L. 107–217, §§ 1, 6(b), Aug. 21, 2002, 116 Stat. 1062, 1304), see section 2(a) of Ex. Ord. No. 10289, eff. Sept. 17, 1951, 16 F.R. 9409, set out as a note under section 301 of Title 3, The President.
40 U.S.C. § 17501 (PUBLIC BUILDINGS, PROPERTY, AND WORKS)
§ 17501. Definitions
In this chapter, the following definitions apply:
(1) Executive agency.—
The term “executive agency”—
(A) means an executive agency (as that term is defined in section 105 of title 5) that operates at least 300 motor vehicles; but
(B) does not include the Tennessee Valley Authority.
(2) Motor vehicle.—
The term “motor vehicle” means—
(A) a vehicle self-propelled or drawn by mechanical power; but not
(B) a vehicle designed or used for military field training, combat, or tactical purposes, or any other special purpose vehicle exempted from the requirements of this chapter by the Administrator of General Services.

Pub. L. 99–272, title XV, § 15313, Apr. 7, 1986, 100 Stat. 338.
In this section, the text of 40:913(2)–(4) is omitted as unnecessary because the complete names of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Administrator of General Services, and the Comptroller General of the United States are used the first time the terms appear in a section.
Before clause (1), the words “this chapter” were in the original “this title”, meaning title XV (§§ 15101 to 15313) of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (Public Law 99–272, 100 Stat. 330). In clause (2)(B), the words “this chapter” are substituted for “this part” as the probable intent of Congress because title XV of the Act does not contain part designations and the intention was probably to refer to title XV, which is restated as this chapter.
40 U.S.C. § 17502 (PUBLIC BUILDINGS, PROPERTY, AND WORKS)
§ 17502. Monitoring system
The head of each executive agency shall designate one office, officer, or employee of the agency—
(1) to establish and operate a central monitoring system for the motor vehicle operations of the agency, related activities, and related reporting requirements; and
(2) provide oversight of those operations, activities, and requirements.

(b) Contents of Summary and Analysis.—
Each summary and analysis shall include a review, for the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the budget is submitted, the current fiscal year, and the fiscal year for which the budget is submitted, of the cost savings that have been achieved, that are estimated will be achieved, and that could be achieved, in the acquisition, maintenance, leasing, operation, and disposal of motor vehicles by executive agencies through—
