Part 3. Exercise
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Stable Oil Supply (SOS) Home Heating
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) more than 35 percent of families in the northeastern
United States depend on oil to heat their homes each winter,
and most of those families have no practical alternative to
paying the going price for heating oil or seeking public or
private assistance to pay for heating oil;
(2) consumers experienced sudden and dramatic increases in
prices for home heating oil during the winters of 1989, 1996,
and 1999, causing hardship to families and other people of the
United States, including people on fixed and low incomes,
people living in rural areas, the elderly, farmers, truckers
and the driving public, and governments that pay home heating
oil bills;
(3) a substantial part of each sudden increase in home
heating oil prices has been caused by vastly inadequate
supplies of home heating oil accumulated during the summer,
fall, and winter months by importers, refiners, and
wholesalers; and
(4) increased stability in home heating oil prices is
necessary to maintain the economic vitality of the Northeast.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to ensure that minimally
adequate stocks of home heating oil are accumulated in the Northeast to
meet reasonably foreseeable demand during each winter while protecting
consumers from sudden increases in the price of home heating oil.

''SEC. 157A. VOLUNTARY PLANS FOR HOME HEATING OIL RESERVE.

''(a) Submission and Development of Voluntary Plans.--Importers,
refiners, and wholesalers that hold primary heating oil inventories for
sale to markets in the Northeast, acting individually or in 1 or more
groups, should, for the purposes of ensuring stability in energy fuel
markets and protecting consumers from dramatic swings in price--
''(1) develop voluntary plans, in consultation with
interested individuals from nonprofit organizations and the
public and private sectors, to maintain readily available
minimum product inventories of heating oil in the Northeast,
possibly in combination with the hedging of future inventories,
to mitigate the risk of severe price increases to consumers and
to reduce adverse impacts on the regional and national
economies; and
''(2) submit the voluntary plans to the Secretary not later
than 180 days after the date of enactment of this section.
''(b) Certification and Report.--
''(1) In general.--If the Secretary determines that a plan
submitted under subsection (a)--
''(A) is likely to achieve the purposes of this
Act, the Secretary shall so certify, and the importer,
refiner, or wholesaler shall implement the plan; or
''(B) is not likely to achieve the purposes of this
section, the Secretary shall issue a statement
explaining why the plan does not appear likely to
achieve those purposes.
''(2) Report.--Not later than 240 days after the date of
enactment of this section, the Secretary shall submit to
Congress a report describing the findings and reasons for a

demonstrates that the action was specified in, or within the
reasonable contemplation of, a voluntary plan certified by the
Secretary.
''(3) Burden of proof.--A person interposing the defense
under paragraph (1) shall have the burden of proof, except that
the burden shall be on the person against which the defense is

this section, and annually thereafter, the Secretary shall submit to

shall establish a private home heating oil reserve for the Northeast in
accordance with this section.
''(b) Inventory.--
''(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the
Secretary shall periodically monitor supply levels as necessary
to ensure that each importer, refiner, and wholesaler of home heating
oil that stores home heating oil for sale in the Northeast shall have
in inventory and readily available to refiners in the Northeast a
quantity of home heating oil that the Secretary determines is equal to
the quantity that each importer, refiner, or wholesaler may reasonably
be expected to require to supply the needs of its customers during the
present or following winter season without subjecting consumers to
sudden price increases that are due in part to inadequate buildup of
heating oil inventories.
''(2) Limitation.--The Secretary shall not require any
importer, refiner, or wholesaler to store any product under
paragraph (1) in a quantity greater than 95 percent of the
average storage capacity for home heating oil reasonably
available to the importer, refiner, or wholesaler during the

that an inventory of home heating oil does not meet the
requirement of under paragraph (1), the Secretary may direct an
importer, refiner, or wholesaler to acquire, store, and
maintain in readily available inventories any quantity of home
heating oil that the Secretary determines to be necessary to
supply heating oil needs in the Northeast without subjecting
consumers to sudden price increases that are due in part to
inadequate buildup of heating oil inventories.
''(4) Regulations.--As soon as practicable after the date
of enactment of this section, the Secretary shall promulgate
regulations necessary to carry out this section, including
regulations that--
''(A) authorize civil penalties to enforce this
section; and

with State energy authorities in carrying out this
section.

inventories of heating oil that the importers, refiners, and

shall ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, that the manner of
implementation supports the maintenance of an economically sound and
competitive petroleum industry.

report describing the results of the implementation of the plan,
including specific compliance by importers, refiners, and wholesalers
