Reporting Associated With Designated
New Animal Drugs for Minor Use and
Minor Species; 21 CFR Part 516 OMB
Control Number 0910–0605—Extension
The Minor Use and Minor Species
(MUMS) Animal Health Act of 2004
(Pub. L. 108–282) amended the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to
authorize FDA to establish new
regulatory procedures intended to make
more medications legally available to
veterinarians and animal owners for the
treatment of minor animal species as
well as uncommon diseases in major
animal species. This legislation
provides incentives designed to help
pharmaceutical companies overcome
the financial burdens they face in
providing limited-demand animal
drugs. These incentives are only
available to sponsors whose drugs are
‘‘MUMS-designated’’ by FDA. Minor use
drugs are drugs for use in major species
(cattle, horses, swine, chickens, turkeys,
dogs, and cats) that are needed for
diseases that occur in only a small
number of animals either because they
occur infrequently or in limited
geographic areas. Minor species are all
animals other than the major species; for
example, zoo animals, ornamental fish,
parrots, ferrets, and guinea pigs. Some
animals of agricultural importance are
also minor species. These include
animals such as sheep, goats, catfish,
and honeybees. Participation in the
MUMS program is completely optional
for drug sponsors so the associated
reporting only applies to those sponsors
who request and are subsequently
granted ‘‘MUMS designation.’’
Our regulations in 21 CFR part 516
specify the criteria and procedures for
requesting MUMS designation as well as
the annual reporting requirements for
MUMS designees. Section 516.20 (21
CFR 516.20) provides requirements on
the content and format of a request for
MUMS-drug designation; § 516.26
provides requirements for amending
MUMS-drug designation; § 516.27
provides for change in sponsorship of
MUMS-drug designation; § 516.29
provides for termination of MUMS-drug
designation; § 516.30 contains the
requirements for annual reports from
sponsor(s) of MUMS-designated drugs;
and § 516.36 sets forth consequences for
insufficient quantities of MUMSdesignated drugs.
Description of Respondents: The
respondents to this information
collection are pharmaceutical
companies that sponsor new animal
drugs.
In the Federal Register of August 22,
2016 (81 FR 56658), FDA published a
60-day notice requesting public
comment on the proposed collection of
information. No comments were
received.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

The burden estimate for this reporting
requirement was derived in our Office
of Minor Use and Minor Species Animal
Drug Development by extrapolating the
investigational new animal drug/new
animal drug application reporting
requirements for similar actions by this
same segment of the regulated industry
and from previous interactions with the
minor use/minor species community.

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

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 246 / Thursday, December 22, 2016 / Notices
serve a copy of the petition on the
Secretary of HHS, 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
November 1, 2016, through November
30, 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
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. The Court’s caption (Petitioner’s
Name v. Secretary of Health and Human
Services) and the docket number
assigned to the petition should be used
as the caption for the written
submission. Chapter 35 of title 44,
United States Code, related to
paperwork reduction, does not apply to
information required for purposes of
carrying out the Program.

Information Collection Request Title:
Surgeon General’s Pledge to End the
Opioid Crisis.
OMB No.: 0990–0448.
Abstract: This information collection
is a critical component of a campaign to
encourage health care prescribers (the
user) to take action in their clinical
practice to reduce the number of
prescription drug overdoses and reduce
the likelihood of prescription opioid
drugs ending up in the possession of
those who may abuse them. This
information collection involves
obtaining user contact information,
medical profession category, medical
specialty, and responses to short
questions specifically designed to
provide anecdotal information and
contextualize the impact of the
prescription opioid epidemic.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: This information collection
serves to gather contact information
from clinical prescribers and responses
to two short answer questions
describing how prescription opioid
addiction has impacted their patients
and/or their practice. Zip code,
profession, and specialty will be
collected and analyzed to present
aggregate pledge data. Each element will
also be utilized to send personalized
campaign communication.
Understanding the demographics of the
medical practitioners will improve the
efficacy of the campaign to end opioid

300aa-10 et seq., provides that those seeking compensation are to file
a petition with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and to
[[Page 93943]]
serve a copy of the petition on the Secretary of HHS, 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 November 1, 2016, through
November 30, 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
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. The Court's caption (Petitioner's Name v.
Secretary of Health and Human Services) and the docket number assigned
to the petition should be used as the caption for the written
submission. Chapter 35 of title 44, United States Code, related to
paperwork reduction, does not apply to information required for
purposes of carrying out the Program.
Dated: December 15, 2016.

Acting Administrator.
