The Defense Production Act of 1950 (Defense Production Act) (50 U.S.C. App. § 2061 et seq.) was enacted during the Korean War to ensure the availability of resources to meet national security needs. The Defense Production Act provides a number of important authorities to expedite and expand the supply of critical resources from the U.S. industrial base to support the national defense. While Defense Production Act provisions initially focused on DoD acquisition needs, several significant changes to the Defense Production Act's definition of national defense have been added over time to expand the definition from military, energy, and space activities, to include emergency preparedness activities conducted pursuant to title VI of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) and the protection and restoration of critical infrastructure.
Executive Order 13603, National Defense Resources Preparedness (March 16, 2012),
delegates the President's authority under section 101 of the Defense Production Act to the heads of several departments and agencies. The President has delegated this authority to the Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of civil transportation.
DOT's regulation is known as TPAS.
DOT published an NPRM establishing the proposed structure for TPAS on February 15, 2011 (76 FR 8675). DOT solicited comments on the proposed rule, but not did receive any comments. However, DOT determined that two non-significant changes, discussed below, were necessary for additional clarity. In addition, Executive Order 13603 updated certain definitions that are applicable to this rule and DOT has included those modifications, also discussed below, in this final rule. Therefore, subject to any comments on the revised definitions, DOT adopts the proposed rule with changes discussed below.
Section 33.1Purpose of this part. This section explains that the purpose of this rule is to provide guidance and procedures for use of the Defense Production Act priorities and allocations authority with respect to civil transportation, in accordance with the delegation of authority provided in section 201 of Executive Order 13603. This section also lists other agency regulations that, along with this regulation, form FPAS.
Section 33.2Priorities and allocations authority. This section summarizes the delegations of priorities and allocations authority in section 201 of Executive Order 13603 and explains that these delegated authorities may only be used to support programs that have been determined in writing as necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense by the Secretaries of Defense, Energy, or Homeland Security in their respective areas of jurisdiction, as specified in section 202 of Executive Order 13603.
Section 33.3Program eligibility. This section lists the categories of programs eligible for priorities and allocations support, in accordance with the definition of “national defense” in section 702 of the Defense Production Act (50 U.S.C. App. § 2152).
Section 33.20Definitions. This section contains definitions used in this part. Some definitions are drawn from other sources, as follows:
Section 702 of the Defense Production Act (50 U.S.C. App. § 2152)—“critical infrastructure,” “facilities,” “homeland security,” “materials,” “national defense,” “person,” and “services.”
Section 801 of Executive Order 13603—“civil transportation,” “energy,” “farm equipment,” “fertilizer,” “food resources,” “food resource facilities,” “health resources,” and “water resources.”
“Defense Production Act” means the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. § 2061 et seq.).
Section 33.30Delegation of authority. This section describes the delegation of priorities and allocations authority from the President to the Secretary of Transportation for all forms of civil transportation.
Section 33.31Priority ratings. This section explains the following: “DO” and “DX” rating symbols; program identification symbols; order of precedence for directives and ratings; and priority ratings that consist of a rating symbol and a program identification symbol.
Section 33.32Elements of a rated order. This section describes the four elements that must be included in a contract or order to make it a “rated order,” in accordance with the standards and procedures provided in this part. The four elements are: (1) A priority rating; (2) specific delivery date(s) for materials or services covered in the rated order; (3) the signature of an individual authorized to place the rated order; and (4) a statement describing what is required of the rated order recipient, in accordance with procedures provided in this part.
Section 33.33Acceptance and rejection of rated orders. This section describes mandatory and optional conditions for acceptance or rejection of rated orders, as well as customer notification timeframes pertaining to acceptance or rejection. In general, a person is required to accept a rated order if the person normally supplies the materials or services covered by the rated order and must do so regardless of any other orders on hand. Persons are prohibited from charging higher prices, imposing different terms, or any other discriminatory practices for the rated order that are different from a comparable unrated order.
As explained in the NPRM, prior to 2008, DOT was the lead Federal agency responsible for providing and managing emergency transportation services, including those necessary for mass evacuations.
Our experiences while carrying out this mission, which included managing the massive transportation needs for the evacuation of persons and the movement of supplies, equipment and teams in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, confirm that transportation providers can respond within these expedited timeframes. Specifically, the contract that DOT had in place for transportation services required the contractor to acknowledge an order for service within one hour of receiving the order and to make transportation equipment available at the shipment place of origin to begin moving cargo and passengers within four hours from receipt of the order for service.
Section 33.34Preferential scheduling. This section describes: (1) When a recipient of a rated order must modify production or delivery schedules to satisfy the delivery requirements of a rated order; (2) the order of precedence for rated, unrated, and conflicting orders; and (3) the use of inventoried production items when needed to fill a rated order.
Section 33.35Extension of priority ratings. This section requires that the recipient of a rated order must, in turn, use rated orders with suppliers to obtain items or services needed to fill a rated order. The requirement applies to all contractors and subcontractors throughout the procurement chain necessary to fill the rated order.
Section 33.36Changes or cancellations of priority ratings and rated orders. This section describes the procedures for changing or cancelling a priority rating or the provisions of a rated order. In addition, this section lists types of modifications that do not constitute a new rated order.
Section 33.37Use of rated orders. This section describes the process and procedures for when the recipient of a rated order: (1) Must use rated orders to obtain items and services needed to fulfill the rated order; (2) may use a rated order to replace inventoried items that were used to fulfill the order; (3) may combine orders with different priority ratings or with unrated orders; and (4) may forgo use of rated orders for orders below certain thresholds.
Section 33.38Limitations on placing rated orders. This section describes specific circumstances when the use of rated orders is prohibited. This section also prohibits the use of TPAS to obtain rated orders for a resource under the resource jurisdiction of other agencies with delegated Defense Production Act priorities and allocations authority, unless specifically authorized by the resource agency.
Section 33.40General provisions. This section explains the circumstances and procedures under which DOT will provide assistance in resolving problems related to priority rated contracts and orders. This section also lists the DOT points of contact and the form to be used to request assistance.
Section 33.41Requests for priority rating authority. This section establishes the procedures to request rating authority under special circumstances. DOT may grant priority ratings for items and services not normally rated under the regulation in order to prevent a delay of a rated order. This section also specifies that rating authority for production or construction equipment must come from the Department of Commerce. Finally, this section explains when DOT may authorize the use of a priority rating on an order to a supplier in advance of the issuance of a rated prime contract, and the factors DOT will consider in deciding whether to grant such a request.
Section 33.42Examples of assistance. This section lists examples of when special priority assistance may be provided.
Section 33.43Criteria for assistance. This section requires that a request for special priorities assistance be timely, that there be an urgent procurement need for the item, and that the applicant make a reasonable effort to resolve the problem for which assistance is needed.
Section 33.44Instances where assistance may not be provided. This section lists examples of when special priority assistance will not be provided.
Section 33.45Assistance programs with other nations. Reserved.
Section 33.50Policy. This section explains the policy of the Federal Government regarding use of the allocations authority, which is based on the statutory language in section 101 of the Defense Production Act and the legislative history of section 101.
Specifically, allocation authority will be used only when priority authority is unable to provide a sufficient supply of a material, service, or facility to meet the national defense, or when the use of priority authority would cause a severe and prolonged disruption in the supply of materials, services, or facilities available to support normal U.S. economic activities.
Allocation orders will be distributed equitably among similarly situated suppliers of the resources being allocated and will not require any person to relinquish a disproportionate share of the civilian market. Allocation authority will not apply to resources owned by the Federal Government, as those resources may be used by the controlling Federal entity in accordance with other governing laws. Nor, generally speaking, will allocation authority apply to resources owned by States, local governments or Native American tribes, as that could potentially undermine other Federal laws. For example, the Stafford Act is designed “to provide an orderly and continuing means of assistance by the Federal Government to States and local governments in carrying out their responsibilities to alleviate the suffering and damage which results from * * * disasters * * *.” 42 U.S.C. 5121(b). Thus, it would be counterproductive for the Federal Government to consider allocating for its own use the very resources the State, local or tribal government could be counting on as part of its response efforts.
The Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) and the Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA) are two examples of DOT's use of its allocation authority.
Concerning CRAF, under the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding, DOT develops plans and allocates aircraft to the CRAF program based on DoD requirements. DOT advises DoD if it intends to allocate fewer aircraft than requested by DoD, notifies DoD if a particular level of CRAF activation will have a serious adverse impact on the civil air carrier's ability to provide essential service, and works with DoD to identify alternatives or determine ways to minimize the impact. DOT publishes a periodic allocation of aircraft, by registration or “N” number, of each airline participating in the CRAF program.
Section 33.51General procedures. The procedures set out in this section and in section 33.52 are intended to provide a reasonable assurance that allocation authority will be used only in situations where such authority is justified. Section 33.51 sets out the specific requirements and findings that DOT must meet before it can use its allocation authority.
Section 33.52Controlling the general distribution of a material in the civilian market. This section provides procedures for making the findings required by section 101(b) of the Defense Production Act and section 201(e) of Executive Order 13603. Defense Production Act section 101(b) states that the priorities and allocations authority shall not be used to control the general distribution of any material in the civilian market unless the President finds (1) that such material is a scarce and critical material essential to the national defense, and (2) that the requirements of the national defense for such material cannot otherwise be met without creating a significant dislocation of the normal distribution of such material in the civilian market to such a degree as to create appreciable hardship. Section 201(e) of Executive Order 13603 directs each Secretary with delegated authority under section 101 of the Defense Production Act to make the finding required by section 101(b) and submit the finding for the President's approval through the Assistant to the President and National Security Advisor and the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism. By definition under the Defense Production Act, services, including transportation services, are not considered a “material” as contemplated in section 101(b) of the Defense Production Act or section 201(e) of Executive Order 13603.
Section 33.53Types of allocation orders. This section describes the three types of allocation orders DOT will issue: A set-aside; an allocation directive; or an allotment. A set-aside is an official action that requires a person to reserve a resource capacity in anticipation of receipt of rated orders. An allocation directive is an official action that requires a person to take or refrain from taking certain actions in accordance with its provisions. For example, an allocation directive could require a person to stop or reduce production of an item or service; prohibit the use of selected materials, services or facilities; divert supply of one type of material, service or facility to another; or supply a specific quantity, size, shape, and type of an item or service within a specific time period. An allotment is an official action that specifies the maximum quantity of a material, service, or facility authorized for use in a specific program or application.
Section 33.54Elements of an allocation order. This section describes the minimum elements of an allocation order. These elements are: (1) A detailed description of the required allocation action(s); (2) specific start and end calendar dates for each required allocation action; (3) the written signature on a manually placed order, or the digital signature or name on an electronically placed order, of the Secretary of DOT, which will certify that the order is authorized under this regulation and that the requirements of this part are being followed; (4) a statement that the order is certified for national defense use and that recipients are required to comply with the order; and (5) a copy of the TPAS regulation.
Section 33.55Mandatory acceptance of an allocation order. This section requires a person to accept and comply with allocation orders if the person is capable of complying. If a person is unable to comply fully with the required actions specified in an allocation order, the person is required to notify DOT immediately, explain the extent to which compliance is possible, and give reasons why full compliance is not possible. Furthermore, notifying DOT of possible non-compliance does not release the person from complying with the allocation order to the extent possible. This section also states that a person may not discriminate against an allocation order in any manner, such as by charging higher prices or imposing terms and conditions on allocation orders that are different from what the person imposed on contracts or orders for the same resource prior to receiving the allocation order.
Section 33.56Changes or cancellations of an allocation order. This section states that DOT may modify or cancel an allocation order.
Section 33.60General provisions. This section sets out the specific official actions that DOT may take to implement the provisions of this regulation. These official actions include Rating Authorizations, Directives, Planning Orders, and Memoranda of Understanding.
Section 33.61Rating authorizations. This section defines a rating authorization as an official action granting priority rating authority.
Section 33.62Directives. This section defines a directive as an official action that requires a person to take or refrain from taking certain actions in accordance with its provisions. A priority directive takes precedence over rated orders, and allocation directives take precedence over a priority directive.
Section 33.63Memoranda of Understanding. This section explains that a Memorandum of Understanding is an official action that may be issued to reflect an agreement resolving a request for special priorities assistance. A Memorandum of Understanding may not be used to alter scheduling between rated orders, authorize the use of priority ratings, impose restrictions under this regulation, or take other official actions.
Section 33.70General provisions. This section clarifies that DOT has the authority to enforce or administer the Defense Production Act, this regulation, or an official action. Additionally, this section states that willful violations of title I or section 705 of the Defense Production Act, this regulation, or an official DOT action, are criminal acts, punishable as provided in the Defense Production Act, and as set forth in § 33.74 below.
Section 33.71Audits and investigations. This section provides the procedures for conducting audits and investigations to ensure that the provisions of the Defense Production Act and other applicable statutes, this regulation, and official actions have been properly followed. This provision is limited to activities conducted under DPA authorities and does not limit the authority of DOT elements to initiate and conduct audits, investigations, or other inquiries under their specific statutes or authorities, nor does it affect the process for such audits, investigations or inquiries.
Section 33.72Compulsory process. This section explains the procedures DOT may use to seek a compulsory process if a person refuses to permit a duly authorized DOT representative to have access to any premises or any necessary information. For purposes of this regulation, compulsory process means the institution of appropriate legal action, including ex parte application for an inspection warrant or its equivalent in any forum of appropriate jurisdiction. Furthermore, compulsory process under this regulation may be sought in advance of an audit or investigation if DOT believes a person will refuse to comply with the audit or investigation.
Section 33.73Notification of failure to comply. This section provides procedures for notification of failure to comply with the Defense Production Act, other applicable statutes, this regulation, or an official DOT action.
Section 33.74Violations, penalties, and remedies. This section sets out the penalties and related actions the Government may take for violations of the provisions of title I or sections 705 or 707 of the Defense Production Act, the priorities provisions of the Selective Service Act, when applicable, this regulation, or an official DOT action.
Section 33.75Compliance conflicts. This section require persons to immediately notify DOT if compliance with any provision of the Defense Production Act, other applicable statutes, this part, or an official action will prevent a person from filling a rated order or from complying with another provision of the Defense Production Act, other applicable statutes, this regulation, or an official action.
Section 33.80Adjustments or exceptions. This section describe the procedures necessary to request an adjustment or exception to a provision of this regulation or an official action on the grounds that it will create an undue or exceptional hardship or compliance is contrary to the intent of the Defense Production Act or this regulation. Such requests must be submitted in writing and the submission of a request for adjustment or exception does not relieve the requester from compliance while the request is being considered by DOT.
Section 33.81Appeals. This section provides procedures and timeframes for appealing a decision denying relief from a request for an adjustment or exception under this regulation. This section provides for an expedited procedure for appeals involving a rated order placed for the purpose of emergency preparedness.
Section 33.90Protection against claims. This section provides that a person shall not be held liable for damages or penalties for any act or failure to act resulting directly or indirectly from compliance with any provision of this regulation or an official action. This “hold harmless” provision applies even if any provision of this regulation or action is subsequently declared to be invalid by judicial or other competent authority.
Section 33.91Records and reports. This section requires persons to create and preserve for at least three years accurate and complete records of any transaction covered by this regulation or an official action. This section also details the various requirements pertaining to the required records and reports. In addition, this section describes the confidentiality provision of the Defense Production Act pertaining to information submitted under the Defense Production Act or this regulation.
Section 33.92Applicability of this part and official actions. This section establishes the jurisdictional applicability of this regulation.
Section 33.93Communications. This section provides DOT contact information for communications concerning this regulation.
IV. Public Comments Received Back to Top
This final rule is a “significant regulatory action” under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. Executive Order 13563 is supplemental to and reaffirms the principles, structures, and definitions governing regulatory review that were established in Executive Order 12866. In addition, Executive Order 13563 specifically requires agencies to: (1) Involve the public in the regulatory process; (2) promote simplification and harmonization through interagency coordination; (3) identify and consider regulatory approaches that reduce burden and maintain flexibility; (4) ensure the objectivity of any scientific or technological information used to support regulatory action; consider how to best promote retrospective analysis to modify, streamline, expand, or repeal existing rules that are outmoded, ineffective, insufficient or excessively burdensome. While the requirements under title I of the Defense Production Act have been in existence for years, these regulations are new to the transportation industry and could be considered to raise novel legal or policy issues under section 3(f)(4) of Executive Order 12866. The rule is not economically significant, however, as it would not have an annual economic impact of over $100 million.
Although DOT cannot precisely determine the number of small entities that would be affected by this rule, DOT believes that the overall impact on such entities will not be significant and, therefore, for the reasons set forth above, I certify that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

1. Executive Order 13603 replaced Executive Order 12919, National Defense Industrial Resource Preparedness, June 3, 1994. In addition to the noted definition modifications for which DOT is seeking comment, the issuance of Executive Order 13603 resulted in editorial changes that are reflected in this final rule.
2. Section 201 of Executive Order 13603 also delegates Defense Production Act section 101 authority to:
3. The other parts that will make up FPAS are:
4. In 2007 DOT and DHS entered into a Memorandum of Understanding transferring the responsibility for evacuations and commodity and equipment movements to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). New authority given to FEMA in the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 necessitated redefining DOT's role for providing emergency transportation services and for designating the Federal lead for planning, coordinating and conducting evacuations of the general population.
5. DOT's contract with Landstar Express America, Inc. contained the following requirements for Rapid Response Capability:
6. Legislative history indicates that Congress was concerned that national defense requirements, during times of emergency, could consume much of the output of key industrial sectors and selected producers within some sectors. Allocations authority was viewed as a means to ensure an equitable distribution of national defense demand among potential suppliers to avoid disproportionate impacts on each supplier's share of the civilian market.
7. CRAF was formed through a joint agreement between DoD and the Department of Commerce. Executive Order 10999 placed responsibility for administration of the CRAF program in the Department of Commerce as a function of the Office of Emergency Transportation. In 1967, the Office of Emergency Transportation transferred in its entirety with its mission, functions and staff into the new Department of Transportation. Responsibility for carrying out the Secretary's role with respect to the CRAF program now resides with the Office of Intelligence, Security and Emergency Response.
