Summary

Energy Policy and Conservation Act Amendments of 1990 - Amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to extend all authorities granted under such Act through FY 1993. Directs the Secretary of Energy to amend the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) Plan to prescribe plans for completion of storage of one billion barrels of petroleum products in the Reserve. Extends to FY 1993 the period during which the President must implement petroleum acquisition, transportation, and injection activities until the quantity of crude oil in storage within the Reserve is at least such amount. Outlines the energy supply disruption conditions under which the execution of new petroleum contracts for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve may be temporarily halted. Declares that it is U.S. policy to encourage supplementation of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and other domestic petroleum product stocks by contracting for Supplementary Oil Reserve storage in domestic and foreign facilities. Authorizes the Secretary to contract for Supplementary Oil Reserve storage in non-SPR facilities and otherwise unused SPR facilities of petroleum products owned by any person or government. Subjects such stored products to the Secretary's existing drawdown and distribution authority.
