Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2017 / Notices
(Rehabilitation Act), as amended by the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
Act (WIOA, Pub. L. 113–128), and the
corresponding regulations at 45 CFR
part 1329, require centers for
independent living (CILs) to submit
annual performance reports to the
Administrator of the Administration for
Community Living (ACL) in order to
receive continuation funding under the
IL Parts B and C programs.
The 704 reports are submitted
annually by all Centers for Independent
Living, designated State entities and
Statewide Independent Living Councils
receiving IL Parts B and C funds. The
704 Parts I and II reports are used by
ACL to assess grantees’ compliance with
title VII of the Act, with section 1329 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, and
with applicable provisions of the HHS
regulations at 45 CFR part 75. The 704
Parts I and II reports serve as the
primary basis for ACL’s monitoring
activities in fulfillment of its
responsibilities under sections 706 and
722 of the Act. The 704 Parts I and II
reports also enable ACL to collect
qualitative and quantitative data to track
performance outcomes and efficiency
measures of the IL programs with
respect to the annual and long-term
performance targets established in
compliance with the GPRA
Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA)
reporting requirements. The 704 Parts I
and II reports are also used by ACL to
design CIL and SILC training and
technical assistance programs
authorized by section 721 of the Act.
Comments in Response to the 60-Day
Federal Register Notice
A 60-day notice was published in the
Federal Register in Vol. 82, No. 35, pg.
11471 on February 23rd, 2017. A Notice
of Correction was published in the
Federal Register in Vol. 82, No. 42 pg.
12610 on March 6th, 2017, announcing
that ACL had made changes to the
submission instructions, the public
comments closing date was incorrect,
the public comments email box was
incorrect, and the core services were
misstated in the original Federal
Register posting ACL received
comments from 50 (Fifty) organizations
that provided 221 (Two Hundred and
Twenty-One) individual comments
about the proposed information
collection. ACL reviewed all of the
comments. The majority of the
comments that ACL received expressed
concerns over inclusion of sexual
orientation and gender identity
questions in the reporting instrument
and asked that those questions be
removed; the separate demographics
and services provided to individuals
with significant disabilities, and the
43381
need for clarification on the definitions
and instructions as well as revisions to
the IL core services and additional
services sections of the updated
reporting instrument. Further
deliberation is needed to ensure that we
appropriately address all of the
concerns. This work will inform a
redesign of the proposed information
collection forms prior to the expiration
of the extension.
Annual Burden Estimates
A copy of the existing Centers for
Independent Living (CILs), designated
State entities (DSEs) and Statewide
Independent Living Councils (SILCs)
Annual Performance Reports (704 Parts
I and II reports can be found on ACL’s
Web site at: https://www.acl.gov/aboutacl/public-input. The 704 Report’s
estimated hour burden per respondent
each for the Part I (IL Part B) and Part
II (IL Part C) in 2017 remains unchanged
at 35 hours from 2014 because the
current data collection instrument is the
same as the one approved in 2014.
The total estimated hour burden also
remains the same because the number of
respondents, 412, has not changed since
the 2014 approval.
The aggregate total hour burden for
412 Parts I and II 704 Report is
estimated at 14,385, as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Minor Use and Minor Species
Animal Health Act of 2004 (MUMS Act)
(Pub. L. 108–282) amended the FD&C
Act to provide animal drug companies
with incentives to develop new animal
drugs for minor species and minor uses
in major species, while still ensuring
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
appropriate safeguards for animal and
human health.
One of the incentives established by
the MUMS Act is the Index of Legally
Marketed Unapproved New Animal
Drugs for Minor Species, also referred to
as ‘‘the Index.’’ The Index is available
for new animal drugs intended for use
in minor species; the Index is not
available for drugs intended for minor
use in major species (horses, cattle, pigs,
turkeys, chickens, dogs, and cats).
The Index consists of a list of legally
marketed unapproved new animal drugs
for minor species that meet the
requirements of section 572 of the FD&C
Act (21 U.S.C. 360ccc–1). We refer to
the process of adding a new animal drug
to the Index as ‘‘indexing.’’ Indexing
represents a pathway for legally
marketing unapproved new animal
drugs for minor species.
In the Federal Register of December 6,
2007, FDA published final regulations
establishing administrative procedures
and criteria for listing a new animal
drug for use in a minor species in the
Index (72 FR 69108). These regulations,
which are codified at 21 CFR part 516,
subpart C, are administered by the
Office of Minor Use and Minor Species
Animal Drug Development (OMUMS)
within FDA’s Center for Veterinary
Medicine (CVM). That office also
maintains the Index, which is available
to the public through FDA’s Web site at
https://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/
DevelopmentApprovalProcess/
MinorUseMinorSpecies/
ucm125452.htm.
FDA is announcing the availability of
a draft GIF #210 entitled ‘‘The Index of
Legally Marketed Unapproved New
Animal Drugs for Minor Species.’’ This
draft guidance describes the process for
adding a new animal drug to the Index.
II. Significance of Guidance
This level 1 draft guidance is being
issued consistent with FDA’s good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR
10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the current
thinking of FDA on ‘‘The Index of
Legally Marketed Unapproved New
Animal Drugs for Minor Species.’’ It
does not establish any rights for any
person and is not binding on FDA or the
public. You can use an alternative
approach if it satisfies the requirements
of the applicable statutes and
regulations. This guidance is not subject
to Executive Order 12866.
III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This draft guidance refers to
previously approved collections of
information found in FDA regulations.
These collections of information are
E:\FR\FM\15SEN1.SGM
15SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2017 / Notices
subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). The collections
of information in 21 CFR 516.119
through 516.165 have been approved
under OMB control number 0910–0620.
