Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an overall increase of 17 hours and a corresponding increase of 213 responses. We attribute this adjustment to the reauthorizations of both the Animal Drug User Fee Act and the Animal Generic Drug User Fee Act, which require sponsors to submit information electronically to CVM’s Office of New Animal Drug Evaluation. Because of this requirement, sponsors are now registering to use the CVM ESS in greater numbers than in previous years.
