DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments on the collection of information by January 31, 2011. ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information to https://www.regulations. gov. Submit written comments on the collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Johnny Vilela, Office of Information Management, Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., PI50– 400B, Rockville, MD 20850, 301–796– 7651, Juanmanuel.Vilela@fda.hhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. 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 follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Number of respondents 21 CFR Section Annual frequency per response Total annual responses Hours per response Total hours 740(d)(1)(A) Significant barrier to innovation ...................... 740(d)(1)(B) Fees exceed cost ........................................... 740(d)(1)(C) Free choice feeds .......................................... 740(d)(1)(D) Minor use or minor species ........................... 740(d)(1)(E) Small business ...............................................

Based on FDA’s database system, there are an estimated 250 sponsors of products 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 number of submission types received by FDA in fiscal year 2008. Dated: November 24, 2010. Leslie Kux, Acting Assistant Commissioner for Policy.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The inventions listed below are owned by an agency of the U.S. Government and are available for licensing in the U.S. in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 207 to achieve expeditious commercialization of results of Federally-funded research and development. Foreign patent applications are filed on selected inventions to extend market coverage for companies and may also be available for licensing. ADDRESSES: Licensing information and copies of the U.S. patent applications listed below may be obtained by writing to the indicated licensing contact at the Office of Technology Transfer, National Institutes of Health, 6011 Executive Boulevard, Suite 325, Rockville, Maryland 20852–3804; telephone: 301/ 496–7057; fax: 301/402–0220. A signed Confidential Disclosure Agreement will be required to receive copies of the patent applications. SUMMARY: Novel Compositions and Methods To Treat Glioblastoma and Other Cancers Description of Technology: There remains a significant unmet need for therapeutics to treating glioblastoma multiforme, a very aggressive type of brain tumor. Glioblastoma is difficult to treat with conventional surgery, chemical, and radiation therapies. With approximately 18,000 new glioblastoma cases in the U.S. each year, and a comparable market in Europe, the global market for such products forecast to be over $300 million. In light of the high unmet need in malignant astrocytoma and little in the way of pipeline competition, this indication represents a potential easy route to market for new drugs.
