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 PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. FDA Form 3728, Animal Generic Drug User Fee Act Cover Sheet—21 U.S.C. 379j–21 (OMB Control Number 0910– 0632)—Extension Section 741 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 379j–21) establishes three different kinds of user fees: (1) Fees for certain types of abbreviated applications for generic new animal drugs, (2) annual fees for certain generic new animal drug products, and (3) annual fees for certain sponsors of abbreviated applications for generic new animal drugs and/or investigational submissions for generic new animal drugs (21 U.S.C. 379j– 21(a)). Because the submission of user fees concurrent with applications is required, the review of an application cannot begin until the fee is submitted. FDA Form 3728 is the AGDUFA Cover Sheet, which is designed to provide the minimum necessary information to determine whether a fee is required for review of an application, to determine the amount of the fee required, and to account for and track user fees. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: E:\FR\FM\05OCN1.SGM 05OCN1 61710 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 193 / Wednesday, October 5, 2011 / Notices TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 FDA Form No. Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours FDA Form 3728 ................................................................... 20 2 40 .08 3.2 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

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. Requirements for Submission of Bioequivalence Data—21 CFR Parts 314 and 320—(OMB Control Number 0910– 0630)—Extension In the Federal Register of January 16, 2009 (74 FR 2849), the Agency published a final rule revising FDA regulations to require applicants to submit data on all bioequivalence (BE) studies, including studies that do not meet passing BE criteria, which are performed on a drug product formulation submitted for approval under an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA), or in an amendment to an ANDA that contains BE studies. In the final rule, FDA amended §§ 314.94(a)(7)(i), 314.96(a)(1), 314.97, and 320.21(b)(1), to require an ANDA applicant to submit information from all BE studies, both passing and nonpassing, conducted by the applicant on the same drug product formulation as that submitted for approval under an ANDA, amendment, or supplement. In table 1 of this document, FDA has estimated the reporting burden associated with each section of the rule. FDA believes that the majority of additional BE studies will be reported in ANDAs (submitted under § 314.94), rather than supplements (reported in § 314.97), because it is unlikely than an ANDA holder will conduct BE studies with a drug after the drug has been approved. With respect to the reporting of additional BE studies in amendments (submitted under § 314.96), this should also account for a small number of reports, because most BE studies will be conducted on a drug prior to the submission of the ANDA, and will be reported in the ANDA itself. FDA estimates it will require approximately 120 hours of staff time to prepare and submit each additional complete BE study report, and approximately 60 hours of staff time for each additional BE summary report. The Agency believes that a complete report will be required approximately 20 percent of the time, while a summary will suffice approximately 80 percent of the time. Based on a weighted-average calculation using the information presented above, the submission of each additional BE study is expected to take 72 hours of staff time ([120 × 0.2] + [60 × 0.8]). In the Federal Register of June 10, 2011 (76 FR 34081), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent 314.94(a)(7) ......................................................................... 314.96(a)(1) ......................................................................... 314.97 .................................................................................. 49 1 1 1 1 1 49 1 1 72 72 72 3,528 72 72 Total .............................................................................. ........................ ........................ ........................ ........................ 3,672 mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 21 CFR Section 1 There Total annual responses are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

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.

FDA Form 3728, Animal Generic Drug User Fee Act Cover Sheet--21 U.S.C. 
379j-21 (OMB Control Number 0910-0632)--Extension

    Section 741 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) 
(21 U.S.C. 379j-21) establishes three different kinds of user fees: (1) 
Fees for certain types of abbreviated applications for generic new 
animal drugs, (2) annual fees for certain generic new animal drug 
products, and (3) annual fees for certain sponsors of abbreviated 
applications for generic new animal drugs and/or investigational 
submissions for generic new animal drugs (21 U.S.C. 379j-21(a)). 
Because the submission of user fees concurrent with applications is 
required, the review of an application cannot begin until the fee is 
submitted. FDA Form 3728 is the AGDUFA Cover Sheet, which is designed 
to provide the minimum necessary information to determine whether a fee 
is required for review of an application, to determine the amount of 
the fee required, and to account for and track user fees. FDA estimates 
the burden of this collection of information as follows:
