-   The purpose of this paper is only to stimulate discussion of
    strategies to increase the number of IRP registered vehicles in
    SAFER. The data used is the best available at this time.

-   Based on the 2005 IRP audit report there were 1,977,003 IRP
    registered power units in calendar year 2004.

-   There were 619,666 IRP records in SAFER as of 6/22/06, approximately
    31% of the IRP registered power units.

```
-   25 states claim to have a functioning CVIEW. These states have 50%
    of the IRP registered power units, and 98% of IRP records in SAFER.

-   15 states do not have a CVIEW but do contract with a vendor for IRP
    back-end processing.

[Possible Strategies]{.underline}

1.  Work with IRP back-end vendors to develop a feed to SAFER.

> Advantage: This would provide timely data to SAFER.
>
> Disadvantage: Would not provide capability for state to receive data
> from SAFER.
>
> Guesstimated cost - \$100,000 general (design plus SAFER
> modifications) plus \$50,000 per vendor.

2\. Work with IRP Clearinghouse to develop feed to SAFER.

> Advantage: Other states have access to data.
>
> Disadvantage: Cycle time, time from actual transaction until data is
> in SAFER could be up to 60 days, however would have accurate data
> remaining 10 months of the year.
>
> Issue: Would need process to not overwrite more recent data.
>
> Guesstimated cost - \$100,000

3\. Work with the 2 states that have the highest number of IRP
registered power units, that are not currently feeding SAFER or included
in #1 or #2 above) to develop a feed from state IRP system to SAFER (IL
-- 8.8% of IRP registered power units; PA -- 4.4% of IRP registered
power units).

> Guesstimated cost - \$200,000 per state.

[Result]{.underline}

IRP registered power units currently in SAFER : 31%

Potential increase from the following actions:

Improve feeds from states with CVIEW: 19%

Develop & implement vendor feed to SAFER 20%

Develop & implement IRP Clearinghouse facility: 15%

Implementing direct feeds from 2 states: 13%

Potential IRP registered power units in SAFER: 98%
