On April 2, 1999, NIC was informed that it has been granted Level II Year 2000 certification as defined by the Chief of Naval Operations. NIC anticipates full capability to produce its products in the year 2000. NICs Production Process All of the computer hardware critical to NIC product production is Y2K compliant or is scheduled for eventual retirement. Two software packages used in our production process are not certified by their vendors as Y2K compliant. The NIC Information Technology staff has fully tested these applications in a Y2K environment (with Y2K test data where possible). These tests were successful and indicate that the manner in which the NIC uses these applications is not vulnerable to any potential Y2K issues. Vendor certified versions of these applications should be implemented operationally by June 1999. Product Dissemination All computer hardware, software, and communications equipment used to disseminate products to our customers has been certified as Y2K compliant. The NIC will not change its file naming convention. Both .GIF files and digital data files in .e00 format have dates that are coded in the file names in this format: YYMMDD where YY = year produced. Files created in the first year of the new millenium will have 00 in the YY field. All products are considered Y2K compliant. Please do not hesitate to contact the Web Master with any questions or concerns about NICs Y2K status.
