The CSO will coordinate the assignment of new ORI numbers, the change in ORI location or <br /> address, and any other changes, cancellations, or retirements of ORIs accessing <br /> WACIC/NCIC. The assignment of an ORI to an agency is not a guarantee of access to the <br /> state and federal systems.The CSA makes the final determination of who may access <br /> WACIC/NCIC based on the standards provided by the CJIS Security Policy and <br /> determination of an agency's administration of criminal justice.Any requests for additional <br /> ORIs by an agency will be forwarded to the ACCESS Section, who will conduct a short audit <br /> of the agency to verify compliance standards are being met. See the ACCESS Operations <br /> Manual Introduction for more information. <br /> III.
