Federal Shutdown Due to a Lapse in Appropriations

Important Security Update – FMC to disable/decommission legacy TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 protocols
In compliance with guidance from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), all connections to the SERVCON filing system will require protocol HTTP 1.1 or higher. Failure to use protocol HTTP 1.1 or higher will result in a failed connection. FMC will continue to strive for a better cybersecurity posture and is expected to comply with Http 2.0 guidance in the near future. As always, if you experience difficulties in filing, please reach out to a member of the BTA staff for assistance.
