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:

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

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

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.
