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.

of not more than 45 days; and
