Sec. 8532. Middle distillate monitoring program


(a) Monitoring program

    (1) Not later than 60 days after November 5, 1979, the Secretary 
shall establish and maintain a data collection program for monitoring, 
at the refining, wholesale, and retail levels, the supply and demand 
levels of middle distillates on a periodic basis in each State.
    (2) The program to be established under paragraph (1) shall provide 
for--
        (A) the prompt collection of relevant demand and supply data 
    under the authority available to the Secretary under other law; and
        (B) the submission to Congress of periodic reports each 
    containing a concise narrative analysis of the most recent data 
    which the Secretary determines are accurate, and a discussion on a 
    State-by-State basis of trends in such data which the Secretary 
    determines are significant.

    (3) All data and information collected under this program shall be 
available to the Congress and committees of the Congress, and, in 
accordance with otherwise applicable law, to appropriate State and 
Federal agencies and the public.
    (4) Nothing in this subsection authorizes the direct or indirect 
regulation of the price of any middle distillate.
    (5) For purposes of this section, the term ``middle distillate'' has 
the same meaning as given that term in section 211.51 of title 10, Code 
of Federal Regulations, as in effect on November 5, 1979.

(b) Report

    Before December 31, 1979, the President shall submit a report to 
Congress in which the President shall examine the middle distillate 
situation, summarizing the data, information, and analyses described in 
subsection (a) of this section and discussing in detail matters required 
to be addressed in findings made pursuant to section 760a(d)(1) \1\ of
