Decision List No. 108
Week of October 19 through October 23, 1998
AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, INC., 10/20/98, VEA-0009
DOE denied an Appeal filed by American Electric Power Company, Inc.
(AEP) under provisions of 10 C.F.R. Part 490 (Alternative Fuel
Transportation Program). In its Appeal, AEP challenged a determination
by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EE) which
substantially denied a request for an exemption from the firm's 1998
Model Year (MY) alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) purchase requirement. In
considering AEP's Appeal, DOE determined that EE was correct that AEP
was required to attempt acquisition of non-electric AFVs after the firm
determined that electric vehicles were unavailable, although the firm
had elected the electric vehicle option under section 490.307. DOE
further determined that AEP's constructive knowledge of this
requirement coupled with the firm's failure to show ``good faith
efforts'' to acquire non-electric AFVs disqualified the firm from
receiving equitable exemption relief.
