How This Manual Is Updated (FAM)

_____________________________________________________________

Policy revisions are issued by Supervisory Releases (SR), which contain a narrative describing the changes. The manual is revised by the Policy Development Unit along with the FANF Program and updated through New HEIGHTS,

The header of each page identifies:

•       the Chapter, Part, or Section number and name,

•       the manual affected (FAM),

•       the SR number which released the policy,

•       the effective date of the policy, and

•       an automated link to Previous Policy, if applicable.

Part numbers are three digits; the first digit identifies the chapter (e.g., part 409 is from chapter 400). Section numbers further divide the parts and use the part number followed by a decimal point and two digits (e.g., 409.01 refers to chapter 400, part 409, section 01).

As this manual is the basis for administering and implementing BFA programs, it receives updates as policies are revised or editorial changes are needed.

Editorial Updates:

Manual pages are updated without an SR when there is no change to the existing policy but the manual page required an edit. In those circumstances, there will be an indication at the bottom of the page shown as:

“Editorial revisions made: month/year”
