Summary

Emergency Energy Conservation Act of 1979 - Directs the President, upon finding that a severe energy supply interruption exists, or is imminent, or that actions to restrain domestic energy demand are required, and transmitting same to Congress, to: (1) announce a national emergency energy conservation target; (2) notify the Governor of each State of the State emergency energy conservation target established for his State; and (3) notify the Governor of each State of the Federal implementation plan which would be imposed should such State be found in noncompliance with this Act. Directs the Governor of each State, upon notification of the State emergency conservation target, to submit a State implementation plan to the President. Directs the President to review any implementation plan submitted by a Governor, and approve it if the President finds such plan likely to achieve the conservation target in an equitable manner. Provides for the implementation of the Federal plan if a State has not submitted a plan or if an approved plan is not achieving the emergency energy conservation target of the State. Provides civil penalties for the violation of or failure to comply with any provision of this Act. Directs the President to monitor the implementation plans, make recommendations to the Governor, and submit an annual report to the Congress. Limits the effective period of any plan to 12 months unless the President finds the energy situation warrants an extension.
