All business concerns not covered by specific regulations to meet Capehart adjustments are covered by the GOR 21 regulation or by GOR 20, a similar but separate regulation issued for smaller businesses, with simpler rules. In this instance, small business is identified as one where gross sales of all commodities and services in the last fiscal year July 26, 1951 were less than $250,000. Director William J. Collins of the Erie OPS Office explained that the new regulations (GOR 20 and 21) are optional, with no deadline for filing, and that all provisions of existing regulations not inconsistent with them, remain in full force. Collins said that the Erie district I office will handle individual appliI cations for ceiling price adjustments in cases where the annual net sales volume is less than $1,000,000.

Others desiring to take advantage of the Capehart formula, unable to apply under specific regulations, are to apply to the Office of Price Stabilization, Washington, 25, D. C.

(The first and second zones are up to 150 miles from any given post office or mailing point and the fourth to the eighth zones are from 300 to 1800 miles from any mailing point.)
