SUBJECT: OUTAGE IN FDA'S PRIOR NOTICE SYSTEM
ON JANUARY 25, 2006, THERE WAS AN OUTAGE BETWEEN FDA'S PNSI AND
OASIS. THE OUTAGE PREVENTED PRIOR NOTICE INFORMATION, INCLUDING PN
CONFIRMATION NUMBERS ISSUED VIA PNSI, FROM BEING SENT FROM PNSI TO
OASIS AND THEN ON TO ACS (ABI). THE OUTAGE HAS BEEN RESOLVED.
IMPACTED WERE:
1) ABI/ACS ENTRIES TRANSMITTED USING THE PNC AFFIRMATION OF COMPLIANCE
CODE ALONG WITH A PNSI ISSUED PN CONFIRMATION NUMBER ISSUED BETWEEN
APPROXIMATELY 9:00 AM ET UNTIL 3:30 PM ET TODAY. THIS PROBLEM
CAUSED THE ENTRIES TO BE REJECTED. THE OUTAGE WAS RESOLVED AND THE
BACKLOG OF TRANSMISSIONS TO ACS WILL BE COMPLETED NO LATER THAN 4:30
PM, EASTERN TIME. FILERS SHOULD RETRANSMIT ENTRIES REJECTED DUE TO
INVALID PN CONFIRMATION NUMBERS (PNSI-ISSUED ONLY) AFTER THAT TIME.
2) PN SUBMISSIONS FILED SOLELY VIA PNSI. CBP WAS PREVENTED FROM
SEEING ANY EVIDENCE OF PNSI PN TRANSMISSIONS. THAT BACKLOG SHOULD
ALSO BE RESOLVED BY 4:30PM, ET.
