Is it not true that to have
the right sort of house, it should
be both useful and pleasant to
live in?'
And this being admitted, he

ACC to its members, contractors

In its explanatory" release last
night. NPA discussed how the Or
der would apply to various spe-
cial situations" These interpre-
Itations of the order served partly
as the basis for the explanation
sent by the Associated General
Contractors of America to its
members.
Special Situation Cited.
One special situation Tex
planned" by NPA was as follows:
"(a) A prime contractor has
SO tons of steel and 1000 pounds
OF copper in his inventory. He
desires to build a motion picture
theater or other Table category
which will not require more than
that amount of controlled ma
terials.
Under Section 4 OF Order MA
he may not commence construc-
tion unless he is granted an excep-
ton under Section 7 of that order
Since the proposed construction
would not result in a diminution
OF the controlled materials allo-
cation available for distribution,
this fact will be considered in
processing the application for ex-
ception.
"(b) If motion picture theater
or other Table category is now
under construction pursuant to an
exception granted under NPA Or
der MA, and II 1t will require
more than two tons Of carbon
steel or 200 pounds Of copper for
completion, the prime contractor
may not continue with the con-
struction unless he receives an
authorized construction schedule
and related allotment under GIMP
Regulation s. However, if the

Key Provision of Order.
Beginning with October /. all
residential construction must be
specifically authorized. either by
Standardization as in the case
of one-to-four-fanily structures
requiring no more than stated
quantities of controlled materials
or by an authorized construction
schedule of allotment of mate
rials, as in the case Of all multi
unit structures" HHFA said.
A key provision of the new Or
der is that after September 80
no one will be able to buy con-
trolled materials for construction
except with a GIMP authorization
either a "self-authorization" or
one granted by the agency after
an application is filed, the Asso-
ciated General Contractors analy-
sis pointed out. CYou probably
will have tough time getting
such materials up to that time
without authorization, but if you
can get them it won't be illegal.)
Significant Points Made.
AGES interpretative statement
to its members made other sig
nif1cant points:
l. New construction requiring
more than specified amounts of
controlled materials can be start
ed without an application being
filed provided all controlled ma
terials needed are delivered by
September 80, and provided the
job is not a multi-unit apart
ment building or of the recrea-
tional, entertainment or amuse-
ment type.
2. Projects Of this kind now
under way can be completed with
out filing an application provided
the controlled materials are de-
livered by September 30.
8. Projects under way for which
less than specified amounts of
controlled materials will be re-
quired per quarter" may be COM
pleted without filing an applica-
ton.
4. New applications must be filed
for authorized construction sched-
ules and related allotments of con-
trolled materials in the case of
projects already under way which
will require delivery Of greater
than specified amounts Of con-
trolled materials after Septem-
ber 80.

The new regulation, or order, is

tributed, the National Production
Authority attached to it Con-
trolled Materials Plan Regulation

amendment to Delegation ID, re-
vocation of MA, revocation of
Delegation 7. and copy of-to
use NPA's own brand of contrac-
tions-Form NPAF-24A. All this
was done so that people would
understand the new order better.
Which may give you an idea of
why being non-legal NPA en-
ploye-not to mention being a
buildef-is getting to be some
what complicated.
The simplest thing you can say
about MA is that it replaces a
previous order called MA.
Started as Simple Order.
MA started out as a mild little
NPA regulation which became eff
fective October 26, 1850, and
which banned construction of new
buildings for amusement, recre-
ational or entertainment purposes.
That was all.
But gradually MA was made
tougher, through amendments, to
hold down both residential and
commercial and industrial build
ing.
When the So-called Controlled
Materials Plan of allocating scarce
materials went into effect July /,
MA was amended to bring con-
Struction under the Controlled
Materials Plan (CMP) on a per
missive" basis. A builder could
be under GIMP. or he didn't need
to be, as he wished. That was a
little over month ago.
Now the whole MA setup is
tossed out the window and the
MA regulation has been put
into effect to take its place. The
Controlled Materials Plan is no
longer 'permissive" in regard to
the construction. 1t now is to be
