Sec. 7588. Federal agency fleets


(a) Additional provisions applicable

    The provisions of this section shall apply, in addition to the other 
provisions of this part, in the case of covered fleet vehicles owned or 
operated by an agency, department, or instrumentality of the United 
States, except as otherwise provided in subsection (e) of this section.

(b) Cost of vehicles to Federal agency

    Notwithstanding the provisions of section 491 of title 40, the 
Administrator of General Services shall not include the incremental 
costs of clean-fuel vehicles in the amount to be reimbursed by Federal 
agencies if the Administrator of General Services determines that 
appropriations provided pursuant to this paragraph are sufficient to 
provide for the incremental cost of such vehicles over the cost of 
comparable conventional vehicles.

(c) Limitations on appropriations

    Funds appropriated pursuant to the authorization under this 
paragraph shall be applicable only--
        (1) to the portion of the cost of acquisition, maintenance and 
    operation of vehicles acquired under this subparagraph which exceeds 
    the cost of acquisition, maintenance and operation of comparable 
    conventional vehicles;
        (2) to the portion of the costs of fuel storage and dispensing 
    equipment attributable to such vehicles which exceeds the costs for 
    such purposes required for conventional vehicles; and
        (3) to the portion of the costs of acquisition of clean-fuel 
    vehicles which represents a reduction in revenue from the disposal 
    of such vehicles as compared to revenue resulting from the disposal 
    of comparable conventional vehicles.

(d) Vehicle costs

    The incremental cost of vehicles acquired under this part over the 
cost of comparable conventional vehicles shall not be applied to any 
calculation with respect to a limitation under law on the maximum cost 
of individual vehicles which may be required by the United States.

(e) Exemptions

    The requirements of this part shall not apply to vehicles with 
respect to which the Secretary of Defense has certified to the 
Administrator that an exemption is needed based on national security 
consideration.

(f) Acquisition requirement

    Federal agencies, to the extent practicable, shall obtain clean-fuel 
vehicles from original equipment manufacturers.

(g) Authorization of appropriations

    There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be required 
to carry out the provisions of this section: Provided, That such sums as 
are appropriated for the Administrator of General Services pursuant to 
the authorization under this section shall be added to the General 
Supply Fund established in section 756 of title 40.
