Such plan shall contain measures which the President will implement, in accordance with other applicable provisions of law, to reduce on an emergency basis the use of energy by the Federal Government. In developing such plan the President shall consider the potential for emergency reductions in energy use— (1) by buildings, facilities, and equipment owned, leased, or under contract by the Federal Government; and (2) by Federal employees and officials through increased use of car and van pooling, preferential parking for multipassenger vehicles, and greater use of mass transit.

The President shall transmit to the Congress and Transmittal to make public the information and other data on which any determina- Congress. tion under this subparagraph is based. (B) If the President determines such an energy supply interruption does not exist or is not imminent or such actions are not required, the conservation targets established under this section with respect to such energy source shall cease to be effective.
