Standby Petroleum Emergency Authority Act of 1981

Summary

Standby Petroleum Emergency Authority Act of 1981 - Title I: Standby Petroleum Allocation and Price Control Authority - Amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to authorize the President to provide by regulation for the mandatory allocation of any petroleum product. Permits such regulations to be either mandatory emergency regulations effective upon promulgation or standby contingency regulations effective effective upon circumstances. Directs the President to promulgate an emergency preparedness plan consisting of standby contingency regulations. Prohibits the President from: (1) prescribing minimum prices; (2) imposing any tax; or (3) allocating gasoline or diesel fuel to end users through any system involving the issuance of ration coupons. Permits implementation of mandatory allocation regulations only if: (1) the President determines there is a severe petroleum supply interruption; and (2) the President transmits the regulations to Congress and Congress does not disapprove the regulations. Limits the duration of such regulations to 90 days, except that there they may be a 60-day extension. Provides that after the 60-day extension the President must make a new determination of a severe petroleum supply disruption and transmit a new notice to Congress. Provides for the preemption of any conflicting State or local program for the allocation or pricing of any petroleum product. Provides for state preemption if no regulation has been implemented under this Act. Permits as a defense to any action for breach of contract relating to any petroleum product that the breach was caused by compliance with this Act. Authorizes the President to delegate any authority under this Act to Federal agencies or to any State, except the authority to determine that a severe petroleum supply disruption exists. Sets the expiration date of this Act at June 30, 1985. Title II: Extension of Standby Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Rationing Authorities - Extends authority under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to carry out any rationing contingency plan until June 30, 1985.
