Technical Report · Mon May 01 04:00:00 EDT 1978

OSTI ID:5629728

The energy action being considered by the Economic Regulatory Administration of the Department of Energy (DOE) is the exemption of motor gasoline from 10 CFR Parts 210, 211 and 212. This exemption from allocation and price regulations is being proposed as an ''Energy Action'' under Section 12 of the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act (EPAA), which was added to the EPAA on December 22, 1975, by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), Public Law 94-163. DOE has concluded that continued price and allocation controls on motor gasoline are no longer necessary to assure adequacy of supply, or otherwise to meet the objectives of the EPAA. Therefore, DOE has prepared an Energy Action to exempt motor gasoline from controls. This report discusses the environmental impacts of this action and also provides a discussion of socio-economic factors resulting from this decontrol.
