## Data Collection & Reporting Requirements

**Multiple Fleet Reporting Requirements Recognized**
**On-Line Reporting System Developed by DOE/GSA called Federal Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST)**
**FAST Benefits Include: **
**Consolidates Fleet Reporting Requirements for E.O. 13149, EPAct, & SF- 82**
**Stores Data for Easy Access/Review and Annual Reporting**
**Simplifies Reporting Process and Eliminates Paperwork**
**Rolls-up Fleet Level Data to Agency-Level Automatically**
