EX. ORD. NO. 11751. EXEMPTIONS FROM DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME AND
REALIGNMENTS OF TIME ZONE LIMITS
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.
Richard Nixon.
