The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry (GFI) #273 entitled ``Defining Durations of Use for Approved Medically Important Antimicrobial Drugs Fed to Food-Producing Animals.''

It also, when finalized, will propose timelines for stakeholders wishing to voluntarily align their affected applications with this guidance.
