IRP Major Projects - Rewrite ü Rewrite Purpose: Ø The Plan needs to better reflect modern technology and business practices. Ø The language in the Plan needs to be clear. Ø The various Plan sections should be coordinated and consistent. Ø The Plan should allow for full implementation of NAFTA, including the eventual admission of Mexico as an IRP member.

IRP Major Projects - Rewrite Concepts: Ø “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. ” Ø Organize Plan into topic areas – it will be easier to understand administer Ø Determine which audit requirements belong in the Plan and which belong in the Audit Procedures Manual Ø Remove obsolete language Ø Remove unofficial commentary that is not binding Ø Remove all unneeded requirements for registrants and/or jurisdictions

IRP Major Projects – Rewrite Benefits: Ø Future participation of Mexico as a member jurisdiction. Ø Provide clarity and uniformity in determining IRP registration fees. Ø 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. Ø Clear alternatives for establishing a base jurisdiction. Ø Adding “reasonableness” and jurisdiction accountability.
