be construed to limit the authority of any State or local 
government to establish purchase requirements applicable 
to fleets operating primarily within the jurisdiction of the 
State or local government if such requirements are in-
tended to further any policy regarding climate change, the 
control of air pollution, energy independence, or local eco-
nomic benefits. No such State or local requirement shall 
be considered to be an undue burden on interstate com-
merce. A fleet operating in more than one jurisdiction in 
any calendar year shall be treated as operating primarily 
in the jurisdiction in which the largest number of vehicle 
miles were traveled by vehicles in the fleet in the 5-cal-
endar-year period immediately preceding such calendar 
year. 
(c) SAVINGS.—Nothing in this section shall be con-
strued as granting additional authority to State or local 
governments to establish requirements upon the manufac-
turers of automobiles.
