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 Investigational Use-21 CFR Part 511 (OMB Control Number 0910-0117)-Extension

FDA has the responsibility under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act), for approval of new animal drugs. Section 512(j) of the act (21 U.S.C. 360b(j)), authorizes FDA to issue regulations relating to the investigational use of new animal drugs. The regulations setting forth the conditions for investigational use of new animal drugs have been codified at part 511 (21 CFR part 511). A sponsor must submit to FDA a Notice of Claimed Investigational Exemption (INAD), before shipping the new animal drug for clinical tests in animals. The INAD must contain, among other things, the following specific information: (1) Identity of the new animal drug, (2) labeling, (3) statement of compliance of any nonclinical laboratory studies with good laboratory practices, (4) name and address of each clinical investigator, (5) the approximate number of animals to be treated or amount of new animal drug(s) to be shipped, and (6) information regarding the use of edible tissues from investigational animals. Part 511 also requires that records be established and maintained to document the distribution and use of the investigational drug to assure that its use is safe, and that distribution is controlled to prevent potential abuse. The agency utilizes these required records under its Bio-Research Monitoring Program to monitor the validity of the studies submitted to FDA to support new animal drug approval and to assure that proper use of the drug is maintained by the investigator.

Investigational new animal drugs are used primarily by drug industry firms, academic institutions, and the government. Investigators may include individuals from these entities as well as research firms and members of the medical profession. Respondents to this collection of information are the persons who use new animal drugs investigationally.

In the Federal Register of November 10, 2004 (69 FR 65198), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information collection provisions. No comments were received.

FDA estimates the burden for this collection of information as follows:

21 CFR Section No. of Respondents Annual Frequency per Response Total Annual Responses Hours per Response Total Hours
511.1(b)(4) 190 4.09 778 8 6,224
511.1(b)(5) 190 0.58 110 140 15,400
511.1(b)(6) 190 .01 20 1 20
511.1(b)(8)(ii) 190 .005 1 20 20
511.1(b)(9) 190 .10 20 8 160
Total 21,824
1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

21 CFR Section No. of Recordkeepers Annual Frequency per Record Total Annual Records Hours per Recordkeeper Total Hours
511.1(a)(3) 190 2.11 400 9 3,600
511.1(b)(3) 190 4.20 798 1 798
511.1(b)(7)(ii) 400 3.00 1,200 3.5 4,200
511.1(b)(8)(i) 190 6.38 1,200 3.5 4,200
Total 12,798
1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

The estimate of the time required for reporting requirements, record preparation and maintenance for this collection of information is based on agency communication with industry. Additional information needed to make a final calculation of the total burden hours (i.e. the number of respondents, the number of recordkeepers, the number of INAD applications received, etc.) is derived from agency records.

Dated: April 13, 2005.
