The adoption by USS of the new 14 digit registration number will require that all parties use the latest version whenever a valid USS registation number is required. Any athlete registering for the first time on or after September 1, 1998 will have this number and all athletes must have reregistered by January 1, 1999 -- at which time they will receive the new number. The prior 12-digit registration number will no longer be in use starting in 1999.
