<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="e2ma-style"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#081C57">OPM will soon be implementing a series of major electrical power system improvements at its primary data center in Macon, GA that will
impact USAJOBS. These planned upgrades will have many positive benefits: increased efficiency, safety, capacity, and, most importantly, fully redundant emergency power operability to enable maximum uptime for applications and services hosted at the OPM Macon
Datacenter. Unfortunately, due to the high voltage involved and the cross connection of core components, these maintenance activities will require a full shutdown of all applications and services for the duration of the system upgrades, including USAJOBS.</span></span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#081C57"><br>

Tuesday, February 19<sup>th</sup>, 2019. USAJOBS will be unavailable during this downtime as well. We will confirm these dates as we approach the event.</span><br>
