“Idaho 324 acre-feet
“Utah 11,850 acre-feet
“Wyoming 2,150 acre-feet

“Additional rights are hereby granted to store in any water year above Stewart Dam, 35,500 acre-feet of Bear River water and no more 94 STAT. 11under this paragraph for use in Utah and Wyoming; and to store in any water year in Idaho or Wyoming on Thomas Fork 1,000 acre-feet of water for use in Idaho. Such additional storage rights shall be subordinate to, and shall not be exercised when the effect thereof will be to impair or interfere with (1) existing direct flow rights for consumptive use in any river division and (2) existing storage rights above Stewart Dam, but shall not be subordinate to any right to store water in Bear Lake or elsewhere below Stewart Dam. One-half of the 35,500 acre-feet of additional storage right above Stewart Dam so granted to Utah and Wyoming is hereby allocated to Utah, and the remaining one-half thereof is allocated to Wyoming.

 “B.

In addition to the rights defined in Paragraph A of this Article,

Additional storage rights.

further storage entitlements above Stewart Dam are hereby granted. Wyoming and Utah are granted an additional right to store in any year 70,000 acre-feet of Bear River water for use in Utah and Wyoming to be divided equally; and Idaho is granted an additional right to store 4,500 acre-feet of Bear River water in Wyoming or Idaho for use in Idaho. Water rights granted under this paragraph and water appropriated, including ground water tributary to Bear River, which is applied to beneficial use on or after January 1, 1976, shall not result in an annual increase in depletion of the flow of the Bear River and its tributaries above Stewart Dam of more than 28,000 acre-feet in excess of the depletion as of January 1, 1976. Thirteen thousand (13,000) acre-feet of the additional depletion above Stewart Dam is allocated to each of Utah and Wyoming, and two thousand (2,000) acre-feet is allocated to Idaho.

“The additional storage rights provided for in this Paragraph shall

Limitations.

be subordinate to, and shall not be exercised when the effect thereof will be to impair or interfere with (1) existing direct flow rights for consumptive use in any river division and (2) existing storage rights above Stewart Dam, but shall not be subordinate to any right to store water in Bear Lake or elsewhere below Stewart Dam; provided, however, there shall be no diversion of water to storage above Stewart Dam under this Paragraph B when the water surface elevation of Bear Lake is below 5,911.00 feet, Utah Power & Light Company datum (the equivalent of elevation 5,913.75 feet based on the sea level datum of 1929 through the Pacific Northwest Supplementary Adjustment of 1947). Water depletions permitted under this Paragraph B shall be calculated and administered by a Commission-approved procedure.

 “C. In addition to the rights defined in Article VI, Paragraphs A and B, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming are granted the right to store and use water above Stewart Dam that otherwise would be bypassed or released from Bear Lake at times when all other direct flow and storage rights are satisfied. The availability of such water and the operation of reservoir space to store water above Bear Lake under this paragraph shall be determined by a Commission-approved procedure. The storage provided for in this Paragraph shall be subordinate to all other storage and direct flow rights in the Bear River. Storage rights under this Paragraph shall be exercised with equal priority on the following basis: six (6) percent thereof to Idaho; forty-seven (47) percent thereof to Utah; and forty-seven (47) percent thereof to Wyoming. “D. The waters of Bear Lake below elevation 5,912.91 feet, Utah

Irrigation reserve.

Power and Light Company Bear Lake datum (the equivalent of elevation 5,915.66 feet based on the sea level datum of 1929 through the Pacific Northwest Supplementary Adjustment of 1947) shall constitute a reserve for irrigation. The water of such reserve shall not 94 STAT. 12be released solely for the generation of power, except in emergency, but after release for irrigation it may be used in generating power if not inconsistent with its use for irrigation. Any water in Bear Lake in excess of that constituting the irrigation reserve may be used for the generation of power or for other beneficial uses. As new reservoir capacity above the Stewart Dam is constructed to provide additional storage pursuant to Paragraph A of this Article, the Commission shall make a finding in writing as to the quantity of additional storage and shall thereupon make an order increasing the irrigation reserve in accordance with the following table:
Lake surface elevation,

No such fare shall be suspended, unless the Board determines that it may be unduly preferential, unduly prejudicial, or unjustly discriminatory or that suspension is in the public interest because of unreasonable regulatory actions by a foreign government with respect to fare proposals of an air carrier; or “(C) with respect to any proposed decrease filed after the date of enactment of this paragraph, the fare would not be more than 50 percent lower than the standard foreign fare level for the same or essentially similar class of service, except that this provision shall not apply to any proposed decrease in any fare if the Board determines that such proposed fare may be predatory or discriminatory or that suspension of any such fare is required because of unreasonable regulatory actions by a foreign government with respect to fare proposals by an air carrier. “(7)

“Standard foreign fare level.”

For purposes of this subsection, ‘standard foreign fare level’ means that fare level (as adjusted only in accordance with paragraph (9) of this subsection) filed for and permitted by the Civil Aeronautics Board to go into effect on or after October 1, 1979 and before the 180th day after the date of enactment of this paragraph (with seasonal fares adjusted by the percentage difference that prevailed between seasons in 1978), or the fare level established under paragraph (8), for each pair of points, for each class of fare existing on that date, and in effect on the effective date of the establishment of each additional class of fare established after October 1, 1979. “(8)(A)

Unjust or unreasonable fares, determination.

The Board is authorized, on the basis of oral evidentiary hearings before an administrative law judge, to determine that a fare between two points on October 1, 1979 is unjust or unreasonable. Such oral evidentiary hearing shall be completed within 180 days of enactment of this section, and the Board may establish such deadlines including the deadline for the judge’s decision as the Board may deem necessary to meet such requirement. If the Board determines that such a fare is unjust or unreasonable, the Board shall, on the basis of such hearing record, establish the standard foreign fare level between such points. “(B) Standard foreign fare levels shall not be established under this paragraph for points between which the passengers carried by United States carriers in foreign air transportation are, in the aggregate, more than 25 percent of the total passengers carried by United States air carriers in foreign air transportation during the most recent 12-month period for which data is available. 94 STAT. 47 “(C) The establishment of a standard foreign fare level under this paragraph does not permit a reduction in fares. “(D) No standard foreign fare level established under this paragraph shall take effect on or before the 180th day after the date of enactment of this paragraph. “(E) The authority given the Board by subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall expire on the 180th day after the date of enactment of this paragraph. “(9) The Board shall, within 30 days after the date of enactment of

In determining the standard foreign fare level, the Board shall make no adjustment to costs acutally incurred. In establishing standard foreign fare levels and making the adjustments called for in this paragraph, the Board may use all relevant or appropriate information reasonably available to it. “(10) The Board may by rule increase the percentage specified in paragraph (6)(C) of this subsection.”.

Mar. 8, 1980

[S.J. Res. 43]

 Whereas inexpensive and abundant energy permitted our great Nation to rise to a position of preeminence in the world community of nations; and Whereas events of recent years have shown that traditional energy resources are in potentially short supply and these massive changes in the world energy production and distribution system have made this subject a focal point of domestic and foreign policy; and Whereas the development of new energy technologies, including solar energy and other renewable resources, promise to reduce our dependence on insecure and hostile foreign cartels; and Whereas these fundamental changes require the update of our educational system at all grade levels to prepare our youth to meet the new demands which are being created; and Whereas a National Energy Education Day (NEED) will bring together teachers, school officials, parent groups, to help the Nation’s children understand the international energy crisis; and Whereas NEED must be a total educational effort, the start of an ongoing process which can demonstrate that to ignore the plight of an energy shortfall and to fail to seek sound remedies would be an error: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

National Energy Education Day.

Designation authorization.
That March 21, 1980, is proclaimed “National Energy Education Day” to commence an ongoing program of energy education in schools, both public and private, at all grade levels, and the President is authorized and requested to issue (A) a proclamation calling upon the general public and education institutions of the United States to observe this day with appropriate activities and ceremonies, and (B) to direct all appropriate Federal agencies to cooperate with and participate in, the celebration of “National Energy Education Day”.

(b)(1) The provisions of this subsection are enacted by the Congress— (A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such they are deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in 94 STAT. 394that House in the case of concurrent resolutions which are subject to this section, and such provisions supersede other rules only to the extent that they are inconsistent with such other rules; and (B) with full recognition of the constitutional right of either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner and to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that House. (2)(A) Any concurrent resolution disapproving a final rule of the Commission shall, upon introduction or receipt from the other House of the Congress, be referred immediately by the presiding officer of such House to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate or to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House, as the case may be. (B) If a committee to which a concurrent resolution is referred does not report such concurrent resolution before the end of the period of 75 calendar days of continuous session of the Congress after the referral of such resolution to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate or to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House, as the case may be, under subsection (a)(1), it shall be in order to move to discharge any such committee from further consideration of such concurrent resolution.

An amendment to the motion shall not be in order, and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion was agreed to or disagreed to. If the motion to discharge is agreed to or disagreed to, the motion may not be renewed, nor may another motion to discharge the committee be made with respect to any other concurrent resolution with respect to the same final rule of the Commission. (ii) A motion to discharge in the House may be made by presentation in writing to the Clerk. The motion may be called up only if the motion has been signed by one-fifth of the Members of the House. The motion is highly privileged (except that it may not be made after the committee has reported a concurrent resolution of disapproval with respect to the same rule). Debate on such motion shall be limited to not more than 1 hour, the time to be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the motion. An amendment to the motion is not in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to. (3)(A) When a committee has reported, or has been discharged from further consideration of, a concurrent resolution, it shall be at any time thereafter in order (even though a previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration of the concurrent resolution. The motion shall be privileged in the Senate and highly privileged in the House of Representatives, and shall not be debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not be in order, and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion was agreed to or disagreed to. (B) Debate on the concurrent resolution shall be limited to not more than 10 hours, which shall be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing such concurrent resolution. A motion further to 94 STAT. 395limit debate shall not be debatable. An amendment to, or motion to recommit, the concurrent resolution shall not be in order, and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which such concurrent resolution was agreed to or disagreed to. (4) Appeals from the decision of the Chair relating to the application of the rules of the Senate or the House of Representatives, as the case may be, to the procedure relating to a concurrent resolution shall be decided without debate. (5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, if a House has approved a concurrent resolution with respect to any final rule of the Commission, then it shall not be in order to consider in such House any other concurrent resolution with respect to the same final rule. (c)(1) If a final rule of the Commission is disapproved by the Congress under subsection (a)(2), then the Commission may promulgate a final rule which relates to the same acts or practices as the final rule disapproved by the Congress in accordance with this subsection. Such final rule— (A) shall be based upon— (i) the rulemaking record of the final rule disapproved by the Congress; or (ii) such rulemaking record and the record established in supplemental rulemaking proceedings conducted by the Commission in accordance with section 553 of title 5, United States Code, in any case in which the Commission determines that it is necessary to supplement the existing rulemaking record; and (B) may contain such changes as the Commission considers necessary or appropriate. (2) The Commission, after promulgating a final rule under this subsection, shall submit the final rule to the Congress in accordance with subsection (a)(1). (d) Congressional inaction on, or rejection of, a concurrent resolution of disapproval under this section shall not be construed as an expression of approval of the final rule involved, and shall not be construed to create any presumption of validity with respect to such final rule. (e)(1) The Comptroller General shall prepare a report which examines

Asbestos School Hazard Detection and Control Act of 1980.

20 USC 3601 note.
short title Section 1. This Act may be cited as the “Asbestos School Hazard Detection and Control Act of 1980”.
findings and purposes Sec. 2. (a) The Congress finds that—

20 USC 3601.

 (1) exposure to asbestos fibers has been identified over a long period of time and by reputable medical and scientific evidence as significantly increasing the incidence of cancer and other severe or fatal diseases, such as asbestosis; (2) medical evidence has suggested that children may be particularly vulnerable to environmentally induced cancers; (3) medical science has not established any minimum level of exposure to asbestos fibers which is considered to be safe to individuals exposed to the fibers; (4) substantial amounts of asbestos, particularly in sprayed form, have been used in school buildings, especially during the period 1946 through 1972; (5) partial surveys in some States have indicated that (A) in a number of school buildings materials containing asbestos fibers have become damaged or friable, causing asbestos fibers to be dislodged into the air, and (B) asbestos concentrations far exceeding normal ambient air levels have been found in school buildings containing such damaged materials; (6) the presence in school buildings of friable or easily damaged asbestos creates an unwarranted hazard to the health of the school children and school employees who are exposed to such materials; (7) the Department of Health and Human Services and the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as several States, have attempted to publicize the potential hazards to school children and employees from exposure to asbestos fibers, but there is no systematic program for identifying hazardous conditions in schools or for remedying those conditions; (8) because there is no Federal health standard regulating the concentration of asbestos fibers in noncommercial workplace environments such as schools, school employees and students 94 STAT. 488may be exposed to hazardous concentrations of asbestos fibers in the school buildings which they use each day; (9) without an improved program of information distribution, technical and scientific assistance, and financial support, many local educational agencies and States will not be able to mitigate the potential asbestos hazards in their schools; and (10) the effective regulation of interstate commerce for the protection of the public health requires the establishment of programs under this Act to identify and mitigate hazards from exposure to asbestos fibers and materials emitting such fibers.

 If any person fails to pay an assessment of a civil penalty after it has become a final and unappealable order, or after the appropriate court of appeals has entered final judgment in favor of the Secretary, the Secretary shall refer the matter to the Attorney General who shall recover the amount assessed in any appropriate district court of the United States.

[H.R. 2759]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act.

30 USC 1401 note.
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the “Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act”.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

30 USC 1401.

 (a) Findings.— The Congress finds that— (1) the United States’ requirements for hard minerals to satisfy national industrial needs will continue to expand and the demand for such minerals will increasingly exceed the available domestic sources of supply; (2) in the case of certain hard minerals, the United States is dependent upon foreign sources of supply and the acquisition of such minerals from foreign sources is a significant factor in the national balance-of-payments position; (3) the present and future national interest of the United States requires the availability of hard mineral resources which is independent of the export policies of foreign nations; (4) there is an alternate source of supply, which is significant in relation to national needs, of certain hard minerals, including nickel, copper, cobalt, and manganese, contained in the nodules existing in great abundance on the deep seabed; (5) the nations of the world, including the United States, will benefit if the hard mineral resources of the deep seabed beyond limits of national jurisdiction can be developed and made available for their use; (6) in particular, future access to the nickel, copper, cobalt, and manganese resources of the deep seabed will be important to the industrial needs of the nations of the world, both developed and developing; (7) on December 17, 1970, the United States supported (by affirmative vote) the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2749 (XXV) declaring inter alia the principle that the mineral resources of the deep seabed are the common heritage of mankind, with the expectation that this principle would be legally defined under the terms of a comprehensive international Law of the Sea Treaty yet to be agreed upon; (8) it is in the national interest of the United States and other nations to encourage a widely acceptable Law of the Sea Treaty, which will provide a new legal order for the oceans covering a broad range of ocean interests, including exploration for and commercial recovery of hard mineral resources of the deep seabed; 94 STAT. 554 (9) the negotiations to conclude such a Treaty and establish the international regime governing the exercise of rights over, and exploration of, the resources of the deep seabed, referred to in General Assembly Resolution 2749 (XXV) are in progress but may not be concluded in the near future; (10) even if such negotiations are completed promptly, much time will elapse before such an international regime is established and in operation; (11) development of technology required for the exploration and recovery of hard mineral resources of the deep seabed will require substantial investment for many years before commercial production can occur, and must proceed at this time if deep seabed minerals are to be available when needed; (12) it is the legal opinion of the United States that exploration for and commercial recovery of hard mineral resources of the deep seabed are freedoms of the high seas subject to a duty of reasonable regard to the interests of other states in their exercise of those and other freedoms recognized by general principles of international law; (13) pending a Law of the Sea Treaty, and in the absence of agreement among states on applicable principles of international law, the uncertainty among potential investors as to the future legal regime is likely to discourage or prevent the investments necessary to develop deep seabed mining technology; (14) pending a Law of the Sea Treaty, the protection of the marine environment from damage caused by exploration or recovery of hard mineral resources of the deep seabed depends upon the enactment of suitable interim national legislation; (15) a Law of the Sea Treaty is likely to establish financial arrangements which obligate the United States or United States citizens to make payments to an international organization with respect to exploration or recovery of the hard mineral resources of the deep seabed; and (16) legislation is required to establish an interim legal regime under which technology can be developed and the exploration and recovery of the hard mineral resources of the deep seabed can take place until such time as a Law of the Sea Treaty enters into force with respect to the United States. (b) Purposes.— The Congress declares that the purposes of this Act are— (1) to encourage the successful conclusion of a comprehensive Law of the Sea Treaty, which will give legal definition to the principle that the hard mineral resources of the deep seabed are the common heritage of mankind and which will assure, among other things, nondiscriminatory access to such resources for all nations; (2) pending the ratification by, and entering into force with respect to, the United States of such a Treaty, to provide for the establishment of an international revenue-sharing fund the proceeds of which shall be used for sharing with the international community pursuant to such Treaty; (3) to establish, pending the ratification by, and entering into force with respect to, the United States of such a Treaty, an interim program to regulate the exploration for and commercial recovery of hard mineral resources of the deep seabed by United States citizens; (4) to accelerate the program of environmental assessment of exploration for and commercial recovery of hard mineral94 STAT. 555 resources of the deep seabed and assure that such exploration and recovery activities are conducted in a manner which will encourage the conservation of such resources, protect the quality of the environment, and promote the safety of life and property at sea; and (5) to encourage the continued development of technology necessary to recover the hard mineral resources of the deep seabed.
SEC. 3. INTERNATIONAL OBJECTIVES OF THIS ACT.

30 USC 1402.

 (a) Disclaimer of Extraterritorial Sovereignty.— By the enactment of this Act, the United States— (1) exercises its jurisdiction over United States citizens and vessels, and foreign persons and vessels otherwise subject to its jurisdiction, in the exercise of the high seas freedom to engage in exploration for, and commercial recovery of, hard mineral resources of the deep seabed in accordance with generally accepted principles of international law recognized by the United States; but (2) does not thereby assert sovereignty or sovereign or exclusive rights or jurisdiction over, or the ownership of, any areas or resources in the deep seabed. (b) Secretary of State.— (1) The Secretary of State is encouraged to negotiate successfully a comprehensive Law of the Sea Treaty which, among other things, provides assured and nondiscriminatory access to the hard mineral resources of the deep seabed for all nations, gives legal definition to the principle that the resources of the deep seabed are the common heritage of mankind, and provides for the establishment of requirements for the protection of the quality of the environment as stringent as those promulgated pursuant to this Act. (2) Until such a Treaty is concluded, the Secretary of State is encouraged to promote any international actions necessary to adequately protect the environment from adverse impacts which may result from any exploration for and commercial recovery of hard mineral resources of the deep seabed carried out by persons not subject to this Act.

Report to Congress.

Secretary of Transportation, submit to the Congress within 9 months after the date of the enactment of this Act a report on— (1) the need for, and practicality of, mandating through legislation that any new motor vehicle sold in the United States shall be capable of using alcohol as a motor fuel in specified alcohol-gasoline mixtures, or using alcohol as the only fuel; (2) the need for any other legislation to address technical or institutional barriers to the widespread marketing of alcohol, including requirements that would mandate specified proportions of alcohol in all motor gasoline sold; and (3) any other aspects of the use of alcohol as a motor fuel, as the Secretary considers appropriate.
natural gas priorities Sec. 273. For the purposes of section 401 of the Natural Gas Policy

Essential agricultural use.

15 USC 3391a.

15 USC 3391.

Act of 1978 (Public Law 95–621), the term “essential agricultural use shall— (1) include use of natural gas in sugar refining for production of alcohol; (2) include use of natural gas for agricultural production on set-aside acreage or acreage diverted from the production of a commodity (as provided under the Agricultural Act of 1949) to be

7 USC 1421 note.

devoted to the production of any commodity for conversion into alcohol or hydrocarbons for use as motor fuel or other fuels; and (3) for the 5-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, include use of natural gas in the distillation of fuel-grade alcohol from food grains or other biomass by facilities in existence on the date of the enactment of this Act which do not have the installed capability to burn coal lawfully.
standby authority for allocation of alcohol fuel Sec. 274. Section 4 of the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new

15 USC 753.

subsection: “(f) (1) If the President finds that there are significant quantities of alcohol available for use in motor fuel that are not being used for that purpose because of an unavailability of crude oil with respect to a refiner or unavailability of gasoline with respect to persons engaged in marketing of petroleum products, the President shall, to the extent practicable and subject to the provisions of this Act, use the authorities under subsection (a) to provide for the allocation of— “(A) crude oil to refineries engaged in the production of refined petroleum products to be mixed with alcohol, and “(B) refined petroleum products to persons engaged in the marketing of petroleum products, so as to result in the use of such quantities of alcohol in motor fuel. “(2) In exercising such authorities pursuant to this subsection, the President shall— 94 STAT. 712 “(A) seek to avoid disruption of crude oil and refined petroleum product markets and to avoid causing unreasonable increases in the price of alcohol, and “(B) give due consideration to the adequacy of quality control in any refinery operations related to the receipt of an allocation of crude oil. “(3)

“Alcohol.’

purpose of the act Sec. 2. This Act is part of the continuing effort by Congress to

49 USC 10101 note.

reduce unnecessary regulation by the Federal Government.
congressional findings Sec. 3. (a) The Congress hereby finds that a safe, sound, competitive,

49 USC 10101 note.

and fuel efficient motor carrier system is vital to the maintenance of a strong national economy and a strong national defense; that the statutes governing Federal regulation of the motor carrier industry are outdated and must be revised to reflect the transportation needs and realities of the 1980’s; that historically the existing regulatory structure has tended in certain circumstances to inhibit market entry, carrier growth, maximum utilization of equipment and energy resources, and opportunities for minorities and others to enter the trucking industry; that protective refutation has resulted in some operating inefficiencies and some anticompetitive pricing; that in order to reduce the uncertainty felt by the Nation’s transportation industry, the Interstate Commerce Commission should be given explicit direction for regulation of the motor carrier industry and well-defined parameters within which it may act pursuant to congressional policy; that the Interstate Commerce Commission should not attempt to go beyond the powers vested in it by the Interstate Commerce Act and other legislation enacted by Congress; and that

49 USC prec. 1 note.

legislative and resulting changes should be implemented with the least amount of disruption to the transportation system consistent with the scope of the reforms enacted. (b) The appropriate authorizing committees of Congress shall

Uphold the Constitution, laws, and regulations of the United States and of all governments therein and never be a party to their evasion. III.

findings and purposes Sec. 2. (a) The Congress finds that— (1) the supply of nonrenewable fuels in the United States is slowly being depleted; (2) alternative sources of energy must be developed; (3) ocean thermal energy is a renewable energy resource that can make a significant contribution to the energy needs of the United States; (4) the technology base for ocean thermal energy conversion has improved over the past two years, and has consequently lowered the technical risk involved in constructing moderate-sized pilot plants with an electrical generating capacity of about ten to forty megawatts; (5) while the Federal ocean thermal energy conversion program has grown in size and scope over the past several years, it is in the national interest to accelerate efforts to commercialize ocean thermal energy conversion by building pilot and demonstration facilities and to begin planning for the commercial demonstration of ocean thermal energy conversion technology; (6) a strong and innovative domestic industry committed to the commercialization of ocean thermal energy conversion must be established, and many competent domestic industrial groups are already involved in ocean thermal energy conversion research and development activity; and (7) consistent with the findings of the Domestic Policy Review on Solar Energy, ocean thermal energy conversion energy can potentially contribute at least one-tenth of quad of energy per year by the year 2000. (b) Therefore, the purpose of this Act is to accelerate ocean thermal energy conversion technology development to provide a technical base for meeting the following goals: (1) demonstration by 1986 of at least one hundred megawatts of electrical capacity or energy product equivalent from ocean thermal energy conversion systems; (2) demonstration by 1989 of at least five hundred megawatts of electrical capacity or energy product equivalent from ocean thermal energy conversion systems; (3) achievement in the mid-1990’s, for the gulf coast region of the continental United States and for islands in the United94 STAT. 942 States, its possessions and its territories, an average cost of electricity or energy product equivalent produced by installed ocean thermal energy conversion systems that is competitive with conventional energy sources; and (4) establish as a national goal ten thousand megawatts of electrical capacity or energy product equivalent from ocean thermal energy conversion systems by the year 1999.
comprehensive program management plan Sec. 3.
