Census urges filers to develop edits in their software to avoid these fatal errors.
Census reminds filers that an ITN is not generated when a fatal error is received. Census reminds filers that when a fatal error is received, the internal transaction number (ITN) is not generated. Without the ITN, the transaction is not in compliance with 15 CFR 30.64. Failing to correct fatal errors may subject a company to fines, seizures and/or penalties, or the revocation of its AES filing privileges for 60 days.
