Several of FDA’s import systems, including OASIS, PREDICT and ITACS, will be down for major system upgrades on Saturday, May 9, 2015, starting at approximately 1:00 am EDT (0100) and are not anticipated to be back up until Sunday, May 10, 2015, at 1:00 am EDT (0100). As a result, FDA will be operating under the Prior Notice Contingency – Scenario 2.
During this downtime ACS/ACE, PNSI and the link between ACS/ACE and OASIS will be operational, but OASIS will be non-operational. As a result, the OASIS downtime will prevent submitters who filed via ABI from receiving prior notice confirmation and would prevent CBP from auto-checking the prior notice confirmation for ABI filers. If prior notice has not already been submitted, ABI filers may decide to wait out the OASIS downtime if they determine that the timeliness of prior notice will not be adversely affected.
Filers who choose this option should understand that they remain responsible under Section 801(m) of the Act and under the Prior Notice Final Rule for filing timely prior notice. ABI transmissions received by FDA during the downtime will be queued and processed once the maintenance is completed. Prior notice (PN) confirmation numbers will not be transmitted back to filers during the downtime.
