§ 2072. Hoarding of designated scarce materials
In order to prevent hoarding, no person shall accumulate
(2)
for the purpose of resale at prices in excess of prevailing market prices, materials which have been designated by the President as scarce materials or materials the supply of which would be threatened by such accumulation. The President shall order published in the Federal Register, and in such other manner as he may deem appropriate, every designation of materials the accumulation of which is unlawful and any withdrawal of such designation.
In making such designations the President may prescribe such conditions with respect to the accumulation of materials in excess of the reasonable demands of business, personal, or home consumption as he deems necessary to carry out the objectives of this Act [sections
2061 to
2170,
2171, and
2172 of this Appendix]. This section shall not be construed to limit the authority contained in sections 101 and 704 of this Act [sections
2071 and
2154 of this Appendix].
