Mizrachi, Office of Operations, Food and Drug Administration, Three White Flint North, 10A63, 11601 Landsdown St., North Bethesda, MD 20852, 301– 796–7726. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. Index of Legally Marketed Unapproved New Animal Drugs for Minor Species—21 CFR part 516 OMB Control Number 0910–0620— Extension The Minor Use and Minor Species Animal Health Act of 2004 (the MUMS Act) (Pub. L. 108–282) added section 572 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360ccc-1), which authorizes 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 (species other than cattle, horses, swine, chickens, turkeys, dogs, and cats). In enacting the MUMS Act, Congress sought to encourage the development of these SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: new animal drugs. Congress recognized that the markets for drugs intended to treat these species, diseases, or conditions are so small that there are often insufficient economic incentives to motivate drug companies to develop data to support approvals. Further, Congress recognized that some minor species populations are too small or their management systems too diverse to make it practical to conduct traditional studies to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of animal drugs for such uses. As a result of these limitations, drug companies have generally not been willing or able to collect data to support legal marketing of drugs for these species, diseases, or conditions. Consequently, Congress enacted the MUMS Act to provide incentives to develop new animal drugs for minor species, while still ensuring appropriate safeguards for animal and human health. Section 572 of the FD&C Act provides for a public index listing of legally marketed unapproved new animal drugs for minor species. FDA regulations in part 516 (21 CFR part 516) specify, among other things, the criteria and procedures for requesting eligibility for indexing and for requesting addition to the index, as well as the annual reporting requirements for index holders. The administrative procedures and criteria for indexing a new animal drug for use in a minor species are set forth in 21 CFR 516.111 through 516.171. Section 516.165 sets forth the annual reporting requirements for index holders. FDA needs the information to determine: (1) The eligibility of a new animal drug for indexing; (2) that a qualified expert panel proposed to review certain information regarding the new animal drug meets the selection criteria listed in the regulations; (3) whether the Agency agrees with the recommendation of a qualified expert panel that a drug be added to the index; and (4) whether there may be grounds for removing a drug from the index. In the Federal Register of December 21, 2016 (81 FR 93689), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. FDA received one comment, which was outside the scope of the comment requests in the notice.

These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM and FIS report become effective. The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report become effective. Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the SRP only may be exercised after SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\20JYN1.SGM 20JYN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance. Index of Legally Marketed Unapproved New Animal 
Drugs for Minor Species--21 CFR part 516 OMB Control Number 0910-0620--
Extension
    The Minor Use and Minor Species Animal Health Act of 2004 (the MUMS 
Act) (Pub. L. 108-282) added section 572 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360ccc-1), which authorizes 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 (species other than cattle, 
horses, swine, chickens, turkeys, dogs, and cats). In enacting the MUMS 
Act, Congress sought to encourage the development of these new animal 
drugs. Congress recognized that the markets for drugs intended to treat 
these species, diseases, or conditions are so small that there are 
often insufficient economic incentives to motivate drug companies to 
develop data to support approvals. Further, Congress recognized that 
some minor species populations are too small or their management 
systems too diverse to make it practical to conduct traditional studies 
to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of animal drugs for such uses. 
As a result of these limitations, drug companies have generally not 
been willing or able to collect data to support legal marketing of 
drugs for these species, diseases, or conditions. Consequently, 
Congress enacted the MUMS Act to provide incentives to develop new 
animal drugs for minor species, while still ensuring appropriate 
safeguards for animal and human health. Section 572 of the FD&C Act 
provides for a public index listing of legally marketed unapproved new 
animal drugs for minor species. FDA regulations in part 516 (21 CFR 
part 516) specify, among other things, the criteria and procedures for 
requesting eligibility for indexing and for requesting addition to the 
index, as well as the annual reporting requirements for index holders. 
The administrative procedures and criteria for indexing a new animal 
drug for use in a minor species are set forth in 21 CFR 516.111 through 
516.171. Section 516.165 sets forth the annual reporting requirements

eligibility of a new animal drug for indexing; (2) that a qualified 
expert panel proposed to review certain information regarding the new 
animal drug meets the selection criteria listed in the regulations; (3) 
whether the Agency agrees with the recommendation of a qualified expert 
panel that a drug be added to the index; and (4) whether there may be 
grounds for removing a drug from the index.
    In the Federal Register of December 21, 2016 (81 FR 93689), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. FDA received one comment, which was outside 
the scope of the comment requests in the notice.
