Administrative History
The short-lived Bureau of Rationing was founded on December 22, 1941 and absorbed by the federal Office of Price Administration in May 1942. Established to act as a liaison between the federal government's rationing program and local rationing boards, the bureau disseminated information, monitored compliance with regulations, and assisted in interpreting instructions.
