Abstract: This final rule implements section 573 of the Minor Use and Minor Species ( MUMS) Animal Health Act of 2004. The MUMS Act establishes new regulatory procedures intended to make more medications legally available to veterinarians and animal owners for the treatment of minor animal species as well as uncommon diseases in major animal species. This legislation provides incentives designed to help pharmaceutical companies overcome the financial burdens they face in providing liminted - demand animal drugs. These incentives are only available to sponsors whose drugs are " MUMS - designated" by the FDA. Participation in the MUMS program is completely optional for drug sponsors. This final rule specifies the criteria and procedures for requesting MUMS designation as well as the annual reporting requirements for MUMS designee.
