Prescribes procedures by which such a rule shall be approved by the Congress.

Authorizes the Administrator to promulgate one or more energy conservation plans which shall be designed to result in a reduction of energy consumption to a level which can be supplied by available energy resources.

Declares that any action taken under this Act or any other act resulting in the allocation of petroleum products and electrical energy shall be equitable, shall not be arbitrary or capricious, and shall not unreasonably discriminate among classes of users.

Allows the Interstate Commerce Commission, Civil Aeronautics Board, and Federal Maritime Commission to take any action necessary to conserve energy.

Provides that no provision of this Act shall be deemed to convey to any person subject to this Act any immunity from civil and criminal liability or to create defenses to actions under the antitrust laws.

States that to achieve the purposes of this Act the Administrator may provide for the establishment of such advisory committees as he determines are necessary.

Restricts exports of coal, petroleum products, and petrochemical feedstock under such terms as the Administrator deems appropriate.

Directs the President to take into consideration and to minimize to the fullest extent possible any adverse impact of this Act on employment including recommendations for revisions in unemployment insurance laws.

Authorizes appropriations to carry out the provisions of this Act.

Requires development of contingency plans to carry out rationing and conservation plans.

Title II: Coordination with Environmental Protection Requirements - Provides that the Administrator may temporarily suspend any stationary source fuel or emission limitation as it applies to any person if the Administrator finds that such person will be unable to comply with such limitation during such period solely because of the unavailability of types or amounts of fuels.

States that such exemption will be given only if the Administrator determines that emissions from the source will not materially contribute to a significant risk to public health.

Declares that for any air quality control region where there has been a conversion to coal, the Administrator shall review applicable implementation plans of the Clean Air Act.

Requires the Administrator to conduct a study on the necessity of a parking surcharge, management of parking supply, and preferential bus/carpool lane regulations as part of the applicable implementation plans required to achieve and maintain national primary ambient air quality standards.

Requires low sulfur fuel to be distributed on a priority basis to those areas of the country designated by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency as requiring low sulfur fuel to avoid or minimize adverse impact on public health.
