![["The Deputy Petroleum Administrator has stated that due to a steel shortage, the nation is facing a tight situation in natural gas supplies. To address this issue, a nationwide order may be issued to limit new space-heating customers and new large-volume customers unless approved by the Petroleum Administration for Defense. Exemptions and modifications will be made based on gas supply availability, and consultations will be held with industry representatives before any decision is made. The proposed order would not be retroactive and would not apply to manufactured gas service. The goal is to protect current customers and defense activities while addressing the inadequate transportation of natural gas. Ultimately, the hope is that sufficient steel will become available to resolve the issue."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/82nd%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_1_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_1_3_30_0000-Interior%20Department%20-%20Departmental.%20Fish%20and%20Wildlife%20Service,%20Bureau%20of%20Mines,%20Bureau%20of%20Reclamation.,%201951-1952/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_1_3_30_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Steel Shortage Threatens Natural Gas Supply, May Result in Usage Restrictions")
![["Secretary of the Interior Oscar L. Chapman issued a statement regarding a tentative order by the Petroleum Administration for Defense to limit the use of natural gas. The order was necessary due to a shortage of steel for pipeline construction, which was hindering the expansion of gas transmission facilities. The restriction on gas sales was proposed to ensure sufficient supply for existing consumers and important defense plants. The order would only apply to certain areas where gas shortages were expected. Efforts were being made to consider the views of all interested parties, including gas distributors and equipment manufacturers, before issuing the final order."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/82nd%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_1_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_1_3_30_0000-Interior%20Department%20-%20Departmental.%20Fish%20and%20Wildlife%20Service,%20Bureau%20of%20Mines,%20Bureau%20of%20Reclamation.,%201951-1952/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_1_3_30_0012_thumbnail.jpg "Statement on Natural Gas Supply Limitations by Secretary of the Interior in 1951")
