The analysis for chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 150 the following: 151. National electric vehicle charging, hydrogen, propane, and natural gas fueling corridors. . The Administrator of General Services may install, construct, operate, and maintain on a reimbursable basis a battery recharging station in a parking area that is in the custody, control, or administrative jurisdiction of the General Services Administration for the use of only privately owned vehicles of employees of the General Services Administration, tenant Federal agencies, and others who are authorized to park in such area to the extent such use by only privately owned vehicles does not interfere with or impede access to the equipment by Federal fleet vehicles.
The Administrator of General Services may install, construct, operate, and maintain on a reimbursable basis a battery recharging station in a parking area that is in the custody, control, or administrative jurisdiction of another Federal agency, at the request of such agency, or delegate such authority to another Federal agency to the extent such use by only privately owned vehicles does not interfere with or impede access to the equipment by Federal fleet vehicles. The Administrator of General Services, with respect to subparagraphs
(A)and (B), or the head of a Federal agency delegated authority, with respect to subparagraph (B), may carry such subparagraph through a contract with a vendor, under such terms and conditions (including terms relating to the allocation between the Federal agency and the vendor of the costs of carrying out the contract) as the Administrator or the head of the Federal agency, as the case may be, and the vendor may agree to. The Administrator of General Services or the head of the Federal agency delegated authority under paragraph (1)(B) shall charge fees to the individuals who use the battery recharging station in such amount as is necessary to ensure that the respective agency recovers all of the costs such agency incurs in installing, constructing, operating, and maintaining the station. Any fees collected by the Administrator of General Services or the Federal agency, as the case may be, under this paragraph shall be— deposited monthly in the Treasury to the credit of the respective agency’s appropriations account for the operations of the building where the battery recharging station is located; and available for obligation without further appropriation during— the fiscal year collected; and the fiscal year following the fiscal year collected. Nothing in this subsection may be construed to affect the installation, construction, operation, or maintenance of battery recharging stations by the Architect of the Capitol— under Public Law 112–170 ( 2 U.S.C. 2171 ), relating to employees of the House of Representatives and individuals authorized to park in any parking area under the jurisdiction of the House of Representatives on the Capitol Grounds; or under Public Law 112–167 ( 2 U.S.C. 2170 ), relating to employees of the Senate and individuals authorized to park in any parking area under the jurisdiction of the Senate on the Capitol Grounds. Nothing in this subsection may be construed as repealing or limiting any existing authorities of a Federal agency to install, construct, operate, or maintain battery recharging stations. Not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter for 10 years, the Administrator of General Services shall submit to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works a report describing— the number of battery recharging stations installed by the Administrator on its own initiative under this subsection; requests from other Federal agencies to install battery recharging stations; delegations of authority to other Federal agencies under this subsection; and the status and disposition of requests from other Federal agencies. In this subsection, the term Federal agency has the meaning given that term in section 102 of title 40, United States Code.
