Specifically, the draft guidance will describe: (1) The sponsor’s responsibility to collect the financial disclosure information prior to an investigator participating in a study and ensure that all required forms and attachments are submitted in marketing applications; (2) what is meant by ‘‘due diligence’’ in obtaining financial disclosures from investigators; and (3) how FDA will review financial disclosure information. The guidance will also seek comment on the circumstances under which FDA should consider public release of financial disclosure information related to an approved marketing application. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the Agency’s current thinking on this topic. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II.

These collections of information are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). The collections of information in part 54 and 21 CFR parts 312 and 812 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0396; OMB control number 0910–0014; and OMB control number 0910–0078. jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES III.

Expedited Review for New Animal Drug Applications for Human 
Pathogen Reduction Claims; Withdrawal of Guidance

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice; withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the 
withdrawal of a guidance that was issued on March 9, 2001.

DATES: May 24, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Steven Vaughn, Center for Veterinary 
Medicine (HFV-100), Food and Drug Administration, 7520 Standish Pl., 
Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-8300.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a notice published in the Federal 
Register of March 9, 2001 (66 FR 14155), FDA announced the availability 
of a guidance for industry 121 entitled ``Expedited Review for 
New Animal Drug Applications for Human Pathogen Reduction Claims.''
    The guidance predates the enactment of the Animal Drug User Fee Act 
(ADUFA) of 2003, which was reauthorized by Congress in 2008. ADUFA 
authorized FDA to collect fees for certain animal drug applications and 
for the establishments, products, and sponsors associated with these 
and previously approved animal drug applications, in support of the 
review of animal drug products. As a result of these increased 
resources, the efficiencies of our current administrative processes, 
including the phased review and end review amendment processes, we have 
significantly reduced our review timeframes and afford sponsors a more 
efficient pathway to regulatory approval.
    At the time the guidance was issued, FDA's review timeframes for 
new animal drug applications were considerably longer. As noted 
previously, significant changes have occurred in the Agency's processes 
and timeframes for reviewing new animal drug applications and the 
process for expedited review status contained in this guidance is 
outdated and no longer needed to assure the efficient review of these 
new animal drug applications.

    Dated: May 4, 2011.

Acting Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
