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.'' It provides guidance on the 
types of fees FDA is authorized to collect under ADUFA, and on how to 
request waivers and reductions from FDA's animal drug user fees. The 
guidance also describes the types of fees and fee waivers and 
reductions, the information FDA recommends respondents submit in 
support of a request for a fee waiver or reduction, how respondents may 
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--application 
fees, product fees, establishment fees, or sponsor fees.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
