Active IBs

 

 
The links on this page are protected by eAuthentication and restricted to FSA employees and contractors with eAuthentication Level 2 access.

 
Information Bulletins (IBs) are released from time to time containing valuable information pertaining to various processes and procedures relevant to FSA. An IB may be classified as Active or Archived. An Active IB is a bulletin that has not expired. In other words, the information contained in the bulletin remains appropriate and still applies to the current environment. An Archived IB is a bulletin that has expired. An IB is expired when a date defined within it renders the IB useless. For example, an IB that indicates platform "AAA" will be decommissioned on 1/1/2009 has an expiration date of 1/1/2009 and will be archived on that date. IBs will also be archived when the content is no longer applicable (i.e., the standards have changed).

 
A complete list of the current IBs can be found below. Expired IBs can be found on the Archived IBs page.
