SCN-RTR-NNR No Notification Requirements

FedRAMP Consolidated Rules (2026) 2026.10.13.01 against 2026.10.08.01
All changes in this version
unchanged SCN: Significant Change Notification

Title

No Notification Requirements

Control

Providers SHOULD NOT make formal Significant Change Notifications for routine recurring changes; this type of change is exempted from notification requirements.

Discussion

Activities that match the routine recurring significant change type are performed regularly and routinely by cloud service providers to address flaws or vulnerabilities, address incidents, and generally perform the typical maintenance and service delivery changes expected during day-to-day operations.
These changes leverage mature processes and capabilities to identify, mitigate, and remediate risks as part of the change. They are often entirely automated and may occur without human intervention, even though they have an impact on security of the service.
If the activity does not occur regularly and routinely then it cannot be a significant change of this type (e.g., replacing all physical firewalls to remediate a vulnerability is obviously not regular or routine).
