n. An affidavit by two officers or other responsible officials of the claimant, one of whom shall be the chief accounting officer of the claimant, that the statements, information, and other data set

203. No more than one claim shall be filed under the Act by any one claimant. Each claim shall be filed in quadruplicate with the war agency with respect to whose contracts and subcontracts claim for loss is made.

204. No claim for loss under any contract or subcontract of a war agency shall be received or considered unless a written request for relief with respect thereto was filed with such war agency on or before August 14, 1945; and no claim shall be considered if final action with respect thereto was taken on or before that date.

205. Upon request by a war agency with which a claim has been filed, the claimant shall furnish promptly additional copies of its claim or any additional evidence which may be requested and which is within the possession of or available to the claimant, bearing upon the claim or any of the matters referred to in section 2 (a) of the Act. Such additional evidence shall be verified by the claimant in accordance with subparagraph n of paragraph 202 of these Regulations.

PART III-SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS

301. Upon receipt of a claim, the war agency shall transmit a copy of the claim to the General Accounting Office for verification of the list of contracts and subcontracts shown in the claim. The General Accounting Office shall be requested to advise the war agency of any discrepancies between its records and the list of contracts and subcontracts set forth in the claim, and to furnish any facts in its files pertinent to the consideration and settlement of the claim. Before any claim is paid under the Act or these Regulations the war agency considering the claim shall notify the General Accounting Office as to the proposed settlement, and the General Accounting Office shall ascer

tain from the contracting and lending agencies of the Government whether they have any claims against the claimant and shall notify the agency concerned with respect thereto. As soon after February 7, 1947, as practicable, the General Accounting Office shall prepare a list of all claimants under the Act and shall furnish each contracting or lending agency of the Government, and the Department of Justice, a copy thereof. Each such agency shall thereupon notify the General Accounting Office as to any claim or claims it may have against any claimant named in such list.

302. When claim for loss is made with respect to contracts and subcontracts of more than one war agency, the war agency with which the claim is filed pursuant to paragraph 203 of these Regulations shall proceed to consider and settle the claim, subject to the approval of each other war agency concerned as to that portion of the proposed settlement which relates to the contracts or subcontracts of that agency, which approval of, or determination with respect to, such portion shall be final. Each war agency considering a claim involving losses under contracts and subcontracts of other war agencies shall advise and consult with such other war agencies, and may request information or comment from any other agency with respect to matters bearing upon the claim.

303. Each war agency, in considering a claim, shall take into consideration (a) action taken with respect to the claimant under section 403 of the Sixth Supplemental National Defense Appropriation Act, 1942, as amended, the Contract Settlement Act of 1944, or similar legislation; (b) relief granted the claimant under section 201 of the First War Powers Act, 1941, or otherwise; and (c) relief proposed to be granted the claimant by any other war agency under the Act. Whenever a war agency finds that a loss affected the computation of the amount of the claimant's excessive profits determined in a renegotiation agreement or order, and to the extent that the war agency finds such amount was thereby reduced, no claim for such loss shall be allowed under the Act or these Regulations. Each war agency, in considering a claim, shall give such regard as may be proper to any reduction in income or excess profits taxes of the claimant resulting from the loss in respect of which the claim is made.

304. No claim shall be allowed by any war agency except if and to the extent that the war agency finds that the claim is (a) equitable under all the circumstances and (b) for losses incurred without fault or negligence on the part of the claimant.

305. No claimant shall be granted relief under the Act and these Regulations in any amount in excess of the amount of the net loss (less the amount of any relief granted subsequent to the establishment of such loss) on all contracts and subcontracts held by the claimant pursuant to which work, supplies, or services were furnished for the Government during the statutory period.

306. A war agency considering a claim shall determine the extent to which information and data sworn to and filed by the claimant shall be verified.

307. Relief with respect to a particular loss claimed shall not be granted under the Act and these Regulations unless the war agency considering the claim finds, or, in case such loss was incurred under the contracts and subcontracts of another war agency, such other war agency finds, that relief would have been granted under the First War Powers Act, 1941, if final action with respect thereto had been taken by the war agency on or before August 14, 1945.

308. Where a claim is settled by agreement between the war agency and the claimant, the agreement shall be reduced to writing and signed by both parties and shall include an unconditional release by the claimant of all claims whatsoever of the claimant against the Government or any department or agency thereof as to all contracts and subcontracts involved in consideration of the claims. Payment, within the limits of appropriations available for such purposes, shall be made by the war agency upon the basis of the executed agreement.

309. Where a claim is not settled by agreement, the war agency shall deliver to the claimant a written statement as to the amount, if any, due on the claim, but shall make no payment of any amount so found to be due until the claimant shall have delivered to the war agency an unconditional release of all claims whatsoever of the claimant against the Government or any department or agency thereof as to all contracts and subcontracts involved in consideration of the claims.
