[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Federal Response to Energy 
Emergencies Act of 2005''.

SEC. 2. UNCONSCIONABLE PRICING OF GASOLINE, OIL, NATURAL GAS, AND 
              PETROLEUM DISTILLATES DURING EMERGENCIES.

    (a) Unconscionable Pricing.--
            (1) In general.--During any energy emergency declared by 
        the President under section 3, it is unlawful for any person to 
        sell crude oil, gasoline, natural gas, or petroleum distillates 
        in, or for use in, the area to which that declaration applies 
        at a price that--
                    (A) is unconscionably excessive; or
                    (B) indicates the seller is taking unfair advantage 
                of the circumstances to increase prices unreasonably.
            (2) Factors considered.--In determining whether a violation 
        of paragraph (1) has occurred, there shall be taken into 
        account, among other factors, whether--
                    (A) the amount charged represents a gross disparity 
                between the price of the crude oil, gasoline, natural 
                gas, or petroleum distillate sold and the price at 
                which it was offered for sale in the usual course of 
                the seller's business immediately prior to the energy 
                emergency; or
                    (B) the amount charged grossly exceeds the price at 
                which the same or similar crude oil, gasoline, natural 
                gas, or petroleum distillate was readily obtainable by 
                other purchasers in the area to which the declaration 
                applies.
            (3) Mitigating factors.--In determining whether a violation 
        of paragraph (1) has occurred, there also shall be taken into 
        account, among other factors, whether the price at which the 
        crude oil, gasoline, natural gas, or petroleum distillate was 
        sold reasonably reflects additional costs, not within the 
        control of the seller, that were paid or incurred by the 
        seller.
    (b) False Pricing Information.--It is unlawful for any person to 
report information related to the wholesale price of crude oil, 
gasoline, natural gas, or petroleum distillates to the Federal Trade 
Commission if--
            (1) that person knew, or reasonably should have known, the 
        information to be false or misleading;
            (2) the information was required by law to be reported; and
            (3) the person intended the false or misleading data to 
        affect data compiled by that department or agency for 
        statistical or analytical purposes with respect to the market 
        for crude oil, gasoline, natural gas, or petroleum distillates.
    (c) Market Manipulation.--It is unlawful for any person, directly 
or indirectly, to use or employ, in connection with the purchase or 
sale of crude oil, gasoline, natural gas, or petroleum distillates at 
wholesale, any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance, in 
contravention of such rules and regulations as the Federal Trade 
Commission may prescribe as necessary or appropriate in the public 
interest or for the protection of United States citizens.
    (d) Rulemaking.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Federal Trade Commission shall promulgate 
rules necessary and appropriate to enforce this section.

SEC. 3. DECLARATION OF ENERGY EMERGENCY.

    (a) In General.--If the President finds that the health, safety, 
welfare, or economic well-being of the citizens of the United States is 
at risk because of a shortage or imminent shortage of adequate supplies 
of crude oil, gasoline, natural gas, or petroleum distillates due to a 
disruption of the national distribution system for crude oil, gasoline, 
natural gas, or petroleum distillates (including such a shortage 
related to a major disaster (as defined in section 102(2) of the Robert 
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 
5122))), or significant pricing anomalies in national or regional 
energy markets for crude oil, gasoline, natural gas, or petroleum 
distillates of a more than transient nature, the President may declare 
that a Federal energy emergency exists.
    (b) Scope and Duration.--The declaration shall apply to the Nation, 
a geographical region, or 1 or more States, as determined by the 
President, but may not be in effect for a period of more than 45 days.
    (c) Extensions.--The President may--
            (1) extend a declaration under subsection (a) for a period 
        of not more than 45 days; and
            (2) extend such a declaration more than once.

as a violation of a rule defining an unfair or deceptive act or 
practice prescribed under section 18(a)(1)(B) of the Federal Trade

shall enforce this Act in the same manner, by the same means, and with 
the same jurisdiction as though all applicable terms and provisions of 
the Federal Trade Commission Act were incorporated into and made a part 
of this Act. In enforcing section 2(a) of this Act, the Commission

                $1,000,000.
            (2) Method of assessment.--The penalties provided by

                    (B) the Federal Trade Commission shall take into 
                consideration the seriousness of the violation and the 
                efforts of the person committing the violation to 
                remedy the harm caused by the violation in a timely 
                manner.

SEC. 5. CRIMINAL PENALTIES.

    Any person who violates section 2 or any rule or order issued 
thereunder shall be fined under title 18, United States Code--

        section and time to make the information available, the Federal 
        Trade Commission shall seek to ensure that consumers and 
        competitive markets are protected from the adverse effects of 
        potential collusion or other anticompetitive behaviors that can 
        be facilitated by untimely public disclosure of transaction-
        specific information.
            (3) Protection of market mechanisms.--The Federal Trade 
        Commission shall withhold from public disclosure under this 
        section any information the Commission determines would, if

            (2) Published data.--In carrying out this section, the 
        Federal Trade Commission shall consider the degree of price 
        transparency provided by existing price publishers and

        publishers and services to the maximum extent possible.
            (3) Electronic information systems.--The Federal Trade 
        Commission may establish an electronic information system if it 
        determines that existing price publications are not adequately 
        providing price discovery or market transparency. Nothing in 
        this section, however, shall affect any electronic information 
        filing requirements in effect under this Act as of the date of

[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Public Health and Safety Act of 
1993''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS.

    The Congress finds and declares that--
            (1) the number of privately held handguns has more than 
        doubled--from 33,000,000 in 1973 to more than 70,000,000 
        today--in the past two decades alone, and the number of 
        handguns in circulation continues to increase by 2,000,000 
        handguns each year;
            (2) handguns play a major role, disproportionate to their 
        number in comparison with rifles and shotguns, in violent 
        crime, intentional and accidental death, and intentional and 
        accidental injury;
            (3) while the number of homicides committed with long guns 
        has remained relatively stable, the number of handgun homicides 
        has set new records every year since 1987, matching pace with 
        the skyrocketing national homicide rate;
            (4) the number of handgun-related incidents in elementary 
        and secondary schools has increased sharply, with significant 
        numbers of schoolchildren in rural and urban areas reporting 
        easy access to and frequent carrying to school of handguns; and 
        the presence of handguns in school not only provokes worry 
        among parents and children but also causes much needed school 
        funds to be diverted for purchase of security equipment;
            (5) handgun violence places considerable strain on the 
        national health care system and is a major contributor to its 
        escalating costs, with at least $4,000,000,000 being spent 
        annually on emergency care, hospitalization, follow-up care, 
        rehabilitation, and medication;
            (6) handguns kept in the home are of less value than is 
        commonly thought in defending against intruders, and they are 
        far more likely to increase significantly the danger of a 
        handgun fatality or injury to the inhabitants (including 
        children) than to enhance their personal safety;
            (7) violent crime and injury committed with handguns 
        constitute a burden upon and interfere with interstate and 
        foreign commerce, and threaten the domestic tranquility of the 
        Nation; and
            (8) current Federal firearms policy is wholly inadequate to 
        counteract the social, economic, and financial costs exacted by 
        handguns to our society.

SEC. 3. AMENDMENT OF TITLE 18, UNITED STATES CODE.

    Chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
