2. Keep a copy of this cable for reference until you have verified that Appendix C reciprocity tables on the Intranet have been updated. It may take up to one week for the change to appear on the Intranet. Posts are reminded that the reciprocity schedules shown in Appendix C on the

Intranet (http://caweb/ReciprocityWeb/index.htm) reflect the most up-to-date departmental guidance.

3. Posts should also update the CST country reciprocity table and the Automated Cash Register System (ACRS) reciprocity fee tables. Those posts that have been replicated for CST outward from the Department will see that this change to the CST table has already been made. However, should replicated posts notice that changes have not been made, or if the schedule contains errors, please notify CA/VO/L/R.

4. Minimize considered.
