|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Definitions In this section:
|
||
|
||
(1) Budget contract The term “budget contract” means a contract between a retailer and a consumer under which the heating expenses of the consumer are spread evenly over a period of months.
|
||
|
||
(2) Fixed-price contract The term “fixed-price contract” means a contract between a retailer and a consumer under which the retailer charges the consumer a set price for propane, kerosene, or heating oil without regard to market price fluctuations.
|
||
|
||
(3) Price cap contract The term “price cap contract” means a contract between a retailer and a consumer under which the retailer charges the consumer the market price for propane, kerosene, or heating oil, but the cost of the propane, kerosene, or heating oil may exceed a maximum amount stated in the contract.
|
||
|
||
(b) Assistance At the request of the chief executive officer of a State, the Secretary shall provide information, technical assistance, and funding—
|
||
|
||
(1) to develop education and outreach programs to encourage consumers to fill their storage facilities for propane, kerosene, and heating oil during the summer months; and
|
||
|
||
(2) to promote the use of budget contracts, price cap contracts, fixed-price contracts, and other advantageous financial arrangements,
|
||
|
||
to avoid severe seasonal price increases for and supply shortages of those products.
|
||
|
||
(c) Preference In implementing this section, the Secretary shall give preference to States that contribute public funds or leverage private funds to develop State summer fill and fuel budgeting programs.
|
||
|
||
(d) Authorization of appropriations There are authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section—
|
||
|
||
(1) $25,000,000 for fiscal year 2001; and
|
||
|
||
(2) such sums as are necessary for each fiscal year thereafter.
