than five days after the publication Ag ricultural Prices contains a price for the commodity which satisfies the legal min ima set out in the Defense Production Act of 1950. It has been found to beboth unnecessary and confusing to tie the cut-off date to the date of publication of Agricultural Prices. When the sit uation warrants, the Director is able promptly to take any action he finds to be desirable by amendment of Appen dix C; and, by such specific amendment, the public will have clear notice of the state of the affected commodity.
Moreover, the former provision, which would have resulted in automatic de letion, prevented individual considera tion of each action and might well have caused distorted relationships between the prices of the various agricultural commodities and products involved.
This amendment, by eliminating that automatic deletion provision, affords the Director of Price Stabilization an op portunity to exercise the control neces sary to maintain a balanced price structure.

Part 573 is amended as indicated REPORTING OF INCREASES UNDER SECTION 21
