Interface Control Document (ICD) Transfer Program (ITP)


The ITP is being phased out and replaced with the next generation interface for high-volume queriers and reporters, the Querying and Reporting XML Service (QRXS). The Data Banks will no longer develop enhancements to the ITP and will not develop additional ITP interface features for the Proactive Disclosure Service Prototype (PDS). ITP software vendors and users should begin planning to migrate to the QRXS. The QRXS offers numerous benefits over the legacy ITP.


  1. General ITP Information:
  2. ITP Client Resources:
  3. ITP File Format Specifications

    Submission and response file formats are defined in the ICDs. There are separate file formats for submitting each report type, queries, and Proactive Disclosure Service (PDS) transactions.

  4. ITP Mailing List Registration:

    The ITP file format is updated periodically by the Data Banks. It is strongly recommended that users join the ITP Mailing List to receive notice of updates. The Data Banks notify users on the ITP Mailing List at least one month in advance of an update to code lists. Users should expect code lists to be updated quarterly. Additional updates to the ITP file formats are required periodically. Users will be notified six months in advance of updates to the ITP file formats.

  5. ITP users are encouraged to use the sample response files to format their response data.
