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.

Form FDA 3728, Animal Generic Drug User Fee Act Cover Sheet-21 U.S.C. 379j-21 (OMB Control Number 0910-0632)-Extension

Section 741 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 379j-21) establishes three different kinds of user fees: (1) Fees for certain types of abbreviated applications for generic new animal drugs, (2) annual fees for certain generic new animal drug products, and (3) annual fees for certain sponsors of abbreviated applications for generic new animal drugs and/or investigational submissions for generic new animal drugs (21 U.S.C. 379j-21(a)). Because the submission of user fees concurrent with applications is required, the review of an application cannot begin until the fee is submitted. Form FDA 3728 is the Animal Generic Drug User Fee Act (AGDUFA) Cover Sheet, which is designed to provide the minimum necessary information to determine whether a fee is required for review of an application, to determine the amount of the fee required, and to account for and track user fees.

In the Federal Register of October 5, 2011 (76 FR 61709), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received.

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

FDA Form Number Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours
3728 20 2 40 .08 (5 min.) 3.2
1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

Respondents to this collection of information are generic animal drug applicants. Based on FDA's database system, there are an estimated 20 sponsors of new animal drugs potentially subject to AGDUFA.

Dated: July 12, 2012.

Leslie Kux,

Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
