The report discusses both the 1968 (FIPS PUB 21) and 1974 (FIPS PUB 21-1) COBOL Standards, the Federal Property Management Regulations regarding the implementation of FIPS PUB 21-1 as a Federal Standard, and the requirement of COBOL compiler validation in the procurement process. It also contains a list of all software products produced by the software Development Division in support of the FCCTS as well as the Validation Summary Reports produced as a result of discharging the responsibility delegated by the NBS-DOD agreement. Note that the FCCTS should be contacted to receive the latest information regarding software products and VSR. (Author)
