IRP Major Projects - Rewrite • Rewrite Guiding Principle: A registrant is a registrant: All vehicles should be registered under the same rules – unless there is a compelling reason or conflicting regulation for a particular industry segment that requires following different rules.
IRP Major Projects - Rewrite • Rewrite Purpose: • The Plan needs to better reflect modern technology and business practices. • The language in the Plan needs to be clear. • The various Plan sections should be coordinated and consistent. • The Plan should allow for full implementation of NAFTA, including the eventual admission of Mexico as an IRP member.
IRP Major Projects - Rewrite Rewrite Concepts: • “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.” • Organize Plan into topic areas – it will be easier to understand and administer • Determine which audit requirements belong in the Plan and which belong in the Audit Procedures Manual • Remove obsolete language • Remove unofficial commentary that is not binding • Remove all unneeded requirements for registrants and/or jurisdictions
IRP Major Projects – Rewrite Rewrite Benefits: • Future participation of Mexico as a member jurisdiction. • Provide clarity and uniformity in determining IRP registration fees. • Specific guidance for fleet consolidation, addition of vehicles, and splitting fees. This will ensure jurisdictions realize appropriate revenue when fleets are changed or moved from one jurisdiction to another. • Clear alternatives for establishing a base jurisdiction. • Adding “reasonableness” and jurisdiction accountability.
