SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. Designated New Animal Drugs for Minor Use and Minor Species; (OMB Control Number 0910–0605)—Extension The Minor Use and Minor Species (MUMS) Animal Health Act of 2004 amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 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, PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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), § 516.20 provides requirements on the content and format of a request for MUMS-drug designation, § 516.26 provides requirements for amending MUMS-drug designation, § 516.27 provides provisions for change in sponsorship of MUMS-drug designation, § 516.29 provides provisions for termination of MUMS-drug designation, § 516.30 provides requirements for annual reports from sponsor(s) of MUMS-designated drugs, and § 516.36 provides provisions for insufficient quantities of MUMS-designated drugs. Respondents are pharmaceutical companies that sponsor new animal drugs. In the Federal Register of July 20, 2010 (75 FR 42094), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. In response, FDA received E:\FR\FM\28SEN1.SGM 28SEN1 59722 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 187 / Tuesday, September 28, 2010 / Notices one comment that was not responsive to the comment request on the information collection provision.

DATES: Preparing a Claim of Categorical Exclusion or an Environmental Assessment for Submission to the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (OMB Control Number 0910– 0541)—Extension As an integral part of its decisionmaking process, FDA is obligated under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) to consider the environmental impact of its actions, including allowing notifications for food contact substances to become effective and approving food additive petitions, color additive petitions and GRAS petition requests for PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 exemption from regulation as a food additive, and actions on certain food labeling citizen petitions, nutrient content claims petitions, and health claims petitions. In 1997, FDA amended its regulations in part 25 (21 CFR part 25) to provide for categorical exclusions for additional classes of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment (62 FR 40570, July 29, 1997). As a result of that rulemaking, FDA no longer routinely requires submission of information about the manufacturing and production of FDAregulated articles. FDA also has eliminated the previously required Environmental Assessment (EA) and abbreviated EA formats from the amended regulations. Instead, FDA has provided guidance that contains sample formats to help industry submit a claim of categorical exclusion or an EA to FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN). The guidance document entitled ‘‘Preparing a Claim of Categorical Exclusion or an Environmental Assessment for Submission to the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition’’ identifies, interprets, and clarifies existing requirements imposed by statute and regulation, consistent with the Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR 1507.3). It consists of recommendations that do not themselves create requirements; rather, they are explanatory guidance for FDA’s own procedures in order to ensure full compliance with the purposes and provisions of NEPA. The guidance provides information to assist in the preparation of claims of categorical exclusion and EAs for submission to CFSAN. The following E:\FR\FM\28SEN1.SGM 28SEN1

Designated New Animal Drugs for Minor Use and Minor Species; (OMB 
Control Number 0910-0605)--Extension

    The Minor Use and Minor Species (MUMS) Animal Health Act of 2004 
amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 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.
    In the Federal Register of July 20, 2010 (75 FR 42094), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. In response, FDA received

one comment that was not responsive to the comment request on the 
information collection provision.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

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