Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521), 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
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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.
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 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. 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
§§ 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.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
We based our estimates in tables 1
and 2 on our experience with the
MUMS indexing program and the
requests for eligibility for indexing and
for addition to the index, as well as the
periodic drug experience reports
submitted during the past 3 years.
Our estimated burden for the
information collection reflects an
overall increase of 351 reporting hours
and a corresponding increase of 85
responses. We attribute this adjustment,
generally, to an increase in the number
of submissions we received over the last
few years. We also reduced our burden
hour estimate for drug experience
reports and distributor statements under
§ 516.165 from 8 hours per submission
to 5 hours per submission based on our
experience with this type of reporting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), 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.
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 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.
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
Sec. Sec. 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.
FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as

We based our estimates in tables 1 and 2 on our experience with the
MUMS indexing program and the requests for eligibility for indexing and
for addition to the index, as well as the periodic drug experience
reports submitted during the past 3 years.
Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an
overall increase of 351 reporting hours and a corresponding increase of
85 responses. We attribute this adjustment, generally, to an increase
in the number of submissions we received over the last few years. We
also reduced our burden hour estimate for drug experience reports and
distributor statements under Sec. 516.165 from 8 hours per submission
to 5 hours per submission based on our experience with this type of
reporting.
