        - Replacement of IFCS(Confirming with Authoritative Sources)
        - The Intragovernmental Fiduciary Confirmation System (IFCS) will be decommissioned after Q4 2013
        - In GTAS, there will be two ways to confirm balances with the authoritative sources:

Agency investments and borrowings balances will be verified against the authoritative sources via the following proposed analytical edits:

Investments:  Edits 56, 57, and 58

Borrowings:  Edits 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, and 64

Department of Labor and Office of Personnel Management

Reference reports will be available to view information provided by DOL and OPM for authoritative source balances

        - Current IFCS points of contact for each agency will need access to GTAS, in order to run the reports containing the authoritative source information
