L. 105-388, Section 310(b)(3)(b)) and Executive Order 13149 (April 2000) were intended to decrease the country's dependence on petroleum for transportation purposes. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 requires Federal fleets to acquire 75 percent of their new covered vehicles acquisitions as alternative fuel vehicles. In fiscal year 1999, DOE acquired 112 percent of its new covered vehicles as alternative fuel vehicles, and in fiscal year 2000, 96 percent of its new covered vehicles were alternative fuel vehicles. The Department exceeded its alternative fuel vehicles acquisition requirements for fiscal years 1999 and 2000, and expects a similarly high level of compliance for fiscal years 2001 and 2002. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 13218 of the Energy Policy Act, DOE and other covered agencies are required annually to submit to Congress reports on their Energy Policy Act's alternative fuel vehicle acquisition requirements. These reports must also be placed on an available Web site and their availability, including the Web site address, must be published in the **Federal Register** . DOE reports for 1999 and 2000 may be accessed on the Vehicle Technology's Federal Fleet Web site at *www.ott.doe.gov/epact/fed_fleet_prog.shtml.* Issued in Washington, DC, on September 4, 2002.
