Due to a database issue at Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the CPS processed a small number of ISIRs on Monday, April 26, with a blank value for the DHS Match Flag (158 for 2003-2004 and 621 for 2004-2005). The CPS identified the records and reprocessed them with the correct DHS Match Flag today, Tuesday, April 27, generating new ISIRs.

SARs or e-mail notifications will be sent to students. ISIRs will be sent to schools dated Tuesday, April 27, 2004.

System Generated Indicator (ISIR field #136, position 602) will equal "Z"

Comment Code 172 will be present in ISIR field #265

Reprocessed Reason Code (ISIR field #268, positions 1670-1671) will equal "05"
