Section 1394.504 Allowance of Mileage.—(a) No occupational mileage shall be allowed by a Board for any purpose specified in paragraph (b) of Section 1394.503 unless 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: Provided^ That each such 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 11 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. (i) An 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 absence of a fixed place of work; 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 condition, 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. (iii) In the event application is made for a Supplemental ration to be used in transporting the applicant or principal user of the vehicle to or from his place of employment where an Organized Transportation Plan (as defined in Ration Order No. 1 (revised) as amended) is in effect and four or more persons are not regularly carried in connection with their occupation in the vehicle for which such application is made, the application must be certified as indicated thereon, by an official in charge of such Organized Transportation Plan. (iv) In the event application is made for a Supplemental ration in order to permit the use of the vehicle for which application is made in the pursuit of an occupation other than a gainful occupation, and four or more persons are not regularly carried in such vehicle in connection with their occupations, the application must be certified as indicated thereon, by a responsible official of the organization for or under the direction of which the work is performed. (b) Upon the basis of the application and such other facts as the Board may require, the Board shall allow mileage for any of the purposes listed in paragraph (b) of Section 1394.503 for which applicant has applied, with respect to which the applicant has established the facts required by paragraph (a) hereof. The Board shall allow only that portion of the claimed mileage (in the absence of a ridesharing 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 467926—42-----------3 12 shall then determine the total average occupational mileage per month required by the applicant and allowed by it for the three-months’ period specified in paragraph (b) of section 1394.503 and shall issue a Supplemental ration, in accordance with the provisions of Section 1394.505, to provide such mileage: 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 1394.506. The Board may allow an average mileage in excess of 470 miles per month only if such excess consists of such preferred mileage. (c) The Board shall deduct from the mileage it allows for a passenger automobile in accordance with, paragraph (b), above, 150 miles per month for each additional passenger automobile (other than a fleet passenger automobile) owned by the applicant or by any person living in his household and related to him by blood, marriage or adoption, if the Board finds that such automobile is available to and adequate for the use of the applicant for the purpose for which the Supplemental ration is sought. No such automobile shall be deemed available to the applicant if it is used, to a substantial extent, for an occupational purpose of another person; nor shall such automobile be deemed available to the applicant during the effective period of a Supplemental ration issued to another person whose mileage allowance was reduced on account of such automobile. Section 1394.505 Issuance of Supplemental Rations.— (a) Supplemental rations shall be issued to provide the total mileage allowed by the Board in accordance with Section 1394.504.

If, on the basis of such report, the Board finds reason to believe that such motor vehicle will no longer be used for a preferred purpose listed in Section 1394.506, it shall notify such holder, in writing, that his right to such ration is to be re-examined. Such notice shall be mailed to such holder at the address shown on his application (or at the address shown on his report), and shall require him to file a new application for a ration within ten (10) days after the mailing date shown on such notice.

Section 1394.1202 Issuance of Further Ration for Use Prior to Expiration Date of Current Ration.—(a) Any person who finds that, due to a change in occupation or in the location of place of business or residence, or other change in circumstances, or due to seasonal variation in the amount of occupational mileage needed, or miscalculation of needs, a ration of any class (other than a Basic ration) issued to him fails to meet his requirements, may apply for a further ration of such class for use prior to the expiration date of 32 his current ration. Such application shall be made in the same manner as the application for the current ration.

(c) If the Board determines that, for one or more of the reasons specified in paragraph (a) of this Section, more mileage is needed or, in the case of a Non-Highway ration, more gasoline is required, than that stated in the application on the basis of which the current ration was issued, it may grant a further ration in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of Section 1394.1204. (d) No further Supplemental ration under Section 1394.505, or Fleet ration under Section 1394.605, shall be granted, pursuant to this Section, which would permit the applicant to exceed the maximum mileage to which he would be entitled under the provisions of paragraph (b) of Section 1394.504, or paragraph (b) of Section 1394.604, as the case may be. Section 1394.1203 Special Cases.—(a) Any person to whom a ration of a class specified in paragraph (b) of this Section has been issued, who finds that the vehicle or vehicles for which such ration was granted cannot be operated for fifteen (15) miles (or, in the case of a motorcycle, for forty (40) miles) or more on a gallon of gasoline, may apply for a further ration for use prior to the expiration of such current ration. (b) Such application shall be made in the same manner as the application for the current ration and may be granted only if such current ration is in one of the following categories: (1) A Class C ration; (2) A Supplemental Class D ration based on an allowed mileage in excess of 470 miles per month; (3) A Class B or D ration, for fleet vehicles, issued pursuant to Section 1394.605.

(d) If the Board determines that the vehicle or vehicles for which application is made are being operated in such fashion as to obtain the maximum mileage per gallon of gasoline reasonably possible, it may grant a further ration in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of Section 1394.1204. (e) No further Supplemental ration under Section 1394.505, or Fleet ration under Section 1394.605, shall be granted, pursuant to this Section, which would permit the applicant to exceed the maximum mileage to which he would be entitled under the provisions of paragraph (b) of Section 1394.504, or paragraph (b) of Section 1394.604, as the case may be. Section 1394.1204 General Provisions.—(a) All of the provisions of Ration Order No. 5A applicable to the issuance of an original ration shall apply to the issuance of a further ration pursuant to Sections 1394.1201, 1394.1202 and 1394.1203, except as otherwise expressly provided in those Sections.

Such redetermination shall be based on the Board’s estimate of the date on which such current ration will be exhausted. The Board shall thereupon note such redetermined expiration date on the application for such current ration and on the coupon books issued therefor. The redetermined date shall be deemed the expiration date of such current ration for all the purposes of Ration Order No. 5A. The further ration shall then be issued in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (c) of Section 1394.1201. GENERAL PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO ISSUANCE OF GASOLINE RATIONS Section 1394.1301 Appearances before Boards.—The Board may require any applicant for a ration to appear before it for examination and to produce such witnesses or evidence as it may deem material.

If the Board (or the registrar) is satisfied that such motor vehicle is currently registered but that no registration card or registration certificate therefor has been issued or is outstanding, it may issue a gasoline ration for such vehicle. Such certification shall be filed with the application for such ration. Section 1394.1303 Notation on Registration Cards.—At the time of issuing a gasoline ration for a registered motor vehicle other than a fleet vehicle, except in the case of a ration issued pursuant to paragraph (d) of Section 1394.705, or subparagraph (3) of paragraph (b) of Section 1394.801, the person issuing such ration shall make a clear notation in ink, indelible pencil, or by typewriter, on the back of the motor vehicle registration card or registration certificate presented by the applicant, showing the date of issuance, the class of ration and the serial number of the ration book (if any) issued. If a ration has been issued on the basis of a temporary registration card or registration certificate, the applicant shall submit the permanent card or certificate, when issued, to a Board, for such notation. If the ration is issued without presentation of a registration card, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b) of Section 1394.1302, no notation need be made at the time of issuance, but the applicant shall submit such card, if and when issued, to a Board for such notation. Section 1394.1304 Notation on Ration Books and Applications.—(a) At the time of issuance of any ration book for a registered motor vehicle, the person issuing such book shall, unless a fleet identification is used as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section, make a clear notation on the cover thereof, in ink, indelible pencil, or by typewriter, of the registration number of the vehicle for which it is issued and of the name and address of the registered owner of such vehicle. The Board shall also make a notation on the cover of such book (other1 than a Basic book) and on the application therefor, of the date on which it becomes valid and of its expiration date. The person to whom a ration book is issued (other than an interchangeable book issued for a fleet vehicle pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section) shall note on such book, in the space provided therefor, the serial number of the Use Tax stamp issued for such vehicle. 35 (b) An applicant for a gasoline ration for fleet vehicles may request the Board to note on the ration books issued, the name or other identification of the fleet, in lieu of the registration number of a, particular vehicle. The Board may grant such request with respect to any vehicles in the fleet which are used interchangeably and which bear a clearly discernible fleet name, identification or designation. Any book on which a fleet identification is noted may be used, interchangeably, for all vehicles in the fleet bearing such identification. (c) At the time of issuance of a Non-Highway ration book, the Board shall make a clear notation on such book in ink, indelible pencil, or by typewriter, of the name and address of the applicant and of the period during which such book shall be valid. Such period shall also be noted on the application. Section 1394.1305 Change in Motor Vehicle Registration Number.—(a) The holder of a ration book issued for a registered motor vehicle (other than a ration book bearing a fleet identification) shall, upon any change in the registration number of such vehicle, submit such ration book either to an appropriate State motor vehicle registration official or to a Board for the purpose of having the notation thereon changed to correspond to the new registration number. The book shall be submitted to such official at the time of issuance of the new registration number, or to such Board within five (5) days thereafter; if such submission is made to a Board, the registration card or registration certificate (or in lieu thereof, an appropriate certification in such form as may be designated by the Office of Price Administration) evidencing the new registration number shall be presented with the book. A State official to whom such book is presented may, and a Board to which such book is presented shall, obliterate the registration number appearing thereon and note thereon, in ink, indelible pencil, or by typewriter, the new registration number issued for such vehicle. Notation on such new registration card shall also be made, as prescribed in Section 1394.1303. Such notation shall be countersigned or initialed by the person making the change. (b) The holder of any book bearing a fleet identification shall, upon any change in the name, identification or designation of such fleet, submit such book to the Board which issued it for appropriate modification. Upon ascertaining the new name, identification or designation of such fleet, the Board shall change the designation on such book to correspond thereto. (c) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize the continued use of a ration book after a change in ownership of the vehicle for which it was issued. (d) Any alteration on the face or cover of any ration book, unless made and countersigned by a person authorized to do so under 36 Ration Order No. 5A, shall render such book, and the coupons therein, invalid.
