SEC. 6.1 Reports to Congress on Petroleum Supply Interruptions. (a) IMPACT ANALYSIS.-(1) Secretary of Energy shall analyze the impact on the domestic economy and on consumers in the United States of reliance on market allocation and pricing during any substantial reduction in the amount of petroleum products available to the United States. In making such analysis, the Secretary of Energy may consult with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and the heads of other appropriate Federal agencies. Such analysis shall

(A) examine the equity and efficiency of such reliance,

(B) distinguish between the impacts of such reliance on various categories of business (including small business and agriculture) and on households of different income levels.

(C) specify the nature and administration of monetary and fiscal policies that would be followed including emergency tax cuts, emergency block grants, and emergency supplements to income maintenance programs, and

(D) describe the likely impact on the distribution of petrole um products of State and local laws and regulations including emergency authorities, affecting the distribution of petrolev.co products.

142 USC 4265 sore

Such analysis shall include projections of the effect of the petroleum supply reduction on the price of motor gasoline, home heating, oil, and diesel fuel, and on Federal tax revenues, Federal royalty receipts, and State and local tax revenues.

(2) Within one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Energy shall submit a report to the Congress and the President containing the analysis required by this subsection, including a detailed step-by-step description of the procedures by which the policies specified in paragraph (1)(C) would be accomplished in an emergency, along with such recommendations as the Secretary of Energy deems appropriate.

(b) STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE DRAWDOWN AND DISTRIBUTION REPORT.-The President shall prepare and transmit to the Congress, at the time he transmits the drawdown plan pursuant to section 4(c), a report 2 containing

(1) a description of the foreseeable situations (including selective and general embargoes, sabotage, war, act of God, or accident) which could result in a severe energy supply interruption or obligations of the United States arising under the international energy program necessitating distributions from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and

(2) a description of the strategy or alternative strategies of distribution which could reasonably be used to respond to each situation described under paragraph (1), together with the theory and justification underlying each such strategy. The description of each strategy under paragraph (2) shall include an explanation of the methods which would likely be used to determine the price and distribution of petroleum products from the Reserve in any such distribution, and an explanation of the disposition of revenues arising from sales of any such petroleum products under the strategy.

(c) REGIONAL RESERVE REPORT.-The President or his delegate shall submit to the Congress no later than December 31, 1982, a report regarding the actions taken to comply with the provisions of section 157 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6237). Such report shall include an analysis of the economic benefits and costs of establishing Regional Petroleum Reserves, including

(1) an assessment of the ability to transport petroleum products to refiners, distributors, and end users within the regions specified in section 157(a) of such Act;

(2) the comparative costs of creating and operating Regional Petroleum Reserves for such regions as compared to the costs of continuing current plans for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve; and

(3) a list of potential sites for Regional Petroleum Reserves. (d) STRATEGIC ALCOHOL FUEL RESERVE REPORT.-The Secretary of Energy shall, in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, prepare and transmit to the Congress no later than December 31, 1982, a study of the potential for establishing a Strategic Alcohol Fuel Reserve.

2 Such report was due on Dec. 1, 1982.
