    [[Page 1245]]

                    duration, and of an emergency nature;

                      (ii) causes, or may cause, major adverse impact on

                    public health, safety, or welfare or on the economy; and

                      (iii) results, or is likely to result, from an

                    interruption in the supply of coal or from sabotage, or

                    an act of God;
    the President may, by order, allocate (and require the transportation
    thereof) for the use of any electrical powerplant or major fuel-burning
    installation, in accordance with such terms and conditions as he may
    prescribe, to insure reliability of electric service or prevent
    unemployment, or protect public health, safety, or welfare.

    6202(8)], the President may, by order, prohibit any electric powerplant
    or major fuelburning installation from using natural gas or petroleum,

    interruption. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, any
    suspension of emission limitations or other requirements of applicable

      (c) emergency stays.--The President may, by order, stay the
    application of any provision of this act, or any rule or order
    thereunder, applicable to any new or existing electric powerplant, if
    the President finds, and publishes such finding, that an emergency
    exists, due to national, regional, or systemwide shortages of coal or
    other alternate fuels, or disruption of transportation facilities, which
    emergency is likely to affect reliability of service of any such
    electric powerplant.

      (d) duration of emergency orders.--(1) Except as provided in paragraph
    (3), any order issued by the President under this section shall not be
    effective for longer than the duration of the interruption or emergency,
