CHANGE HISTORY 1995-1999

A. CJIS-RS-0010 (V4), August 24, 1995 - This version incorporates RFCs, 787, 842, 850, 877, 896, 898, and 906

B. CJIS-RS-0010 (V5), June 6, 1997 - This version release is a single-sided document and will be managed as such hereafter. This version incorporates the following RFCs:

870R2 Latent Search: need to develop a concept of operations, need to define/verify the requirement for the service provider to cancel searches and need to develop overall resource utilization concept, specification and flow requirements to segments: Sections 3.4.1.5, 3.4.1.6, 3.4.2, 3.11, 3.11.1, 3.11.1.1, 3.11.1.2, 3.11.1.3, 3.11.1.4, App.C: CFS, ETC, NCR, PEN, PRI, QDD, QUE, RIX, ROR, RSR, Table E-9, E-10, E-24, E-25, E-26, E-27, E-28, E-29

935 Modify IAFIS message A1003, A3026, and E1003 to include additional fields to support transmit of electronic rap sheet. Sections 3.1, 3.1.1.1, 3.1.1.11, App. C: ERS, RAP, SCO, Table D-11.

938 Modify EFTS standard to include new Type-10 image record and 3 Type-2 records. Sections 1.2, 3.1.1.1, 3.1.1.2, 3.10, 3.10.1, 3.10.1.1, 3.10.1.2, 3.10.1.3, 3.10.2, 3.10.2.1, 3.10.2.2, Table I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, J-1, App. K.

944 Change the EFTS to define three non-operational environments - training, test and development. Sections App. B: 1.04 (TOT), Table B-1.

946 Modify EFTS records Type 10 TOT=PHO, Type 2 TOT=PDR,PRR, CPD,CPR. All records had field “IDC” added to them.

960 Extends the period of time from (7 to 14 days) for latent specialists and external users to confirm permanent addition to the unsolved latent fingerprint. Section 3.3.1.1,3.5, 3.5.1.2, 3.5.1.5

961 Provides latent service providers with the capability to solve latent cases. Section Appendix F, 5.0

1021 Added Elements FGN and MSC. Changed the following EFTS Type-2 Records: LSR-changed occurrence of CIN and CIX from 100 to 5, added elements DOB, HGT, WGT, CRI, ERS, NOTE, Deleted the following elements, AGR, HTR, WTR, EAD, OCP, RES; NAR - added element CRI; SRL - added elements FGN, MSC, NCR. Section Appendix C, Appendix E.

1023 Changes to PAT, Addition of AMP. Deleted the NCIC and the PAT from selected TOTs. Added AMP to selected TOTs. Section Appendices C, D, and E.

1029 Redefined error messages based on usage, ERRA for administrative transaction errors, ERRT for ten-print transaction errors, ERRI for image transaction errors, and ERRL for latent transaction errors. Each group of transactions requires different data output when errors are encountered. The current EFTS lists 3 of these messages with the same name and a fourth error message for administrative messages was added. Customizing the messages this way will decrease response time when an error is encountered. Sections 3.1, 3.1.1.12, 3.2.1.4, 3.3, 3.3.1.8, 3.4, 3.4.1.4, 3.5, 3.5.1.7, 3.6, 3.6.1.1, 3.6.1.4, 3.7, 3.7.1.3, 3.8, 3.11, 3.11.1.5, Appendices D & E.

1025R2 Updated text to include SRE and CRN. Added Civil Record Number (CRN). Section 3.1.1.11, Appendices C and D.

C.
CJIS-RS-0010 (V6R2), March 1998 - This version has come about in three stages. A V6 Working Draft was produced in August, 1997 and was reviewed at a User Technical Review on August 26, 1997. Subsequent comments were incorporated as revision 1 of this working draft and distributed on September 30, 1997 as Version 6, Revision 1 (Working Draft). Comments were received against revision 1 and were incorporated into an official V6R2 dated March 1998.
C.1
V6WD, August 1997 - This Version 6 Working Draft incorporates the following RCFs:

1024R2 Removed range AGR, WTR, HTR, DPR and DOS from ten-print transactions. Added TAA to criminal ten-print transactions and CRI to all transactions requiring a response. Added PRI and case-ID extensions CIX LCX to latent transactions. Deleted the MIR as a separate transaction (subsumed into IRQ). Added latent requirements. Added placeholder for Type-7 and Type-9 records.

1035R3 Modified latent, and remote ten-print search requirements. Added CRI, FGP, NCR, and ULF to latent search records. Added fields and field edit specifications to Type-7 record. Modified MRC set definition for Type-9 record.

1051R3 Modified SRE (response) requirements to cover incomplete responses when dealing with NFF states.

1069R1 Added Appendix K describing the new NIST Type-10 (photo) record. Removed old Appendix J, which formerly contained the interim Type-10 definition. Added DOS to photo transactions, CPR, CPD PDR, and

PRR. Added DOS to PRR and PDR.

1070R1 Modified unsolved latent transactions. Replaced ULNC transaction with UULD. Defined and added ASCN field to unsolved latent file maintenance transitions.

1074R1 Corrected error response text to recognize four distinct error types. Modified ERRI definition.

1078R1 Modified requirements for latent penetration query, latent cognizant query, and latent search status and modification query. Modified corresponding responses. Added ASCN to these queries for reference to prior search submissions. Removed SCO, OCA, ROR, RIX and QUE fields.

1080R1 Modified T9TRANS definition to include AFV.

1087R1 Established maximum sizes for fingerprint images.

1099R1 Established T2ISR, (Image Summary Response) transaction.

In addition to the RFCs listed above, the Version 6 Working Draft (V6WD) incorporates the following noteworthy general changes:

  1. Data for the tables in Appendices B through K now are drawn from a database rather than being entered as text in the WordPerfect EFTS document. This database, which is built in Microsoft Access, contains application-specific functionality to generate those tables.
  2. The EFTS has been reformatted to present the data in Appendices D and E in a more concise manner. Text has been judiciously added to Section 1 and Appendix D to explain and provide a guide to the new table formats.
  3. Text has been added in Section 2 on the use of tagged fields and on error handling.
  4. JPEG has been added as an approved compression algorithm for fingerprint images (this applies to UK’s Home Office only.) The Addendum, ANSI/NIST-ITL 1a-1997 (American National Standard For Information Systems - Data Format for the Exchange of Fingerprint, Facial & SMT Information) has been incorporated into the EFTS for Type-10 Record Definitions.

Further, there have been changes in V6WD to some data elements and/or logical records which are not due to a prio r RFC. These changes were made only to correct obvious oversights/errors in an RFC or in V5 data. Detail of these numerous changes has been documented in the EFTS V6WD Comments and Dispositions document.

  1. V6WDR1, September 30, 1997 - This revision of the working draft incorporates changes arising from the disposition of comments by attendees of the User Technical Review on August 26, 1997, together with changes due to comments from internal reviews of V6WD. The internal reviews have resulted in RFCs 1127R1, 1129R1, and 1130R1. While the intent of these was to change the IAFIS MDD, they have affected some EFTS data. All such changes have been captured in the EFTS V6 Comment Dispositions document.
  2. V6R2, March 1998 - RFC 1168R1 incorporates changes arising from ISS comments against V6WDR1 and IAFIS/SEU activities to make engineering data consistent between the EFTS and IAFIS’ Message Data Dictionary (MDD). These internal reviews have also resulted in some of the content of RFC 1149R1. While the intent of this RFC has been to correct the MDD, some changes also have affected the EFTS, and have been incorporated into V6R2.

The following changes are noteworthy:

  1. Every set using CRI now allows up to three instances of it. This provides a means to handle intermediate routing from the State Ident Bureau to the Local Booking Station where necessary. Additional instance of the CRI can be used as the States wish to support Applicant Submissions and other such needs.
  2. Text in the body of the EFTS (especially Sections 3 and Appendix C) now states more clearly the intent and use of transactions and elements.
    1. An Appendix L has been added that collects EFTS-wide summary tables for reference by developers. Currently, two types of tables have been put into this Appendix. The first is a set of two tables listing first in Alphabetic order, then in Tag order every EFTS element.
    2. The second is a set of two tables, the first listing recordset requirements for each submission, the second listing recordset requirements for each possible response to each submission.
  3. EFTS specifications for elements and sets are now consistent with the IAFIS’s MDD, now providing the same interface information to IAFIS segment developers and to the EFTS development community. These changes to Version 6 Revision 2 EFTS data, which are the results of a maturing IAFIS design, provide the robustness in the communication interface needed to support the user community’s automation of ten-print submissions.

D. CJIS-RS-0010 (V7), January 29, 1999 -This version incorporates several important revisions. New Type-9 records are defined for ten-print and latent features searches. Latent transactions are revised. Several appendices are revised to provide references that were noted as lacking, and organization of some material has been changed to make it more accessible than in previous versions. The following provides more detail:

1195R2 Added these to Appendix C. Made PAT mandatory in ten-print features search. Added RCD1, RCD2 to TPFS, TPIS, LFFS, LFIS, LPNQ. Added optional FGP to LPNQ. Remove IMA from LFFS

1200R2 Defined new Native Mode Searches for the EFTS. Replaced old T9TRANS (Table J-1) recordset with T9TRANS_L (Table J-1) for latent searches and T9TRANS_T (Table J-2) for ten-print searches. Completely replaced Appendix J as a result. Added Reference Note Table (Table J-3) to Appendix J.

1213R1 Major Revision to EFTS. Incorporated IAFIS View Review Errata affecting EFTS. Incorporated changes to Latent Transactions per November 15, 1998 EFTS Users Meeting. Incorporated various changes based upon user comments from NY, SC, CA, User Meeting Minutes, AFIS (Lockheed Martin, Orlando FL) EFIPS (Lockheed Martin, OakRidge TN), FBI Latent Fingerprint Section (Steve Meagher) and IAFIS System Engineering Unit. The following general revisions are of interest:

  1. Replaced entire Appendix J.
  2. Revised Appendix L, replacing reference tables cross-referencing element IDs and tag numbers, and tables listing recordsets by transaction type.
  3. Added detail to error codes in Appendix M.
  4. Reorganized Reference Note Tables, distributing notes to appendices in which they are referenced.
  5. Added discussion on ORI vice CRI use.
  6. Added discussion of User Defined fields and edit restrictions to same.
  7. Revised discussion of IAFIS error handling.
  8. Revised descriptions of latent and native-mode search transactions.
