(2) The National Transportation Database re-
ports that, in 2003, American commuters traveled 
over 440,000 miles using public transportation van-
pools, an increase of 60 percent since 1996. 
(3) According to the Natural Resource Defense 
Council, if each commuter car carried just one more 
passenger once a week, American gasoline consump-
tion would be reduced by about 2 percent. 
(b) ESTABLISHMENT OF PROGRAM.—The Secretary 
shall establish and carry out a program to encourage the 
use of carpooling and vanpooling to reduce the consump-
tion of gasoline. The program shall focus on carpool and 
vanpool operations, outreach activities, and marketing 
programs, including utilization of the Internet for mar-
keting and outreach. 
(c) GRANTS TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.—
As part of the program established under subsection (b), 
the Secretary may make grants to State and local govern-
ments for carpooling or vanpooling projects. The Secretary 
may make such a grant only if at least 50 percent of the 
costs of the project will be provided by the State or local 
government. If a private sector entity provides vehicles for 
use in a carpooling or vanpooling project supported under 
this subsection, the value of those vehicles may be counted 
as part of the State or local contribution to the project.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Hurricane Katrina 
Emergency Temporary Energy Price Freeze Act of 2005’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
(a) The Congress hereby finds that— 
(1) Hurricane Katrina has caused extensive 
damage to petroleum production, refining, and 
transportation facilities, and extensive damage to
port facilities and electricity generation facilities, 
causing additional shutdowns of refineries and loss 
of transportation capacity for petroleum products; 
(2) the shutdown of refineries and reduction in 
transportation capacity for petroleum products 
caused by Hurricane Katrina has led to massive 
price increases for petroleum products throughout 
the United States; 
(3) these massive price increases have caused 
severe hardships for millions of Americans who de-
pend upon affordable and adequate supplies of gaso-
line and petroleum products for transportation and 
other daily necessities; and 
(4) these massive price increases threaten the 
availability and affordability of many products in 
interstate commerce. 
(b) To address these problems caused by Hurricane 
Katrina, the President should temporarily freeze the price 
of gasoline and other petroleum products to reduce the 
burden on millions of Americans and interstate commerce 
from rapidly increasing prices of gasoline and other petro-
leum products. 
SEC. 3. PRESIDENTIAL AUTHORITY TO FREEZE PRICES. 
(a) The President is authorized to issue such orders 
and regulations to temporarily freeze wholesale and retail
prices of gasoline and other petroleum products at or 
below the levels prevailing on August 27, 2005. Such or-
ders and regulations may provide for the making of such 
adjustments as may be necessary to prevent any gross in-
equities. 
(b) The President may delegate the performance of 
any function under this Act to such officers, departments, 
and agencies of the United States as the President con-
siders appropriate. 
SEC. 4. ENFORCEMENT. 
(a) Whoever willfully violates any order or regulation 
under this section shall be fined an amount up to three 
times the amount of the gain from such violation. 
(b) The President, or any person delegated authority 
under this Act by the President, shall have authority to 
seek a temporary or permanent injunction in the proper 
United States district court to prevent or halt violations 
of orders or regulations issued under this Act. 
SEC. 5. TERMINATION OF AUTHORITY. 
The authority under this Act shall terminate upon a 
finding by the President that the domestic supply of petro-
leum products meets or exceeds the level of domestic sup-
ply as of August 27, 2005.
