Animal Drug User Fees and Fee Waivers and Reductions (OMB Control Number 0910-0540)—Extension Enacted on November 18, 2003, the Animal Drug User Fee Act (ADUFA) (Pub. L. 108-130) amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and requires FDA to assess and collect user fees for certain applications, products, establishments, and sponsors. It also requires the Agency to grant a waiver from, or a reduction of those fees in certain circumstances. Thus, to implement this statutory provision of ADUFA, FDA developed a guidance entitled “Guidance for Industry: Animal Drug User Fees and Fee Waivers and Reductions.” This document provides guidance on the types of fees FDA is authorized to collect under ADUFA, and how to request waivers and reductions from FDA's animal drug user fees. Further, this guidance also describes the types of fees and fee waivers and reductions; what information FDA recommends be submitted in support of a request for a fee waiver or reduction; how to submit such a request; and FDA's process for reviewing requests. Respondents to this collection of information are new animal drug sponsors. Requests for waivers or reductions may be submitted by a person paying any of the animal drug user fees assessed including application fees, product fees, establishment fees, or sponsor fees. In the **Federal Register** of February 25, 2014 (79 FR 10532) FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received. FDA estimates the burden for this collection of information as follows: Table 1—Estimated Annual Reporting Burden 1 21 CFR section; activity Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours 740(d)(1)(A); significant barrier to innovation 45 1 time for each application 45 2 90 740(d)(1)(B); fees exceed cost 8 3.75 30 2 0.5 15 740(d)(1)(C); free choice feeds 5 1 time for each application 5 2 10 740(d)(1)(D); minor use or minor species 76 1 time for each application 76 2 152 740(d)(1)(E); small business 3 1 time for each application 3 2 6 Request for reconsideration of a decision 2 1 time for each application 2 2 4 Request for review—(user fee appeal officer) 0 1 time for each application 0 0 0 Total 277 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. 2 30 minutes. Based on FDA's database system, from fiscal years 2010 to 2012 there were an estimated 173 sponsors subject to ADUFA. However, not all sponsors will have any submissions in a given year and some may have multiple submissions. The total number of waiver requests is based on the average number of submission types received by FDA in fiscal years 2010 to 2012. Dated: May 12, 2014. Leslie Kux, Assistant Commissioner for Policy. [FR Doc. 2014-11322 Filed 5-15-14; 8:45 am]
