EPA AFV ACQUISITION REPORT - FY 2010
Executive Summary
This is the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) fiscal year (FY) 2010 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 percent 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 percent annually compared to the previous year's alternative fuel usage
requirement. EO 13423 also sets a goal for non-exempt federal agencies to reduce petroleum consumption
by 2 percent annually relative to a FY 2005 baseline. Exhibit 1 summarizes the Agency's performance in
meeting these requirements.

In FY 2010, EPA acquired 133 AFVs and received four credits for utilization of biodiesel for a total of 137
EPAct credits. Compared to the EPAct requirement of 96 credits (75 percent of the 128 non-exempt
acquisitions), the Agency achieved 107 percent EPAct compliance with this criteria for FY 2010.4 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
461,815 GGEs. EPA's actual petroleum consumption amount was 385,153 GGEs, representing a
decrease of 24.9 percent from the 2005 baseline consumption level, thereby continuing to exceed the 20
percent reduction goal 5 years earlier than required. This reduction more than doubled the 10 percent
cumulative petroleum reduction requirement for FY 2010. If the Agency's petroleum consumption
reduction rate remains constant, EPA will far exceed EO 13423 requirements through FY 2015.
For FY 2010, EPA did not reach the EO 13423 requirement for increasing alternative fuel consumption by
10 percent compounded annually. EPA's target goal for FY 2010 alternative fuel consumption was 71,813
GGEs. The Agency's actual consumption level was 42,481 GGEs, a difference of 29,332 GGEs from the
target. However, EPA will continue to strive to meet EO 13423's overall requirement for consuming a
minimum of 115,654 GGEs of alternative fuel by FY 2015. The main obstacles for reaching this target
have been a lack of alternative fuel infrastructure and conflicting federal regulation on whether or not
EPA's focus should be on acquiring AFVs (mandated by EPAct 1992) or low greenhouse-gas vehicles
(required by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007). AFVs consume alternative fuel while
low greenhouse gas-emitting vehicles consume mostly petroleum fuel.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY EPA AFV ACQUISITION REPORT-FY 2010
Legislative and Executive Order Requirements
Section 303 of EPAct (42 U.S.C. 13212) requires that 75 percent 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)
• Are centrally fueled or capable of being centrally fueled
• Are primarily operated in metropolitan statistical areas (MSA) or consolidated metropolitan
statistical areas (CMSA) 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 percent 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 to increase annual consumption of alternative fuels by 10
percent 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 percent for
FY 2006, 21 percent for FY2007, 33.1 percent for FY 2008, 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 B20 (a blend of 20 percent biodiesel and
80 percent petroleum diesel). These biodiesel credits may fulfill up to 50 percent 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 Appendices A through E.

Exhibit 2 depicts AFV acquisitions by the Agency fleets in FYs 2002 through 2010. It also shows future
acquisitions for FY 2011 through FY 2013 and documents Agency compliance with EPAct requirements
for AFV acquisitions. Appendix A provides detailed information on the number and types of light-duty
vehicles acquired by the Agency in FY 2010.5 EPA has exceeded its EPAct acquisition requirements each
year since FY 1999, and the Agency projects that it will continue to do so in the coming years.

As summarized in Exhibit 3, in FY 2010 the Agency acquired 133 AFVs and received four credits for
biodiesel fuel usage, for a total of 137 EPAct credits. Compared to the EPAct requirement of 96 credits
(75 percent of the 128 covered acquisitions), the Agency achieved 107 percent EPAct compliance for this
category. As in FYs 2002 through 2009, the Agency exceeded its EPAct AFV acquisition requirement by
a significant margin (32 percent).

Most of the AFVs acquired in FY2010, and those already in the Agency's inventory, are flex-fuel vehicles
operated on a mixture of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline (E85). Because the flex-fuel vehicles
are designed to operate on gasoline as well as 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 2011 to ensure that the use of alternative fuel in AFVs is maximized to the greatest extent
feasible. The Summary section of this report provides more information on EPA's strategy for
environmental compliance.
The Agency leased and purchased additional vehicles that were exempt from EPAct requirements, as
shown in Exhibit 4. Of the total 226 light-duty vehicles acquired in FY2010, shown in Appendix A, 98
vehicles were exempt and therefore not counted for compliance. Most of these vehicles are exempt from
EPAct compliance because of their primary use as law enforcement vehicles, and the remainder because
of fleet size or geographic limitations.

EPA's FY 2010 Compliance with EO 13423
Exhibit 5 summarizes EPA's performance against the goals of EO 13423. In FY 2010, EPA was required
to reduce petroleum consumption by 10 percent relative to a FY2005 consumption baseline and had an
actual reduction of 24.9 percent below FY 2005 levels. EPA exceeded the total petroleum reduction target
(20 percent) of EO 13423 in FY 2009 (a full 6 years earlier than required) and continues to surpass the
petroleum reduction requirement. 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 and
implementing new strategies to reduce the Agency's petroleum footprint on a continual basis.
EO 13423 also requires subject federal fleets to increase consumption of alternative fuels by 10 percent
annually compared to the previous year's EO 13423-mandated amount. EPA did not meet this goal in FY
2010, falling short by approximately 29,332 GGEs. Although EPA has made significant strides in
alternative fuel use in recent years, the lack of alternative fueling infrastructure remains an obstacle to
compliance. EPA is working to develop strategies that will increase alternative fuel consumption.

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. In addition,
those EPA vehicles that do have access to alternative fuel at their base location are often driven into rural
areas (without E85 access) for extended periods of time to fulfill mission requirements. Further, when the
supply of E85 is depleted, fuel stations are not resupplied quickly, which delays fleet access to the
alternative fuel. These factors contribute to EPA's failure to meet the alternative fuel consumption target
of EO 13423.
Exhibit 6 summarizes the Agency's covered fuel consumption (by type of fuel) in motor vehicles during
FYs 2005 to 2010. In FY2010, the Agency consumed 42,481 GGEs of alternative fuel, thereby offsetting
a sizable portion of petroleum that would have otherwise been consumed.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY EPA AFV ACQUISITION REPORT - FY 2010
Success Stories
In FY 2010, EPA was extremely successful in meeting the 75 percent AFV acquisition requirement in
EPAct of 1992. As mentioned above and presented in Exhibit 2 and Appendix A, EPA achieved a 107
percent AFV acquisition rate in FY 2010, exceeding requirements by 32 percent. This includes four AFV
acquisition credits for consumption of biodiesel fuel. EPA projects that it will meet this requirement for the
next three fiscal years, based on current mission needs and fleet estimates.7
EPA also exceeded the EO 13423 requirement to reduce fuel consumption by 10 percent compared to 2005
consumption levels. In FY 2010, EPA reduced its covered petroleum footprint by 24.9 percent, exceeding
the requirement by 14.9 percent. EPA had already met the 20 percent total reduction goal of EO 13423 in
FY 2009 (a full 6 years early) and continues to reduce petroleum beyond what is required. EPA is well on its
way to meeting the 30 percent petroleum reduction requirement by FY 2020 that EO 13514 mandates.
EPA continued to improve communication in FY 2010 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. Participants considered these discussions as
beneficial and educational. The Headquarters fleet team also conducted a training session for EPA fleet
managers at the 2010 FedFleet Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. The objective of the training sessions
was to share best practices in fleet management and reiterate the Agency's goals regarding
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.
In FY2010, EPA began a program called the Alternative Fuel Compliance Emphasis Program (AFCEP),
to redouble the fleet's efforts on consuming alternative fuels. An Agency memorandum, dated August 5,
2010, made the program official. The AFCEP consists of a series of site visits during which EPA
Headquarters staff travel to regional fleet locations, meet with relevant transportation stakeholders,
discuss obstacles to compliance, share fleet best practices, and develop site-specific strategies for
meeting fuel targets. EPA Headquarters staff completed three site visits in FY 2010 and issued reports
detailing each region's deficiencies, best practices, and corrective actions. EPA anticipates that the
AFCEP will result in increased alternative fuel consumption and reduced petroleum use as the Agency
continues the program through FY 2011 and beyond.
EPA continued to use a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle through the first quarter of FY 2010. 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 and assist in the expansion of next-generation AFVs.

Appendices
EPA's Fleet AFV Acquisitions for FY 2010 through FY 2013
Appendices A through E provide detailed information on actual and projected light-duty AFVs the
Agency acquired in FYs 2010 through 2013, respectively. As shown in Appendix B, Agency fleets
are planning to acquire a total of 26 light-duty vehicles in FY2011. Of these, Twill be EPAct-
covered acquisitions. In pursuit of the 75 percent EPAct acquisition requirement, EPA will need to
generate a minimum of six AFV credits. However, EPA plans to acquire 12 AFVs, exceeding
EPAct requirements. EPA is aware of the additional costs of acquiring AFVs and will remain
mindful of newer technologies on the horizon. Accordingly, the Agency will strike an appropriate
fiscal balance with respect to AFV fleet acquisitions going forward.
As shown in Appendix C, Agency fleets are projecting acquisitions of 68 light-duty vehicles in FY
2012. Of these, 28 will be EPAct-covered acquisitions, thus establishing a 21 minimum credit
requirement to meet EPAct's 75 percent requirement. For FY 2012, the Agency plans to acquire 35
AFVs, resulting in a projected 125 percent acquisition rate for AFVs. Through this action, the
Agency plans to meet its EPAct requirement in FY 2012. 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.
Appendix D provides information on vehicle acquisitions forecasted for FY 2013. EPA is
forecasting 156 total light-duty acquisitions, 89 of which are EPAct-covered acquisitions. For FY
2013, EPA plans on acquiring 79 AFVs, resulting in a projected 89 percent AFV acquisition rate.
EPA projects that it will exceed the 75 percent requirement as it has every year since the
requirement took effect in FY 1999.

Appendix E: Notes on Vehicle Acquisitions
The highlighted cells show EPAct credits granted for acquisition of law enforcement (LE)
and emergency/emergency response (E/ER) vehicles. The Department of Energy (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).
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.
For the 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.
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 percent of an organization's credits toward compliance coming from
biodiesel consumption.
Beginning in FY 2011, it is expected that acquisitions of low greenhouse gas-emitting
vehicles (as defined by Section 141 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of
2007) will count toward an agency's EPAct AFV acquisition credits.
