**(a) Establishment** Within 1 year after October 24, 1992, the Secretary shall establish a program for making low interest loans, giving preference to small businesses that own or operate fleets, for—
(1) the conversion of motor vehicles to operation on alternative fuels;
(2) covering the incremental costs of the purchase of motor vehicles which operate on alternative fuels, when compared with purchase costs of comparable conventionally fueled motor vehicles; or
(3) covering the incremental costs of purchase of non-road vehicles and engines designated by the Secretary pursuant to [section 13238(c) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section13238/c&num=0&edition=prelim).
**(b) Loan terms** The Secretary, to the extent practicable, shall establish reasonable terms for loans made under this subsection, with preference given to repayment schedules that enable such loans to be repaid by the borrower from the cost differential between gasoline and the alternative fuel on which the motor vehicle operates.
**(c) Criteria** In deciding to whom loans shall be made under this subsection, the Secretary shall consider—
(1) the financial need of the applicant;
(2) the goal of assisting the greatest number of applicants; and
(3) the ability of an applicant to repay the loan, taking into account the fuel cost savings likely to accrue to the applicant.
**(d) Priorities** Priority shall be given under this section to fleets where the use of alternative fuels would have a significant beneficial effect on energy security and the environment.
**(e) Authorization of appropriations** There are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary for carrying out this section, $25,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 1993, 1994, and 1995.

(A) evaluating the progress toward achieving the goals of replacement fuel use described in [section 13252(b)(2) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section13252/b/2&num=0&edition=prelim), as modified under [section 13254 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section13254&num=0&edition=

**(a) Findings** The Congress finds—
(1) that the predominant part of the Nation’s population is located in its rapidly expanding metropolitan and other urban areas, which generally cross the boundary lines of local jurisdictions and often extend into two or more States;
(2) that the growth in the amount and complexity of air pollution brought about by urbanization, industrial development, and the increasing use of motor vehicles, has resulted in mounting dangers to the public health and welfare, including injury to agricultural crops and livestock, damage to and the deterioration of property, and hazards to air and ground transportation;
(3) that air pollution prevention (that is, the reduction or elimination, through any measures, of the amount of pollutants produced or created at the source) and air pollution control at its source is the primary responsibility of States and local governments; and
(4) that Federal financial assistance and leadership is essential for the development of cooperative Federal, State, regional, and local programs to prevent and control air pollution.
**(b) Declaration** The purposes of this subchapter are—
(1) to protect and enhance the quality of the Nation’s air resources so as to promote the public health and welfare and the productive capacity of its population;
(2) to initiate and accelerate a national research and development program to achieve the prevention and control of air pollution;
(3) to provide technical and financial assistance to State and local governments in connection with the development and execution of their air pollution prevention and control programs; and
(4) to encourage and assist the development and operation of regional air pollution prevention and control programs.
