Congressional declaration of purpose (a) Objectives The Congress hereby declares that the general welfare and the common defense and security re- quire positive and effective action to conserve scarce energy supplies, to insure fair and effi- cient distribution of, and the maintenance of fair and reasonable consumer prices for, such supplies, to promote the expansion of readily us- able energy sources, and to assist in developing policies and plans to meet the energy needs of the Nation. (b) Necessity for reorganization The Congress finds that to help achieve these objectives, and to assure a coordinated and ef- fective approach to overcoming energy short- ages, it is necessary to reorganize certain agen- cies and functions of the executive branch and to establish a Federal Energy Administration. (c) Creation of Federal Energy Administration The sole purpose of this chapter is to create an administration in the executive branch, called the Federal Energy Administration, to vest in the Administration certain functions as pro- vided in this chapter, and to transfer to such Ad- ministration certain executive branch functions authorized by other laws, where such transfer is necessary on an interim basis to deal with the Nation’s energy shortages.
