designed to collect the minimum necessary information to determine 
whether a fee is required for the review of an application or 
supplement or whether an application fee waiver was granted, to 
determine the amount of the fee required, and to assure that each 
animal drug user fee payment is appropriately linked to the animal drug 
application for which payment is made. The form, when completed 
electronically, will result in the generation of a unique payment 
identification number used by FDA to track the payment. FDA's Center 
for Veterinary Medicine and FDA's Office of Management will use the 
information collected to initiate the administrative screening of new 
animal drug applications and supplements to determine whether the 
payment has been received.
