The information is critical to
allowing DOE to determine: (1) whether alternative fuel provider
and State government fleets are in compliance with the alternative
fueled vehicle acquisition mandates of Sections 501 and 507(o)of
the Energy Policy Act of 1992; (2) whether such fleets should be
allocated credits under Section 508, and (3) whether those fleets
that opted into the alternative compliance program under Section
514 are in compliance which applicable requirements. Regulated
entities, being covered State and alternative fuel provider fleets,
provide this information. Because DOE has the authority under
Section 512 to impose civil penalties and fines on violators. The
information collection is essential to determine whether
alternative fuel provider and State government fleets are in
compliance with the various statutory and regulatory
provisions.
The burden hours have increased
due to a waiver application option provided in the final rule. This
option can be utilized with the use of alternative fuel.
