FDA Makes Minor Changes to Prior Notice Regulations

The Food and Drug Administration is making "technical amendments" to its regulations on prior notice for imported food, it said (here). Changes include replacing references to the legacy Automated Commercial System with references to ACE, correcting inaccurate number designations of headings in the regulations, and changing an office’s name. The final rule also removes an outdated provision that prior notices for certain refused imports be submitted via FDA’s system rather than ACE. The final rule takes effect March 30.
