These documents can be found at  GPS Technical References (uscg.gov)  and at   https://www.gps.gov/technical//#current 

Past versions of these documents are archived at  GPS Technical References (uscg.gov)  and at  https://www.gps.gov/technical/icwg/old-versions/  where changes (Interface Revision Notices  (IRN)) incorporated into the new documents also can be found. 

The Space Force is soliciting public comments on the following Proposed Change Notices (PCNs).

• Proposed Changes to IS-GPS-705G (44 KB PDF)
• Proposed Changes to IS-GPS-800G (31 KB PDF)

While these PCNs use the August 2020 versions of the ICDs as baseline documents, any approved changes will be incorporated by the next document revisions. Comments are due August 24, 2021

SMC has also announced the date of the next Public Interface Control Working Group meeting.  Full details will be provided in an upcoming Federal Register Notice but advance notice can be found at https://www.gps.gov/technical/icwg/meetings/2021/
