      Ex. Ord. No. 11751, Dec. 15, 1973, 38 F.R. 34725, provided:
      By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 3(b) of the
    Emergency Daylight Savings Time Energy Conservation Act of 1973
    (Public Law 93-182) (hereinafter "the Act") [formerly set out
    above], section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code, and as
    President of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:
      Section 1. The Secretary of Transportation (hereinafter "the
    Secretary") is hereby designated and empowered to exercise the
    authority vested in me by section 3(b) of the Act [formerly set out
    above] to grant an exemption from section 3(a) of the Act (which
    establishes daylight saving time as standard time), or a
    realignment of a time zone limit, pursuant to a proclamation of a
    Governor of a State finding that the exemption or realignment is
    necessary to avoid undue hardship or to conserve fuel in the State
    or a part thereof.
      Sec. 2. In deciding to grant or deny an exemption or realignment,
    the Secretary shall consider, among other things, the policy of the
    United States, as expressed in sections 2 and 4 of the Uniform Time
    Act of 1966 (80 Stat. 107, 108; 15 U.S.C. 260, 261), to promote the
    adoption and observance of uniform time within the standard time
    zones of the United States and the convenience of commerce, as well
    as possible energy savings, undue hardship to large segments of the
    population, and the possible impact on the success of and
    cooperation with the national energy conservation program.
      Sec. 3. In carrying out his responsibilities under this order,
    the Secretary shall, as he deems necessary, consult with the
    Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, the Federal Energy
    Office (or any agency which hereafter may succeed to its
    functions), and any other interested agency and he may call upon
    those agencies for information and advice. Each interested
    department or agency shall assist the Secretary, as necessary, to
    carry out the provisions of this order.
