New Animal Drug Application, Form 356 V--21 CFR Part 514 (OMB Control 
Number 0910-0032)--Extension

    FDA has the responsibility under the Federal Food, Drug and 
Cosmetic Act (the act), for the approval of new animal drugs that are 
safe and effective. Section 512(b) of the act (21 U.S.C. 360b(b)) 
requires that a sponsor submit and receive approval of a new animal 
drug application (NADA) before interstate marketing is allowed. The 
regulations implementing statutory requirements for NADA approval have 
been codified under 21 CFR part 514. NADA applicants generally use a 
single form, FDA 356 V. The NADA must contain, among other things, 
safety and effectiveness data for the drug, labeling, a list of 
components, manufacturing and controls information, and complete 
information on any methods used to determine residues of drug chemicals 
in edible tissues. While the NADA is pending, an amended application 
may be submitted for proposed changes. After an NADA has been approved, 
a supplemental application must be submitted for certain proposed 
changes, including changes beyond the variations provided for in the 
NADA and other labeling changes. An amended application and a 
supplemental application may omit statements concerning which no change 
is proposed. This information is reviewed by FDA scientific personnel 
to ensure that the intended use of an animal drug, whether as a 
pharmaceutical dosage form, in drinking water, or in medicated feed, is 
safe and effective. The respondents are pharmaceutical firms that 
produce veterinary products and commercial feed mills.
    In the Federal Register of May 19, 2004 (69 FR 28930), FDA 
published a 60-day notice soliciting comments on the collection of 
information requirements. In response to that notice, no comments were 
received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

\1\ There are no capitol costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    The estimate of the burden hours required for reporting are based 
on FY 2003 data. The burden estimate includes original NADAs, 
supplemental NADAs and amendments to unapproved applications.
    The burden estimate for obtaining a waiver (filing a petition) from 
labeling requirements for certain drugs intended for use in animal feed 
or drinking water was derived from data by FDA's Division of Animal 
Feeds in the Center for Veterinary Medicine.
