    Blue Top Distribution List to Transition to Federal and Agency-Approved Emails Only on June 13
    Please note, beginning June 13, 2019, the Blue Top newsletter distribution list will be cleaned of all non-government email addresses that aren’t approved by an Agency Lead. This change is being implemented to improve security, ensure the legitimacy of recipients, and remove email bots that are currently subscribed. If you are currently subscribed to the Blue Top newsletter with a federal email addresses (e.g., @gsa.gov; @usda.gov; @mail.mil; etc.), no action is required and you will continue to receive the newsletter each month.

    Release 15 Scheduled for this Weekend
    USAccess Release 15 is scheduled for this weekend, February 16-18, after being moved from January. An updated draft release notice was posted on the Agency Lead Portal and emailed to Agency Leads on Jan. 28. The MSO was granted a short extension on its Authority to Operate (ATO) to get through the shutdown. The release contains elements that mitigate vulnerabilities, which are critical to GSA granting USAccess a new ATO.

    PIV Card Returns During Government Shutdown
    In January and February, the MSO worked through approximately 2,500 cards that were returned during the shutdown due to offices being closed. The normal weekly average for returned cards is approximately 5-10. As of Thursday, Feb. 7, all returned cards that were received during the shutdown were processed and sent out to their original ship-to sites. We appreciate agencies’ patience as we worked through this process. If you have questions about returned cards, please contact hspd12@gsa.gov.
