(a) State refueling facilities

    If any State adopts enforceable provisions in an implementation plan 
applicable to a nonattainment area which provides that existing State 
refueling facilities will be made available to the public for the 
purchase of clean alternative fuels or that State-operated refueling 
facilities for such fuels will be constructed and operated by the State 
and made available to the public at reasonable times, taking into 
consideration safety, costs, and other relevant factors, in approving 
such plan under section 7410 of this title and part D,\1\ the 
Administrator may credit a State with the emission reductions for 
purposes of part D \1\ attributable to such actions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ So in original. Probably should be ``part D of subchapter I of 
this chapter''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) No production mandate

    The Administrator shall have no authority under this part to mandate 
the production of clean-fuel vehicles except as provided in the 
California pilot test program or to specify as applicable the models, 
lines, or types of, or marketing or price practices, policies, or 
strategies for, vehicles subject to this part. Nothing in this part 
shall be construed to give the Administrator authority to mandate 
marketing or pricing practices, policies, or strategies for fuels.

(c) Tank and fuel system safety

    The Secretary of Transportation shall, in accordance with chapter 
301 of title 49, promulgate applicable regulations regarding the safety 
and use of fuel storage cylinders and fuel systems, including

(d) Consultation with Department of Energy and Department of 
        Transportation

    The Administrator shall coordinate with the Secretaries of the 
Department of Energy and the Department of Transportation in carrying
