Defense Priorities and Allocations
System (DPAS): Metalworking

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Bureau of Industry and
Security, U.S. Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of inquiry.
Under Title I of the Defense
Production Act of 1950, as amended, (50
U.S.C. App. 2061, et seq.), the President
is authorized to require preferential
acceptance and performance of
contracts or orders supporting certain
approved national defense and energy
programs, and to allocate materials,
services, and facilities in such a manner
as to promote these approved programs.
Additional priorities authority is found
in section 18 of the Selective Service
Act of 1948 (50 U.S.C. App. 468), 10
U.S.C. 2538, and 50 U.S.C. 82. DPAS
authority has also been extended to
support emergency preparedness
activities under Title VI of the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief Act and
Emergency Assistance Act, as amended
(45 U.S.C. 5914, et seq.) The President

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) is seeking public
comments on the impact of the Defense
Priorities and Allocations System
(DPAS) set-aside for metalworking
machines on industry (15 CFR 700.31).
This notice of inquiry is part of an effort
to collect information to assist in the
preparation of revisions to the DPAS
regulation (15 CFR part 700), including
the possible elimination of the
metalworking machines set-aside.
DATES: Comments must be received by
May 17, 2006.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by any of the following methods:

subsequently redelegated to the Bureau
of Industry and Security.
Originally published in 1984, the
DPAS regulation was revised on
June 11, 1998 (63 FR 31918) to update,
streamline, and clarify a number of
provisions. Allocations rules like the
DPAS (i.e., controlled materials
programs) were established in response
to previous periods of national security
emergency such as the Second World
War and the Korean conflict to assure
the availability of any scarce and critical
item for approved programs. The basic
elements of the controlled materials
programs were set-asides (the amount of
an item for which a producer or
supplier must reserve order-book space
in anticipation of the receipt of rated
orders), production directives (requiring
a producer to supply a specific quantity,
size, shape, and type of an item within
a specific time period), and allotments
(the maximum quantity of an item
authorized for use in a specific program
or application).
Discussion and Request for Comments
Currently, the DPAS regulation
includes a set-aside that applies to
metalworking machines. Section 700.31
of the DPAS regulation states as follows:
‘‘(c) A metalworking machine producer is
not required to accept DO rated orders calling
for delivery in any month of a total quantity
of any size of machine in excess of 60 percent
of scheduled production of that size of
machine for that month, or any DO rated
orders received less than three months prior
to the beginning of the month for which
delivery is requested. However, DX rated
orders must be accepted without regard to a
set-aside or the lead time, if delivery can be
made by the required date.’’

Background
On May 11, 2005, the FHWA issued
a policy memorandum to clarify the
interpretation of our material or product
selection policy regarding culvert pipes.
Titled ‘‘Guidance on Pipe Selection,’’ 1
this memorandum stated that 23 CFR
635.411(d), Appendix A was not
intended to limit or restrict the use of
certain pipe materials in specific
drainage installations, nor was it
intended to prohibit the specifying of
alternative materials when the appendix
did not require it. The FHWA stated that
it would consider further policy changes
to clarify this issue following the
enactment of reauthorization legislation.
On August 10, 2005, the President
signed the SAFETEA–LU (Pub. L. 109–
59; Aug. 10, 2005). Section 5514 of the
SAFETEA–LU titled ‘‘Competition for
Specification of Alternative Types of
Culvert Pipes,’’ requires the Secretary of
Transportation to ensure that States
provide for competition with respect to
the specification of alternative types of
culvert pipes through requirements that
are commensurate with competition
requirements for other construction
materials. This section requires the
Secretary to accomplish this action not
later than 180 days after the enactment
of SAFETEA–LU (or by February 6,
2006).
On October 6, 2005, the FHWA issued
a memorandum titled ‘‘SAFETEA–LU

Selection,’’ dated May 11, 2005, which is available
on the FHWA’s home page: https://
