Certain information that submitted as
part of a New Animal Drug Application (NADA) must include safety
and effectiveness data, proposed labeling, product manufacturing
information, and where necessary, complete information on food
safety (including microbial food safety) and any methods used to
determine residues of new animal drugs in edible tissues from food
producing animals.
Although the number of
respondents has increased (an adjustment from 154 to 169 due to
natural increases in the animal drug industry) the overall burden
has reduced from 33,146 to 28,218 because we have determined that
it takes less time to complete the form due to electronic
capability.
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.
