This announcement informs agencies that TFM Volume I, Part 6, Chapter 5000: Administrative Accounting Systems Requirements in Support of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, is rescinded. This TFM chapter notified agencies of a requirement to update their internal accounting software to accommodate an invoice number of a minimum of 20 characters.
