particular circumstance, using a zero-emission vehicle will not be 
technically feasible.

shall not apply with respect to purchases made and leases entered into

        greenhouse gas, other than water vapor, in any mode of 
        operation or condition, as determined by the Administrator of 
        the Environmental Protection Agency.
            (2) Federal agency.--The term ``Federal Agency'' means an
