Technical Assistance Advisories

The OIC has conducted a review of all of its Bulletins and Technical Assistance Advisories as a component of its ongoing regulatory improvement process. Many of these Bulletins and Technical Assistance Advisories were issued at the request of regulated entities to explain the implementation of recently enacted laws or to address recurring questions. While they were a useful communication tool at the time, it is now appropriate to retire the following 47 Bulletins and Technical Assistance Advisories as they have served their purpose. This action does not indicate any change in the position of the OIC regarding the matters discussed in the retired Bulletins and Technical Assistance Advisories.

The retired Bulletins and TAAs can be accessed through the Archives link at the bottom of this page
