Summary

Federal agencies must, as much as possible, refuel their alternative-fuel vehicles at public commercial stations that sell alternative fuels. If public stations are not nearby or easy to reach, agencies can make business arrangements to get fuel, such as buying, leasing, contracting for, or building fueling facilities with government participation. The Secretary can get the money needed for these actions for fiscal years 1993 through 1998. The funds stay available until spent.
