Implementing title I of the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA) as one of the five acts making up the National Energy Act was the subject of a two-day oversight hearing held in November 1981. The purpose was to review the effects of the act, and witnesses were asked to limit any discussion on the decontrol issue. The statements of 28 witnesses and two appendices with supplemental material make up the hearing record. Giving statements were members of Congress, State legislators, representatives of consumer and industrial groups, spokesmen for the natural gas industry, and others. Their testimony indicated that, while the technical aspects of implementation were relatively smooth, serious market effects can emerge after 1985 when large volumes of gas are decontrolled. (DCK)
