Supporting documentation and control over Economic Regulatory Administration cases

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6400414
This report discusses the adequacy of the Economic Regulatory Administration's (ERA) documentation of and control over cases involving alleged petroleum pricing violations. In response to the oil embargo and price increase, Congress passed the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973 (15 USC 751). The Government assured compliance by investigating petroleum pricing violations, recovering overcharges, and making restitution to injured parties. Between August 1973 and January 1981, when oil prices were decontrolled, ERA and predecessor federal agencies established and enforced regulations controlling the allocation and pricing of crude oil and refined petroleum products.
