EXPLAI'TATORY NOTES
This study includes a summary of an analysis of all trp.de practice
provisions in the codes uith the exception of provisions relating to (l) pro-
duction control, (2) minimum price, (3) open price filing, (4) bid filing,
and (5) standards and labeling. The cddal provisions relating to these
five subjects have been analyzed and at present are set forth elsewhere
on charts.
All approved codes ajid supplements administered by NRA are included in
this study \-^ith the exception of Number 141, Investment Bankers, Nineteen
"LP" codes and the PetJroleura Code, Number 10, rrere excluded from the analy-
sis, since the trade practices therein \7erG not administered by NRA. The
analysis, thus, comprehends 555 codes and 189 supplements; from the latter
figure are excluded seven "appendices", three "consolidations" and two "sub~
divisions, "
In addition to a listing of the various types of trade practices cover-
ed in the codes, there is included tinder each specific practice: (l) the
different tjrpes of restrictions placed on it, and (2) the number of times
the restriction is cited in both codes and supplements. In making the
count, each supplement was regarded as a separate code and so counted. If
the provision.appeared in one or more than one division of any code, it was
counted once and only once.
The classifications and sub~classif ications are preliminary and tenta^
tive only, and should not be regarded as definitive.
