**(a) Establishment of standby conservation plan**
(1) Within 90 days after November 5, 1979, the Secretary, in accordance with [section 7191 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section7191&num=0&edition=prelim), shall establish a standby Federal emergency conservation plan. The Secretary may amend such plan at any time, and shall make such amendments public upon their adoption.
(2) The plan under this section shall be consistent with the attainment of the objectives of section 753(b)(1) 11 See References in Text note below. of title 15, and shall provide for the emergency reduction in the public and private use of each energy source for which an emergency conservation target is in effect or may be in effect under [section 8511 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section8511&num=0&edition=prelim).
**(b) Implementation of standby conservation plan**
(1) If the President finds—
(A) after a reasonable period of operation, but not less than 90 days, that a State emergency conservation plan approved and implemented under [section 8512 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section8512&num=0&edition=prelim) is not substantially meeting a conservation target established under [section 8511(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section8511/a&num=0&edition=prelim) for such State and it is likely that such target will continue to be unmet; and
(B) a shortage exists or is likely to exist in such State for the 60-day period beginning after such finding that is equal to or greater than 8 percent of the projected normal demand, as determined by the President, for an energy source for whi

TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
§ 8512
(ii) The President may, to the extent he deter-
mines appropriate, further adjust any State base
period consumption to reflect—
(I) reduction in energy consumption already
achieved by energy conservation programs;
(II) energy shortages which may affect en-
ergy consumption; and
(III) variations in weather from seasonal
norms.
(D) For purposes of this subsection, the uni-
form national percentage shall be designed by
the President to minimize the impact on the do-
mestic economy of the projected shortage in the
energy source for which a target is established
by saving an amount of such energy source
equivalent to the projected shortage, taking
into consideration such other factors related to
that shortage as the President considers appro-
priate.
(b) Notification and publication of targets
The President shall notify the Governor of
each State of each target established under sub-
section (a) for that State, and shall publish in
the Federal Register, the targets, the base pe-
riod consumption for each State and other data
on which the targets are based, and the factors
considered under subsection (a)(3).
(c) Establishment of targets for Federal agencies
In connection with the establishment of any
national target under subsection (a) the Presi-
dent shall make effective an emergency energy
conservation plan for the Federal Government,
which plan shall be designed to achieve an equal
or greater reduction in use of the energy source
for which a target is established than the na-
tional percentage referred to in subsection
(a)(3)(D). Such plan shall contain measures
which the President will implement, in accord-
ance with other applicable provisions of law, to
reduce on an emergency basis the u
