The UCR Audit Subcommittee Chair and
Vice-Chair will summarize the
recommendations made by the Audit
Subcommittee at its July 25, 2024, meeting to
remake the existing compliance initiatives
applicable to all UCR Plan participating
States. The revised compliance initiatives
would instead require, beginning with the
2025 registration/audit year, that all
participating States meet 3 out of the
following 4 compliance initiatives as follows:
1. Previous or Reporting Year Unregistered
Motor Carrier Audits for Tiers 4, 5, and 6 and
requiring 100% closure;
2. Tying Retreat Audits to Inspections that
occurred within the previous year or
reporting year and requiring 100% closure;
3. Making FARs Audits applicable to the
current year (October–June) in Tiers 4, 5, and
6 and requiring 100% closure; and,
4. Previous or Reporting Year UCR
Violations Audits and requiring 100%
closure. The Board may consider action to
approve (1) replacing the current compliance
initiatives with the new compliance
initiatives described above, and (2) revising
the Annual State Audit Reporting Evaluation
Process to require participating states to meet
3 out 4 of the new compliance initiatives
beginning with the 2025 registration/audit
year.

Possible Options Under Consideration for the

Transportation and Seiko Soft Representative
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
The Subcommittee Chair, Vice Chair, DSL
Transportation and Seiko Soft will lead a
discussion on the status of the new Retreat
Audit Program. The new Program utilizes
roadside inspection data to conduct real-time
automated audits of both non-IRP and IRPplated commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). At
least three possible choices will be presented
for Board discussion tying inspection data to
a CMVs’ UCR registration/renewal:
• Stopping the registration/renewal
transaction if the CMV does not agree with
the vehicle count.
• Interrupting the registration/renewal
transaction by showing inspection data to the
CMV and sending the renewal to support for
assistance.
• Allowing for normal CMV registration/
renewal but with the creation of a Retreat
Audit.
Education and Training Subcommittee
The UCR Education and Training
Subcommittee Chair will discuss the
development of key projects. The projects
that will be discussed include the
development of the educational audit
certificate program, the optimization and
redesign of the UCR Plan website, and the
creation of a video explaining the importance
of the UCR Plan and the National
Registration System.
