Environmental Protection Agency	EPA AFV Acquisition Report - FY 2012
Executive Summary
This is the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) fiscal year (FY) 2012 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 previous 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.

In FY 2012, EPA acquired 121 AFVs and received three credits for utilization of biodiesel for a total of 124
EPAct credits. Compared to the EPAct requirement of 86 credits (75% of the 114 non-exempt acquisitions),
the Agency achieved 109% EPAct compliance with this criteria for FY 2012.4 EPA has exceeded this EPAct
requirement every year since FY 1999.
In accordance with EO 13423, EPA was required to limit petroleum consumption to a maximum of 441,477
GGEs. EPA's actual petroleum consumption amount was 347,856 GGEs, representing a decrease of ~32.2%
from the 2005 baseline consumption level, thereby continuing to exceed the 20% reduction goal three years
earlier than required. This reduction more than doubled the 14% cumulative petroleum reduction requirement
for FY 2012. EPA has already exceeded EO 13514 requirements to reduce petroleum consumption 30% by FY
2020, a full eight years earlier than required.
EPA did not reach the FY 2012 EO 13423 requirement for increasing alternative fuel consumption by 10%
compounded annually. EPA's target goal for FY 2012 alternative fuel consumption was 86,901 GGEs. The
Agency's actual consumption level was 52,663 GGEs, a difference of 34,238 GGEs from the target. However,
EPA will continue to strive to meet EO 13423's overall requirement for consuming a minimum of 115,665
GGEs of alternative fuel by FY 2015. The main obstacles for reaching this target have been a lack of
alternative fuel infrastructure nationwide and new requirements of the Energy Independence and Security Act
of 2007 regarding acquisition of low greenhouse-gas vehicles (LGVs). AFVs consume alternative fuel while low
greenhouse gas-emitting vehicles can consume petroleum fuel. These acquisition requirements can conflict
with each other and affect the Agency's ability to consume alternative fuel. Another contributing factor to non-
compliance in FY 2012 was the lack of available biodiesel in the National Capitol Region. EPA Headquarters'
shuttle buses are historically large consumers of biodiesel. However, biodiesel was unavailable for a large
portion of FY 2012 from National Capitol Region fuel providers.

Environmental Protection Agency
EPA AFV Acquisition Report - FY 2012
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).
•	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% 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%
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 FY 2007, 33.1%
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% biodiesel and 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 Appendices A through E.

EPA's FY 2012 Fleet Compliance with EPAct
Exhibit 2 depicts AFV acquisitions by the Agency fleets in FYs 2003 through 2012. It also shows future
acquisitions for FY 2013 through FY 2015 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 2012.5 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. EPA also acquired 71 LGVs in
FY 2012, some of which were gasoline vehicles. This is a potential contributing factor to EPA's failure to meet the
alternative fuel increase requirement of EO 13423.

Environmental Protection Agency
EPA AFV Acquisition Report - FY 2012
Most of the AFVs acquired in FY 2012, and those already in the Agency's inventory, are flex-fuel vehicles
operated on a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% 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 2013 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 189 light-duty vehicles acquired in FY 2012, shown in Appendix A, 75 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 2012 Compliance with EO 13423
Exhibit5 summarizes EPA's performance against the goals of EO 13423. In FY 2012, EPA was required to
reduce petroleum consumption by 14% relative to a FY 2005 consumption baseline and had an actual
reduction of ~32.2% below FY 2005 levels. EPA exceeded the total petroleum reduction target (20%) of EO
13423 in FY 2009 (a full six years earlier than required) and continues to surpass the petroleum reduction
requirement. Additionally, the Agency has already met the 30% petroleum reduction goal of EO 13514 nine
years earlier than required. EPA remains diligent in developing and implementing new strategies to reduce the
Agency's petroleum use 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 2012, falling
short by approximately 34,238 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. 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, new vehicle acquisition requirements of EISA
2007, Section 141 can conflict with EPAct 1992 requirements and force fleets to choose a gasoline vehicle
over an E85 vehicle in order to ensure compliance. These factors contributed to EPA's failure to meet the
alternative fuel consumption target of EO 13423. EPA is working to develop strategies that will increase
alternative fuel consumption.

EPA AFV Acquisition Report - FY 2012
Success Stories
In FY 2012, EPA was extremely successful in meeting the 75% AFV acquisition requirement of EPAct of 1992.
As mentioned above and presented in Exhibit 2 and Appendix A, EPA achieved a 109% AFV acquisition rate
in FY 2012, exceeding requirements by 34%. This includes three 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 petroleum consumption by 14% compared to 2005
consumption levels. In FY 2012, EPA reduced its covered petroleum footprint by ~32.2%, exceeding the
requirement by 18.2%. EPA has already met both the 20% total reduction goal of EO 13423 in FY 2009 (a full six
years early) and the 30% petroleum reduction goal of EO 13514 (nine years earlier than required). The Agency
continues to reduce petroleum beyond what is required.
EPA continued to improve communication in FY 2012 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 conducted a training session for EPA Fleet Managers via video
teleconference (VTC) in August 2012. The objective of the training session was to share best practices in fleet
management and reiterate the Agency's goals regarding environmental compliance. EPA also encouraged
Fleet Managers and their staff to attend the 2012 FedFleet Conference in Louisville, Kentucky for
comprehensive training by federal fleet experts. Additionally, the Agency held an internal guided roundtable
discussion at the 2012 FedFleet Conference to discuss any questions Fleet Managers had regarding fleet
management. This discussion received very positive feedback and helped build networking relationships within
the Agency. In another effort to better communicate with the Regions, the Agency Fleet Manager continued to
disseminate quarterly fleet newsletters to summarize topics, including executive orders, legislation, tips for
optimizing fleet management, and other fleet issues.
In accordance with the Presidential Memorandum on Federal Fleet Performance and GSA Bulletin B-30, EPA
conducted a vehicle allocation methodology (VAM) in FY 2012 with the goal of identifying and eliminating
under-utilized and unnecessary motor vehicles. After detailed research and analysis, EPA found that it could
reduce the non-exempt fleet by 48 vehicles. However, the Agency went above and beyond these expectations
and reduced the overall fleet by 56 vehicles. These reductions took place over the course of FY 2012 and are
projected to provide EPA with significant cost savings of over $800,000 across the next five years based on
lease costs alone.
In FY 2012, EPA worked with GSA to lease four plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) that can travel up to
40 miles solely on battery power and up to another 250 miles on gasoline after the battery pack is depleted.
EPA is participating in a GSA program to test the Chevrolet Volt in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco,
California and provide feedback to GSA on utilization and performance. The Volt and other PHEVs can help
reduce the Agency's petroleum consumption by using only electricity to power the vehicle for short-range trips.
PHEVs are just one of many advanced vehicle types that are making transportation more efficient and cleaner
than ever before. EPA will continue to partner with GSA to promote and test clean vehicle technologies and
assist in the expansion of next-generation AFVs.

Appendices
EPA's Fleet AFV Acquisitions for FY 2012 through FY 2015
Appendices A through D provide detailed information on actual, planned, projected, and forecasted
light-duty AFVs the Agency acquired in FYs 2012 through 2015, respectively. As shown in Appendix
A, EPA acquired a total of 189 light-duty vehicles in FY 2012. Of these, 114 were EPAct-covered
acquisitions, thus establishing a 86 minimum credit requirement to meet EPAct's 75%
requirement. For FY 2012, the Agency acquired 121 AFVs and obtained three AFV credits for
biodiesel consumption for a total of 124 AFV acquisition credits, resulting in a 109% acquisition
rate for AFVs.
As shown in Appendix B, Agency fleets are planning to acquire a total of 173 light-duty vehicles in
FY 2013. Of these, 88 will be EPAct-covered acquisitions, thus establishing a 66 minimum credit
requirement to meet EPAct's 75% requirement. For FY 2013, the Agency plans to acquire 84
AFVs, resulting in a projected 95% acquisition rate for AFVs. Through this action, the Agency
plans to meet its EPAct requirement in FY 2013. 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 125 light-duty vehicles in FY
2014. Of these, 61 will be EPAct-covered acquisitions, thus establishing a 46 minimum credit
requirement to meet EPAct's 75% requirement. For FY 2014, the Agency plans to acquire 84
AFVs, resulting in a projected 138% acquisition rate for AFVs. Through this action, the Agency
plans to meet its EPAct requirement in FY 2014. 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.
As shown in Appendix D, Agency fleets are forecasting acquisitions of 110 light-duty vehicles in
FY 2015. Of these, 45 of will be EPAct-covered acquisitions, thus establishing a 34 minimum
credit requirement to meet EPAct's 75% requirement. For FY 2015, the Agency plans on acquiring
52 AFVs, resulting in a projected 116% AFV acquisition rate. Through this action, the Agency
plans to meet its EPAct requirement in FY 2015. EPA projects that it will exceed the 75%
requirement as it has every year since the requirement took effect in FY 1999.
As shown in Appendix E, the details and caveats regarding Appendices A, B, C, and D are
provided. Appendix E explains highlighted and starred cells of these appendices.

Appendix E: Notes on Vehicle Acquisitions
1.	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).
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 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.
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.
5.	Beginning in FY 2011, 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 if the vehicle is located where there is no
alternative fuel infrastructure.
