Table 1 below summarizes federal fleet requirements for vehicle acquisitions, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fuel consumption. Table 1. Summary of Federal Fleet Requirements The Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992, as amended by the Energy Conservation Reauthorization Act of 1998 and Section 2862 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 Acquire a minimum 75 percent of light-duty (LD) vehicles as AFVs, unless exempted EPAct of 2005, Section 701 Use alternative fuels to operate dual-fueled vehicles, unless the vehicles qualify for a waiver Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, Section 141 Light-duty or medium-duty (MD) passenger vehicle acquisitions must be low-GHG vehicles (LGHGVs) or have a functional needs exception (FNE) Executive Summary of Compliance Table 2.

Of these, 47 were LGHGV acquisitions, and the other 65 non-LGHGV acquisitions had an FNE, resulting in an EISA 2007 Section 141 compliant acquisition rate of 100 percent. EPA will continue to monitor all vehicle acquisitions to ensure that EISA 2007 Section 141 acquisition requirements are met. 3 ------- Cssz) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency EPA AFV Acquisition Report — FY 2021 Appendix A: FY 2021 EPAct Reported Vehicle Acquisitions LD Vehicle Acquisitions and Exemptions Leased Purchased Total Total LD Vehicle Acquisitions ill 0 in Fleet Exemptions: Fleet Size 0 0 0 Fleet Exemptions: Foreign 0 0 0 Fleet Exemptions: Geographic 9 0 9 Exemptions: Law Enforcement Vehicle 27 0 27 Exemptions: Non-Covered Vehicle 0 0 0 Exemptions: Non-Metropolitan Statistical Area Operation 0 0 0 Total EPAct Covered Vehicles 75 0 75 AFV Acquisition Detail Vehicle Type Fuel Law Enforcement Leased Purchased Total EPAct Credits LD Vehicles Sedan Compact GAS HY No 7 0 7 7 Sedan Compact GAS HY Yes 2 0 2 0 Sedan Subcompact ELE DE No 3 0 3 3 Sedan Subcompact GAS DE No 1 0 1 1 Sedan Subcompact GAS HY No 1 0 1 1 Sedan Subcompact GAS/ELE PH No 1 0 1 1 LD Minivan 4x2 (Passenger) GAS DE No 2 0 2 2 LD Minivan 4x2 (Passenger) GAS/E85 FF No 5 0 5 5 LD Minivan 4x2 (Passenger) GAS/E85 FF Yes 1 0 1 0 LD SUV 4x2 GAS HY No 7 0 7 7 LD Pickup 4x4 GAS/E85 FF No 4 0 4 4 LD Pickup 4x4 GAS/E85 FF Yes 5 0 5 0 LD SUV 4x4 GAS DE No 8 0 8 8 LD SUV 4x4 GAS HY No 8 0 8 8 LD SUV 4x4 GAS/E85 FF No 6 0 6 6 LD SUV 4x4 GAS/E85 FF Yes 1 0 1 0 MD Vehicles MD Pickup GAS/E85 FF No 1 0 1 1 MD Van (Cargo) GAS/E85 FF No 2 0 2 2 MD Van (Passenger) GAS/E85 FF No 1 0 1 1 Totals: 66 0 66 57 EPAct Acquisition Credits Summary Base AFV Acquisition Credits 57 Zero Emission Vehicle Credits 0 Dedicated LD AFV Credits 0 Dedicated MD AFV Credits 0 Biodiesel Fuel Usage Credits 0 Total EPAct Credits 57 Total EPAct Covered Vehicles 75 Overall EPAct Compliance Percentage 76% 4 ------- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency EPA AFV Acquisition Report — FY 2021 Appendix B: Acronyms Acronym Phrase AFV Alternative fuel vehicle GAS/E85 Ethanol (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent petroleum) FF Flex-fuel EISA Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 GAS/ELE PH Electric plug-in hybrid FNE Functional needs exception EPAct Energy Policy Act of 1992 FY Fiscal year GAS HY Gasoline hybrid electric vehicle GGE Gasoline gallon equivalent GHG Greenhouse gas LD/MD/HD Light-, medium-, or heavy-duty (as determined by gross vehicle weight) LGHGV Low greenhouse gas-emitting vehicle SUV Sport utility vehicle 5 ------- |
