SEC. 11. STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE. 
(a) REQUIREMENT.—
(1) DRAWDOWN.—Notwithstanding any other 
provision of law, if the President authorizes the mili-
tary to use force against the Republic of Iraq in cal-
endar year 2003, the Secretary of Energy shall 
drawdown and distribute petroleum from the Stra-
tegic Petroleum Reserve in quantities of not less 
than 500,000 barrels per day, to the extent nec-
essary to remedy a dislocation in the jet fuel market 
or an extraordinary increase in the price of jet fuel. 
(2) DISLOCATION IN JET FUEL MARKET.—For 
purposes of paragraph (1), a dislocation in the jet 
fuel market occurs when the inventories of United 
States domestic jet fuel (as reported by the Depart-
ment of Energy) decrease by more than 25 percent 
over the previous 3-year rolling average. 
(3) EXTRAORDINARY PRICE INCREASE.—
(A) IN GENERAL.—For purposes of para-
graph (1) and section 4, an extraordinary in-
crease in the price of jet fuel occurs when the 
quotient exceeds by 50 percent the average 
price for jet fuel reported to the Secretary of 
Transportation by air carriers for 2002. 
(B) CALCULATION
OF
QUOTIENT.—For 
purposes of subparagraph (A), the quotient is
calculated by dividing by 2 the sum of the Gulf 
Coast and New York Harbor 5-day spot aver-
age prices of jet fuel. 
(b) CESSATION.— The Secretary of Energy may 
cease any drawdown under subsection (a) if the Secretary 
determines that—
(1) there no longer is any dislocation in the jet 
fuel market; or 
(2) in the case of a drawdown resulting from an 
extraordinary increase in the price of jet fuel, the 
quotient calculated under subsection (a)(3) no longer 
exceeds by 50 percent the average price for jet fuel 
reported to the Secretary of Transportation by air 
carriers for 2002.
