REPORTING DATA TO FDA FOR FDA REGULATED MERCHANDISE RELEASED THROUGH
LINE RELEASE.

ABI FILERS, WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE CUSTOMS FDA ELECTRONIC INTERFACE AT
LAND BORDER PORTS, MUST REPORT FDA INFORMATION FOR FDA REGULATED MER-
CHANDISE RELEASED THROUGH LINE RELEASE AS PART OF THE ELECTRONIC TRAN-
MISSION OF THE ENTRY SUMMARY. THE AUTOMATED REQUIREMENT TO REPORT THIS
INFORMATION WILL BE SET AT THE PORT 10 WORKING DAYS AFTER CUSTOMS FDA
ELECTRONIC INTERFACE HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED. THIS WILL PRECLUDE THE NEED
FOR AUTOMATED FILERS PARTICIPATING IN THE CUSTOMS FDA INTERFACE FROM
HAVING TO REPORT FDA DATA FOR MERCHANDISE RELEASED THROUGH LINE RELEASE
PRIOR TO IMPLEMENTATION. ONCE THE FDA LINE RELEASE ENTRY SUMMARY RE-
PORTING SWITCH HAS BEEN SET AT A GIVEN PORT, ALL FILERS MUST REPORT THE
REQUIRED FDA DATA ON THE ELECTRONIC CF7501 (APPLICATION CODE EI).

BELOW IS A LIST OF LAND BORDER PORTS, THEIR FDA IMPLEMENTATION DATE,
AND THE DATES FOR WHICH THE LINE RELEASE ENTRY SUMMARY EDIT WILL BE
