        resides.
    ``(b) Exceptions.--
            ``(1) The prohibition of subsection (a) does not apply if 
        the abortion was necessary to save the life of the minor

        physical injury, or physical illness, including a life 
        endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the 
        pregnancy itself.
            ``(2) A minor transported in violation of this section, and 
        any parent of that minor, may not be prosecuted or sued for a 
        violation of this section, a conspiracy to violate this 
        section, or an offense under section 2 or 3 based on a 
        violation of this section.
    ``(c) Affirmative Defense.--It is an affirmative defense to a 
prosecution for an offense, or to a civil action, based on a violation

        before the minor obtained the abortion, the parental consent or 
        notification took place that would have been required by the 
        law requiring parental involvement in a minor's abortion 
        decision, had the abortion been performed in the State where 
        the minor resides; or
            ``(2) was presented with documentation showing with a 
        reasonable degree of certainty that a court in the minor's 
        State of residence waived any parental notification required by 
        the laws of that State, or otherwise authorized that the minor 
        be allowed to procure an abortion.
    ``(d) Civil Action.--Any parent who suffers harm from a violation

SEC. 3. CLERICAL AMENDMENT.

    The table of chapters at the beginning of part I of title 18, 
United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item relating to 
chapter 117 the following new items:

``117A. Transportation of minors in circumvention of certain    2431''.
                            laws relating to abortion.
[A]: Child Custody Protection Act - Amends the federal criminal code to prohibit transporting a minor child across a state line to obtain an abortion (deems such transporting to be a de facto abridgment of the right of a parent under any law in the minors state of residence that requires parental involvement in the minors abortion decision). Makes an exception for an abortion necessary to safe the life of the minor.

Makes it an affirmative defense to a prosecution or civil action under this Act that a defendant: (1) reasonably believed that before the minor obtained the abortion, the required parental consent or notification or judicial authorization took place; or (2) was presented with documentation showing that a court waived parental notification requirements or authorized the minor's abortion.

Defines "abortion" as the termination of a pregnancy with an intention other than to increase the probability of a live birth, preserve the life or health of the child after live birth, terminate an ectopic pregnancy, or remove a dead unborn child who died as the result of a spontaneous abortion, accidental trauma, or a criminal assault on the pregnant female or her unborn child.

Imposes a fine and/or prison term of up to one year on anyone who has committed an act of incest with a minor and knowingly transports such minor across a state line to obtain an abortion.


[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

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 
Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 57a(a)(1)(B)). The Federal Trade Commission 
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

                shall be subject to a civil penalty of not more than 
                $1,000,000.
            (2) Method of assessment.--The penalties provided by 
        paragraph (1) shall be assessed in the same manner as civil

                    (A) each day of a continuing violation shall be 
                considered a separate violation; and
                    (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--

        potential collusion or other anticompetitive behaviors that can

        specific information.

        Commission shall withhold from public disclosure under this

                disclosure rules in subsection (b)(3).
            (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
