CG-IEIK-001 Issue 4-August 1, 2005

When the information is input into the IMSAG database, from MSAG Ledger Forms, an interim MSAG Printout is available to provide to the City / County / Parish for verification. The corrections should be marked directly on the printout. After the changes / corrections are input into the IMSAG database by BST, another print may be requested. The last IMSAG print created prior to the cut date is approved and signed by the customer and returned to BST for retention.

The City / County / Parish will:

• Become familiar with the standard thoroughfare designations and abbreviations.
• Verify spelling of each street name, community name, ranges, and ESNs.
• Verify directionals for accuracy.
• Mark corrections directly on the IMSAG.
• Return print to the ICO by the date agreed upon.

At this time, the ICO will:

• Review the print.
• Negotiate any necessary changes / corrections with the City / County / Parish.
• Forward print to BST for input to database.
• Continue this process until the city / county / parish is satisfied and has signed off on the print, prior to the cut date.

Prints of the IMSAG may be obtained, as needed, for each ICO in the City / County / Parish during the conversion period. A single MSAG print may be obtained, either monthly or quarterly, after the system is live. Requests for IMSAG should be directed to the AFIG. Request for an MSAG should be directed to INTRADO. An example of an IMSAG printout follows:
