This information collection reflects adjustments since last OMB approval. We attribute the increase in reporting, recordkeeping, and cost burden to the significant increase in the number of VFD distributors that have transitioned new animal drugs from over-the-counter to VFD marketing status. This is a result of VFD regulations that were implemented by a rule that published in 2015. Not all distributors transitioned right away. As a result, we believe that the numbers are now a better representation of the distributors. We have since decreased the number of new distributors required to submit first-time notifications. We have also since increased the number of respondents submitting updated notifications for business changes due to the higher number of VFD distributors subject to VFD reporting requirements since the previous collection. Because we attribute the increased number to the information collection, we have increased our estimate of the associated burden accordingly. The information collection, therefore, reflects a cumulative increase in burden by 4,502,029 annual responses and 69,148 burden hours.
