Show full summary
- Residents in eight Western states (Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington) could face fewer gasoline and diesel shortages during supply disruptions.
- The Reserve would set minimum capacities of 5.0 million barrels of gasoline, 3.0 million barrels of diesel, and 2.0 million barrels of jet fuel. For five fiscal years after establishment the Secretary would fill and maintain stocks at no less than 75% of those minimums using Congressional appropriations and revenues from emergency or test sales.
- The Department of Energy would identify and select a single suitable salt-cavern location within six months, consider proximity to distribution systems and regional needs, and pursue contracts with public or private operators for use and operation.
- The Secretary could withdraw fuel to respond to emergencies or supply disruptions and would be required to report to Congress within one year and annually thereafter on establishment, operations, and recommendations for future storage.

Refined fuel reserve for the West
If enacted, the Secretary of Energy would set up a refined fuel storage reserve for Western States within 6 months. The reserve would use salt caverns and hold gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Minimum capacity targets are 5,000,000 barrels of gasoline, 3,000,000 barrels of diesel, and 2,000,000 barrels of jet fuel. For five fiscal years after setup, the Secretary would keep each fuel at not less than 75% of those minimums, using congressional purchase funds and revenues from SPR emergency or test sales. The Secretary would pick one site in AZ, CA, ID, MT, NV, OR, UT, or WA, may contract with public or private operators, could withdraw fuel for emergencies or supply disruptions, and would pursue agreements to store non-Federal fuel and report to Congress annually starting one year after enactment.
