Sec.  125.  (a)  After  notice  and opportunity  for  a  public
hearing-
     (1)  the Governor of any State in which a major fuel burning
  stationary  source referred to in  this subsection (or class or
  category thereof) is located,
     (2) the Administrator, or
     (3)  the President  (or  his designee),  may determine  that
  action under subsection (b) is necessary to prevent or minimize
  significant local or regional  economic disruption or unemploy-
  ment which would otherwise  result from use by such  source (or
  class or category) of - 
       (A) coal or coal derivatives other than locally or region-
     ally available coal,
       (B) petroleum products,
       (C) natural gas, or
       (D) any combination of  fuels referred to in subparagraphs
            (A) through (C), to comply with the requirements of a
          State implementation plan.
  (b) Upon a determination under subsection (a) - 
       (1) such Governor, with the written consent of  the Presi-
     dent or his designee,
       (2) the  President's designee with the  written consent of
     such Governor, or
       (3) the President
may by rule  or order prohibit any  such major fuel  burning sta-
tionary source  (or class or  category thereof) from  using fuels
other than  locally or  regionally available  coal or  coal deri-
vatives  to  comply  with implementation  plan  requirements.  In
taking  any  action  under  this subsection,  the  Governor,  the
President,  or the President's designee as the case may be, shall
take into  account, the  final cost  to the  consumer of such  an
action.
  (c)  The  Governor,  in  the case  of  action  under subsection
(b)(1),  or the  Administrator, in  the case  of an  action under
subsection  (b)(2) or (3) shall,  by rule or  order, require each
source to which such action applies to - 
     (1)  enter into long-term contracts of at least ten years in
  duration (except  as the President  or his designee  may other-
  wise permit  or require by  rule or order  for good  cause) for
  supplies of regionally available coal or coal derivatives,
     (2) enter into contracts to  acquire any additional means of
  emission limitation  which the  Administrator or the  State de-
  termines may be  necessary to comply  with the requirements  of
  this Act while using such coal or coal derivatives as fuel, and
     (3)  comply  with such  schedules  (including increments  of
  progress), timetables  and other requirements as  may be neces-
  sary to assure compliance with the requirements of this Act.
Requirements under this subsection shall be  established simulta-
neously  with, and as a condition of, any action under subsection
(b).
  (d) This section  applies only  to existing or  new major  fuel
burning stationary sources - 
     (1) which  have the  design capacity to  produce 250,000,000
  Btu's  per  hour (or  its  equivalent),  as determined  by  the
  Administrator, and
     (2)  which are not in compliance with the requirements of an
  applicable  implementation plan  or  which are  prohibited from
  burning  oil or natural gas, or both, under any other authority
  of law.
  (e) Except as may otherwise be provided by rule by the State or
the Administrator for good cause, any action required to be taken
by a  major fuel  burning  stationary source  under this  section
shall  not be deemed to constitute a modification for purposes of
section 111(a) (2) and (4) of this Act.
  (f)  For purposes of sections  113 and 120  a prohibition under
subsection  (b),   and  a  corresponding  rule   or  order  under
subsection (c), shall be treated as a requirement of section 113.
For purpo-ses of  any plan (or portion thereof) promulgated under
section  110(c),   any  rule   or  order  under   subsection  (c)
corresponding  to a  prohibition under  subsection (b),  shall be
treated as  a part of such  plan. For purposes of  section 113, a
prohibition under sub-section (b),  applicable to any source, and
a  corresponding rule  or order  under subsection  (c), shall  be
treated as part  of the appli-cable  implementation plan for  the
State in which subject source is located.
  (g) The President may delegate his authority under this section
to an officer or employee of the United  States designated by him
on a case-by-case basis or in any other manner he deems suitable.
  (h)  For the  purpose  of this  section  the term  "locally  or
region-ally  available coal  or coal  derivatives" means  coal or
coal deri-vatives which  is, or can in the judgment  of the State
or the Ad-ministrator feasibly be, mined or produced in the local
or re-gional area (as  determined by the Administrator)  in which
the major fuel burning stationary source is located.
