Central Intelligence Agency Fleet Alternative Fuel Use and Vehicle Acquisition Report
Updated
Compliance with EPAct and E.O. 13423 for Fiscal Year 2007
Summary
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is continuing to
develop methods to increase the Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) percentage in
its qualifying fleet and enhance its qualifying fleet’s alternative fuel usage.
This represents the CIA’s report covering fiscal year (FY)
2007. This report covers the CIA’s
alternative fuel use and vehicle acquisition compliance pursuant to the
requirements of the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992 (Public Law 102-486), as
amended by the Energy Conservation Reauthorization Act of 1998 (Public Law
105-388) and Executive Order (E.O.) 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental,
Energy and Transportation Management, signed on 24 January 2007.

in FY 2005. CIA reduced fuel consumption by 12.5% from FY 2005 baseline.

GGE consumption figure is extrapolated from verifiable consumption quantities.
EPAct Compliance
CIA first reported under the EPAct in 1997. This constitutes CIA’s sixth report, and it
covers FY 2007. During the period
covered by this report, 87 percent of CIA’s FY 2007 qualifying fleet acquisitions
under the EPAct were AFVs.
Credits: Federal fleets earn one
credit for every AFV acquired and one credit for every 450 gallons of neat
bio-diesel (B100) or 2,250 gallons of B20 (20 percent bio-diesel and 80 percent
petroleum diesel) used. Additional
credits are earned for:
- AFVs that operate exclusively on alternative fuels.
- Zero Emission Vehicles of any size.
- Dedicated medium-duty or heavy-duty AFVs.
For FY 2007, CIA earned 73 credits for its AFV acquisitions and 13 credits
for acquisition of AFV’s with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than
8,500 pounds for a total of 86 credits.
Exemptions: Under
the EPAct, exemptions were granted for fleet size, geographic location or use
outside of a qualifying Metropolitan Statistical Area/Consolidated Metropolitan
Statistical Area (MSA/CMSA), law enforcement vehicles and emergency
vehicles. Exemptions claimed against
CIA’s fleet acquisitions for FY 2007 are as follows:
- Law Enforcement (5 vehicles – 6 percent of total)
- Emergency (0 vehicles – 0 percent of total)
- Non MSA/CMSA (0 vehicles – 0 percent of total)
- Geographic (0 vehicles – 0 percent of total)
E.O. 13423 Compliance
E.O. 13423 section 2.(g) states, if
the agency operates a fleet of at least 20 motor vehicles, the agency, relative
to the agency baselines for fiscal year 2005 shall:
-
Reduce
the fleet’s total consumption of petroleum products by 2 percent annually
through the end of FY 2015.
- Increase
the total fuel consumption that is non-petroleum-based by 10 percent annually.
-
Use
plug-in hybrid (PIH) vehicles when PIH vehicles are commercially available at a
cost reasonably comparable, on the basis of life-cycle cost, to non-PIH
vehicles.
Use of Alternative Fuels in AFVs: CIA expanded
its infrastructure in FY 2007 by installing an E85 Fueling Station (85 percent
ethanol, 15 percent gasoline). The fueling
station is now operational. CIA
anticipates having E85 fuel usage data available for the FY 2008 report.
Petroleum Consumption: CIA exceeded
the E.O. 13423 requirement to reduce the consumption of petroleum products by 2
percent annually through the end of FY 2015, relative to FY 2005 baseline. Fuel consumption for FY 2007 was 285,405 GGEs
and fuel consumption for FY 2005 was 326,457 GGEs which is a 12.5 percent
reduction.
