SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of
a draft GFI #264 entitled ‘‘Standardized
Medicated Feed Assay Limits.’’ This
draft guidance recommends a
standardized set of assay limits for
medicated feeds. Standardized
medicated feed assay limits allow
predictability in the review process as
the sponsor can determine early in the
drug development process what assay
limits they should expect to meet for
medicated feeds used in Target Animal
Safety, Effectiveness, Chemistry,
Manufacturing, and Controls,
Bioequivalence, and Human Food
Safety residue chemistry studies. Assay
limits are used pre-approval to ensure
that medicated feeds in these studies
contain the appropriate amount of drug,
and post-approval for compliance and
customer service purposes.
II. Significance of Guidance
This Level 1 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The draft guidance, when finalized, will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 ‘‘Standardized Assay Limits for
Medicated Feeds.’’ 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.
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This draft guidance refers to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
subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3521). The collections
of information in section 512(n)(1) of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(n)(1)) have been
approved under OMB control number
0910–0669. The collections of
information in 21 CFR part 514 have
been approved under OMB control
number 0910–0032.
