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. Extralabel Drug Use in Animals—21 CFR Part 530 (OMB Control No. 0910-0325)—Extension *Description*: The Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act of 1994 (AMDUCA) (Public Law 103-396) allows a veterinarian to prescribe the extralabel use of approved new animal drugs. Also, AMDUCA permits FDA, if it finds that there is a reasonable probability that the extralabel use of an animal drug may present a risk to the public health, to establish a safe level for a residue from the extralabel use of an animal drug and to require the development of an analytical method for the detection of residues above that established safe level. Although to date, we have not established a safe level for a residue from the extralabel use of any new animal drug, and therefore have not required the development of analytical methodology, we believe that there may be instances when analytical methodology will be required. We are, therefore, estimating the reporting burden based on two methods being required annually. The requirement to establish an analytical method may be fulfilled by any interested person. We believe that the sponsor of the drug will be willing to develop the method in most cases. Alternatively, FDA, the sponsor, and perhaps a third party may cooperatively arrange for method development. The respondents may be sponsors of new animal drugs, State or Federal government, or individuals. In the

                     of May 3, 2005 (70 FR 22884), the agency published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the collection of information. No comments were received. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: **Table 1.—Estimated Annual Reporting Burden**1

 The Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) has not found circumstances to require the establishment of a safe level and subsequent development of an analytical methodology. However, CVM believes there will be instances when an analytical methodology will be required. Dated: September 22, 2005. Jeffrey Shuren, Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
