HHS/FDA RIN: 0910-AI75 Publication ID: Fall 2024 
Title: Prior Notice: Adding Requirement to Submit Mail Tracking Number for Articles of Food Arriving by International Mail and Timeframe for Post-refusal and Post-hold Submissions 
Abstract:

FDA is issuing this final rule to amend its prior notice regulations to add a requirement that the prior notice for articles of food arriving by international mail include the name of the mail service and a mail tracking number and add a requirement that prior notice and food facility registration information be submitted within a certain timeframe, after certain notices of refusal or hold have been issued ("post-refusal" and "post-hold" submission). The rule will also finalize certain technical changes, including those that reflect expanded capabilities of the Automated Broker Interface/Automated Commercial Environment/International Trade Data System (ABI/ACE/ITDS) and the Prior Notice Systems Interface (PNSI). These amendments will improve program efficiency and better enable FDA to protect the U.S. food supply and public health.
