CONTRACTS TO -qjRT.T. FOR FUTURE nKLTVBRY ; Contracts to sell for future delivery 

 are now permissible under Amendment 6 to the General Ceiling Price Regulation is- 

 sued by the Office of Price Stabilization on March I6. 



The change allows sellers to offer a commodity or service for future delivery 

 at the ceiling price in effect at the time of delivery or, if a fixed price is 

 specified, at the fixed price or the ceiling price in effect at the time of deliv- 

 ery, whichever is lower. 



In many cases "tailored" regulations, designed for particular industries, are 

 now in preparation and will permit sellers to deliver commodities or services at 

 ceiling prices different from those established under the General Ceiling Price 

 Regulation. COPS officials explained that this action was taken in order that of- 

 fers and contracts to sell for future delivery will not be impeded while the 

 tailored regulations are under consideration. It was pointed out, however, that 

 this change does not permit a seller to deliver a commodity or service at a price 

 to be adjusted subsequent to delivery. 



This ameudment applies only to those commodities and services covered by the 

 General Ceiling Price Regulation. It does not apply to any ccsnmodity or service 

 for which a ceiling price is established by any other regulation or order of the 

 Director of Price Stabilization in effect at the time the offer or contract is 

 made,,
