1By definition, the term “covered” relative to vehicle acquisitions includes all domestic non-law enforcement (non-LE), light-duty (LD) vehicles operated in a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) and acquired by lease or purchase in FY 2010.
2 By definition, the term “covered” relative to petroleum fuel reduction includes all domestic, non-LE vehicles of any weight and operating in or out of an MSA.
DOS exceeded EPAct AFV acquisition requirements in FY 2010 as follows:
AFV Acquisitions
DOS has successfully met the EPAct requirement every year (see Exhibit 2), as reflected in the Federal Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST), due to DOS’s general policy of acquiring AFVs for all covered vehicle requirements so long as AFVs meeting operational requirements are available from the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). DOS’s amount of AFV credits was substantially smaller than in past years because FY 2010 was the first year that AFV credits were no longer awarded for law enforcement (exempt) AFV acquisitions.
Appendix A contains FAST data for the numbers and types of LD vehicles that DOS leased or purchased, as well as the AFV acquisition details in FY 2010, as well as the projections for FY 2011 and FY 2012. The data in Appendix A is DOS’s “official” vehicular data, which is locked in FAST and cannot be changed until the next annual FAST input schedule.
FY 2011 Planned and FY 2012 Projected Acquisitions
DOS plans to continue its policy of acquiring AFVs exclusively for its non-exempt fleet except where operational requirements make that impractical or where it is expected to be infeasible to fuel with the AF.
For FY 2011, DOS expects to have 55 EPAct-covered vehicle acquisitions, of which 51 are LD AFVs. With two extra AFV credits for MD AFV (non-LE) acquisitions, the projected EPAct percentage for FY 2011 is 96 percent [(51+2=53)/55], exceeding the EPAct requirement of 75 percent.
For FY 2012, DOS expects to have 36 EPAct-covered vehicle acquisitions, of which 24 are LD AFVs. With five extra AFV credits for MD AFV acquisitions and an additional four extra credits for dedicated MD AFV (non-LE) acquisitions, the projected EPAct percentage for FY 2012 is 92 percent [(24+5+4=33)/36], exceeding the EPAct requirement of 75 percent.
EO 13423 – Compliance with Petroleum Use Reduction and AF Use Increase
In FY 2010 DOS continued to pursue the petroleum reduction targets specified in EO 13423 (signed January 24, 2007), which calls for each federal agency to:
Reduce vehicular petroleum consumption (for domestic, non-LE vehicles of any weight and operating in or out of an MSA) by two percent annually through FY 2015 (compared to the FY 2005 usage, which is referred to as the FY 2005 baseline).
Increase vehicular non-petroleum based fuel (i.e., alternative fuel) consumption by 10 percent compounded annually.
Reducing Covered Petroleum Consumption
DOS’s covered petroleum fuel consumption in FY 2010 was 214,475 GGEs, a 33 percent reduction from the FY 2005 baseline of 278,985 GGEs. This total is well below the ten percent reduction (two percent per year for five years—FY2005 to FY 2010) target for 2010. Consequently, DOS was fully compliant with the petroleum use reduction requirement in FY 2010.
Exhibit 3. DOS Covered Petroleum Fuel Usage vs. EO 13423 Goals
Increasing Annual AF Consumption
EO 13423 requires each Federal agency to increase annual AF consumption by 10 percent per year (compounded annually) through the end of FY 2015, based on an FY 2005 baseline. The FY 2005 baseline for DOS is 28,480 GGEs, so the target for FY 2010 was 45,867 GGEs. DOS consumed only 63 percent of that target, so is not compliant with this requirement. However, the FY 2010 usage of AF (29,062 GGEs) was more than double the amount of AF used the previous year (FY 2009), showing good progress in increasing AF usage. Limitations to increasing AF use are detailed below.
CNG Use: DOS is now operating 16 compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles (9 CNG bi-fuel and 7 CNG dedicated), down from 19 in FY 2009, due to the limited availability of CNG vehicles from the OEMs. Moreover, the commercial CNG refueling infrastructure for these vehicles is insufficient, with only one source (the Pentagon Navy Exchange [NEX] station) convenient for daily DOS use. There are two backup sources for CNG refueling: the Washington Navy Yard and the Arlington Transit (ART) site in Shirlington, VA, but these are not convenient to the vehicles. Because of these factors, CNG fuel consumption decreased six percent from the FY 2009 level.
E85 Use: The amount of E85 (a fuel blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline) that is reported in FAST increased greatly from the usual 3,000- and 4,000-GGE range reported in the previous seven years (FY 2003 to FY 2009). The increase reflects the ongoing efforts by the Fleet Management & Operations Division to emphasize the use of AFs with drivers and their supervisors. However, it is still difficult to accurately measure AF usage due to fuel-type coding problems in the fuel transactions data, making it necessary to correct some transactions data based on the fuel available at the station and the fuel type of the vehicle for which the fuel was purchased. A prime example of coding problems is the Pentagon Navy Exchange [NEX] station, where AFs are coded incorrectly: E85 is coded as unleaded regular gasoline and B20 and CNG are both coded as diesel.
Biodiesel Use: There is only one biodiesel station (the NEX) convenient for the diesel vehicles, which make up six percent of DOS’s domestic fleet. Despite that limitation, the Washington area DOS buses increased their B20 usage from 2,541 GGEs in FY 2009 to 12,153 GGEs in FY 2010, an almost five-fold increase, due to increased emphasis on AF usage.
DOS took a number of steps to increase AF use in FY 2010:
DOS contacted various entities to develop/promote AF availability. Discussed E85 infrastructure development and availability with the NEX and Georgetown Chevron station managers and Mid Atlantic Petroleum Properties LLC, a local supplier of E85, as well as coordinating fuel deliveries with the latter. Discussed with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority the possibility of refueling DOS CNG vehicles at the Clark Street station near the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
Informed AFV custodians that DOS is required by EO 13423 to increase annual usage of AFs and by the EPAct (Section 701) to use AFs in AFVs when an AFV is garaged/parked within five miles or 15 minutes of an AF station.
E-mailed the Alternative Fuel Station Locator web site address to AFV custodians and informed them of the location of the closest AF stations.
Monitored fuel usage data and notified AFV custodians and their supervisors, as needed, of “missed opportunities” when FFVs were refueled with gasoline instead of reasonably-available E85.
EPACT 2005, Section 701 - Operating Dual-fuel AFVs on AFs
EPAct 2005, Section 701 requires that dual-fuel AFVs (e.g., AFVs that can run equally well on gasoline or an AF) use AF exclusively unless the AF is (1) not reasonably available (neither within a 15-minute drive nor five miles from garaged location) or (2) unreasonably expensive (costs more per gallon than gasoline at the same station). LE vehicles are exempt from this requirement. Federal agencies can request a waiver (annually via FAST by June 30) for each non-exempt, dual-fuel AFV for which the distance, time, and/or cost exceed these criteria.
DOE has approved all of the waivers DOS has requested since the waiver process began in 2007, even as the number of non-exempt, dual-fuel AFVs has increased as shown in Exhibit 4.

Nevertheless, AF usage in DOS AFVs, which is estimated to be about 33 percent in FY 2010, has not met DOS expectations and targets. Thus, DOS is researching the fuel transaction data to see if the E85 FFVs/bi-fuel CNGs are being fueled with gasoline when E85/CNG, respectively, were available at or near the station where the fuel was actually purchased. In addition, DOS has volunteered to be one of three fleets that will pilot a DOE-sponsored software program that will make use of geographic information system (GIS) software to analyze fuel transaction data and AF station location data to ascertain where specific AFVs could be using more AF.
As mentioned earlier, fuel coding problems substantially impact the reliability of the fuel transaction data. While the data is available for agencies to download (from GSA and from the Voyager fuel card databases), it is deficient in accurately identifying the fuel purchased because of software problems at the point of sale and problems in the transmission of data from the point of sale to the credit card transaction databases.
EISA Section 141 – Greenhouse Gas Reporting in FAST
The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 (Section 141) prohibits Federal agencies from acquiring LD vehicles and MD passenger vehicles that are not considered “low greenhouse gas emitting vehicles” (LGHGEVs). Beginning with the submission of the FY 2010 FAST data, Federal agencies are required to report whether each of the current year acquisitions met this criteria, and if not, what allowable exceptions (“functional needs” or “alternative measures”) or circumstances applied. DOS provided guidance to its subfleets concerning the procedures for requesting the exceptions for non-LGHGEV acquisitions. The subfleets reported the FY 2010 acquisitions by exceptions category as required in FAST. Of the applicable FY 2010 acquisitions reported by the subfleets in FAST, which excludes overseas vehicles and those with “functional needs” exceptions, 19 vehicles were LGHGEVs and eight were not. Those eight vehicles are currently being processed for approval exceptions. DOS expects to increase the numbers of LGHGEV acquisitions as more become available from the OEMs and the General Services Administration (GSA).
Conclusion
DOS remains fully committed to compliance with EPAct and EO requirements. With its policy of exclusively acquiring AFVs for its non-exempt fleet, except where operational requirements make such acquisitions impractical, DOS expects to continue its record of meeting or exceeding the 75 percent EPAct percentage for the foreseeable future. DOS will also continue acquiring LGHGEVs as OEMs provide more makes and models that meet operational requirements.
A lack of adequate commercial AF infrastructure continues to hinder AF refueling, but DOS endeavors to keep its waiver requests to a minimum, to monitor the expansion of the AF infrastructure, and to strengthen its efforts to increase driver awareness to use AF whenever the distance/cost criteria are met.
