Electronic Submissions

The Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) has developed and implemented methods to accept electronic files as legal, original submissions for review. This electronic submission process was made possible by the publication of FDA's Final Rule on Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures (21 CFR 11) in March 1997, which set the standards for Electronic Records for FDA and its regulated industries.

The current list of submissions acceptable in electronic format is available on the Agency Electronic Submissions Dockets. Guidances and forms for all acceptable submission types are available in Fill-in PDF Forms which communicate with the Center's tracking database and process the submissions into the Center for review automatically. The PDF forms have been upgraded for Adobe® 8.0 and are compatible with Adobe® Acrobat® 6.0 and later. 

Compliance information on Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures is available from the Office of Regulatory Affairs Compliance Reference Title 21 CFR Part 11 - Electronic Records/Signatures page. This site includes links to information for Agency compliance initiatives and current activity.

Questions concerning Electronic Submissions to CVM should be addressed to HFV-016 at (240) 276-9143.
