OMB Control Number 0910–0605— Revision This information collection supports FDA regulations that implement sections 572 and 573 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360ccc–1 and 21 U.S.C. 360ccc–2) which establish an index of legally marketed unapproved new animal drugs for minor species and requirements for the designation of minor use or minor species new animal drugs, respectively. Agency regulations are codified in part 516 (21 CFR part 516) and include recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The purpose of these regulations is to encourage the development of these new animal drugs, while still ensuring appropriate safeguards for animal and human health. The general provisions in part 516, subpart A, set forth its purpose, scope, and applicable definitions. Our regulations in part 516, subpart B, provide for designation status for Minor Use and Minor Species (MUMS) drugs prior to their approval or conditional approval. MUMS-drug designation makes the sponsor eligible for incentives to support the approval or conditional approval of the designated use and is completely optional for drug sponsors. The regulations describe how to apply for designation, what needs to be submitted, and other information pertaining to this option. Sponsors of designated new animal drugs are PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 required to demonstrate due diligence toward approval or conditional approval through submission of annual reports documenting their progress for each designated use. We use this information to allow for determining eligibility for designation and the associated incentives and benefits, including a 7-year period of exclusive marketing rights, as provided by section 573 of the FD&C Act. It enables us to process requests for MUMS-drug designation, requests to amend MUMS-drug designation, changes in sponsorship, termination of MUMS-drug designation, requirements for annual reports from sponsors, and provisions for insufficient quantities of MUMS-designated drugs. Regulations in part 516, subpart C, are intended to make more medications legally available to veterinarians and animal owners for the treatment of minor animal species. In some cases, a minor species drug is intended for use in species that are too rare or too varied to be the subject of adequate and wellcontrolled studies in support of a drug approval. In such cases, FDA may add the drug to the public index listing of legally marketed unapproved new animal drugs for minor species animals (Index), as provided for by section 572 of the FD&C Act. Within limitations established by the statute, such indexing provides a basis for legally marketing an unapproved new animal drug intended for use in a minor species. Our regulations in part 516, subpart C, 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 holders of an index listing. The administrative procedures and criteria for indexing a new animal drug for use in a minor species, as well as modifications and removal of a drug from the Index are also set forth. FDA uses the information for the activities described above. In the Federal Register of August 1, 2022 (87 FR 46961), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public E:\FR\FM\29JNN1.SGM 29JNN1 42081 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 124 / Thursday, June 29, 2023 / Notices comment on the information collection requirements related to designation status for MUMS drugs. No comments were received. We are revising the information collection to add the information collection requirements companies that sponsor new animal drugs for designation or requesters wishing to add a new animal drug to the Index.

The burden estimates reflect our current experience with the information collection and requests received by respondents over the past 3 years. We also include burden that may be attributable to rulemaking (RIN 0910–A146), which became effective on December 14, 2022. Although the rulemaking revised the PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 definition of ‘‘small number of animals,’’ for purposes of determining whether a particular intended use of a drug in a major species qualifies as a minor use, we believe only nominal adjustments in burden associated with designation status for MUMS drugs may result, other than a one-time recordkeeping burden. In addition, upon review of the previous information collection submission related to E:\FR\FM\29JNN1.SGM 29JNN1 42082 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 124 / Thursday, June 29, 2023 / Notices indexing, we include burden associated with recordkeeping to address a dataentry error in the RISC/ORIA Combined Information System (ROCIS system).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: Rural Communities Opioid Response Program Performance Measures—OMB No. 0906–0044—Revision. Abstract: HRSA administers the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP), which is authorized by section 711(b)(5) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 912(b)(5)) and is a multiinitiative program that aims to: (1) support treatment for and prevention of substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD); and (2) reduce morbidity and mortality associated with SUD, to include OUD, by improving access to and delivering prevention, treatment, and recovery support services to high-risk rural communities. To support this purpose, RCORP grant initiatives include: • RCORP—Implementation grants to fund established networks and consortia to deliver SUD/OUD prevention, treatment, and recovery activities in high-risk rural communities; • RCORP—Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome grants to reduce the incidence and impact of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome in rural communities by improving systems of care, family supports, and social determinants of health; • RCORP—Psychostimulant Support grants to strengthen and expand prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals in rural areas who misuse psychostimulants; to enhance their ability to access treatment and move toward recovery; • RCORP—Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Access grants aim to establish new access points in rural facilities where none currently exist; and • RCORP—Behavioral Health Care support grants aim to expand access to and quality of behavioral health care services at the individual-, provider-, and community-levels. • Note that additional grant initiatives may be added pending fiscal year 2024 and future fiscal year appropriations. HRSA currently collects information about RCORP grants using approved performance measures. HRSA developed separate performance measures for RCORP’s new MAT Access PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and Behavioral Health Care Support grants and seeks OMB approval for the new collection. A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on April 23, 2023, vol. 88, No. 63; pp. 19651–52. There were no public comments. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Due to the growth in the number of grant initiatives included within RCORP, as well as emerging SUD and other behavioral health trends in rural communities, HRSA is submitting a revised ICR that includes measures for RCORP’s new MAT Access and Behavioral Health Care Support grants. For this program, performance measures were developed to provide data on each RCORP initiative and enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data required by Congress under the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. These measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, including: (a) provision of, and referral to, rural behavioral health care services, including SUD prevention, treatment and recovery support services; (b) behavioral health care, including SUD prevention, treatment, and recovery, process and outcomes; (c) education of health care providers and community members; (d) emerging trends in rural behavioral health care needs and areas of concern; and (e) consortium strength and sustainability. All measures will speak to the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy’s progress toward meeting the goals set. Likely Respondents: The respondents will be recipients of the RCORP grants. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized in the table below. E:\FR\FM\29JNN1.SGM 29JNN1

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.

New Animal Drugs for Minor Use and Minor Species

OMB Control Number 0910-0605--Revision

    This information collection supports FDA regulations that implement 
sections 572 and 573 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C 
Act) (21 U.S.C. 360ccc-1 and 21 U.S.C. 360ccc-2) which establish an 
index of legally marketed unapproved new animal drugs for minor species 
and requirements for the designation of minor use or minor species new 
animal drugs, respectively. Agency regulations are codified in part 516 
(21 CFR part 516) and include recordkeeping and reporting requirements. 
The purpose of these regulations is to encourage the development of 
these new animal drugs, while still ensuring appropriate safeguards for 
animal and human health. The general provisions in part 516, subpart A, 
set forth its purpose, scope, and applicable definitions.
    Our regulations in part 516, subpart B, provide for designation 
status for Minor Use and Minor Species (MUMS) drugs prior to their 
approval or conditional approval. MUMS-drug designation makes the 
sponsor eligible for incentives to support the approval or conditional 
approval of the designated use and is completely optional for drug 
sponsors. The regulations describe how to apply for designation, what 
needs to be submitted, and other information pertaining to this option. 
Sponsors of designated new animal drugs are required to demonstrate due 
diligence toward approval or conditional approval through submission of 
annual reports documenting their progress for each designated use. We 
use this information to allow for determining eligibility for 
designation and the associated incentives and benefits, including a 7-
year period of exclusive marketing rights, as provided by section 573 
of the FD&C Act. It enables us to process requests for MUMS-drug 
designation, requests to amend MUMS-drug designation, changes in 
sponsorship, termination of MUMS-drug designation, requirements for 
annual reports from sponsors, and provisions for insufficient 
quantities of MUMS-designated drugs.
    Regulations in part 516, subpart C, are intended to make more 
medications legally available to veterinarians and animal owners for 
the treatment of minor animal species. In some cases, a minor species 
drug is intended for use in species that are too rare or too varied to 
be the subject of adequate and well-controlled studies in support of a 
drug approval. In such cases, FDA may add the drug to the public index

requesting eligibility for indexing and for requesting addition to the 
Index, as well as the annual reporting requirements for holders of an 
index listing. The administrative procedures and criteria for indexing 
a new animal drug for use in a minor species, as well as modifications 
and removal of a drug from the Index are also set forth. FDA uses the 
information for the activities described above.
    In the Federal Register of August 1, 2022 (87 FR 46961), FDA

comment on the information collection requirements related to 
designation status for MUMS drugs. No comments were received. We are 
revising the information collection to add the information collection 
requirements associated with the index listing of legally marketed 
unapproved new animal drugs for minor species, for efficiency of Agency 
operations.
    Description of Respondents: The respondents to this information 
collection are pharmaceutical companies that sponsor new animal drugs 
for designation or requesters wishing to add a new animal drug to the 
Index.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    Burden we attribute to recordkeeping activities for the indexing 
provisions is assumed to be distributed among the individual elements 
and averaged among respondents. Our estimate of the burden per record 
(0.625 hours) reflects what we believe is the average burden based on 
the recordkeeping required by the information collection.
    For efficiency of Agency operations, we are consolidating the 
related information collection activities currently approved in OMB 
control numbers 0910-0605 and 0910-0620 into a single collection 
request. The burden estimates reflect our current experience with the 
information collection and requests received by respondents over the 
past 3 years. We also include burden that may be attributable to 
rulemaking (RIN 0910-A146), which became effective on December 14, 
2022. Although the rulemaking revised the definition of ``small number 
of animals,'' for purposes of determining whether a particular intended 
use of a drug in a major species qualifies as a minor use, we believe 
only nominal adjustments in burden associated with designation status 
for MUMS drugs may result, other than a one-time recordkeeping burden. 
In addition, upon review of the previous information collection 
submission related to

[[Page 42082]]

indexing, we include burden associated with recordkeeping to address a 
data-entry error in the RISC/ORIA Combined Information System (ROCIS 
system). Cumulatively, these changes and adjustments reflect an overall 
increase of 5,905 hours and a corresponding increase of 864 responses, 
annually, to the information collection.
