The paperwork process has been
streamlined for gaining approval to manufacture medicated feeds by
replacing the Medicated Feed Application system with a facility
license for each medicated feed manufacturing facility. The
information required from the medicated feed manufacturing facility
will be used to determine if a medicated feed mill license
application will be approved or refused.
Over the past three years, the
estimated annual number of responses decreased from 1,206 to 1,051
due to the natural fluctuation in the number of license
applications received each year. The decrease in these responses
resulted in a decrease in burden (an adjustment) from 70 hours to
58 (a difference of 12 hours).
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).
