(1) the administration of any emergency allocation powers delegated to the State by the President or any Federal agency;

(2) the implementation of a set aside program, for not more than one per centum (1%) of the petroleum products available for use in Pennsylvania, to alleviate hardship or meet emergency needs. A set aside program shall be established in conformity with any Federal law, regulations or executive orders governing petroleum allocation, and shall apply only to petroleum products found to be in a substantial shortage;

(3) measures to reduce the demand for or consumption of gasoline; and

(4) other measures identified by the Governor in his executive order proclaiming a state of emergency as necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare.

(1) In order to monitor supplies of petroleum products, the agency may require recordkeeping and periodic reports from petroleum suppliers. These reporting and recordkeeping requirements shall, to the maximum extent possible, employ Federally mandated reports and records, avoid any unnecessary duplicative reporting or recordkeeping, and minimize paperwork, recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

(2) Reports filed and records maintained pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed confidential.

(3) When a petroleum supplier or a company providing information to a petroleum supplier claims that the information requested by the agency is confidential, proprietary, market or trade secret information, or when the information is deemed confidential pursuant to this section, the agency shall not disclose such information publicly or to any other governmental agency unless the information is aggregated as part of a statistical report in which the date and individual companies supplying the data cannot be identified.

(4) No employe or appointee of the agency or other person may release information from a petroleum product company that would enable data provided by or relating to individual customers of the petroleum company to be identified as relating to or coming from the individual customer. Any person disclosing such information in violation of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, shall be subject to disciplinary action, including reprimand, suspension or termination, and may be ordered to make restitution to any injured or aggrieved party for losses or damages shown.

(5) In order to obtain information required pursuant to this subsection, the agency designated by the Governor to monitor supplies of petroleum products may receive or share information from any other Commonwealth, Federal or local agency: Provided, That the agency shall provide the same confidentiality to information recovered as is provided by the supplying agency.
