SUBJECT: MARCH 16, 2004 FDA PROCESSING PROBLEMS
FDA'S OASIS SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WHICH ARE
PREVENTING PROCESSING OF ENTRY SUBMISSIONS FROM ABI, INCLUDING RETURN
OF PRIOR NOTICE (PN) CONFIRMATION NUMBERS. FILERS ARE REQUESTED TO
SUBMIT PRIOR NOTICE INFORMATION VIA FDA'S PRIOR NOTICE SYSTEM INTERFACE
(PNSI) AT:
HTTPS://WWW.ACCESS.FDA.GOV/OAA/ UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
FILERS SHOULD CONTINUE TO SUBMIT ENTRY DATA VIA ABI. WHEN THE
ENTRY IS FILED VIA ABI, PLEASE INCLUDE THE PN CONFIRMATION NUMBER
RECEIVED VIA PNSI, FOR EACH LINE REQUIRING PN DATA, USING A "PNC"
AFFIRMATION OF COMPLIANCE CODE. IF THIS AFFIRMATION IS SUBMITTED, NO
OTHER PN RELEATED DATA IS REQUIRED. ONCE OASIS IS RESTORED FDA WILL
PROCESS THE ENTRIES WHICH HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO ABI DURING THIS
DOWNTIME.
FOR PERISHABLE COMMODITIES OR AS DIRECTED BY YOUR LOCAL FDA OFFICE,
FILERS SHOULD SUBMIT PAPER DOCUMENTS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
CBP WILL ISSUE A FOLLOW-UP ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE WHEN THE OASIS
SYSTEM IS BACK UP AND FULLY OPERATIONAL
