Technical Report · Thu Jul 14 00:00:00 EDT 1977

OSTI ID:7096557

This report summarizes findings of a special independent Task Force whose purpose was to recommend measures to strengthen FEA's enforcement program, which has been ineffective in the past. It recommended a comprehensive reorientation of the existing Compliance Program beginning with a massive effort at auditing the major integrated refiners, going back to the 1973-74 embargo period. In addition, the Task Force called for moving the Compliance program into a self-reporting system where industry is required to monitor itself, with appropriate audit checks and verifications by the agency to assure compliance, similar to the IRS enforcement system. Also recommended is the development of a more efficient enforcement team composed of auditors, attorneys and system analysts.
