Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "universal service fund").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.(e.g. NTIA).

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., "FCC chairman" +Pai).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., FCC -Carr).

Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term (e.g. "satellite" instead of "satellites" or "impose" instead of "imposed").

The Food and Drug Administration seeks comments on its data requirements for imports and electronic entries as it submits them to the Office of Management and Budget for reapproval, FDA said in a notice. The agency seeks comments on the necessity of its ACE filing requirements, their burden on importers and exporters, and ways to improve the information collection. FDA is revising its OMB approval request to add information collected via its weekly entry filing program for foreign-trade zones, as well as information collected by way of the agency's Import Trade Auxiliary Communication System. Comments are due March 3.
