Proclamation 4813 of January 13, 1981
The President Second Continuation of Emergency Building Temperature
Restrictions -
By the President of the United States of America
I find that continued implementation of the Emergency Building Temperature
Restrictions, Energy Conservation Plan No. 2, is required in the national
interest. This Plan was transmitted by me to the Congress on March 1, 1979,
and approved by resolution of each House of Congress in the manner provided
by law.
This Conservation Plan was implemented by me approximately eighteen
months ago because it was clear in view of the unstable world production of
crude oil that we could not rely on imports to meet our normal demand. On
April 15, 1980, 1 continued this Plan in effect because of the decline in
worldwide crude oil production compared to the previous year, the prohibition
on imports of Iranian oil, and the threat to the stability of commerce in the
countries of the oil-producing Persian Gulf resulting from tensions between
Iran and Iraq and the Soviet Union's actions in Afghanistan.
Since then, war has broken out between Iran and Iraq, substantially interrupt-
ing crude oil production in those countries. This disruption is of significant
scope and is likely to be of substantial duration. New worldwide crude oil
production is now and is likely. to continue to be at least two million barrels a
day less than consumption through the first quarter of 1981. This shortage has
resulted in increased petroleum prices, and the combined effects of the
shortage and present and future price increases resulting from it may have a
major adverse impact on the national economy. The war between Iran and
Iraq, as well as border tensions between Syria and Jordan and the Soviet
actions in Afghanistan, have also greatly increased the threat to other sources
of petroleum supplies in the Middle East. Should other disruptions, result, they
are likely to be of an emergency nature and to further disrupt the Nation's
economy.
Because of these events, the risk to the Nation from our reliance on insecure
oil imports is greater than when the Plan was renewed approximately nine
months ago, as well as when the Plan was implemented approximately
eighteen months ago. Under applicable law, the findings that a shortage of
energy supply requires implementation of the Plan must be considered an-V
every nine months. I therefore renew the findings and determination contained
in Proclamation No. 4667 of July 10, 1979, and renewed in Proclamation No.
4750 of April 15, 1980, under sections 201(b) and 3(11) of the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. Sections 6261(b) and 6202(8)).
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of
America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the
United States, including section 201(b) of the Energy Policy and Conservation
Act (42 U.S.C. 6201(b)), do hereby proclaim that:
1-101. The finding and determination under sections 3(8) and 201(b) of the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6202(8) and 6261(b)) contained
in Proclamation No. 4667 of July 10, 1979, and renewed in Proclamation No.
4750 of April 15, 1980, are hereby renewed.
