Strategic Petroleum Reserve Plan (Public Law 94-163, Section 154)

Technical Report · Wed Dec 15 04:00:00 EST 1976

OSTI ID:7227094

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (P.L. 94-163) requires the FEA to implement the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in order to mitigate the economic impacts of any future interruptions of petroleum imports. One hundred fifty MMB of oil will be stored by 1978 in the Early Storage Reserve, and five hundred MMB will be stored by 1982 under the full program. This report discusses FEA's plan for developing and implementing the entire Strategic Petroleum Reserve. This SPR Plan, if it becomes effective under section 159(a) of the EPCA, will incorporate the ESR Plan submitted to the Congress on April 22, 1976 (PB 252 574). Where inconsistencies exist between the SPR Plan and ESR Plan, this SPR Plan will supersede the ESR Plan when it becomes effective. This Plan provides all of the information required by section 154(e) of the EPCA, except for information on the specific sites for storage of the Reserve.
