# OB-IF-013 — TPPs kept informed during an outage

> During unplanned unavailability, the ASPSP promptly tells TPPs what it is doing to restore the interface and how long it expects the fix to take, and ensures an optimal recovery time.

- Article: PSR 38(2a)
- Who is bound: ASPSP
- Who it is for: Operations
- Application: 21 months after entry into force, the general application date (Article 112).
- Level 2: RTS under Article PSR 38(5), draft due at T + 9 months.
- Origin: RTS 2018/389, Art. 33(2)

Provisional numbering of the April 2026 compromise (Council doc. 8221/26). The final numbering will be added when the Official Journal publishes the text, without changing the id.

## STET 1.6.3: Out of spec

STET has nothing for signalling an outage to TPPs. The recovery time will be set by the Article 38(5) RTS.
