9. FTPBP #3-2014 Sponsored by IFTA Audit Committee
Amends: Too many to list!
Summary: Changes are proposed for the Articles of Agreement, Audit Manual, and Procedures Manual.
Intent: To provide distance reporting requirements for IFTA that address technological advances in the recording of qualified motor vehicle travel. Clarify requirements on licensees and jurisdictions by reorganizing authoritative documents and eliminating superfluous information.
Technological advances in the generation of records for Licensee operations. An increased reliance on electronic systems and their configuration have made many of the requirements contained in P500 and P600 obsolete.

10. FTPBP #3-2014
Licensee requirements currently located in the Procedures Manual are moved to the Articles of Agreement. Licensee’s will have a single document to reference their responsibilities and if selected for audit they can reference the Audit Manual to familiarize themselves with the audit process.
The Audit Manual has been updated to only include the member jurisdiction requirements for which they will be held accountable during Program Compliance Reviews. Items that are not requirements are moved to the Best Practices Guide. The use of “must” and “should” are introduced where “must” is an absolute requirement while “should” is a requirement that if not fulfilled requires documentation of why the action could not take place.

15. Short Track #5-2014
Saturday, January 12, 2019

16. Short Track #5-2014 Sponsored by IFTA, Inc. Board of Trustees
Amends: IFTA Procedures P1300, Units of Measurement
Summary: To establish a standard unit measure for liquid natural gas (“LNG”) reporting and transmittal purposes between IFTA members.
In the US, the National Conference on Weights and Measures (“NCWM”) developed a model law, which provides that 1 diesel gallon equivalent (“DGE”) for LNG wieghs 6.06 lbs. The US as a whole is probably heading in this direction.
Canada is opposed to energy equivalents.
The intent of this bill is that there be a standard unit of measure for LNG reporting and transmitting purposes.
