Defines "medium-duty truck" as a truck with a gross vehicle weight between 10,000 and 26,000 pounds.

Requires the Secretary of Transportation to: (1) prescribe separate increased minimum CAFE standards for different classes of automobiles manufactured beginning for model year 2012, but adds an increase of 4% per year in such standard for model years 2013 through 2030; and (2) establish CAFE standards for medium-duty trucks that are consistent with hybridization beginning for model year 2012.

Revises the calculation of fuel economy standards for dual fueled automobiles and gaseous fuel dual fueled automobiles manufactured in model year 2012 and beyond to require using the same calculation provisions as used for gas or diesel fueled vehicles. Repeals provisions allowing the Department of Transportation (DOT) to extend manufacturing credits for such automobiles.

Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''National Center for Excellence in
Research and Development Act of 1996''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) Due to the end of the Cold War, the United States has
not recently conducted underground nuclear testing at the
Department of Energy facility known as the Nevada Test Site,
Nevada, and the United States does not plan to conduct such
testing in the foreseeable future.
(2) Because the world political situation is ever-changing
and dangerous, it is imperative that the United States remain
strong militarily and continue to be a nuclear superpower.
(3) It is imperative that portions of the Nevada Test Site
be maintained in a full state of readiness to ensure the
capability of the nuclear arsenal of the United States.
(4) The Nevada Test Site is in a beneficial location for
activities suitable for research and development of emerging
technologies that will be important to the United States in the
21st century.
(5) Technology development carried out at the Nevada Test
Site should include both private-sector and military projects.
(6) The Nevada Test Site can support the stewardship of the
Nation's nuclear weapons stockpile, the nonproliferation of
nuclear weapons, and the technological competitiveness of the
United States by providing the environment for nuclear and non-
nuclear test and demonstration experiments and projects for
government, industry, and academia.
(7) The Nevada Test Site can provide the infrastructure to
support industrial and civilian tests of environmentally
demanding projects and programs in addition to maintaining its
readiness capability in support of the nuclear arsenal.
(8) The Nevada Test Site can support the testing and
demonstration of environmental clean-up technologies by
government and industry.
(9) The Nevada Test Site can support the testing of
alternative and renewable energy sources for environmentally
clean and economically competitive replacements for traditional
fossil energy sources and uses in many parts of Nevada and in
the United States as a whole.
(10) The Nevada Test Site can provide support for
disarmament activities such as the demonstration of rocket
motor destruction technology and conventional munitions
destruction technology.
(11) The Nevada Test Site can support non-proliferation
experiments in disablement, nuclear forensics, sensors, and
verification and monitoring.
(12) The Nevada Test Site can support treaty-compliant
experiments for stockpile stewardship purposes.
(13) The size and remoteness of the Nevada Test Site make
the Nevada Test Site well-suited for a multitude of activities
associated with the restructuring of the United States
military.
(14) The Nevada Test Site can also support non-
proliferation, counter-proliferation, and counter-terrorism
activities.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

It is the purpose of this Act--
(1) to ensure full operational readiness of the underground
nuclear testing facilities and infrastructure of the Nevada
Test Site;

readiness to be maintained;
(3) to create a National Test and Demonstration Center of
Excellence at the Nevada Test Site for the promotion of
disarmament, demilitarization, alternative and renewable energy
sources, the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons, counter-
proliferation of nuclear weapons, sensor development, and
environmentally sensitive technologies; and
(4) to ensure the availability of the Nevada Test Site,
within appropriate restrictions, for use by private-sector
industries seeking to make use of the inherent qualities that
make the Nevada Test Site the greatest outdoor laboratory in
the world.

(1) is not less than the amount appropriated to the Secretary
of Energy for fiscal year 1992 to maintain the operational
readiness of the underground nuclear testing facilities and
infrastructure of the Nevada Test Site.

staffing level at the Nevada Test Site that the Secretary considers
sufficient to carry out activities under this Act in addition to any
other activities conducted by the Department of Energy at the Nevada
Test Site.

(2) requiring new electric or hybrid vehicles to provide an
alert sound conforming to the requirements of the motor vehicle
safety standard established under this subsection.
The motor vehicle safety standard established under this subsection
shall not require either driver or pedestrian activation of the alert
sound and shall allow the pedestrian to reasonably detect a nearby
electric or hybrid vehicle in critical operating scenarios including,
but not limited to, constant speed, accelerating, or decelerating. The
Secretary shall allow manufacturers to provide each vehicle with one or

order to remedy a defect or non-compliance with the motor vehicle
safety standard. The Secretary shall promulgate the required motor
vehicle safety standard pursuant to this subsection not later than 36
months after the date of enactment of this Act.
(b) Consideration.--When conducting the required rulemaking, the
Secretary shall--
(1) determine the minimum level of sound emitted from a motor
vehicle that is necessary to provide blind and other pedestrians

that is recognizable to a pedestrian as a motor vehicle in
operation; and
(3) consider the overall community noise impact.

standard for motor vehicles manufactured on or after September 1st of
the calendar year that begins 3 years after the date on which the final
rule is issued.
(d) Required Consultation.--When conducting the required study and
rulemaking, the Secretary shall--
