Status of Strategic Petroleum Reserve Activities--September 1981

In response to congressional requests, GAO reported on the status of the Administration's activities to implement the Energy Security Act. The act requires the President to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) at an average rate of at least 100,000 barrels per day for fiscal year 1981 and each succeeding fiscal year. GAO reviewed Department of Energy (DOE) and Defense Fuel Supply Center (DFSC) program documents and publications and studies related to the program.
