Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts-- Part 1
From Wikipedia.
During the war, the United States was divided into five Petroleum Administration for defense Districts (PADDs). These districts were set up to help the Petroleum Administration for War (PAW) organize the allocation of fuels including petroleum and diesel.
These districts are still used today for data purposes.
PAW was established in 1942 by Executive Order and abolished in 1946.
The districts are now named for the later Petroleum Administration for Defense which existed during the Korean War and was established by the Defense Production Act of 1950 and abolished in 1954 when it was taken over by the United States Department of Interior's Oil and Gas Division.
