The governor may implement the following procedures which apply to the private sector in a middle distillate supply alert:

(1) The governor may request refineries to maximize middle distillate production.

(2) The governor may request all non-essential commercial and industrial middle distillate users to curtail a percentage of monthly consumption to be specified by the governor at the time the supply alert is called. The governor may request wholesale purchaser-resellers to reduce deliveries accordingly.

(3) The governor may request all commercial and industrial users of middle distillates to switch to other fuels where feasible and when energy saving will be achieved.

(4) The governor may encourage wholesale purchaser resellers and retailers of middle distillates to manage their monthly allocations to make them last through the month.

(5) The governor may request residential energy consumers to voluntarily reduce thermostat settings to 65 degrees F during the day and 55 degrees F at night, except in cases when such action might jeopardize health or safety.

(6) The governor may request wholesale purchaser-resellers to not deliver middle distillate to large users (those with more than 1000 gallon storage tanks) unless they have less than one week's inventory.
