     of this Act.
       (B) Report.--Not later than two years after the date of the

     prescribed under subparagraph (A) shall be based on the 
     testing process identified in the report required under 
     paragraph (1)(B) as providing the most accurate measures of 
     actual automobile fuel economy.

     United States Code, to take into account improved accuracy in 
     the calculation of automobile fuel economy that results from 
     use of the revised testing procedure applied as required 
     under paragraph (2).
       (B) Condition.--The Secretary shall ensure that each 
     average fuel economy standard applied as amended under 
     subparagraph (A) is at least as stringent as the 
     corresponding average fuel economy standard that the 
     Secretary would have applied under section 32902 of title 49, 
     United States Code, if the fuel economy testing procedure had 
     not been revised as required under paragraph (2).
