CBP has issued a CSMS message announcing that FDA’s OASIS import system will experience intermittent outages for maintenance on December 4, 2010 starting at approximately 02:00 am (0200) through December 5, 2010 01:00 am (0100). Delays in data transmission during this maintenance period are not expected to last more than 20 minutes at a time, but may be experienced several times throughout the maintenance period indicated.

If necessary, FDA will operate under the Prior Notice Scenario 2 contingency. During this downtime ACS, PNSI and the link between ACS and OASIS are operational. However, 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. See CSMS message for details on procedures to be followed during the outages. Questions during downtime should be referred to FDA’s Prior Notice Center at (866) 521-2297.
