Abstract:

This notice of final rulemaking concludes a regulatory action that is mandated under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (the Act), Pub. L. 102-486. That Act provides for a comprehensive national energy policy for strengthening U.S. energy security by reducing dependence on imported oil. Titles III, IV, V, and VI of the Act contain regulatory requirements and authorities, as well as various financial incentives aimed at displacing substantial quantities of oil consumed by motor vehicles. This rulemaking implements statutorily-imposed alternative fueled vehicle acquisition requirements that apply to certain alternative fuel providers and some State government vehicle fleets. The rule principally covers: (1) interpretations necessary for affected entities to determine whether and to what extent the statutory requirements apply; (2) procedures for exemptions and administrative remedies; and (3) a program of marketable credits to reward those who voluntarily acquire vehicles in excess of mandated requirements or before the requirements take effect, and to allow use of such credits in order to demonstrate compliance with those requirements.
