FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FDA PRA Staff, Office of Operations, Food and Drug Administration, 8455 Colesville Rd., COLE–14526, Silver Spring, MD 20993–0002, PRAStaff@ fda.hhs.gov. 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 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. Reporting Associated With New Animal Drug Applications (NADA)—21 CFR 514.1, 514.4, 514.5, 514.6, 514.8, 514.11, 558.5 (OMB Control Number 0910– 0032)—Extension Under Section 512(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360b(b)(1)), any person may file a new animal drug application (NADA) seeking our approval to legally market a new animal drug. Section 512(b)(1) sets forth the information required to be submitted in a NADA. Sections 514.1, 514.4, 514.6, 514.8, and 514.11 of our regulations (21 CFR 514.1, 514.4, 514.6, 514.8, and 514.11) further specify the information that the NADA must contain. The application must include safety and effectiveness data, proposed labeling, product manufacturing information, and where necessary, complete information on food safety (including microbial food safety) and any methods used to determine residues of drug chemicals in edible tissue from food producing animals. FDA Guidance #152 outlines a risk assessment approach for evaluating the microbial food safety of antimicrobial new animal drugs. We request that applicants utilize Form FDA 356V, as appropriate, to ensure efficient and accurate processing of information to support new animal drug approval. Under section 512(b)(3) of the FD&C Act, any person intending to file a NADA or supplemental NADA or a request for an investigational exemption under section 512(j) of the FD&C Act is entitled to one or more conferences with us prior to making a submission. Section 514.5 of our regulations (21 CFR 514.5) describes the procedures for requesting, conducting, and documenting pre-submission conferences. We have found that these meetings have increased the efficiency of the drug development and drug review processes. We encourage sponsors to submit data for review at the most appropriate and productive times in the drug development process. Rather than submitting all data for review as part of a complete application, we have found that the submission of data supporting discrete technical sections during the investigational phase of the new animal drug is the most appropriate and productive. This ‘‘phased review’’ of data submissions has created efficiencies for both us and the animal pharmaceutical industry. Finally, § 558.5(i) of our regulations (21 CFR 558.5(i)) describes the procedure for requesting a waiver of the labeling requirements of § 558.5(h) in the event that there is evidence to indicate that it is unlikely a new animal drug would be used in the manufacture of a liquid medicated feed. The reporting associated with NADAs and related submissions is necessary to ensure that new animal drugs are in compliance with section 512(b)(1) of the FD&C Act. We use the information collected to review the data, labeling and manufacturing controls and procedures to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the proposed new animal drug. We estimate the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Number of respondents mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 21 CFR Section; activity 514.1 & 514.6; applications and amended applications ...... 514.1(b)(8) and 514.8(c)(1); evidence to establish safety and effectiveness ............................................................. 514.5(b), (d), (f); requesting presubmission conferences ... 514.8(b); manufacturing changes to an approved application .................................................................................... 514.8(c)(1); labeling and other changes to an approved application ........................................................................ 514.8(c)(2) & (3); labeling and other changes to an approved application ............................................................ 514.11; submission of data, studies and other information 558.5(i); requirements for liquid medicated feed .................

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Program provides a system of no-fault compensation for certain individuals who have been injured by specified childhood vaccines. Subtitle 2 of Title XXI of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa– 10 et seq., provides that those seeking compensation are to file a petition with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and to serve a copy of the petition on the Secretary of Health and Human Services, who is named as the respondent in each proceeding. The Secretary has delegated this responsibility under the Program to HRSA. The Court is directed by statute to appoint special masters who take evidence, conduct hearings as appropriate, and make initial decisions as to eligibility for, and amount of, compensation. A petition may be filed with respect to injuries, disabilities, illnesses, conditions, and deaths resulting from vaccines described in the Vaccine Injury Table (the Table) set forth at 42 CFR 100.3. This Table lists for each covered childhood vaccine the conditions that may lead to compensation and, for each condition, the time period for occurrence of the first symptom or manifestation of onset or of significant aggravation after vaccine administration. Compensation may also be awarded for conditions not listed in the Table and for conditions that are manifested outside the time periods specified in the Table, but only if the petitioner shows that the condition was caused by one of the listed vaccines. Section 2112(b)(2) of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa–12(b)(2), requires that ‘‘[w]ithin 30 days after the Secretary receives service of any petition filed under section 2111 the Secretary shall publish notice of such petition in the Federal Register.’’ Set forth below is a list of petitions received by HRSA on January 1, 2016, through January 31, 2016. This list provides the name of PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 petitioner, city and state of vaccination (if unknown then city and state of person or attorney filing claim), and case number. In cases where the Court has redacted the name of a petitioner and/or the case number, the list reflects such redaction. Section 2112(b)(2) also provides that the special master ‘‘shall afford all interested persons an opportunity to submit relevant, written information’’ relating to the following: 1. The existence of evidence ‘‘that there is not a preponderance of the evidence that the illness, disability, injury, condition, or death described in the petition is due to factors unrelated to the administration of the vaccine described in the petition,’’ and 2. Any allegation in a petition that the petitioner either: a. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness, disability, injury, or condition not set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table but which was caused by’’ one of the vaccines referred to in the Table, or b. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness, disability, injury, or condition set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table the first symptom or manifestation of the onset or significant aggravation of which did not occur within the time period set forth in the Table but which was caused by a vaccine’’ referred to in the Table. In accordance with Section 2112(b)(2), all interested persons may submit written information relevant to the issues described above in the case of the petitions listed below. Any person choosing to do so should file an original and three (3) copies of the information with the Clerk of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims at the address listed above (under the heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT), with a copy to HRSA addressed to Director, Division of Injury Compensation Programs, Healthcare Systems Bureau, 5600 Fishers Lane, 08N146B, Rockville, MD 20857.

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.

Reporting Associated With New Animal Drug Applications (NADA)--21 CFR 
514.1, 514.4, 514.5, 514.6, 514.8, 514.11, 558.5 (OMB Control Number 
0910-0032)--Extension

    Under Section 512(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
(the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360b(b)(1)), any person may file a new animal 
drug application (NADA) seeking our approval to legally market a new 
animal drug. Section 512(b)(1) sets forth the information required to 
be submitted in a NADA. Sections 514.1, 514.4, 514.6, 514.8, and 514.11 
of our regulations (21 CFR 514.1, 514.4, 514.6, 514.8, and 514.11) 
further specify the information that the NADA must contain. The 
application must include safety and effectiveness data, proposed 
labeling, product manufacturing information, and where necessary, 
complete information on food safety (including microbial food safety) 
and any methods used to determine residues of drug chemicals in edible 
tissue from food producing animals. FDA Guidance #152 outlines a risk 
assessment approach for evaluating the microbial food safety of 
antimicrobial new animal drugs. We request that applicants utilize Form 
FDA 356V, as appropriate, to ensure efficient and accurate processing 
of information to support new animal drug approval.
    Under section 512(b)(3) of the FD&C Act, any person intending to 
file a NADA or supplemental NADA or a request for an investigational 
exemption under section 512(j) of the FD&C Act is entitled to one or 
more conferences with us prior to making a submission. Section 514.5 of 
our regulations (21 CFR 514.5) describes the procedures for requesting, 
conducting, and documenting pre-submission conferences. We have found 
that these meetings have increased the efficiency of the drug 
development and drug review processes. We encourage sponsors to submit 
data for review at the most appropriate and productive times in the 
drug development process. Rather than submitting all data for review as 
part of a complete application, we have found that the submission of 
data supporting discrete technical sections during the investigational 
phase of the new animal drug is the most appropriate and productive. 
This ``phased review'' of data submissions has created efficiencies for 
both us and the animal pharmaceutical industry.
    Finally, Sec.  558.5(i) of our regulations (21 CFR 558.5(i)) 
describes the procedure for requesting a waiver of the labeling 
requirements of Sec.  558.5(h) in the event that there is evidence to 
indicate that it is unlikely a new animal drug would be used in the 
manufacture of a liquid medicated feed.
    The reporting associated with NADAs and related submissions is 
necessary to ensure that new animal drugs are in compliance with 
section 512(b)(1) of the FD&C Act. We use the information collected to 
review the data, labeling and manufacturing controls and procedures to 
evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the proposed new animal drug.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.
\2\ NADAs and supplements regarding antimicrobial animal drugs that use a recommended approach to assessing
  antimicrobial concerns as part of the overall pre-approval safety evaluation.

    Based on the number of sponsors subject to animal drug user fees, 
we estimate an average of 182 annual respondents during the 5 fiscal 
years, from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2014, on which these 
estimates were made. We use this estimate consistently throughout the 
table and calculate the ``annual frequency per respondent'' by dividing 
the total annual responses by the total number of respondents. We base 
our estimates of the average burden per response on our experience with 
NADAs and related submissions.

    Dated: February 25, 2016.
Leslie Kux,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
