IRP Major Projects - RewriteIRP 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 - RewriteIRP 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.

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

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.
