Sec. 700.5  Special priorities assistance.

    (a) The DPAS is designed to be largely self-executing. However, from 
time-to-time production or delivery problems will arise. In this event, 
special priorities assistance is available from Commerce and from the 
Delegate Agencies.
    (b) Special priorities assistance is available for any reason 
consistent with this regulation. Generally, special priorities 
assistance is provided to expedite deliveries, resolve delivery 
conflicts, place rated orders, locate suppliers, or to verify 
information supplied by customers and vendors. Special priorities 
assistance may also be used to request rating authority for items not 
automatically ratable.
