Annual Report Filing
In order to renew and maintain an existing FDA Variance, an annual report must be submitted each year.
In this annual report, you will report the number of laser light show events you have produced in the 12-month period spanning from July 1 of the previous year through June 30 of the current year. This number of Laser Light Shows can be acquired from your record of laser safety checklists.
Annual reports for the previous year can begin to be submitted on July 1st and must be submitted before September 1st.
FAQ
I forgot to file my annual report and missed the september 1st deadline. What do I do now?
While not ideal, use the form below to submit the annual report as soon as possible.
I used to have an existing variance but never filled out an annual report and has expired. Do I need a new variance?
You do not need a new variance, applying for a new one will only appear as a duplicate variance application. Use the form below to submit an annual report for the missing years and you will once again be in good standing.
Where can I find the laser safety checklist?
Please see the resources section on our laser show safety page: https://pangolin.com/pages/laser-show-safety?_pos=1&_sid=08f413a6a&_ss=r
Don't I need to fill out and submit form 3636 for an annual report?
