CHAPTER 15A--INTERSTATE TRANSPORTATION OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS
Sec. 715d. Enforcement of chapter
(a) Rules and regulations
The President shall prescribe such regulations as he finds necessary
or appropriate for the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter,
including but not limited to regulations requiring reports, maps,
affidavits, and other documents relating to the production, storage,
refining, processing, transporting, or handling of petroleum and
petroleum products, and providing for the keeping of books and records,
and for the inspection of such books and records and of properties and
facilities.
(b) Certificate of clearance for petroleum and petroleum products
Whenever the President finds it necessary or appropriate for the
enforcement of the provisions of this chapter he shall require
certificates of clearance for petroleum and petroleum products moving or
to be moved in interstate commerce from any particular area, and shall
establish a board or boards for the issuance of such certificates. A
certificate of clearance shall be issued by a board so established in
any case where such board determines that the petroleum or petroleum
products in question does not constitute contraband oil. Denial of any
such certificate shall be by order of the board, and only after
reasonable opportunity for hearing. Whenever a certificate of clearance
is required for any area in any State, it shall be unlawful to ship or
transport petroleum or petroleum products in interstate commerce from
such area unless a certificate has been obtained therefor.
(c) Review of order of denial of certificate of clearance
Any person whose application for a certificate of clearance is
denied may obtain a review of the order denying such application in the
United States District Court for the district wherein the board is
sitting by filing in such court within thirty days after the entry of
such order a written petition praying that the order of the board be
modified or set aside, in whole or in part. A copy of such petition
shall be forthwith served upon the board, and thereupon the board shall
certify and file in the court a transcript of the record upon which the
order complained of was entered. Upon the filing of such transcript,
such court shall have jurisdiction to affirm, modify, or set aside such
order, in whole or in part. No objection to the order of the board shall
be considered by the court unless such objection shall have been urged
before the board. The finding of the board as to the facts, if supported
by evidence, shall be conclusive. The judgment and decree of the court
shall be final, subject to review as provided in sections 1254, 1291,
and 1292 of title 28.
