Electronic Submission; Data Standards; Support for Geopolitical Entities, Names, and Codes
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the adoption of the current version of the Geopolitical Entities, Names, and Codes (GENC) Standard on December 17, 2020. The GENC Standard is the U.S. Government profile of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 3166 "Codes for the Representation of Names of Countries and Their Subdivisions." It specifies an authoritative set of country codes and names for use by the U.S. Government for information exchange, using ISO 3166 names and code elements wherever possible, with modifications only when necessary to comply with U.S. law and U.S. Government recognition policy. Adopting the GENC Standard will enable FDA to be in conformance with U.S. Government naming and recognition policies. You may submit comments at any time regarding the appropriateness or timing of FDA's adoption of the GENC Standard.
