SURPLUS WAR PROPERTY ADMINISTRATION
REGULATION NO. 1
SCOPE OF REGULATION
This first regulation is designed primarily to advise Federal agencies which possess or control property which is in excess of their needs as to the forms and procedures to be followed in declaring such property surplus and as to the relative duties and responsibilities of such agencies and of the disposal agencies with respect to property so declared surplus. It does not deal in detail with the methods and policies to be followed by the disposal agencies, either in redistributing the property to other Federal agencies or in disposing of it elsewhere, nor with the financial and accounting responsibilities of the disposal agencies.
This regulation by its terms is applicable to all Federal agencies and to all property possessed or controlled by them which they determine to be surplus. However, because of the urgency and magnitude of the problems involved in the disposition of surplus war property of the War and Nayy Departments and the Maritime Commission, including termination inventories, this regulation is primarily directed at these problems and is being made effective at this time because of the urgent need for action with respect thereto. This regulation is therefore being made effective at the present time with respect only to surplus war property of the War and Navy Departments and of the Maritime Commission.
Other owning agencies will continue practices heretofore existing under Executive Order No. 9235 with respect to the declaration *and disposition of surplus property, until such time as this regulation shall be made effective with respect to them. Because of the large number of agencies and the wide variety of types of property involved, the Surplus War Property Administration may vary or supplement this regulation in making it effective in the future with respect to surplus war property of agencies other than the War and Navy Departments and the Maritime Commission.
This regulation shall become effective with respect to surplus war property of the War and Navy Departments and of the United States Maritime Commission on May 15, 1944.

I.	Designation of Disposal Agencies
A.	Procurement Division, Treasury Department. There is hereby assigned to the Procurement Division of the Treasury Department for disposition all surplus war property of the classes set forth under its name in Exhibit I to this regulation. Such classes of property are herein called consumer goods and are the only classes of property which the Administration deems it feasible so to assign.
B.	Reconstruction Finance Corporation. There is hereby assigned to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for disposition all surplus war property of the following classes:
(1)	All industrial real property of every character other than that disposed of under part IC, IE or IF hereof, including buildings and fixtures.
(2)	Such personal property, including machinery and other equipment, materials, and products finished or in process as are reported as surplus to Reconstruction Finance Corporation by the owning agency as an integral whole in conjunction with the plant or other real property where they are located, and as should in the judgment of Reconstruction Finance Corporation be disposed of as a unit. If not so disposed of, such personal property is hereby assigned to the disposal agency otherwise appropriate hereunder.
(3)	The classes set forth under its name in Exhibit I to this regulation.
The foregoing classes of property are herein called capital and producers’ goods. In disposition, Reconstruction Finance Corporation may act directly or through any of its subsidiary corporations, created pursuant to Section 5d (3) of the Reconstruction Finance Act, as amended, designated by it. Except as above stated, the Administration does not deem it feasible to assign property for disposition to a subsidiary of Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
4
C.	United States Maritime Commission and Navy Department. There is hereby assigned to the Maritime Commission for disposition all surplus war property of the following classes:
(1)	Shipyards, repair yards, marine terminals and similar marine real property including buildings and fixtures. If, however, the Maritime Commission shall determine that any such property should not be disposed of for the purpose of making it available for use in connection with building, repair, or operation of ships, such property Shall constitute industrial real property and be assigned to Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
(2)	Such personal property, including machinery and other equipment, materials and products finished or in process as are reported as surplus to the Maritime Commission by the owning agency as an integral whole in conjunction with the maritime real property where they are located, and as should in the judgment of the Maritime Commission be disposed of as a unit for maritime use. If not so disposed of, such personal property is hereby assigned to the disposal agency otherwise appropriate hereunder.
(3)	The classes set forth under its name in Exhibit I to this regulation, except as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph.
The foregoing classes of property are herein called ships and maritime property. The Administration does not deem it feasible to assign to the Maritime Commission, and therefore assigns to the Navy Department, for disposition (a) ships under the cognizance of the Navy Department which fall into the categories of combat ships or naval auxiliaries, other than those based on commercial designs or susceptible of commercial usage, and (b) such property of classes set forth under the name of the Maritime Commission in Exhibit I to this regulation as appertains to or forms an integral part of a ship disposed of by the Navy Department.
D.	War Food Administration.- There is hereby assigned to the War Food Administration for disposition all surplus war property of the classes set forth under its name in Exhibit I to this regulation. Such classes of property are herein called food and are the only classes of property which the Administration deems it feasible so to assign.
E.	National Housing Agency. There is hereby assigned to the National Housing Agency for disposition all surplus war property of the class of housing property (including such community facilities financed through the Federal Works Agency as are located on the sites of housing projects) other than that under the control and jurisdiction of the War Department or the Navy Department.
F.	Federal Works Agency. There is hereby assigned to the Federal Works Agency for disposition all surplus war property of the class of community facilities financed through such Agency, other than those located on the sites of housing projects.
G.	Foreign Economic Administration. There is hereby assigned to the Foreign Economic Administration for disposition all surplus war property, of whatsoever nature, located outside the continental United States, its territories and possessions.
5
H.	Property Unassigned. Surplus war property not covered by the foregoing assignments, including in particular real property not covered by parts IB, IC, IE and IF, will be assigned by subsequent regulation. Pending such regulations owning agencies are authorized to exercise existing powers of disposition, keeping the Administration currently advised of their plans, policies and procedures with respect to such disposition.
I.	Exceptions. There is excepted from the foregoing assignments all surplus war property of which, by part III of this regulation or by other regulation or policy statement of the Administration, owning agencies are authorized to make disposition.
J.	Transfers. By arrangements authorized or approved by the Administration, property initially assigned to one disposal agency hereunder may be reassigned to another for disposition.
II.	. Procedures for Reporting Surpluses
A.	Property to Be Reported. Except as to unassigned property and surplus war property of which, by part III of this regulation or by other regulation or policy statement of the Administration, owning agencies are authorized to make disposition, all property of any agency which is determined by such agency to be surplus, as provided in Executive Order No. 9425, shall be reported as herein set forth.
B.	When Reports Filed. All such surplus war property will be reported as herein set forth immediately upon the determination by the owning agency that such property is surplus.
C.	Where Reports Filed. (1) Real Property: (a) All surplus real property assigned in part I of this regulation, including plants, buildings and fixtures, will be reported to the disposal agency designated in part I for the disposition thereof. Reports to the Maritime Commission will be reported to the appropriate office of that agency listed in Exhibit II to this regulation. Reports to any other disposal agency for real property, including Reconstruction Finance Corporation, will be sent to its central office in Washington, D. C.
(b)	In reporting as surplus real property, or properties comprising both realty and personalty which, in the judgment of the owning agency, can best be disposed of as an integral whole, the owning agency shall submit for each unit a completely itemized and descriptive inventory docket within which the personal property involved shall be fully described and listed in conformity with the major groups (two digits) of the Standard Commodity Classification set forth in Exhibit I to this regulation. Brief preliminary reports, presenting the major characteristics of such properties, should be submitted as far in advance of their actually becoming surplus as is possible.
(c)	Whenever a property unit comprising both real and personal property has been reported pursuant to paragraph (b) above, and the disposal agency for the real property determines that any of the personal property can best be disposed of separately, such disposal agency will report such personal property to the disposal agency designated therefor under part I.
6
(2) Personal Property: (a) Where Reports Filed. With the exception of personal property included in reports of real estate under paragraph 1 (b) above, all surplus personal property will be reported to the appropriate office of the disposal agency designated therefor in part I, for the region in which the property is located; Exhibit II to this regulation lists all such offices and the regions covered by them; provided, however, that where it proves impracticable to make a sufficiently complete segregation of the various classes of property involved in termination inventories or supply property of the Army or Navy to permit the reporting of each such class to the proper disposal agency, this regulation shall be deemed to be complied with if termination inventory property is reported to the appropriate regional office of Reconstruction Finance Corporation and supply property to the appropriate regional office of the Procurement Division of the Treasury Department, where any necessary segregation and forwarding to another disposal agency will take place; all such reports shall nevertheless comply with the requirements of paragraph 2 (b) below. Pending further regulations, reports of surpluses located abroad shall be made to the central office of the Foreign Economic Administration in Washington, D.C., or elsewhere as agreed upon by that Administration and the owning agency.
(b) Forms. All reports of surplus war property which is personal property shall, except as set forth in part II C (1) (b), be made on Forms SWPA-1 and SWPA-1 (a) set forth in Exhibit III to this regulation. Such forms shall be used in the manner set forth in the instructions forming a part of such Exhibit.
III.	Responsibilities of Owning Agencies
A.	Maintenance of Inventories. Owning agencies are urged to establish as promptly as practicable and maintain currently their inventory records in accordance with the Standard Commodity Classification described in Exhibit I.
B.	Determination of Surplus. Each owning agency will determine what property in its possession or control is surplus, until and unless the Office of War Mobilization shall exercise the applicable authority referred to in Executive Order No. 9425. Particularly during the current phase of the war, owning agencies are urged to exercise the utmost diligence in ascertaining the existence of surpluses and declaring them promptly for disposition. Accordingly, it shall be the responsibility of each owning agency to hold only such property as may be essential for the prosecution of its programs. Through agency procedures inventories shall be reduced to these required levels by declaring as surplus all unneeded items not hereby authorized to be sold by the owning agency.
C.	Sales by Owning Agencies. To the extent that surplus war property coming within the scope of this regulation is involved therein, owning agencies are authorized to dispose, or authorize contractors to dispose, of property without declaring it as surplus, in the following situations, to the full extent that such disposition is provided for or permitted by law:
(1)	Termination Inventories. Termination inventories may be disposed of during the course of the termination proceed
7
ings, in accordance with the policies set forth in the Administration’s letter to the major procuring agencies and Statement of Policies to be Followed by Government Agencies in the Sale of Contract Termination Inventories, both dated April 21, 1944.
(2)	Nominal Quantities. Owning agencies may sell single items or groups of items, when the cost of all substantially similar items which are surplus at any one location does not exceed $1,000.
(3)	Scrap and Salvage. Pending the issuance of specific regulations governing scrap sales of property other than termination inventories, property which is damaged beyond economical repair, and waste, scrap, salvage and other comparable items, may be sold by owning agencies. Such sales shall be made in conformity with the policies to procedures set forth in part IV of the Administration’s Statement of Policies to be Followed by Government Agencies in the Sale of Contract Termination Inventories, dated April 21, 1944, where applicable, or in conformity with established salvage procedures or manuals of the owning agencies, if such procedures or manuals have been filed with the Administration. Sales of scrap by owning agencies shall be reported to the appropriate regional office of Reconstruction Finance Corporation (whether or not such scrap constitutes termination inventory) in such manner and at such times as that Corporation shall direct. That Corporation shall promptly advise the Administration of any situation in which scrap sales in any area are at such unsatisfactory price levels that sales should be stopped. That Corporation shall likewise, at the earliest possible moment, provide a system of local or regional consultants upon whom the representatives of the owning agencies can call for advice and assistance on questions concerning the scrapping of property and the marketing of scrap.
(4)	Property Located Outside the United States.
(a)	In active theaters of operation. Military and naval commanders in active theaters of operation may sell or otherwise dispose of any surplus property within their control.
(b)	General. Owning agencies, pending further regulations, may sell surplus property in localities outside the continental United States, its territories and possessions where the Foreign Economic Administration has no local representative, and in localities in the territories and possessions of the United States where the appropriate disposal agency has no local representative.
(5)	Advance Clearance. Where special circumstances, such as danger of deterioration or sanitary or other hazard, make immediate sales by owning agencies desirable without surplus declaration, advance clearance may be obtained from the Administration or such agency as it may designate for the purpose.
D.	Reports to Disposal Agencies. (1) Regional Basis of Reporting. Owning agencies will establish and maintain such organizations and procedures as are necessary to enable them to make reports of surplus property to the disposal agencies on a regional basis, in accordance with the procedures established in part II of this regulation.
8
(2)	Withdrawal of Property Reported. After reporting property to a disposal agency, the owning agency will hold the property subject to disposition instructions from the disposal agency. When property has been reported as surplus, the disposal agency shall thereupon have the exclusive right and obligation to make disposition thereof for the United States. Where unforeseen circumstances arise, however, the owning agency may, with the consent of the disposal agency, withdraw such property for its own use or other disposition prior to its disposition by the disposal agency.
(3)	Limitations on Power of Disposal. Owning agencies will accompany each report of surplus with a statement clearly indicating what, if any, legal restrictions exist as to their power to dispose of the property in question. In the absence of any such statement, disposal agencies shall conclusively assume that they have unrestricted power to dispose of the property for the United States, subject to the applicable regulations of the Administration.
E.	Storage, Packing and Shipping. (1) Future Policy. The Administration recognizes the desirability of having a single responsibility for both the sale and the storage, packing and shipping of each class of surplus property. Manpower and facilities shortages prevent this from being effected at the present time. Every effort will be made, however, to provide for the requisite transfer from owning to disposal agencies as soon as these conditions permit, and certainly at some stage between the ending of the first phase of the war and conclusion of the war.
(2)	Present Operations, (a) The owning agency will provide storage for property reported to the disposal agency pending removal or disposal by the disposal agency. At the request of the disposal agency the owning agency will permit reasonable inspection of the property. Upon receipt of shipping instructions from the disposal agency, the owning agency will prepare the property for shipment and will ship in accordance with such instructions.
(b) Pending further regulations, accountability for surplus property will pass to the Procurement Division of the Treasury Department, as to property assigned to it under part I of this regulation, to the same extent and in the same manner as has heretofore been the case under Executive Order 9235, but accountability for all other surplus property will remain in the owning agency until the property is delivered upon the order of the disposal agency.
IV.	Responsibilities of Disposal Agencies
A.	Disposal. Disposal agencies shall have the exclusive right and obligation to make disposition, subject to the regulations of the Administration, of all property declared to them as surplus. They shall conclusively assume, unless otherwise notified by the owning agency, that property declared as surplus by an owning agency is property of the United States and that they have unrestricted power to dispose thereof for the United States, subject to the applicable regulations of the Administration. The exclusive responsibilities of disposal agencies shall include determining methods of sale, identity of purchasers and price, execution of all necessary documents in connection with disposal, including any
9
necessary documents of title, and the collection and proper treatment of all proceeds. The military agencies, if they so request in conjunction with,the report of surplus, will be consulted prior to the sale of any tactical equipment reported by them.
B.	Inventories: Disposal agencies will establish and maintain, in each region in which they receive reports of surplus, inventories of all surplus war property reported to them. Such inventories will be maintained in accordance with the Standard Commodity Classification described in Exhibit I.
C.	Storage, Packing and Shipping. Disposal agencies will proceed as promptly as is practicable so to organize their activities and personnel as to carry but the policy set forth in part III E (1) of this regulation.
V.	Interagency Cooperation
While there shall be strict adherence to the basic principle of Executive Order No. 9425 that there shall be a single disposal agency for each class of property, disposal agencies will make use, to the extent practicable, of facilities of other agencies which can assist them in their task, and will in turn, through the organization of regional consultants and coordinating and advisory committees and otherwise, render all possible assistance to owning agencies in connection with dispositions made by or under the authority of the owning agencies. Conversely other agencies will make available to the disposal agencies all assistance and facilities which the disposal agencies may reasonably request.
VI.	Sales Policies
All sales of surplus war property, whether made by disposal agencies or by or under the authority of owning agencies, will be made in accordance with the policies, regulations or directions of the Administration or, with its authority, of the disposal agencies. In the absence of specific directions, such as those heretofore issued with respect to sales of termination inventories, sales may be made in such manner as the selling agency shall deem advisable, adhering to the primary principle that a reasonable test of the market, having due regard for the nature, condition, quantity and location of the property, is a necessary prerequisite to any sale.
VII.	Accounting Procedures
Pending specific regulations on the subject, accounting and fiscal procedures and practices of the disposal agencies shall be conducted by the disposal agencies in such manner as they deem appropriate in order to conform to existing laws and regulations.
VIII.	Redistribution Within Government
Disposal agencies will so organize their activities that information as to the availability of surplus war property will at all times be readily obtainable by all agencies. Information as to stocks will be interchanged between offices of the disposal agencies in order that large quantities of scarce items reported in one re-
10
gion may be made available to other regions for distribution, where appropriate. Pending the issuance of more specific instructions, both the procuring agencies and the disposal agencies will take all practical steps to assure as full utilization within Government of available surplus property as is consistent with (a) the nature of the item, (b) timely procurement by the procuring agencies, and (c) prompt disposal by the disposal agencies.
EXHIBIT I TO REGULATION NO. I
Assignment of Property to Disposal Agencies
The assignments herein contained are based on the classifications contained in the Standard Commodity Classification (Government Printing Office, May, 1943, and February, 1944). That Classification contains a number of so-called major groups, which are designated by two digits only (such as 01—Live Animals; 65 —Drugs and Medicines). These major groups in turn are broken down into classes of property represented by the two digits of the major group plus additional digits (such as 65 48—Marine liver oil, etc.). All of the major groups now being assigned are listed in this Exhibit, but only such of the lesser groups are listed as are necessary to carve out of a major group assigned to one agency types of property included therein which are assigned to another. For a complete breakdown of each major gtoup, reference must be made to the Standard Commodity Classification itself.
It should further be noted that for reporting purposes, while reference to this Exhibit is necessary to ascertain the proper disposal agency, one report may include all property in a major group (two digits) at one location which is assigned to a single disposal agency.
