Sec. 6411. Reports
Within 2 years after October 11, 1996, and at least once every 2
years thereafter, the Secretary of Commerce shall prepare and submit to
the Congress and the Secretary a report examining whether operation of
the Council, in conjunction with the cumulative effects of market
changes and Federal programs, has had an effect on propane consumers,
including residential, agriculture, process, and nonfuel users of
propane. The Secretary of Commerce shall consider and, to the extent
practicable, shall include in the report submissions by propane
consumers, and shall consider whether there have been long-term and
short-term effects on propane prices as a result of Council activities
and Federal programs, and whether there have been changes in the
proportion of propane demand attributable to various market segments. To
the extent that the report demonstrates that there has been an adverse
effect, the Secretary of Commerce shall include recommendations for
correcting the situation. Upon petition by affected parties or upon
request by the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Commerce may
prepare and submit the report required by this section at less than 2-
year intervals.
