Pursuant to authority established through Article 3, Section 23 of the Constitution of Alaska, I hereby direct that there is administratively established the Alaska Energy Allocation Assistance Office within the Office of the Governor.

In conjunction with a recent agreement between the State of Alaska and the Energy Office for Federal Region X, the Alaska Energy Allocation Assistance Office shall employ necessary personnel to work in concert with a federally assigned Deputy Regional Director for fuels allocation.

As a part of the duties assigned this office the Alaska Energy Allocation Assistance Office shall be responsible for the allocation of any state "set aside" of allocable petroleum distillate fuels in conformance with federal regulations.

It shall also be a requirement of the Alaska Energy Allocation Assistance Office to establish and maintain an informational program through the public media advising Alaskans of the services available through the office and to conduct an informational effort to inform the public regarding energy conservation measures.

Dated this 24th day of January, 1974.
