§13253 Replacement Fuel Demand Estimates and Supply Information

Summary

The Secretary must, by October 1, 1993 and every year after, make yearly estimates for the next calendar year of how many of each kind of alternative-fueled vehicle will be in use, where they will be located, how much of each replacement fuel will be available and where, and the greenhouse gas emissions from using those fuels. The Secretary must work with the Administrator, the Transportation Secretary, and other state and federal officials. Starting October 1, 1994, the Secretary must require yearly reports from fuel suppliers on how much replacement fuel they supplied last year and plan to supply next year, and from vehicle suppliers on how many alternative-fueled vehicles they made available last year and plan to make available next year. Suppliers must also give whatever data is needed to calculate greenhouse gas emissions across the whole fuel cycle. Reported information is protected as trade secrets under the law, including section 1905 of title 18.
