In response to inquiries received by Commodity Credit Corporation herein called Commodity , and to render ex plicit that which was implicit in the Of fer of Commodity Crédit Corporation to Make Freight Equalization Payments in Respect of Certain Shipments of Apples from Washington, Oregon, and Western Idaho, as issued October 22, 1943, 8 F.R.
14878, and amended December 13, 1943, 8 F.R. 16774, said original offer and said offer amended as aforesaid bing herein called the offer, Commodity hereby issues the following interpretation with respect to such offer:
1. All weights referred to in the offer as determinative of amounts of payment thereunder shall be determined in ac cordance with the ordinary practice of common carriers in the application of their established tariffs, and may include the weight of the container and wrapping if such weight is not excessive, having, due regard to the usual custom of ship pers with respect to shipments of apples.
In the case of shipments in boxes or other containers whether the apples are wrapped or not where the common car rier, properly under its established tariffs, applies a rate based upon a fixed weight determined by the sizepf the box or other container, the weight thus charged for by such common carrier shall be the weight used in determining the amount of payment under the offer.
2. The term lowest applicable freight rate, as used in the offer in respect of eligible shipments of apples, means the rate applicable to that size of shipment
of apples which bears the lowest freight rate from the applicable point of ship ment in Zone VI to the applicable point of destination i-Zones I, H, M , or IV, as determined from the established tariffs of the carrier.
3. Where the lowest applicable freight rate on an eligible shipment is other than one of the rates specified in 242.3
as being applicable to eligible shipments made from Zone VI to the applicable zone of destination, the rate of payment on such eligible shipment shall be that applicable to the next lower freight rate so specified. For example, if the lowest applicable freight rate per hundred weight on a particular eligible shipment arriving subsequent to December 13,1943, at a point of destination in Zone I is $1.18, the equalization payment thereon will be that applicable to a shipment on which the freight rate is $1.15, i. e., the equalization payment will be $.92 per hundredweight. If, however, the lowest applicable freight rate on such eligible shipment is less than any freight rate so specified in 242.3, no payment shall be made on such eligible shipment under the offer. For example, if under the previous illustration, the lowest applicable freight rate per hundredweight on the eligible shipment were $1.01, no equalization pay ment would be made inasmuch as the lowest freight rate specified in the offer with respect to Zone I is $1.05.
4. Consistent with the purposes of the Apple Freight Equalization Payment Program as stated in the offer, the term utilized for domestic civilian non-gov ernmental consumption, as used in the offer, means the lawful utilization of the apples included in such shipment, i. e., that such utilization including all sales and deliveries involved was or will be, as the case may be in conformity with all applicable orders and regulations of War Food Administration and of Office of Price Administration. Each eligible shipper shall be required to certify ac cordingly with rdfpect to each shipment for which equalization payment is sought pursuant to the offer.
