education, training, or experience to be understood and resolved. 
Further, the guidance details information on how the Agency intends to 
interpret and apply provisions of the existing regulations regarding 
internal Agency review of decisions. In addition, the guidance outlines 
the established procedures for persons who are sponsors, applicants or 
manufacturers, for animal drugs or other products regulated by CVM, 
that wish to submit a request for review of a scientific dispute. When 
a sponsor, applicant, or manufacturer has a scientific disagreement

    CVM encourages applicants to begin the resolution of science-based 
disputes with discussions with the review team/group, including the 
Team Leader or Division Director. The Center prefers that differences 
of opinion regarding science or science-based policy be resolved 
between the review team/group and the applicant. If the matter is not 
resolved by this preferred method, then CVM recommends that the 
applicant follow the procedure in Guidance for Industry #79. Of the two 
respondents who were advised on the procedure during the past 3 years, 
one has not followed up to initiate it and the other is working with 
the review team/group to resolve the issue(s). Therefore, this 
estimated annual reporting burden is based on CVM's previous experience 
in handling formal appeals for scientific disputes.
