nTo ensure that the AQS servers were not
overwhelmed with the
increased network traffic and to guarantee a smooth e-filing enrollment process, we separated agency
enrollment into four
phases, as noted below.
•Phase 1: Department of Homeland
Security agencies
and Department of State (effective March 1)
•Phase 2: Department of Veterans Affairs
(pending enrollment
forms)
•Phase 3: Department of Defense (ready
to deploy)
•Phase 4: Remaining Federal agencies (excluding USPS)
