This article discusses the need for revising the Motor Fuel XML standard and the reasons behind this initiative. It highlights the concerns raised by the industry regarding the lack of a "true" XML standard and the potential for states to develop their own standards. The article also mentions the interest expressed by the Petroleum Convenience Alliance for Technology Standards group in the development of a national XML standard. It further explains how the use of the Modernized eFile model and the leveraging of already deployed initiatives can benefit the states.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Revision of Motor Fuel XML Suggestions for moving forward….

  2. Why we need to do this….. • Current environment • Initiative resurfaced because one or more states have said they are going to do MF XML. • Industry has expressed concern no “true” XML standard(s) and the states will “do their own thing”. • Representative from Petroleum Convenience Alliance for Technology Standards group reported that his association is very interested in development of national XML standard. He has talked to large software developers and they expressed same.

  3. More reasons..... • States in production with Corporate, Partnership, Payroll, Sales - and Personal Income in 2009. • Approach will allow states to leverage already deployed Modernized eFile initiatives. • Use of Modernized efile model makes sense • Transmission and packaging • Common building blocks (name, address) • Use existing Uniformity Committee Motor Fuel work (schedules, product codes, summary/TIA codes....etc)

  4. Jan. 16th Conference Call • Motor Fuel XML Team - Participants: • States – Doreen Warren, Stan Whaley and Larry Hanson • Fuel Software Industry – Cheryl Gilson and Ray Grimm • TIGERS Chairperson - Terry Garber (South Carolina DOR) • FTA Standards Coordinator – Jonathan Lyon

  5. Desired Outcome • Complete revision (schemas) to take advantage of States’ XML development • Not constrained by 20 years old EDI design rules. Per character cost not an issue…..Internet, not VANS. • XML structure handles repeating row and column format/schedules (tables). • Need to take advantage of XML for data and Web Services for transmission.

  6. Suggested High Level Design

  7. Business Question • States and Industry need to determine whether “combined” reporting is still a business requirement. • Proposed XML could be designed to handle both methods. (Decision made to create separate schemas for each filing type) • Cindy will schedule a conference call to allow the opportunity for questions. • Provide decision to XML team to confirm design direction (Committee confirmed the approach at January 19th meeting)

  8. Action Items • Motor Fuel EC • Additional resources from Industry, State and Software community? • TIGERS meeting in Denver on Feb. 1st • Allocated time on agenda • Discuss the technical approach • Potential timeline • Report on progress at June meeting • Final product ready for October 2008
