The invoice will contain information regarding the obligation incurred, the amount owed, and payment procedures. A facility will not be registered as an outsourcing facility until it has paid the annual establishment fee under section 744K of the FD&C Act. Accordingly, it is important that facilities seeking to operate as outsourcing facilities pay all fees immediately upon receiving an invoice. If an entity does not pay the full invoiced amount within 15 calendar days after FDA issues the invoice, FDA will consider the submission of registration information to have been withdrawn and adjust the invoice to reflect that no fee is due. Outsourcing facilities that registered in FY 2016 and wish to maintain their status as an outsourcing facility in FY 2017 must register during the annual registration period that lasts from October 1, 2016, to December 31, 2016. Failure to register and complete payment by December 31, 2016, will result in a loss of status as an outsourcing facility on January 1, 2017. Entities should submit their registration information no later than December 10, 2016, to allow enough time for review of the registration information, invoicing, and payment of fees before the end of the registration period. Payments can be mailed to: Food and Drug Administration, P.O. Box 979033, St. Louis, MO 63197–9000.
