Background information on energy policy considerations of the 94th Congress indicates the degree to which Congress has assumed the authority and shared the responsibility for shaping a new energy policy for the future. Distinctive features in establishing direction for National policy are a comprehensive approach, repeal of the depletion allowance, and quantitative limits as a management tool for conservation. Measures discussed are those which (1) protect against supply interruptions, (2) restrain and reshape energy demand, (3) manage new oil and natural gas, (4) encourage increased production of other energy supplies, and (5) reduce dependence on foreign imports of oil. Public Law 94-193, the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, consolidates five major bills and amends and extends the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973. This omnibus bill includes: S. 622, the Standby Energy Authorization Act; S. 677, the Strategic Energy Reserves Act; S. 349, the Energy Labeling and Disclosure Act; S. 1882, the Automobile Fuel Economy Act; and H.R. 7014, the Energy Conservation and Oil Policy Act.
