TO: ABI FILERS USING THE FDA INTERFACE
FDA'S OASIS/EEPS PROCESSING SYSTEM HAS BEEN DOWN SINCE APPROXIMATELY
7:30 PM EDT, MAY 13, 1997. ALTHOUGH FDA IS WORKING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM
, THEY ARE UNABLE TO GIVE A DEFINITE TIME WHEN THE SYSTEM WILL AGAIN
BECOME OPERATIONAL. FILERS WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THE RESULTS OF ACS
SELECTIVITY SCREENING, HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE NO RESPONSE TO FEI QUERIES
NOR ANY ABI RESPONSES FROM FDA ON FDA REVIEW OR OTHER PROCESSING
ACTIVITIES. THIS OUTAGE DOES NOT AFFECT ENTRIES THAT RECEIVE SCREENING
MAY PROCEEDS OR ENTRIES THAT ARE DISCLAIMED.
PLEASE FOLLOW LOCAL FDA PROCEDURES FOR MANUAL PROCESSING OF FDA
REVIEW ENTRIES. IN GENERAL THIS REQUIRES YOU SEND PAPER DOCUMENTS
TO THE RESPONSIBLE FDA DISTRICT OFFICE FOR ANY ENTRIES NOT RECEIVING A
MAY PROCEED SELECTIVITY REPONSE. FILERS WHO NORMALLY ARE REQUIRED TO
FURNISH PAPER DOCUMENTS FOR ALL ENTRIES CONTAINING FDA DATA SHOULD
CONTINUE TO DO SO.
FDA IS MONITORING THE SITUATION CLOSELY AND IS DOING EVERYTHING
POSSIBLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND PATIENCE.
