On September 5, 2013, ITL released Revision 2 of FIPS 201 (FIPS 201-2), Personal Identity Verification of Federal Employees and Contractors. The revision includes adaptations to changes in the environment and new technology since the first revision of the standard. FIPS 201-2 also provides clarifications to existing text, additional text to remove ambiguities, and specific changes requested by federal agencies and implementers. The updated standard will not require anyone to replace their current PIV card, but will make the new cards, based on the revised specification, more flexible and effective.
