Question:
Would you please direct me to the form that is needed to apply for a FIPS code? It is not easy to find, in Publication 201, any reference to it. Thank you
Answer:
There is no "FIPS code". There is, however, the federal agency codes (as per SP 800-87) that are part of the FASC-N in the CHUID. This form is available at http://piv.nist.gov/800-87/
