Minor use drugs are drugs for use in major species (cattle, horses, swine, chickens, turkeys, dogs, and cats) that are needed for diseases that occur in only a small number of animals annually either because they occur infrequently or in limited geographic areas. Minor species are all animals other than humans that are not major species, for example, zoo animals, ornamental fish, parrots, ferrets, and guinea pigs. Some animals of agricultural importance are also minor species. These include animals such as sheep, goats, catfish, and honey bees. Participation in the MUMS program is optional for drug sponsors so the associated paperwork only applies to those sponsors who request and are subsequently granted ââMUMS designation.ââ The rule specifies the criteria and procedures for requesting MUMS designation as well as the annual reporting requirements for MUMS designees.

The information collection reflects an overall adjustment decrease of 88 responses and 1,086 burden hours. The number of respondents for new designation requests decreased (from 15 to 5 respondents) due to changes in industry, while the number of respondents for annual reports increased (from 15 to 26 respondents), due to an increase in the number of sponsors holding active MUMS designations since the last renewal of this collection. We also decreased the number of responses per respondent for both the new designation request and the annual report (from 5 to 2), based on our experience over the last 3 years.
