        Office of Management and Budget.
    ``(3)(A) The head of an executive agency may use Federal Government

private sector sources, only if there are demonstrated greater cost-
efficiencies achieved by agency operation of the fleet, by not later 
than--
            ``(i) 1 year after the date of the enactment of the 
        Efficient Fleet Management Act of 1995, in the case of a motor 
        vehicle fleet operated on that date of enactment; or
            ``(ii) 1 year after the date on which a motor vehicle fleet 
        is first operated by Federal Government personnel, in the case 
        of a fleet first operated after that date of enactment.
    ``(B) Each report under this paragraph shall include--
            ``(i) all direct costs incurred by the Federal Government 
        related to inventory, repair facilities, depreciation, and 
        preventative maintenance for motor vehicle fleet activities;
            ``(ii) all overhead costs incurred by the Federal 
        Government related to those activities, including travel, 
        training, printing, telephones, and data processing activities;
            ``(iii) a description of all actions that led to the 
        awarding of the contract and a review of all reforms of agency 
        fleet management, such as the establishment of a revolving 
        fund, the elimination of potentially restrictive solicitations, 
        or the conduct of appropriate utilization assessments to 
        determine the right size of a fleet; and
            ``(iv) such other costs and information regarding those 
        activities as the Director may require.
    ``(4) In this subsection:
            ``(A) The term `competitive procedures' has the meaning 
        given that term in section 4 of the Office of Federal 
        Procurement Policy Act.
            ``(B) The term `Director' means the Director of the Office 
        of Management and Budget.
            ``(C) Notwithstanding section 3, the term `executive

be reduced by $200,000,000 (or approximately 10 percent) below the 
amount expended by all executive agencies for that operation in fiscal 
year 1995.
