The U.S. Department of Energy

The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) was passed by Congress to reduce our nation's dependence on imported petroleum by requiring certain fleets to acquire alternative fuel vehicles, which are capable of operating on non-petroleum fuels. The U.S. Department of Energy administers the regulations through the:

Federal Fleet Requirements
State and Alternative Fuel Provider Rule
Private and Local Government Fleet Rule
Alternative Fuel Designation Authority
This site focuses on the regulatory activities of EPAct. For general information on alternative fuels and vehicles, visit the Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center.
