                     Subpart D_Industrial Priorities

 

Sec. 700.16  Changes or cancellations of priority ratings and rated 

orders.



    (a) The priority rating on a rated order may be changed or cancelled 

by:

    (1) An official action of the Department of Commerce; or

    (2) Written notification from the person who placed the rated order 

(including a Delegate Agency).

    (b) If an unrated order is amended so as to make it a rated order, 

or a DO, rating is changed to a DX rating, the supplier must give the 

appropriate preferential treatment to the order as of the date the 

change is received by the supplier.

    (c) An amendment to a rated order that significantly alters a 

supplier's original production or delivery schedule shall constitute a 

new rated order as of the date of its receipt. The supplier must accept 

or reject the amended order according to the provisions of Sec. 700.13.

    (d) The following amendments do not constitute a new rated order: a 

change in shipping destination; a reduction in the total amount of the 

order; an increase in the total amount of the order which has negligible 

impact upon deliveries; a minor variation in size or design; or a change 

which is agreed upon between the supplier and the customer.

    (e) If a person no longer needs items to fill a rated order, any 

rated orders placed with suppliers for the items, or the priority rating 

on those orders, must be cancelled.

    (f) When a priority rating is added to an unrated order, or is 

changed or cancelled, all suppliers must be promptly notified in 

writing.
