The Federal Reserve issued SR 21-11 to direct supervised institutions to adopt the newly published FFIEC Architecture, Infrastructure, and Operations (AIO) booklet. This new handbook replaces the 2004 Operations Booklet and establishes enterprise-wide principles for IT design, infrastructure implementation, and service delivery to ensure safety, soundness, and regulatory compliance. Reserve Banks are instructed to distribute this guidance to all supervised organizations and appropriate supervisory staff within their districts.
