This information
collection remains a targeted for fast track inclusio in Customs'
Paperless Entry Project. FDA's interface with this system continues
to experience implementation delays. Upon the next submission of
this information collection, OMB requests that FDA provide an
update on the status of the implementation of the paperless system
and any outstanding difficulties. Most importantly, FDA should
report on the results of the Seattle/El Paso pilots now scheduled
for 1992 and the status of expanding the pilots nationwide.
