EPA AFV ACQUISITION REPORT - FY 2009
Executive Summary
This is the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) fiscal year (FY) 2009 annual report on the
Agency's performance in meeting the environmental stewardship transportation requirements of the
Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992, EPAct of 2005, and Executive Order (EO) 13423. This report was
developed in accordance with EPAct (42 U.S.C. 13211-13219) as amended by the Energy Conservation
Reauthorization Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-388), and in accordance with EO 13423, signed January
2007.
EPAct of 1992 requires that in FY 1999 and beyond, 75% of all non-exempt vehicle acquisitions by Federal
agencies must be alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). EO 13423 requires Federal agencies to increase
alternative fuel consumption by 10% annually compared to the prior year's alternative fuel usage
requirement. EO 13423 also sets a goal for non-exempt Federal agencies to reduce petroleum
consumption by 2% annually relative to a FY 2005 baseline. Exhibit 1 summarizes the Agency's
performance in meeting these requirements.

44,590 GGEs (10% increase relative to of 14.7% from the baseline
previous year's target of 59,349 GGEs)
In FY 2009, EPA acquired 125 AFVs and received four credits for utilization of biodiesel and one credit for
the acquisition of a dedicated AFV for a total of 130 EPAct credits. Compared to the EPAct requirement
of 91 credits (75% of the 121 non-exempt acquisitions), the Agency achieved 107% EPAct compliance in
this criteria for FY 2009.4 EPA has exceeded this EPAct requirement since FY 1999 and continues to set
a positive example for other Federal agencies.
In accordance with EO 13423, EPA was required to limit petroleum consumption to a maximum of
472,077 GGEs. EPA's actual petroleum consumption amount was 395,225 GGEs, representing a
decrease of 23% from the 2005 baseline consumption level, thereby exceeding the 20% reduction goal a
full six years earlier than required. This reduction nearly tripled the 8% cumulative petroleum reduction
requirement for FY 2009. If EPA petroleum consumption reduction rates remain constant, EPA will
exceed EO 13423 requirements through FY 2015.
For FY 2009, EPA did not reach the EO 13423 requirement for increasing alternative fuel consumption by
10% compounded annually. EPA's target goal for FY 2009 alternative fuel consumption was 65,284
GGEs and the Agency's actual consumption level was 51,133 GGEs, a difference of 14,151 GGEs.
However, EPA is confident that the Agency will meet EO 13423's overall requirement of consuming a
minimum of 115,654 GGEs of alternative fuel in FY 2015. The main obstacle for reaching this annual
requirement has been the lack of alternative fuel infrastructure.
Requirements for EO 13423 are listed as cumulative from FY 2005 baseline.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY EPA AFV ACQUISITION REPORT - FY 2009
Legislative and Executive Order Requirements
Section 303 of EPAct (42 U.S.C. 13212) requires that 75% of all non-exempt light-duty vehicles acquired
by Federal fleets in FY 1999 and thereafter be AFVs. The EPAct requirement applies to agency fleets
that meet the following criteria:
• Consist of 20 or more light-duty vehicles (vehicles less than or equal to 8,500 pounds gross
vehicle weight rating)
• Centrally fueled or capable of being centrally fueled
• Primarily operated in Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) or Consolidated Metropolitan
Statistical Areas (CMSAs) with populations of more than 250,000 according to 1980 census data
Emergency response and law enforcement vehicles that meet certain utilization criteria are exempt from
this requirement.
EO 13423 requires each Federal agency that operates 20 or more vehicles within the United States to
reduce its annual petroleum consumption by at least 2% each year through FY 2015, compared to FY
2005 consumption levels. Fleets may achieve the petroleum reductions in a number of ways, including
AFV acquisitions, increased alternative fuel use in flexible-fuel AFVs, improved fuel efficiency of non-AFV
acquisitions, reductions in non-AFV fleet sizes and vehicle miles traveled, and improvements in overall
fleet operating efficiencies.
EO 13423 also requires subject Federal fleets increase annual consumption of alternative fuels by 10%
annually relative to the previous year's alternative fuel usage target (i.e. compounded annually). If
measured cumulatively from the FY 2005 baseline, the annual increases are 10% for FY 2006, 21 % for
FY2007, 33.1% for FY2008 and so on.
The Energy Conservation Reauthorization Act of I998 amended EPAct to allow one AFV acquisition credit
for every 450 gallons of pure biodiesel fuel or 2,250 gallons of B-20, a blend of 20% biodiesel with 80%
petroleum diesel. These biodiesel credits may fulfill up to 50% of an agency's EPAct acquisition
requirements and do not carry over into subsequent years.
Section 701 of EPAct 2005 requires that subject fleets of each Federal agency use alternative fuel at all
times in flexible-fuel and dedicated AFVs. Agencies can request waivers from the Secretary of Energy, on
an individual vehicle basis, if alternative fuel for that AFV is unavailable or unreasonably expensive based
on specific criteria.
Section 310(b) of EPAct requires the head of each Federal agency to prepare and submit an annual report
to Congress outlining the agency's AFV acquisitions and future acquisition plans, beginning in FY 1999.
Federal agencies submit compliance data using the web-based Federal Automotive Statistical Tool
(FAST) database. Acquisition data submitted by EPA is included in this report as Attachments A, B, C, and
D.

As summarized in Exhibit 3, in FY 2009 the Agency acquired 125 AFVs and received four credits for
biodiesel fuel usage and one credit for dedicated AFV acquisitions, for a total of 130 EPAct credits.
Compared to the EPAct requirement of 91 credits (75% of the 121 covered acquisitions), the Agency
achieved 107% of EPAct compliance for this category. As in FYs 2002 through 2008, the Agency
exceeded its FY 2009 EPAct AFV acquisition requirement by a significant margin (32%).

mixture of 85% ethanol with 15% gasoline (E85). Since the flex-fuel vehicles are designed to operate on
gasoline as well as the alternative fuel, special efforts are needed to ensure that these vehicles operate
using the alternative fuel to the maximum extent possible. EPA is taking extra steps during FY 2010 to
ensure the use of alternative fuel in AFVs is maximized to the greatest extent feasible. The "Summary"
section includes more information on EPA's strategy for environmental compliance.
Additional vehicles were leased and purchased by the Agency that were exempt from EPAct
requirements, as shown in Exhibit 4. Of the total 152 light-duty vehicles acquired in FY2009 shown in
Attachment A, 31 vehicles were exempt and therefore not counted for compliance. Most of these vehicles
are considered exempt from EPAct compliance because of their location in non-MSA areas. The
remainder of these vehicles was exempt from acquiring AFVs due to their utilization as law enforcement
vehicles.

EPA's FY 2009 Compliance with EO 13423
Exhibit 5 summarizes EPA's performance towards the EO 13423 goals. In FY 2009, EPA was required
to reduce petroleum consumption by 8% relative to a FY 2005 consumption baseline and had an actual
reduction of 23% below FY 2005 levels. EPA has exceeded the total petroleum reduction target (20%) of
EO 13423 a full six years earlier than required. If EPA petroleum reduction rates remain constant, EPA
will exceed EO 13423 requirements for each year through the end of FY 2015. EPA remains diligent in
developing new strategies for reducing the Agency's petroleum footprint on a continual basis.
EO 13423 also requires subject Federal fleets to increase consumption of alternative fuels by 10%
annually compared to the previous year's EO 13423-mandated amount. EPA did not meet this goal in FY
2009, falling short of this target by approximately 14,151 GGEs. Although EPA has made significant
strides in alternative fuel use, the lack of alternative fueling infrastructure remains an obstacle to
compliance. EPA is working to develop strategies that will increase alternative fuel consumption.

Exhibit 6 summarizes the Agency's covered fuel consumption (by type of fuel) in motor vehicles during
FYs 2005 to 2009. In FY 2009, the Agency consumed 51,133 GGEs of alternative fuel, thereby offsetting
a sizable portion of petroleum that would have otherwise been consumed.
EPA failed to reach the alternative fuel consumption increase target of EO 13423. The vast majority of
EPA's AFV fleet consists of vehicles that are fueled with E85. However, fueling stations that offer E85
are sparse in many areas of the country where EPA fleets operate. EPA vehicles are often driven into
rural areas (without E85 access) for extended periods of time. Due to EPA's unique mission
requirements, it is often not feasible to fuel AFVs with alternative fuel 100% of the time.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY EPA AFV ACQUISITION REPORT - FY 2009
Success Stories
In FY 2009, EPA was extremely successful in meeting the EPAct 75% AFV acquisition requirement. As
mentioned above and presented in Exhibit 2 and Attachment A, EPA achieved a 107% AFV acquisition
rate in FY 2009, exceeding requirements by 32%. This includes four AFV acquisition credits for
consumption of biodiesel fuel and one credit for the acquisition of a dedicated AFV. EPA projects that
this requirement will be met for the following two fiscal years, based on current mission needs and fleet
estimates7.
EPA also exceeded the EO 13423 requirement to reduce fuel consumption by 8% compared to 2005
consumption levels. In FY 2009, EPA reduced its covered petroleum footprint by 23%, exceeding the
requirement by 15%. EPA has already met the 20% total reduction goal of EO 13423 a full six years early.
If EPA reduces petroleum consumption by the same percentage each year8, the Agency will nearly triple the
required EO 13423 petroleum savings from the FY 2005 baseline by FY 2015.
In FY 2009, EPA continued to improve communication between Headquarters and satellite fleet locations.
The Agency Fleet Manager conducted quarterly conference calls with Regional Fleet Managers to
discuss Agency progress, current issues with conditions in the field, and potential strategies to increase
alternative fuel consumption and reduce petroleum use. These discussions were beneficial and
educational to all participants. The Agency Fleet Manager also conducted a training session for EPA fleet
managers at the 2009 FedFleet Conference in Chicago, IL. The goals of the training sessions were to
share best practices in fleet management and reiterate Agency goals towards environmental compliance.
In another effort to better communicate with the Regions, the Agency Fleet Manager continued to
disseminate quarterly fleet bulletins to summarize topics including executive orders, legislation, tips for
optimizing fleet management, and other fleet issues.
EPA Headquarters issued a challenge to its regional fleets in late FY 2008 and early FY 2009 to see
which fleet could show the largest improvement in alternative fuel consumption. The Alternative Fuel
Challenge offered $10,000 in additional vehicle acquisition funding for the winner of this competition.
EPA saw a spike in alternative fuel use due to the Alternative Fuel Challenge. This strategy, in
conjunction with increased fleet manager communication, resulted in the Agency consuming alternative
fuel above FY 2005 baseline levels for the first time since FY 2005. EPA will continue to encourage and
promote alternative fueling best practices.
EPA continued to utilize a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle throughout FY 2009. The Chevy Equinox uses
hydrogen as its main source of fuel and the only emission is water vapor. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are
just one of many advanced vehicle technologies that are making transportation more efficient and cleaner
than ever before. EPA will continue to partner with private industry to promote and test new technologies
such as hydrogen fuel-cell engines to assist in the expansion of next-generation AFVs.
7 See Attachments B, C, and D for details.
8 Assuming an annual average reduction of 5.75%. This is calculated by dividing the petroleum reduction to date
(23%) by the number of years since implemented (4).

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY EPA AFV ACQUISITION REPORT - FY 2009
EPA's Fleet AFV Acquisitions for FY 2010 through FY 2012
Attachment A provides detailed information on light-duty AFVs acquired by the Agency in FY 2009,
Attachment B provides planned vehicle acquisitions for the Agency fleets in FY 2010, Attachment C
projects the number of Agency vehicle acquisitions for FY 2011, and Attachment D provides forecasted
vehicle acquisitions for FY 2012.
As shown in Attachment B, in FY 2010, Agency fleets are planning to acquire a cumulative total of 82
light-duty vehicles. Of these, 46 will be EPAct-covered acquisitions. In pursuit of the 75% EPAct
acquisition requirement, EPA will need to generate a minimum of 35 AFV credits. However, EPA plans to
acquire 44 AFVs, exceeding EPAct requirements. EPA is aware of the additional costs of acquiring AFVs
and will remain mindful of newer technologies on the horizon, e.g., potential benefits arising from
hydrogen fuel cell based advancements. Accordingly, the Agency will strike an appropriate fiscal balance
with respect to AFV fleet acquisitions going forward.
As shown in Attachment C, in FY 2011, Agency fleets are projecting acquisitions of 132 light-duty
vehicles. Of these, 80 will be EPAct-covered acquisitions, thus establishing a 60 minimum credit
requirement in order to meet EPAct's 75% requirement. For FY 2011, the Agency plans to acquire 90
AFVs resulting in a projected 113% acquisition rate of AFVs. Through this action, the Agency plans to
meet its EPAct requirement in FY 2011. This estimate includes an analysis that takes into account
relevant MSA and CMSA, fleet size, and law enforcement exemptions that may impact EPA decisions for
fleet acquisitions looking forward.
Attachment D provides information on vehicle acquisitions forecasted for FY 2012. EPA is forecasting
183 total light-duty acquisitions, 122 of which are EPAct-covered acquisitions. For FY 2012, EPA plans
on acquiring 100 AFVs resulting in a projected 82% AFV acquisition rate. EPA projects that the Agency
will exceed the 75% requirement as it has every year since the requirement took effect in FY 1999.
-------
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY EPA AFV ACQUISITION REPORT - FY 2009
Summary
This report and its attachments show that the Agency has exceeded its AFV acquisition requirements
under EPAct in FY 2009. It also illustrates how the Agency expects to repeat this accomplishment in FYs
2010 through 2012. The Agency anticipates that it will continue to meet the 2% annual reduction of
petroleum consumption required by EO 13423. This will be achieved through fleet "right-sizing",
continued acquisition of AFVs, and fleet efficiency measures. EPA will strive to meet the EO 13423
requirement to increase alternative fuel consumption by 10%, compounded annually, by increasing
communication and resources to fleet managers.
EPA plans to take additional steps to ensure environmental compliance with EPAct and EO 13423. In an
effort to communicate Agency priorities, EPA will continue to conduct quarterly conference calls with
regional fleet managers to reiterate the environmental goals of their respective fleets and update them on
their progress towards meeting these goals. EPA will continue to provide annual environmental training
for fleet managers at the FedFleet Conference in July of 2010.
Additionally, EPA is developing and implementing an initiative called the Alternative Fuel Compliance
Program (AFCP). The AFCP is a physical site visit review of regional fleet locations to observe fleet
operations, document best practices, and issue recommendations for optimal fleet management. The site
visits are expected to be beneficial and educational for both Headquarters staff as well as fleet managers.
EPA projects that the AFCP will help to standardize fleet best practices and continue the Agency's trend
towards alternative fuel use compliance.
EPA plans to continue testing and promoting its hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle through March of 2010. EPA
also plans to research the feasibility of leasing a next-generation plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. This will
further reduce the petroleum (and carbon) footprint of the Agency while spearheading new technologies.
EPA is continually updating and developing new strategies to meet the requirements of Federal fleets.
The Agency's unique mission poses a challenge to alternative fuel requirements with the regular
operation of vehicles outside of areas with access to alternative fuels. Regardless, EPA is determined to
meet EPAct and EO 13423 fleet targets in FY 2010 and beyond.

Notes:
1. Highlighted cells show EPAct credits granted for acquisition of law enforcement (LE) and
emergency/emergency response (E/ER) vehicles. DOE has determined that credits will
not be granted for acquisition of these vehicles beginning with FY2010 and in all years
after FY2010. FAST users are advised to carefully review the role any such credits are
playing in overall compliance with EPAct's acquisition requirements for their
organization(s).
2. For data presented above representing years prior to 2010, hypothetical compliance
figures are shown that exclude any LE and/or E/ER acquisition credits to help FAST users
quantify the extent to which those credits factor into the organization's compliance
percentage.
3. For years prior to 2009, EPAct acquisition credits were not granted for acquisition of
vehicles with hybrid fuel configurations (e.g., gas-electric hybrid configurations). Beginning
with 2009 and continuing forward for all subsequent years, vehicles with these fuel
configurations are considered alternative fueled vehicles and corresponding credits are
granted and shown, if appropriate, in the above tables.
4. EPAct allows credits toward compliance to be granted for consumption of biodiesel fuel;
one (1) credit toward compliance is granted for each 450 gallons of biodiesel consumed,
with a maximum of 50% of an organization's credits toward compliance coming from
biodiesel consumption.
