Such program shall cover all aspects of the introduc-
tion of this new technology, and shall include the
following components:
(A) Development, installation, and oper-
ation of a hydrogen delivery system located on-
site at transit bus terminals.
(B) Development, installation, and oper-
ation of on-site storage associated with the hy-
drogen delivery systems as well as storage tank
systems incorporated into the bus itself.
(C) Demonstration of use of hydrogen as a
practical, safe, renewable energy source in a
highly efficient, zero-emission power system for
buses.
(D) Development of a hydrogen proton ex-
change membrane fuel cell power system that is
confirmed and verified as being compatible with
transit bus application requirements.
(E) Durability testing of the fuel cell bus
at a national testing facility.
(F) Identification and implementation of
necessary codes and standards for the safe use
of hydrogen as a fuel suitable for bus applica-
tion, including the fuel cell power system and
related operational facilities.
(G) Identification and implementation of
maintenance and overhaul requirements for hy-
drogen proton exchange membrane fuel cell
transit buses.
(H) Completion of fleet vehicle evaluation
program by bus operators along normal transit
routes, providing equipment manufacturers and
transit operators with the necessary analyses to
enable operation of the hydrogen proton ex-
change membrane fuel cell bus under a range of
operating environments.
(2) DOMESTIC ASSEMBLY.—All fuel cell systems
and fuel cell stacks in power plants acquired, or
from which power is acquired, under paragraph (1)
shall be assembled in the United States.
(3) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—For
the purpose of carrying out this subsection, there
are authorized to be appropriated $150,000,000 for
the period encompassing fiscal years 2002 through
2004.
SEC. 5. FEDERAL VEHICLES.
Each agency of the Federal Government that main-
tains a fleet of motor vehicles shall develop a plan for a
transition of the fleet to vehicles powered by fuel cell tech-
nology. Each such plan shall include implementation be-
ginning by fiscal year 2006, to be completed by fiscal year
2011. Each plan shall incorporate and build on the results
of completed and ongoing Federal demonstration pro-
grams, including the program established under section 4,
and shall include additional demonstration programs and
pilot programs as necessary to test or investigate available
technologies and transition procedures.
SEC. 6. LIFE-CYCLE COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS.
Any life-cycle cost benefit analysis undertaken by a
Federal agency with respect to investments in products,
services, construction, and other projects shall include an
analysis of environmental and power reliability factors.
SEC. 7. STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES.
(a) GRANT PROGRAM.—The Secretary of Energy
shall establish a program for making grants to State or
local governments for the use of fuel cell technology in
meeting their energy requirements, including the use as
a source of power for motor vehicles. Each grant made
under this section shall require at least a 10 percent
matching contribution from the State or local government
recipient.
(b) AUTHORIZATION
OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There
are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary of En-
ergy $110,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2002
through 2006 for carrying out this section.
