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.
