A model for interpreting the effects of four alternatives to the Natural Gas Policy Act covers the options of accelerated partial decontrol, early full decontrol, and phased decontrol. The effects of these gas-pricing options on the development of domestic supplies of both conventional and unconventional sources, as well as the forecast under current policy, are examined in detail. All of the alternatives have a positive effect on supply relative to continuing controls indefinitely. The methodology for production forecasting appears in the appendix. 6 figures, 5 tables. (DCK)
