APHIS BRS Updates Pre-Application Questionnaire in APHIS eFile

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Biotechnology Regulatory Services (BRS) has launched an update Pre-Application Questionnaire that will replace the BRS Permitting Assistant in APHIS eFile.

 Applicants using APHIS eFile will experience:

  • An interface that leads applicants through a series of questions to determine if their application qualifies for a notification or if a permit is required;
  • A quick, direct path to apply for a permit when an applicant knows their application does not qualify for a notification; and
  • Links to additional support for submitting notification and permit applications.

To assist applicants with using the Pre-Application Questionnaire, BRS updated its "APHIS 2000 Permit Application and Compliance Reporting Job Aid" and training resources at APHIS eFile Training.
