This section directs the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Administrator of General Services, and the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality to develop and publicly release, within 120 days, short-term and long-term strategies to reduce federal transportation fuel consumption when prices rise 33 percent or more year-over-year, using Energy Information Administration Motor Gasoline Price Survey data. The strategies must include a plan for immediate General Services Administration fuel reductions during such periods, a 10 percent annual reduction in federal fleet fuel use (excluding defense, homeland security, and law enforcement), an assessment of alternative fueling options for federal fleets and employee vehicles, and recommendations to Congress; implementation ends after 180 consecutive days below the threshold and does not apply to non-General Services Administration or United States Postal Service vehicles.
