A Type A medicated article is a feed product containing a concentrated drug diluted with a feed carrier substance. A Type A medicated article is intended solely for use in the manufacture of another Type A medicated article or a Type B or Type C medicated feed. Medicated feeds are administered to animals for the prevention, cure, mitigation, or treatment of disease or for growth promotion and feed efficiency. Statutory requirements for cGMPs for Type A medicated articles have been codified in part 226 (21 CFR part 226). Type A medicated articles which are not manufactured in accordance with these regulations are considered adulterated under section 501(a)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B). Under part 226, a manufacturer is required to establish, maintain, and retain records for Type A medicated articles, including records to document procedures required under the manufacturing process to assure that proper quality control is maintained. Such records would, for example, contain information concerning receipt and inventory of drug components, batch production, laboratory assay results (i.e., batch and stability testing), and product distribution. This information is needed so that FDA can monitor drug usage and possible misformulation of Type A medicated articles. The information could also prove useful to FDA in investigating product defects when a drug is recalled. In addition, FDA will use the cGMP criteria in part 226 to determine whether or not the systems used by manufacturers of Type A medicated articles are adequate to assure that their medicated articles meet the requirements of the FD&C Act as to safety and also meet the article’s claimed identity, strength, quality, and purity, as required by section 501(a)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act. The respondents for Type A medicated articles are pharmaceutical firms that manufacture both human and veterinary drugs, those firms that produce only veterinary drugs, and commercial feed mills. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL RECORDKEEPING BURDEN 1 21 CFR Section Number of records per recordkeeper Number of recordkeepers Total annual records Average burden per recordkeeper Total hours 226.42 ................................... 226.58 ................................... 226.80 ................................... 226.102 ................................. 226.110 ................................. 226.115 ................................. 65 65 65 65 65 65 260 260 260 260 260 10 16,900 16,900 16,900 16,900 16,900 650 0.75 (45 minutes) .......................... 1.75 (1 hour, 45 minutes) ............. 0.75 (45 minutes ........................... 1.75 (1 hour, 45 minutes .............. 0.25 (15 minutes ........................... 0.5 (30 minutes) ............................ 12,675 29,575 12,675 29,575 4,225 325 Total .............................. ............................ ............................ ............................ ....................................................... 89,050 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection.

All comments should be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. SUMMARY: Data To Support Drug Product Communications as Used by the Food and Drug Administration—(OMB Control Number 0910–0695)—Extension Testing of communication messages in advance of a communication campaign provides an important role in improving FDA communications as they allow for an in-depth understanding of individuals’ attitudes, beliefs, motivations, and feelings. The methods to be employed include individual indepth interviews, general public focus group interviews, intercept interviews, self-administered surveys, gatekeeper surveys, and professional clinician focus group interviews. The methods to be used serve the narrowly defined need for direct and informal opinion on a specific topic and, as a qualitative research tool, have two major purposes: (1) To obtain information that is useful for developing variables and measures for formulating the basic objectives of risk communication campaigns; and (2) To assess the potential effectiveness of messages and materials in reaching and successfully communicating with their intended audiences. FDA will use these methods to test and refine its ideas and to help develop messages and other communications but will generally conduct further research before making important decisions, such as adopting new policies and allocating or redirecting significant resources to support these policies. FDA will use this mechanism to test messages about regulated drug products on a variety of subjects related to consumer, patient, or health care professional perceptions and about use of drug products and related materials, including but not limited to, direct-toconsumer prescription drug promotion, physician labeling of prescription drugs, Medication Guides, over-the-counter drug labeling, emerging risk communications, patient labeling, online sale of medical products, and consumer and professional education. Annually, FDA projects about 45 communication studies using the variety of test methods listed in this document. FDA is requesting this burden so as not to restrict the Agency’s ability to gather information on public sentiment for its proposals in its regulatory and communications programs. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Activity Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours Interviews/Surveys ................. 19,822 1 19,822 0.24 (14 minutes) 4,757 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
