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. Form FDA 3728, Animal Generic 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 (the 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 concurrent submission of user fees with applications is required, the review of an application cannot begin until the fee is submitted. Form FDA 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: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Form FDA No. Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours 3728 ..................................................................................... 20 2 40 .08 (5 min.) 3.2 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information Respondents to this collection of information are generic animal drug applicants.

Abstract: This is a request for an extension of OMB approval of the information collection requirements for the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). The CICP, within the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), administers the compensation program specified by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act of 2005 (PREP Act). The CICP provides compensation to eligible individuals who suffer serious injuries directly caused by a covered countermeasure administered or used pursuant to a PREP Act Declaration, or to their estates and/or to certain survivors (all of these parties may be ‘‘requesters’’). A declaration is issued by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (Secretary). The purpose of a declaration is to identify a disease, health condition, or a threat to health that is currently, or may in the future constitute, a public health emergency. In addition, the Secretary, through a declaration, may recommend and encourage the development, manufacturing, distribution, dispensing, and administration or use of one or more covered countermeasures to treat, prevent, or diagnose the disease, condition, or threat specified in the declaration. To determine whether a requester is eligible for CICP benefits (compensation) for the injury, the CICP must review the Request for Benefits Package, which includes the Request for Benefits Form and Authorization for Use or Disclosure of Health Information Form(s), as well as the injured countermeasure recipient’s medical records and supporting documentation. A requester who is an injured countermeasure recipient may be eligible to receive benefits for unreimbursed medical expenses and/or lost employment income. The estate of a deceased countermeasure recipient may be eligible to receive medical benefits and/or benefits for lost employment income accrued prior to the injured countermeasure recipient’s death. If death was the result of the administration or use of the countermeasure, certain survivor(s) of deceased eligible countermeasure recipients may be eligible to receive a death benefit, but not unreimbursed medical expenses or lost employment income benefits. 42 CFR 110.33. The death benefit is calculated using either the ‘‘standard calculation’’ or the ‘‘alternative calculation.’’ The ‘‘standard calculation’’ is based on the death benefit available under the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits (PSOB) Program. 42 CFR 110.82(b). The ‘‘alternative calculation’’ is based on the deceased countermeasure recipient’s income and is only available to the recipient’s dependent(s) younger than age 18 at the time of the countermeasure recipient’s death. 42 CFR 110.82(c). Approval is requested for the required continued information collection via the Request for Benefits Package and for the continued use of CICP’s mechanisms for obtaining medical documentation and supporting documentation collection. During the eligibility review, the CICP provides requesters with the opportunity to supplement their Request for Benefits with additional medical records and supporting documentation before a final determination is made. The CICP asks requesters to complete and sign a form indicating whether they intend to submit additional documentation prior to the final determination of their case. Approval is requested for the continued use of the benefits documentation package that the CICP sends to requesters who may be eligible for compensation, which includes certification forms and instructions outlining the documentation needed to determine the types and amounts of benefits. This documentation is required under 42 CFR 110.61–110.63 of the CICP’s implementing regulation to enable the CICP to determine the types and amounts of benefits the requester may be eligible to receive. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The information collected from requesters provides data and documentation that is needed for the CICP to determine: (1) The requester’s eligibility to receive benefits; and (2) if applicable, the type and amount of benefits that may be awarded. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: Countermeasures Injury 
Compensation Program OMB No. 0915-0334--Extension.
    Abstract: This is a request for an extension of OMB approval of the 
information collection requirements for the Countermeasures Injury 
Compensation Program (CICP). The CICP, within the Health Resources and 
Services Administration (HRSA), administers the compensation program 
specified by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act of 
2005 (PREP Act). The CICP provides compensation to eligible individuals 
who suffer serious injuries directly caused by a covered countermeasure 
administered or used pursuant to a PREP Act Declaration, or to their 
estates and/or to certain survivors (all of these parties may be 
``requesters''). A declaration is issued by the Secretary of the 
Department of Health and Human Services (Secretary). The purpose of a 
declaration is to identify a disease, health condition, or a threat to 
health that is currently, or may in the future constitute, a public 
health emergency. In addition, the Secretary, through a declaration, 
may recommend and encourage the development, manufacturing, 
distribution, dispensing, and administration or use of one or more 
covered countermeasures to treat, prevent, or diagnose the disease, 
condition, or threat specified in the declaration.
    To determine whether a requester is eligible for CICP benefits 
(compensation) for the injury, the CICP must review the Request for 
Benefits Package, which includes the Request for Benefits Form and 
Authorization for Use or Disclosure of Health Information Form(s), as 
well as the injured countermeasure recipient's medical records and 
supporting documentation.
    A requester who is an injured countermeasure recipient may be 
eligible to receive benefits for unreimbursed medical expenses and/or 
lost employment income. The estate of a deceased countermeasure 
recipient may be eligible to receive medical benefits and/or benefits 
for lost employment income accrued prior to the injured countermeasure 
recipient's death. If death was the result of the administration or use 
of the countermeasure, certain survivor(s) of deceased eligible 
countermeasure recipients may be eligible to receive a death benefit, 
but not unreimbursed medical expenses or lost employment income 
benefits. 42 CFR 110.33. The death benefit is calculated using either 
the ``standard calculation'' or the ``alternative calculation.'' The 
``standard calculation'' is based on the death benefit available under 
the Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB) Program. 42 CFR 110.82(b). 
The ``alternative calculation'' is based on the deceased countermeasure 
recipient's income and is only available to the recipient's 
dependent(s) younger than age 18 at the time of the countermeasure 
recipient's death. 42 CFR 110.82(c).
    Approval is requested for the required continued information 
collection via the Request for Benefits Package and for the continued 
use of CICP's mechanisms for obtaining medical documentation and 
supporting documentation collection. During the eligibility review, the 
CICP provides requesters with the opportunity to supplement their 
Request for Benefits with additional medical records and supporting 
documentation before a final determination is made. The CICP asks 
requesters to complete and sign a form indicating whether they intend 
to submit additional documentation prior to the final determination of 
their case.
    Approval is requested for the continued use of the benefits 
documentation package that the CICP sends to requesters who may be 
eligible for compensation, which includes certification forms and 
instructions outlining the documentation needed to determine the types 
and amounts of benefits. This documentation is required under 42 CFR 
110.61-110.63 of the CICP's implementing regulation to enable the CICP 
to determine the types and amounts of benefits the requester may be 
eligible to receive.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The information collected 
from requesters provides data and documentation that is needed for the 
CICP to determine: (1) The requester's eligibility to receive benefits; 
and (2) if applicable, the type and amount of benefits that may be 
awarded.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
