 scarce energy supplies, to insure fair and efficient 

 distribution of, and the maintenance of fair and rea- 

 sonable consumer prices for, such supplies, to pro- 

 mote the expansion of readily usable energy sources, 

 and to assist in developing policies and plans to 

 meet the energy needs of the Nation.

 essary to reorganize certain agencies and functions 

 of the executive branch and to establish a Federal 

 Energy Administration.

 an administration in the executive branch, called 

 the Federal Energy Administration, to vest in the 

 Administration certain functions as provided in this 

 chapter, and to transfer to such Administration cer- 

 tain executive branch functions authorized by other 

 laws, where such transfer is necessary on an interim 

 basis to deal with the Nation's energy shortages.
