Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Emergency Allocation Rules Fail To

Recognize Needs Of Petrochemical

Industry



The petrochemical industry uses petroleum
and natural gas for making its products as well
as meeting its fuel needs. However, current
Government allocation programs pertain solely
to fuel uses, not to the industry's material
feedstock requirements.

Failure to recognize the feedstock require-
ments could result in supply constrictions with
a disproportionate impact on the industry.

At this time, it is difficult to assess the feed-
stock requirements of the petrochemical in-
dustry because the Government lacks a def-
inition of the industry itself, and what data it
has is insufficient to provide a basis for an ef-
fective allocation program. GAO recommends
a number of actions to overcome these De-
partment of Energy deficiencies.
