Appendix G.    AS2 Header Attributes

In addition to tarring/gzipping the actual documents, AS2 submissions must include the following attributes in their AS2 headers. The additional information is comprised of:

FDA submissions Type

FdaSubmissionType: Abbreviated New Drug (add submission type information)

Center Name

FdaCenter: CDER (add Center information)

The Mime Headers are to be located in the outermost MIME wrapper and will appear as follows:

X-Cyclone-Metadata-FdaSubmissionType: Abbreviated New Drug

X-Cyclone-Metadata-FdaCenter: CDER

The following example represents how the standard AS2 mime header should appear after appending the Center and SubmissionType attributes and upon and presented at the FDA ESG.
