FDA Industry Systems (FIS) was created to facilitate making submissions to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including registrations, listings, and other notifications. FIS has been available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, since October 16, 2003 6:00 p.m. EDT.
FIS was created, in part, in response to the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, which gave high priority to improved information management to help protect the food supply.
