Prior to the beginning of the biennial registration renewal (or “registration renewal”) period on
October 1, FDA intends to communicate with all registered facilities and U.S. agents for the
facilities notifying them of the upcoming registration renewal period. In these communications,
we plan to provide general information about the registration renewal process, including the
deadline for renewals. Once the renewal period begins, if a facility has not submitted a renewal,
we plan to continue to send communications reminding the facility of the upcoming deadline
through the end of the registration renewal period on December 31.
