This message is to provide clarity around when the functionality for obtaining a Prior Notice Confirmation Number for FDA PNSI submissions which will be transitioned to ACE on July 23rd, 2016.



There are currently three ways to obtain a Prior Notice Confirmation Number:

1. FDA’s Prior Notice System Interface (PNSI) (http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/ImportsExports/Importing/ucm2006836.htm

2. The Automated Commercial System (ACS) – the WP function

3. The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) – the PE functionally



Filers can transmit in BOTH ACS and ACE until July 23rd, 2016. Following that date, ACE and the FDA PNSI will be the only systems available to provide a Prior Notice Confirmation Number. The ACS functionality will completely transition to ACE on July 23rd, 2016.
