The original expiration date of a protective service alert (PSA) is 90 days past the date of the PSA approval. If a PSA is to remain active past this date, you can extend the expiration date. The system applies a new expiration date that is 90 days past the previous expiration date. The history displays each extension and reason. The system sends an email notification to the PSA originator 10 days before expiration of the PSA.
Once a PSA has expired, it cannot be extended. The Outcomes tab on the PSA record is disabled. You must create a new PSA record.

From the Home screen, click the Administration tab.
