This request collects information regarding animal drug applications or supplemental animal drug applications to the Food and Drug Administration. Respondents are sponsors of animal drugs who are asked to provide information required by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in support of their application. The information is used to initiate application review and to determine applicable user fees.
US Code:
21 USC 379h
Name of Law: Authority to assess and use drug fees
There is a decrease in the number of respondents since our last approval. This is due to a smaller number of applications in the past three years. Our previous estimate of an average of 76 submissions annually appears to have been incorrect, while we believe our current estimate more accurately reflects the current burden and may be attributed to the streamlining of agency tracking resources and improved database management.
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.
