Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES



Improvements Needed In

The Enforcement Of Crude

Oil Reseller Price Controls

The Department of Energy needs to
strengthen its enforcement procedures and
practices covering crude oil resellers' compli-
ance with crude oil price controls. The
Department should

    --develop written procedures for han-
    dling criminal cases which will assure
    (1) timely and meaningful involvement
    by the Justice Department in key deci-
    sions affecting the scope and approach
    taken in special investigations and (2)
    the referral to Justice of suspected
    criminal violations;

    --give adequate priority to pricing audits
    and commit enough audit staff to en-
    sure the quality of individual audits and
    the adequacy of overall audit coverage;
    and

    --develop a specific plan for promptly re-
    solving all regulatory issues with par-
    ticular attention to ensuring the resolu-
    tion of those issues impeding enforce-
      ment audits and investigative efforts.

 The Attorney General should review oppor-
 tunities to expand informal coordination
 channels to include regional level discussions
 of cases before formal referral of the case to
 him.
