Receive the Service Requisition Form (SRF) and MyCEL Module Information Form from the Vendor. Assess the Vendor readiness, cryptographic module information, availability of the evidence/documentation, identify the scope of the validation, and MyCEL readiness. This is to ensure that each project has a sound base and that the testing and validation have a reasonable chance of completion. This phase is the commencement of each testing and validation project within MyCEL.

• Receive the Service Requisition
• Conduct Project Scoring Assessment
• Prepare Application Acceptance & Project Code
• Report Application Rejection
