APHIS Reminds Permit Holders to Switch to eFile Before Legacy System Decommissioned

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service reminded APHIS permit holders June 26 that, if their permit was issued in the agency’s legacy ePermits system, they must “apply and establish an account in APHIS eFile to continue working with regulated materials” after ePermits is decommissioned in 2024. “Submit your new application in APHIS eFile as soon as possible to avoid delays,” the agency said. Data from ePermits “will not be transferred to APHIS eFile,” so the permit holder “will need to apply for a new permit in APHIS eFile.” No action is necessary for permits that were issued in APHIS eFile, APHIS said.
