ENERGY SUPPLY AND ENVIRONMENTAL COORDINATION ACT OF 1974 – AMENDMENT
AMENDMENT NO. 1303
(Ordered to be printed and to lie on the table.)
Mr. MUSKIE (for himself, Mr. RANDOLPH, Mr. BAKER, Mr. BURDICK, Mr. BUCKLEY, Mr. BIDEN, Mr. CLARK, Mr. DOMENICI, Mr. GRAVEL, Mr. McCLURE, Mr. MONTOYA, and Mr. STAFFORD) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by them jointly to the bill (H.R. 14368) to provide for means of dealing with energy shortages by requiring reports with
respect to energy resources, by providing for temporary suspension of certain air pollution requirements, by providing for coal conversion, and for other purposes.
Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, today the Committee on Public Works approved a proposed substitute amendment to H.R. 14368, a House-passed bill which is pending at the desk and which amends the Clean Air Act.
The Committee on Public Works' substitute deals with four issues:
First, the committee proposes to modify the coal conversion proposal of the House to narrow its application to assure, at a minimum, protection of public health.
Second, the committee proposes to limit exceptions to Clean Air Act to coal conversions in areas where public health-related primary ambient air quality standards are not now exceeded. Further, no coal conversions could take place where the conversion itself would cause public health standards to be exceeded.
Third, the substitute proposes to adopt an identical provision to the House bill relating to auto emissions to end any doubt as to what auto emission standards will be required for the 1976 model year vehicle.
Fourth, the committee proposes to clarify the relationship between the National Environmental Policy Act and the Clean Air Act.
In order to provide Senators an adequate opportunity to review the proposal, I ask unanimous consent that the text of the entire amendment be included at this point in the RECORD.
There being no objection, the amendment was ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows:
HR. 14386
Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the following:

SEC. 2. SUSPENSION AUTHORITY.
Title I of the Clean Air Act is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new section:
"ENERGY-RELATED AUTHORITY
"SEC. 119. (a) (1) (A) The Administrator may, for any period beginning on or after the date of enactment of this section and ending on or before the earlier of June 30, 1975, or one year after the date of enactment of this section, temporarily suspend any stationary source fuel or emission limitation as it applies to any person, if the Administrator finds that such person will be unable to comply with such limitation during such period solely because of unavailability of types or amounts of fuels. Any suspension under this paragraph and any interim requirement on which such suspension is conditioned under paragraph (3) shall be exempted from any procedural requirements set forth in this Act or in any other provision of local, State, or Federal law; except as provided in subparagraph (B).
"(B) The Administrator shall give notice to the public of a suspension and afford the public an opportunity for written and oral presentation of views prior to granting such suspension unless otherwise provided by the Administrator for good cause found and published in the Federal Register. In any case, before granting such a suspension he shall give actual notice to the Governor of the State, and to the chief executive officer of the local government entity in which the affected officer of the local government entity in which the affected source or sources are located. The granting or denial of such suspension and the imposition of an interim. requirement shall be subject to judicial review only on the grounds specified in paragraphs (2)(B), (2) (C), or (2)(D) of section 706 of title 5, United States Code, and shall not be subject to any proceeding under section 304 (a) (2) or 307 (b) and (e) of this Act.
"(2) In issuing any suspension under paragraph (1) the Administrator is authorized to act on his own motion without application by any source or State.
"(3) Any suspension under paragraph (1) shall be conditioned upon compliance with such interim requirements as the Administrator determines are reasonable and practicable. Such interim requirements shall include, but need not be limited to, (A) a. requirement that the source receiving the suspension comply with such reporting requirements as the Administrator determines may be necessary. (B) such measures as the Administrator determines are necessary to avoid an imminent and substantial endangerment to health of persons, and (C) requirements that the suspension shall be inapplicable during any period during which fuels which would enable compliance with the suspended stationary source fuel or emission limitations are in fact reasonably available to that person (as determined by the Administrator). For purposes of clause (C) of this paragraph, availability of natural gas or petroleum products which enable compliance shall not make a suspension inapplicable to a source described in subsection (b) (1) of this section.
"(4) For purposes of this section:
"(A) The term 'stationary source fuel or emission limitation' means any emission limitation, schedule, or timetable for compliance, or other requirement, which is prescribed under this Act (other than section 303, 111(b), or 112) or contained in an applicable implementation plan (other than a requirement imposed under authority described in section 110(a) (2) (F) (v)). and which is designed to limit stationary source emissions resulting from combustion of fuels, including a prohibition on, or specification of, the use of any fuel of any type or grade or pollution characteristic thereof.
"(B) The term 'stationary source' has the same meaning as such term has under section 111 (a) (3).
"(b) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, any fuel-burning stationary source
"(A) which is prohibited from using petroleum products or natural gas as fuel by reason of an order issued under section 8(a) of the Energy Supply and Environmental Coordination Act of 1974, or
"(B) which the Administrator determines began conversion to the use of coal as fuel during the ninety-day period ending December 15, 1973, and, consistent with the criteria established in this section should use coal after the expiration of any suspension approved pursuant to section 119(a) of the Clean Air Act, and which is located in an air quality control region in which applicable national primary ambient air quality standards are not being exceeded and which converts to the use of coal as fuel, shall not, until January 1, 1979, be prohibited, by reason of the applilication of any air pollution requirement, from burning coal which is available to such source. For purposes of this paragraph, the term 'began conversion' means action by the owner or operator of a source during the ninety-day period ending on December 15, 1973 (such as entering into a contract binding on the operator of the source for obtaining coal, or equipment or facilities to burn coal; expending substantial sums to permit such source to burn coal; or applying for an air pollution variance to enable the source to burn coal) which the Administrator finds evidences a decision (made prior to December 15, 1973) to convert to burning coal as a result of the unavailability of an adequate supply of fuels required for compliance with the applicable implementation plan, and a good faith effort to expeditiously carry out such decision.
"(2) (A) Paragraph (1) of this subsection shall apply to a source only if (I) the Administrator finds that emissions from the source will not cause or contribute to concentrations of air pollutants in excess of national primary ambient air quality standards and (II) if the source has submitted to the Administrator a plan for compliance for such source which the Administrator has approved, after notice to interested persons and opportunity for presentation of views (including oral presentation of views). A plan submitted under the preceding sentence shall be approved only if it (i) meets the requirements of regulations prescribed under subparagraph (B); and (ii) provides that such source will comply with requirements which the Administrator shall prescribe to assure that emissions from such source will not cause or contribute to concentrations of air pollutants in excess of national primary ambient air quality standards. The Administrator shall approve or disapprove any such plan within 60 days after such plan is submitted.
"(B) The Administrator shall prescribe regulations requiring that any source to which this subsection applies submit and obtain approval of its means for and schedule of compliance. Such regulations shall include requirements that such schedules shall include dates by which such sources must–
"(i) enter into contracts (or other enforceable obligations) which have received prior approval of the Administrator as being adequate to effectuate the purposes of this section and which provide for obtaining a long-term supply of coal which enables such source to achieve the emission reduction required by subparagraph (C), or
"(ii) if coal which enables such source to achieve such emission reduction is not available to such source, enter into contracts (or other enforceable obligations) which have received prior approval of the Administrator as being adequate to effectuate the purposes of this section and which provide for obtaining (I) a long-term supply of other coal or coal derivatives, and (II) continuous emission reduction systems necessary to permit such source to burn such coal or coal derivatives, and to achieve the degree of emission reduction required by subparagraph (C).
"(C) Regulations under subparagraph (B) shall require that the source achieve the most stringent degree of emission reduction that such source would have been required to achieve under the applicable implementation plan which was in effect on the date of enactment of this section (or if no applicable implementation plan was in effect on such date, under the first applicable implementation plan which takes effect after such date). Such degree of emission reduction shall be achieved as soon as practicable, but not later than January 1, 1979; except that, in the case a source for which a continuous emission reduction system is required for sulfur-related emissions, reduction of such emissions shall be achieved on a date designated by the Administrator (but not later than January 1, 1979). Such regulations shall also include such interim requirements as the Administrator determines are reasonable and practicable including requirements described in clauses (A) and (B) of subsection (a) (3) and requirements to file progress reports.
"(D) The Administrator (after notice to interested persons and opportunity for presentation of views, including oral presentations of views, to the extent practicable) (i) may, prior to the earlier of June 30, 1975, or one year after the date of enactment of this section, and shall thereafter prohibit the use of coal by a source to which paragraph (1) applies if he determines that the use of coal by such source may cause or contribute to concentrations of air pollutants in excess of national primary ambient air quality standards; and (ii) may require such source to use coal of any particular type, grade, or pollution characteristic if such coal is available to such source. Nothing in this subsection (b) shall prohibit a State or local agency from taking action which the Administrator is authorized to take under this subparagraph.
"(3) For purposes of this subsection, the term `air pollution requirement' means any emission limitation, schedule, or timetable for compliance, or other requirement, which is prescribed under any Federal, State, or local law or regulation, including this Act (except for any requirement prescribed under this subsection, section 110 (a) (2) (F) (v), or section 303), and which is designed to limit stationary source emissions resulting from combustion of fuels (including a restriction on the use or content of fuels). A conversion to coal to which this subsection applies shall not be deemed to be a modification for purposes of section 111 (a) (2) and (4) of this Act.
"(4) A source to which this subsection applies may, upon the expiration of the exemption under paragraph (1), obtain a one-year postponement of the application of any requirement of an applicable implementation plan under the conditions and in the manner provided in section 110(f).
"(c) The Administrator may by rule establish priorities under which manufacturers of continuous emission reduction systems necessary to carry out subsection (b) shall provide such systems to users thereof, if he finds that priorities must be imposed in order to assure that such systems are first provided to users in air quality control regions with the most severe air pollution. No rule under this subsection may impair the obligation of any contract entered into before enactment of this section. To the extent necessary to carry out this section, the Administrator may prohibit any State or political subdivision from requiring any person to use a continuous emission reduction system for which priorities have been established under this subsection except in accordance with such priorities.
"(d) The Administrator shall study, and report to Congress not later than six months after the date of enactment of this section, with respect to
"(1) the present and projected impact on the program under this Act of fuel shortages and of allocation and end-use allocation programs:
"(2) availability of continuous emission reduction technology (including projections respecting the time, cost, and number of units available) and the effects that continuous emission reduction systems would have on the total environment and on supplies of fuel and electricity;
"(3) the number of sources and locations which must use such technology based on projected fuel availability data;
"(4) priority schedule for implementation of continuous emission reduction technology, based on public health or air quality;
"(5) evaluation of availability of technology to burn municipal solid waste in these sources including time schedules, priorities analysis of unregulated pollutants which will be emitted and balancing of health benefits and detriments from burning solid waste and of economic costs;
"(6) projections of air quality impact of fuel shortages and allocations;
"(7) evaluation of alternative control strategies for the attainment and maintenance of national ambient air quality standards for sulfur oxides within the time frames prescribed in the Act, including associated considerations of cost, time frames, feasibility, and effectiveness of such alternative control strategies as compared to stationary source fuel and emission regulations;
"(8) proposed allocations of continuous emission reduction systems which do not produce solid waste to sources which are least able to handle solid waste byproducts of such systems; and
"(9) plans for monitoring or requiring sources to which this section applies to monitor the impact of actions under this section on concentration of sulfur dioxide in the ambient air.
"(e) No State or political subdivision may require any person to whom a suspension has been granted under subsection (a) to use any fuel the availability of which is the basis of such person's suspension (except that this preemption shall not apply to requirements identical to Federal interim requirements under subsection (a) (3) ).
"(f) (1) It shall be unlawful for any person to whom a suspension has been granted under subsection (a) (1) to violate any requirement on which the suspension is conditioned pursuant to subsection (a) (3).
"(2) It shall be unlawful for any person to violate any rule under subsection (c).
"(3) It shall be unlawful for the owner or operator of any source to fail to comply with any requirement under subsection (b) or any regulation, plan, or schedule thereunder.
"(4) It shall be unlawful for any person to fail to comply with an interim requirement under subsection (i) (3).
"(g) Beginning January 1, 1975, the Administrator shall publish at no less than one-hundred- and-eighty-day intervals, in the Federal Register, the following:
"(1) A concise summary of progress reports which are required to be filed by any person or source owner or operator to which subsection (b) applies. Such progress reports shall report on the status of compliance with all requirements which have been imposed by the Administrator under such subsection.
"(2) Up-to-date findings on the impact of this section; upon
"(A) applicable implementation plans, and
"(B) ambient air quality.
"(h) Nothing in this section shall affect the power of the Administrator to deal with air pollution presenting an imminent and substantial endangerment to the health of persons under section 303 of this Act.
"(i) (1) In order to reduce the likelihood of early phase-out of existing electric generating facilities, any electric generating power plant (A) which, because of the age and condition of the plant, is to be taken out of service permanently no later than January 1, 1980, according to the power supply plan (in existence on January 1, 1974) of the operator of such plant, (B) for which a certification to that effect has been filed by the operator of the plant with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Power Commission, and (C) for which the Commission has determined that the certification has been made in good faith and that the plan to cease operations no later than January 1, 1980, will be carried out as planned in light of existing and prospective power supply requirements, shall be eligible for a single one-year postponement as provided in paragraph (2).
"(2) Prior to the date on which any plant eligible under paragraph (1) is required to comply with any requirement of an applicable implementation plan, such source may apply (with the concurrence of the Governor of the State in which the plant is located) to the Administrator to postpone the applicability of such requirement to such source for not more than one year. If the Administrator determines, after balancing the risk to public health and welfare which may be associated with a postponement, that compliance with any such requirement is not reasonable in light of the projected useful life of the plant, the availability of rate base increases to pay for such costs, and other appropriate factors, then the Administrator shall grant a postponement of any such requirement.
"(3) The Administrator shall, as a condition of any postponement under paragraph (2), prescribe such interim requirements as are practicable and reasonable in light of the criteria in paragraph (2).
"(j) (1) The Administrator may, after public notice and opportunity for presentation of views in accordance with section 553 of title 5, United States Code, and after consultation with the Federal Energy Administrator, designate persons to whom fuel exchange orders should be issued. The purpose of such designation shall be to avoid or minimize the adverse impact on public health and welfare of any suspension under subsection (a) of this section or conversion to coal to which subsection (b) applies or of any allocation under section 8 of the Energy Supply and Environmental Coordination Act of 1974 or the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973.
"(2) The Federal Energy Administrator shall issue exchange orders to such persons as are designated by the Administrator under paragraph (1) requiring the exchange of any fuel subject to allocation under the preceding Acts effective no later than forty-five days after the date of the designation under paragraph (1), unless the Federal Energy Administrator determines, after consultation with the Administrator, that the costs or consumption of fuel, resulting from such exchange order, will be excessive.
"(3) Violation of any exchange order issued under paragraph (2) shall be a prohibited act and shall be subject to enforcement action and sanctions in the same manner and to the same extent as a violation of any requirement of the regulation under section 4 of the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973."
SEC. 3. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN REVISIONS
Section 110(8) of the Clean Air Act is amended in paragraph (3) by inserting "(A)" after "(3)" and by adding at the end thereof the following new subparagraph:
"(B) For any air quality control region in which the Administrator determines the applicable primary air quality standard is being exceeded, the Administrator shall review the applicable implementation plan and no later than ninety days after such determination report to the State on whether such plan can be revised in relation to fuel burning stationary sources without interfering with applicable national primary ambient air quality standards which the plan implements. If the Administrator determines that any such plan can be revised he shall notify the State that a plan revision may be submitted by the State within three months after the date of notice to the State of such determination. Any plan revision which is submitted by the State after notice and public hearing shall be approved or disapproved by the Administrator, after public notice and opportunity for public hearing, but no later than three months after the date required for submission of the revised plan."
SEC. 4. MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSIONS.
(a) Section 202(b) (1) (A) of the Clean Air Act is amended by striking out "1975" and inserting in lieu thereof "1977"; and by inserting after "(A)" the following: "The regulations under subsection (a) applicable to emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons from light-duty vehicles and engines manufactured during model years 1975 and 1976 shall contain standards which are identical to the interim standards which were prescribed (as of December 1, 1973) under paragraph (5) (A) of this subsection for light-duty vehicles and engines manufactured during model year 1975.11
(b) Section 202(b) (1) (B) of such Act is amended by striking out "1976" and inserting in lieu thereof "1978"; and by inserting after "(B)" the following: "The regulations under subsection (a) applicable to emissions of oxides of nitrogen from light-duty vehicles and engines manufactured during model years 1975 and 1976 shall contain standards which are identical to the standards which were prescribed (as of December 1, 1973) under subsection (a) for light-duty vehicles and engines manufactured during model year 1975. The regulations under subsection (a) applicable to emissions of oxides of nitrogen from light-duty vehicles and engines manufactured during model year 1977 shall contain standards which provide that emissions of such vehicles and engines may not exceed 2.0 grams per vehicle mile."
(c) Section 202(b) (5) (A) of such Act is amended to read as follows:
"(5) (A) At any time after January 1, 1975, any manufacturer may file with the Administrator an application requesting the suspension for one year only of the effective date of any emission standard required by paragraph (1) (A) with respect to such manufacturer for light-duty vehicles and engines manufactured in model year 1977. The Administrator shall make his determination with respect to any such application within sixty days. If he determines, in accordance with the provisions of this subsection, that such suspension should be granted, he shall simultaneously with such determination prescribe by regulation interim emission standards which shall apply (in lieu of the standards required to be prescribed by paragraph (1) (A) of this subsection) to emissions of carbon monoxide or hydrocarbons (or both) from such vehicles and engines manufactured during model year 1977.
(d) Section 202(b) (5) (B) of the Clean Air Act is repealed and the following subparagraphs redesignated accordingly.
SEC. 5. CONFORMING AMENDMENTS.
(a) (1) Section 113 (a) (3) of the Clean Air Act is amended by striking out "or" before "112(c) ", by inserting a comma in lieu thereof, and by inserting after "(hazardous emissions)" the following: ", or 119(f) (relating to energy-related authorities".

(4) Section 114 (a) of such Act is amended by inserting "119 or" before "303".
(b) Section 116 of the Clean Air Act is amended by inserting "119 (b), (c), and (e)," before "209".
SEC. 6. PROTECTION OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT.
(a) Any allocation program provided for in section 8 of this Act or in the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973 shall, to the maximum extent practicable, include measures to assure that available low sulfur fuel will be distributed on a priority basis to those areas of the country designated by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency as requiring low sulfur fuel to avoid or minimize adverse impact on public health.
(b) In order to determine the health effects of emissions of sulfur oxides to the air resulting from any conversions to burning coal to which section 119 of the Clean Air Act applies, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare shall, through the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and in cooperation with the Environmental Protection Agency, conduct a study of chronic effects among exposed populations. The sum of $3,500,000 is authorized to be appropriated for such a study. In order to assure that long-term studies can be conducted without interruption, such sums as are appropriated shall be available until expended.
(c) No action taken under the Clean Air Act, or under section 8 of this Act for a period of one year after initiation of such action, shall be deemed a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment within the meaning of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1939 (83 Stat. 856). However, before any action under section 8 of this Act that has a significant impact on the environment is taken, if practicable, or in any event within sixty days after such action is taken, an environmental evaluation with analysis equivalent to that required under section 102(2) (C) of the National Environmental Policy Act, to the greatest extent practicable within this time constraint, shall be prepared and circulated to appropriate Federal, State, and local government agencies and to the public for a thirty-day comment period after which a public hearing shall be held upon request to review outstanding environmental issues. Such an evaluation shall not be required where the action in question has been preceded by compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act by the appropriate Federal agency. Any action taken under section 8 of this Act which will be in effect for more than a one-year period or any action to extend an action taken under section 8 of this Act to a total period of more than one year shall be subject to the full provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act notwithstanding any provision of this Act.
SEC. 7 REPORTS.
The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall report to Congress not later than January 31, 1975, on the implementation of sections 2 through 6 of this Act.
SEC. 8. COAL CONVERSION AND ALLOCATION.
(a) The Federal Energy Administrator shall, to the extent practicable and consistent with the purposes of this Act, by order, prohibit, as its primary energy source, the burning of natural gag or petroleum products by any major fuel-burning installation (including any existing electric power plant) which, on the date of enactment of this Act, has the capability and necessary plant equipment to burn coal. Any installation to which such an order applies shall not be prohibited from using petroleum products or natural gas unless the installation is located in a region described in the first sentence of section 119(b)(1) and the Administrator has made the finding specified in section 119(b) (2) (A) (I) with respect to emission from such installation. A prohibition on use of natural gas and petroleum products under this subsection shall be contingent upon the availability of coal, coal transportation facilities, and the maintenance of reliability of service in a given service area. The Federal Energy Administrator may require that fossil-fuel-fired electric power plants in the early planning process other than combustion gas turbine and combined cycle units, be designed and constructed so as to be capable of using coal as a primary energy source instead of or in addition to other fossil fuels. No fossil-fuel-fired electric power plant may be required under this section to be so designed and constructed, if (1) to do so would result in an impairment of reliability or adequacy of service, or (2) an adequate and reliable supply of coal is not available and is not expected to be available. In considering whether to impose a design and construction requirement under this subsection, the Federal Energy Administrator shall consider the existence and effects of any contractual commitment for the construction of such facilities and the capability of the owner or operator to recover any capital investment made as a result of the conversion requirements of this section.
(b) The Federal Energy Administrator may by rule prescribe a system for allocation of coal to users thereof in order to attain the objective specified in this section.
(c) It shall be unlawful for any person to violate any provision of this section, or to violate any rule, regulation, or order issued pursuant to any such provision.
(d) (1) Whoever violates any provision of subsection (c) shall be subject to a civil penalty of not more than $2,500 for each violation.
(2) Whoever willfully violates any provision of subsection (c) shall be fined not more than $5,000 for each violation.
(3) It shall be unlawful for any person to offer for sale or distribute in commerce any product or commodity in violation of an applicable order or regulation issued pursuant to subsection (b). Any person who knowingly and willfully violates this paragraph after having been subjected to a civil penalty for a prior violation of the same provision of any order or regulation issued pursuant to subsection (b) shall be fined not more than $50,000 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
(4) Whenever it appears to any person authorized by the Federal Energy Administrator to exercise authority under this section that any individual or organization has engaged, is engaged, or is about to engage in acts or practices constituting a violation of subsection (c), such person may request the Attorney General to bring an action in the appropriate district court of the United States to enjoin such acts or practices, and upon a proper showing a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction shall be granted without bond. Any such court may also issue mandatory injunctions commanding any person to comply with any provision, the violation of which is prohibited by subsection (c).
(5) Any person suffering legal wrong because of any act or practice arising out of any violation of subsection (c) may bring an action in a district court of the United States, without regard to the amount in controversy, for appropriate relief, including an action for a declaratory judgment or writ of injunction. Nothing in this paragraph shall authorize any person to recover damages.
(e) Authority to issue orders or rules under subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall expire on midnight, June 30, 1975, but the expiration of such authority shall not affect any administrative or judicial proceeding pending on such date which relates to any act or omission before such date.
SEC. 9. EXTENSION OF CLEAN AIR ACT AUTHORIZATIONS
(a) Section 104 of the Clear Air Act Is amended by striking "and $150,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1974" and inserting in lieu thereof ", $150,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1974, and $150,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1975."
(b) Section 212 of such Act is amended by striking "three succeeding fiscal years." and inserting in lieu thereof "four succeeding fiscal years.".
(c) Section 310 of such Act is amended by striking "and $300,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1974" and inserting in lieu thereof ", $300,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1974 and $300,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30,1975."
