FDA's MARCS/OASIS Will Be Down for Maintenance on Dec 3

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued a CSMS message announcing that the Food and Drug Administration's MARCS/OASIS import system will be down for maintenance on Saturday December 3, 2011, starting at approximately 2:30 a.m., and is not anticipated to be back up until 11:30 a.m. EST. As a result, FDA will be operating under the Prior Notice scenario 2 contingency. During the periods when OASIS/MARCS is down ACS, PNSI and the link between ACS and OASIS will be 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.
