Chapter 5 of Title 12 of the American Samoa Administrative Code ”Public Utilities and Energy” - Emergency Energy Conservation Plan

1. The basic concept of the Plan is to establish targets (percentages) of fuel usage and/or demand, require the suppliers/major users (Marlex, Union, ASPA, Canneries, etc.) to meet these targets and advise the TEO of the methods used and the results. Basic fuel supply and usage information is in Appendix I. In summary, at normal usage rates and with the Marlex fuel farm and all other facilities filled to capacity, there is a: a. 61 days supply of diesel fuel; b. 63 days supply of jet fuel; c. 79 days supply of unleaded motor gasoline; d. 142 days supply of regular (leaded) gasoline; e. 548 days supply of aviation gasoline. The greatest demand for fuel is for diesel fuel, followed by jet fuel, motor gasoline, aviation gasoline and others;

2. The Plan is divided into Phases of increasing stringency. When invoking the Plan the Governor may start with whichever Phase is deemed most suitable to the existing emergency. It is not required that Phases be followed in sequential order, or that complete Phases be implemented, because the various Phases may address shortages of different fuel stocks. Whenever any Phase, or part thereof, is implemented, all government-operated air conditioners, except those required for patient well-being at LBJ hospital and to safeguard equipment which is required to be operated within specified temperature/humidity parameters, shall be turned off. B. Energy Emergencies

1. An energy emergency can be deemed to exist when: a. A disruption in the tanker schedule occurs; b. The President of the United States declares that a major disruption has occurred or is about to occur; c. A state of national emergency or war is declared; d. A man-made or natural disaster occurs, i.e. tank explosion, flood, hurricane.

2. In the event of a disruption in the tanker schedule, the Governor may invoke this plan, in whole or in part. The severity and duration of the supply disruption will be the primary factors determining the implementation of the Plan. a. The local Manager of the Prime Supplier shall immediately advise the Director, TEO whenever there is a disruption in the tanker schedule. This advice will include the reason for disruption, such as a strike, mechanical failure, etc. and will include an estimate of the fuels remaining in days, at normal usage rates and the expected arrival date of the next tanker. This advice will be by telephone, with a confirming memorandum following. b. Upon receipt of the above information, the Director of the TEO shall immediately notify the Governor with a recommendation regarding implementation of this Plan.

3. In the event the President declares that a disruption has occured or is anticipated, he may direct the Governor to meet certain mandatory fuel savings targets which will be determined by the President at that time. Upon receipt of such declaration the Governor shall invoke this Plan.

4. In the event a state of national emergency or war is declared, the Governor may invoke the Plan in advance of any direction by the Secretary of the Interior, the President or Congress.

5. In the event of a natural or man-made disaster, e.g. hurricane, fire, explosion, etc., the managers or other designated, responsible personnel in the organizations of the suppliers (Marlex, Union Oil) and the major users (ASPA, Star Kist, Van Camp) shall provide the Director, TEO with whatever applicable information he may require in order to advise the Governor regarding the implementation of this Plan. The Commissioner of Public Safety, as the Disaster Assistance State Coordinating Officer, shall provide such Damage Assessment information as pertains to fuel receiving/distribution capabilities as is available to assist in determining the need for Plan implementation.

6. The Commissioner of Public Safety is responsible for enforcing the limitations imposed by this Plan, as requested by the Director of the TEO. C. Definitions. For purposes of this Plan, the following definitions apply:

1. Transient vessels are those vessels which are not registered and/or based in American Samoa, e.g., FORUM-Line vessels; Queen Salamasina.

2. Normal daily usage rate is a statistical average not adjusted for seasonal variations. III. THE PLAN -PHASE I A. In this Phase, public announcement of a disruption or impending reduction in supply is made by using all available media - TV, radio, OPI bulletin, newspaper, FAA communications, etc. - and voluntary reduction in consumption is requested. B. Actions and Responsibilities Actions Responsible Dept./Agency
