I know there are some Retirees here, who really like digging into things. And some not-retireds who are bored at work, and do likewise.
Here's the problem: I found the exact wording of the "cash for clunkers" bill, which is really called the "Consumer Assistance To Recycle And Save Program".
I found it at thomas.gov, a search for HR 2346, Title XIII. The last version listed there is the bill that passed both houses of Congress.
Within the bill there are rules concerning different vehicle types. Of interest to me is the "Category 1 truck". In the definitions area of the bill it says:
(2) the term 'category 1 truck' means a nonpassenger automobile, as defined in section 32901(a)(17) of title 49, United States Code, that has a combined fuel economy of at least 18 miles per gallon, except that such term does not include a category 2 truck;
So far, I can not find USC title 49 32901 with an (a)(17). I found at gpoaccess.gov a 2006 version, that only went to (a)(16). So (a)(17) must have been added after 2006.
I'm stumped where else to look. I tried to look it up in CFR (Code of Federal Regulations), but got lost there. And I don't know if it was ever published in the CFR.
I need to find the exact wording of 49 USC 32901(a)(17). A google search turns up all sorts of docs that call the document, but not the document itself. I'm stumped...
