394.7706.

(c) A Board having jurisdiction over an area which is adequately served by subway, elevated railroad, or railroad commutation service shall allow mileage claimed with respect to which a ride-sharing arrangement has been made only if the applicant establishes that the use of such subway, elevated railroad, or railroad commutation service would not be reasonably adequate for the purpose for which such mileage is claimed.

Section 1394.8216 Certification of Shortage.—Dealers and intermediate distributors shall be permitted from time to time to apply by certification (on Form OP A R—549) for replenishment for losses of gasoline through evaporation, handling, accident, or other extraordinary circumstance, and for unavoidable loss of coupons or other evidences. The certification of shortage shall be submitted to the Board having jurisdiction of the area in which such dealer or intermediate distributor has the place of business to which the shortage is to be attributed, and shall show the nature and quantity of such shortage with a full explanation of the reasons therefor. If, on consideration of the certification presented and of such other facts as it may require of the applicant, the Board finds that the applicant has incurred the shortages claimed, that such shortages were not incurred as a result of any acts performed in violation of Ration Order No. 5A or 50, and that any claimed shortage of gasoline is reasonable, the Board shall file the certification and issue to the applicant a quantity of inventory coupons equal to the amount of the proven shortage. A copy of the certification may be retained by the dealer or intermediate distributor for his records. RECORDS AND AUDITS Section 1394.8217 Records To Be Kept by Dealers and Intermediate Distributors.—At the time of making any delivery of gasoline to any dealer or intermediate distributor, every distributor shall furnish to such dealer or intermediate distributor an invoice, delivery ticket, or other customary evidence of transfer, showing the name and address of the transferee and the date and quantity of the transfer; and every such transferee shall retain at his place of business for a period of at least one year from the date of his receipt of such gasoline the invoice, delivery ticket, or other evidence so furnished him.

Gasoline which has been shipped and billed in 76 exact amount to a transferee during a calendar month, and which is included by the licensed distributor in the State motor fuel tax report for such month, shall be treated both by the transferor and transferee as gasoline transferred during such month, even though actual receipt of such gasoline by the transferee may take place during the following calendar month. (b) The licensed distributor shall also prepare in triplicate a Reconciliation Statement (Form OP A R-550), reconciling the difference between the gallonage value of the exchange certificate so submitted and the total gallonage disposed of by him as reported by the tax return. He shall attach the original and one copy of the reconciliation form to the additional copy of his tax report, and shall retain the other copy of the reconciliation form at'his place of business for a period of not less than one year; Provided, however, That, where special hardship results from the necessity of submitting the reconciliation form at the time that the State motor fuel tax report is due, application may be made, showing all relevant facts, to the Office of Price Administration, Washington, D. C., for leave to defer, for a period of not more than ten (10) days, the submission of the additional copy of his motor fuel tax report, the attached certificate, and the reconciliation form. (c) Any licensed distributor who is not required by the State to which he is required to account for State motor fuel taxes to include his monthly opening and closing gasoline inventories in his motor fuel tax return shall take a physical inventory of his gasoline on hand at the beginning or ending of each month, and shall include in such inventory all gasoline in transit and billed to him. Such distributor, in addition to other information which may be required, shall include such monthly opening and closing gasoline inventories on the reconciliation form prepared by him. (d) Licensed distributors required to make reports pursuant to Ration Order No. 5A for the month of November, 1942, shall make one combined report for such month including all transactions during such month covered by Ration Order No. 5A and Ration Order No. 5C. Licensed distributors not required to make reports pursuant to Ration Order No. 5A shall not make a separate report under Ration Order No. 5C for the month of November, 1942, but shall include all transactions from November 22 through November 30, 1942 in their report for the month of December, 1942, in accordance with the provisions of this section. Section 1394.8219 Audit by State Motor Fuel Tax Administration.—On completion of its usual office audit of a licensed dis- 77 tributor’s monthly motor fuel tax report, each State motor fuel tax administration will by authorized signature either verify or note errors on the additional copy of the tax report received by it, will inspect the reconciliation form and attached exchange certificate in order to determine whether there are any apparent irregularities, and will retain the copy of the reconciliation form for its own files. .
