Determination of Regulatory Review Period for Purposes of Patent Extension; BRAVECTO; Correction, 31318 [2021-12284]

Download as PDF jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES 31318 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 111 / Friday, June 11, 2021 / Notices specific process outlined in the draft guidance, but rather addressed support for, or concerns with, the underlying policy of judicious use of medically important antimicrobials in animals, specifically the principle of limiting medically important antimicrobial drugs to uses in animals that include veterinary oversight or consultation. As described in FDA GFI #209, ‘‘The Judicious Use of Medically Important Antimicrobial Drugs in Food-Producing Animals’’ (77 FR 22328, April 13, 2012), the development of resistance to this important class of drugs, and the resulting loss of their effectiveness as antimicrobial therapies, poses a serious public health threat. Developing strategies to reduce antimicrobial resistance is critically important for protecting both public and animal health. This guidance is an extension of FDA’s ongoing efforts to promote the appropriate or judicious use of medically important antimicrobial drugs in animals. This guidance provides information to sponsors of new animal drug products containing antimicrobials of human medical importance who are interested in changing the approved marketing status of these products from OTC to Rx with specific recommendations on submission of revised labeling. Such changes are consistent with FDA’s recommendation that the use of such antimicrobial drugs in animals include veterinary oversight in order to mitigate development of antimicrobial resistance and thereby preserve the effectiveness of these drugs for use as therapies to treat infections in humans and animals. The guidance also identifies timelines for stakeholders wishing to comply voluntarily with this guidance; these timelines remain as outlined in the draft guidance. In the final guidance, editorial changes were made to improve clarity. This level 1 guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the current thinking of FDA on recommendations for drug sponsors for voluntarily bringing under veterinary oversight all medically important antimicrobial drugs approved for use in animals that continue to be available as OTC products. 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. II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 While this guidance contains no collection of information, it does refer to previously approved FDA collections of VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:14 Jun 10, 2021 Jkt 253001 information. Therefore, clearance by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3521) is not required for this guidance. The previously approved collections of information are subject to review by OMB under the PRA. 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.
