        of operating reserves of carryover user fees for the process 
        for the review of animal drug applications for the first 3 
        months of fiscal year 2019. If the Food and Drug Administration 
        has carryover balances for the process for the review of animal 
        drug applications in excess of 3 months of such operating 
        reserves, then this adjustment will not be made. If this

                business or its affiliate submits to the Secretary for

supplemental animal drug application submitted by a person subject to 
fees under subsection (a) shall be considered incomplete and shall not 
be accepted for filing by the Secretary until all fees owed by such 
person have been paid. An investigational animal drug submission under 
section 739(5)(B) that is submitted by a person subject to fees under 
subsection (a) shall be considered incomplete and shall not be accepted 
for review by the Secretary until all fees owed by such person have 
been paid. The Secretary may discontinue review of any animal drug 
application, supplemental animal drug application, or investigational 
animal drug submission from a person if such person has not submitted 
for payment all fees owed under this section by 30 days after the date 
upon which they are due.

        fees under subsection (a)(2) shall be $2,748,000 for fiscal 
        year 2014, $2,604,000 for fiscal year 2015, $2,786,000 for 
        fiscal year 2016, $2,976,000 for fiscal year 2017, and

    ``(c) Annual Fee Setting; Adjustments.--
            ``(1) Annual fee setting.--The Secretary shall establish, 
        60 days before the start of each fiscal year beginning after 
        September 30, 2008, for that fiscal year, abbreviated 
        application fees, generic new animal drug sponsor fees, and 
        generic new animal drug product fees, based on the revenue 
        amounts established under subsection (b) and the adjustments 
        provided under this subsection.
            ``(2) Workload adjustment.--The fee revenues shall be 
        adjusted each fiscal year after fiscal year 2014 to reflect 
        changes in review workload. With respect to such adjustment:
                    ``(A) This adjustment shall be determined by the 
                Secretary based on a weighted average of the change in 
                the total number of abbreviated applications for 
                generic new animal drugs, manufacturing supplemental 
                abbreviated applications for generic new animal drugs, 
                investigational generic new animal drug study 
                submissions, and investigational generic new animal 
                drug protocol submissions submitted to the Secretary. 
                The Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register the 
                fees resulting from this adjustment and the supporting 
                methodologies.
                    ``(B) Under no circumstances shall this workload 
                adjustment result in fee revenues for a fiscal year 
                that are less than the fee revenues for that fiscal 
                year established in subsection (b).
            ``(3) Final year adjustment.--For fiscal year 2018, the 
        Secretary may, in addition to other adjustments under this 
        subsection, further increase the fees under this section, if 
        such an adjustment is necessary, to provide for up to 3 months 
        of operating reserves of carryover user fees for the process 
        for the review of abbreviated applications for generic new 
        animal drugs for the first 3 months of fiscal year 2019. If the 
        Food and Drug Administration has carryover balances for the 
        process for the review of abbreviated applications for generic 
        new animal drugs in excess of 3 months of such operating 
        reserves, then this adjustment shall not be made. If this 
        adjustment is necessary, then the rationale for the amount of 
        the increase shall be contained in the annual notice setting 
        fees for fiscal year 2018.
            ``(4) Limit.--The total amount of fees charged, as adjusted 
        under this subsection, for a fiscal year may not exceed the 
        total costs for such fiscal year for the resources allocated 
        for the process for the review of abbreviated applications for 
        generic new animal drugs.
    ``(d) Fee Waiver or Reduction.--The Secretary shall grant a waiver 
from or a reduction of 1 or more fees assessed under subsection (a) 
where the Secretary finds that the generic new animal drug is intended 
solely to provide for a minor use or minor species indication.
    ``(e) Effect of Failure To Pay Fees.--An abbreviated application 
for a generic new animal drug submitted by a person subject to fees 
under subsection (a) shall be considered incomplete and shall not be 
accepted for filing by the Secretary until all fees owed by such person 
have been paid. An investigational submission for a generic new animal 
drug that is submitted by a person subject to fees under subsection (a) 
shall be considered incomplete and shall not be accepted for review by 
the Secretary until all fees owed by such person have been paid. The 
Secretary may discontinue review of any abbreviated application for a 
generic new animal drug, supplemental abbreviated application for a 
generic new animal drug, or investigational submission for a generic 
new animal drug from a person if such person has not submitted for 
payment all fees owed under this section by 30 days after the date upon 
which they are due.
    ``(f) Assessment of Fees.--
            ``(1) Limitation.--Fees may not be assessed under 
        subsection (a) for a fiscal year beginning after fiscal year 
        2008 unless appropriations for salaries and expenses of the 
        Food and Drug Administration for such fiscal year (excluding 
        the amount of fees appropriated for such fiscal year) are equal 
        to or greater than the amount of appropriations for the 
        salaries and expenses of the Food and Drug Administration for 
        the fiscal year 2003 (excluding the amount of fees appropriated 
        for such fiscal year) multiplied by the adjustment factor 
        applicable to the fiscal year involved.
            ``(2) Authority.--If the Secretary does not assess fees 
        under subsection (a) during any portion of a fiscal year 
        because of paragraph (1) and if at a later date in such fiscal 
        year the Secretary may assess such fees, the Secretary may 
        assess and collect such fees, without any modification in the 
        rate, for abbreviated applications, generic new animal drug 
        sponsors, and generic new animal drug products at any time in 
        such fiscal year notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 
        (a) relating to the date fees are to be paid.
    ``(g) Crediting and Availability of Fees.--
            ``(1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2)(C), fees 
        authorized under subsection (a) shall be collected and 
        available for obligation only to the extent and in the amount 
        provided in advance in appropriations Acts. Such fees are 
        authorized to be appropriated to remain available until 
        expended. Such sums as may be necessary may be transferred from 
        the Food and Drug Administration salaries and expenses 
        appropriation account without fiscal year limitation to such 
        appropriation account for salary and expenses with such fiscal 
        year limitation. The sums transferred shall be available solely 
        for the process for the review of abbreviated applications for 
        generic new animal drugs.

                    ``(A) In general.--The fees authorized by this 
                section--

                appropriations and allocated for the process for the 
                review of abbreviated applications for generic new

                        subsequent fiscal year are decreased by the 
                        amount in excess of 3 percent by which such 
                        costs fell below the level specified in

    ``(h) Collection of Unpaid Fees.--In any case where the Secretary 
does not receive payment of a fee assessed under subsection (a) within 
30 days after it is due, such fee shall be treated as a claim of the 
United States Government subject to subchapter II of chapter 37 of 
title 31, United States Code.
    ``(i) Written Requests for Waivers, Reductions, and Refunds.--To 
qualify for consideration for a waiver or reduction under subsection 
(d), or for a refund of any fee collected in accordance with subsection 
(a), a person shall submit to the Secretary a written request for such 
waiver, reduction, or refund not later than 180 days after such fee is
