Beginning February 15, 2018, the syntax for FDA FEI's submitted in with the entity information in the PG19 record will change from 4-10N to 1-10N. This change accommodates FEI numbers that are less than 4 digits.
Also, in addition to the units of measure for tobacco in FDA's Supplemental Guide, several additional units of measure will be accepted for tobacco products. Please refer to the attachment for the additional units of measure and associated codes.
Both changes will be included in the next version of the FDA Supplemental Guide. Software vendors can contact FDA ACE Support for the updated units of measure in Excel.
Please contact FDA ACE Support from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern, seven days a week at ACE_Support@fda.hhs.gov or 877-345-1101 (domestic toll-free) or 571-620-7320 (local/international) for ACE questions.
