Agency Emergency Processing Under Office of Management and Budget Review; Guidance for Industry : Animal Generic Drug User Fees and Fee Waivers and Reductions
New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
The Federal Food, drug and Cosmetic Act (the act) as amended by the Animal Generic Drug User Fee Act of 2008 (AGDUFA) signed by the President August 14, 2008 authorize FDA to collect user fees for certain: (1) Abbreviated applications for generic new animal drugs (2) new animal drug products and (3) sponsors of such abbreviated applications for generic new animal drugs and/or investigational submissions for new animal drugs. AGDUFA contains a specific provision under which a fee waiver or reduction may be requested for any or all of these fees. Under Section 741(d) of the Act, the Agency intends to waive or reduce sponsor and application fees only if the application provides exclusively for minor species or minor use indication. Further, the Agency intends to waive or reduce the product fee only if the animal drug product is exclusively labeled for a minor species or minor use indication.
The Animal Generic Drug User Fee Act of 2008(AGDUFA), enacted August 14, 2008, amends the Federal, Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and requires FDA to assess and collect user fees for certain generic applications, products, establishments and sponsors. It also requires the Agency to grant a waiver from or a reduction of fees in certain circunstances. However, FDA may not receive fee waiver and reduction requests for processing, and collect user until enactment of appropriation for these fees. The previous Federal Government appropriation by continuing resolution was in effect until March 6, 2009 and no appropriation had yet been made as to these fees. Subsquent to the March 6, 2009 date Congress has enacted appropriation for these fees so that to comply with the fee waiver and reduction provisions of ADFUFA, it is imperative that the collection of information requirements for the guidance developed by the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) be approved. OMB has approved justification for this request.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
