GENERAL.—Notwithstanding
any other provision of law, any petition
submitted under section 10.30 of title 21,
Code of Federal Regulations (or any suc-
cessor regulation), shall include a state-
ment that to the best knowledge and belief
of the petitioner, the petition—

PROVISION.—Section 1001 of title 18,
(8) Despite the availability of significant Fed-
eral and private sector funds and programs to en-
courage technological advancement for the develop-
ment and use of motor vehicles that are powered by
fuel cell and hybrid technologies, battery electric
technology, and alternative technologies, consumer
acceptance of such vehicles and fuels has been re-
strained by 3 major barriers—the increased costs of
these technologies, the cost of alternative fuels, and
the lack of adequate infrastructure to refuel the al-
ternative-fueled vehicles.
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are to—
(1) help instill consumer confidence and accept-
ance of alternative motor vehicles by lowering the 3
major barriers to this confidence and acceptance;
(2) enable the accelerated introduction into the
marketplace of new motor vehicle technologies with-
out adverse emission impact, while retaining a policy
of fuel neutrality in order to foster private innova-
tion and commercialization and allow market forces
to decide the technologies and fuels that are con-
sumer-friendly, safe, environmentally sound, and
economic;
(3) provide, for a limited time period, financial
incentives to encourage consumers nationwide to
purchase or lease new fuel cell, hybrid, battery elec-
tric, and alternative fuel motor vehicles;
(4) increase demand of such vehicles so as to
make the annual production by manufacturers and
retail sale of such vehicles economically and commer-
cially viable for the consumer;
(5) promote and expand the use of such vehicles
nationwide; and
(6) promote a nationwide diversity of motor ve-
hicle fuels for advanced and hybrid technology and
alternatively fueled motor vehicles.

chapter A of chapter 1 (relating to foreign tax credit, etc.)

ment could reasonably be asserted if a person
not licensed by the owner engaged in the manu-
facture, use, or sale of the drug, after the date
of approval of the application.

scribed in paragraph (1) shall—

the patent; and

plete and accurate listing of all such patents.
‘‘(3) SECRETARY.—The Secretary shall list the

ance with subsection (j)(7).’’.

(a) IN GENERAL.—Not later than the date that is
5 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Fed-
eral Trade Commission shall submit to Congress a report
describing the extent to which implementation of the
amendments made by this Act—
(1) has enabled products to come to market in

rights of patent owners under intellectual property
law; and
(2) has promoted lower prices of drugs and
greater access to drugs through price competition.
(b) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There is
