§6411 Reports

Summary

Within 2 years after October 11, 1996, and at least every 2 years after that, the Secretary of Commerce must send Congress and the Secretary of Energy a report. The report must look at whether the Council, together with market changes and Federal programs, affected propane users (residential, farm, industrial process, and nonfuel). The Secretary must consider input from propane consumers when possible, check for short- and long-term price effects and shifts in which market segments use propane, and, if harm is found, include recommendations to fix it. The Secretary can prepare reports more often if affected parties ask or the Secretary of Energy requests.
