Title 15 - Commerce and Foreign Trade
(a) The priority rating on a rated order may be changed or cancelled by: (1) An official action of the Department of Commerce; or (2) Written notification from the person who placed the rated order (including a Delegate Agency). (b) If an unrated order is amended so as to make it a rated order, or a DO, rating is changed to a DX rating, the supplier must give the appropriate preferential treatment to the order as of the date the change is received by the supplier. (c) An amendment to a rated order that significantly alters a supplier's original production or delivery schedule shall constitute a new rated order as of the date of its receipt. The supplier must accept or reject the amended order according to the provisions of §700.13. (d) The following amendments do not constitute a new rated order: a change in shipping destination; a reduction in the total amount of the order; an increase in the total amount of the order which has negligible impact upon deliveries; a minor variation in size or design; or a change which is agreed upon between the supplier and the customer. (e) If a person no longer needs items to fill a rated order, any rated orders placed with suppliers for the items, or the priority rating on those orders, must be cancelled. (f) When a priority rating is added to an unrated order, or is changed or cancelled, all suppliers must be promptly notified in writing.
