FDA also requested information on the impact of menthol on the neurobiology of tobacco dependence and information on dose-related interactions between menthol and nicotine, including on the uptake and metabolism of nicotine and on various consumer perceptions of the product. Activity No. of Respondents wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1 Submission of Menthol Documents Annual Frequency per Response 116 The capital costs associated with this collection pertain to the postage for mailing documents in electronic format. Estimating these costs is problematic because the costs would vary depending on the size of the document production (e.g. one binder of documents vs. numerous boxes of paper) and the media type (e.g., compact disk (CD) or digital video disk (DVD)) chosen to submit documents. Currently, we cannot identify how many documents will be submitted per response. Some sample postage costs are shown for different types of packages: • 10 CDs in a flat envelope weighing 30 ounces: Approximately $8 using first class business mail, • Five-pound parcel containing paper documents: Approximately $12 using business parcel post mail and delivering to the furthest delivery zone, • Ten-pound parcel containing paper documents: Approximately $17 using business parcel mail and delivering to the furthest delivery zone, and • Fifty-pound parcel containing paper documents: Approximately $52 using business parcel post mail and delivering to the furthest delivery zone. This estimate is based upon: (1) Ninety three submissions (80% of 116 submissions) being submitted by mailing an average of 10 CDs per envelope (93 x $8 = $744) and (2) Twenty three submissions (20% of the 116 submissions) being submitted by mailing a package of paper documents weighing an average of 50 pounds (23 x $52 = $1,196.) Therefore, we estimate the total capital costs associated with this document submission to be $1,940. Dated: July 13, 2010. Leslie Kux, Acting Assistant Commissioner for Policy.

This legislation provides incentives designed to help pharmaceutical companies overcome the financial burdens they face in providing limited-demand animal drugs. These incentives are only available to sponsors whose drugs are ‘‘MUMS-designated’’ by FDA. 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 either because they occur infrequently or in limited geographic areas. Minor species are all animals other than the 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 honeybees. Participation in the MUMS program is completely optional for drug sponsors so the associated paperwork only applies to those sponsors who request and are subsequently granted ‘‘MUMS designation.’’ The rule specifies the criteria and procedures for requesting MUMS designation as well as the annual reporting requirements for MUMS designees.

Designated New Animal Drugs for Minor Use and Minor Species--21 CFR 
Part 516 (OMB Control No. 0910-0605)--Extension

    The Minor Use and Minor Species (MUMS) Animal Health Act of 2004 
amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) to authorize 
FDA to establish new regulatory procedures intended to make more 
medications legally available to veterinarians and animal owners for 
the treatment of minor animal species as well as uncommon diseases in 
major animal species. This legislation provides incentives designed to 
help pharmaceutical companies overcome the financial burdens they face 
in providing limited-demand animal drugs. These incentives are only 
available to sponsors whose drugs are ``MUMS-designated'' by FDA. 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 either because they occur 
infrequently or in limited geographic areas. Minor species are all 
animals other than the 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 honeybees. Participation in the MUMS 
program is completely optional for drug sponsors so the associated 
paperwork only applies to those sponsors who request and are 
subsequently granted ``MUMS designation.'' The rule specifies the 
criteria and procedures for requesting MUMS designation as well as the 
annual reporting requirements for MUMS designees.
    Under part 516 (21 CFR part 516), Sec.  516.20 provides 
requirements on the content and format of a request for MUMS-drug 
designation, Sec.  516.26 provides requirements for amending MUMS-drug 
designation, Sec.  516.27 provides provisions for change in sponsorship 
of MUMS-drug designation, Sec.  516.29 provides provisions for 
termination of MUMS-drug designation, Sec.  516.30 provides 
requirements for annual reports from sponsor(s) of MUMS-designated 
drugs, and Sec.  516.36 provides provisions for insufficient quantities 
of MUMS-designated drugs. Respondents are pharmaceutical companies that 
sponsor new animal drugs.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    The burden estimate for this reporting requirement was derived in 
FDA's Office of Minor Use and Minor Species Animal Drug Development by 
extrapolating the current investigational new animal drug (INAD) and 
new animal drug (NAD) reporting requirements for similar actions by 
this same segment of the regulated industry and from previous 
interactions with the minor use/minor species community.
