# § 6394. Prohibited acts

It shall be unlawful for any person—

**2** to violate any provision of title I or title II of this Act or this title [^1] (other than any provision of such titles which amend [^2] another law),

See References in Text note below.

So in original. Probably should be “amends”.

**(2)** to violate any rule, regulation, or order issued pursuant to any such provision or any provision of section 383 of this Act [42 U.S.C. 6363]; or

**(3)** to fail to comply with any provision prescribed in, or pursuant to, an energy conservation contingency plan which is in effect.
