【 摘 要 】

Signed by President Bush on August 8, the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 2005 now requires Federal fleets to run dual- and flexible-fuel vehicles on alternative fuels unless the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) determines an agency is exempt from the legislation. Agencies can contact DOE to apply for a waiver. To qualify, alternative fuel must not be reasonably available to the fleet or the cost of alternative fuel is unreasonably more expensive than conventional fuel. DOE is currently reviewing the provision and considering how it will be implemented. Guidance on complying with the dual-fuel requirement will be posted on the EPAct website this spring.
