ARC will notify which parties when Additional Operating Requirements are implemented?

• A. Only the agency
• B. Both the ARC accredited agency and the ARC participating carriers
• C. Only the ARC participating carriers
• D. The public

Answer: (B)

Additional Operating Requirements involve changes that affect how data is collected, reported, and settled within ARC’s network. Since these updates touch both the agencies that submit transactions and the carriers that participate in ARC’s settlement system, ARC notifies both sides so they can update their systems and procedures in sync. This coordinated notification helps ensure accurate data flow, proper settlement, and ongoing compliance. The public isn’t involved in these internal operational updates, and informing only one party would leave the other uninformed, risking processing issues.
