Summary

The Administrator must develop and send to Congress and the President a complete plan to ease the energy shortage within six months from May 7, 1974.

The Administrator can change the plan later. If an appropriate committee of Congress asks, the Administrator must provide the analysis for any changes. The Administrator must also monitor any plan put into action to see if it achieves the expected benefits.
