Explanation of Reporting Burden 

Estimate 

The burden captured in table 1 for 

this document for each of these 

responses is based on the data available 

in FDA’s internal tracking system for 

2009. There was not an internal tracking 

system prior to 2009. 

Sections 822.26, 822.27, and 822.34 

do not constitute information collection 

subject to review under the PRA 

because ‘‘it entails no burden other than 

that necessary to identify the 

respondent, the date, the respondent’s 

address, and the nature of the 

instrument.’’ (5 CFR 1320.3(h)(1)). 

Explanation of Recordkeeping Burden 

Estimate 

FDA expects that at least some of the 

manufacturers will be able to satisfy the 

PS requirement using information or 

data they already have. For purposes of 

calculating burden, however, FDA has 

assumed that each PS order can only be 

satisfied by a 3-year clinically-based 

surveillance plan, using three 

investigators. These estimates are based 

on FDA’s knowledge and experience 

with limited implementation of section 

522 under the Safe Medical Devices Act. 

Therefore, FDA would expect that the 

recordkeeping requirements would 

apply to a maximum of 21 

manufacturers (3 to 4 added each year) 

and 30 investigators (3 per surveillance 

plan). After 3 years, FDA would expect 

these numbers to remain level as the 

surveillance plans conducted under the 

earliest orders reach completion and 

new orders are issued.

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension of an existing collection of 

information, and to allow 60 days for 

public comment in response to the 

notice. This notice solicits comments on 

the reporting requirements for the 

information collection activity ‘‘How to 

Submit a Notice of Final Disposition of 

Investigational Animals Not Intended 

for Immediate Slaughter In Electronic 

Format to the Center for Veterinary 

Medicine.’’ 

DATES: Submit written or electronic 

comments on the collection of 

information by April 6, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic 

comments on the collection of 

information to http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 

44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) 

and includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies 

to provide a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, FDA is publishing notice 

of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, FDA invites 

comments on these topics: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of FDA’s functions, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques, 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology.

Guidance for Industry on How to 

Submit a Notice of Final Disposition of 

Investigational Animals Not Intended 

for Immediate Slaughter in Electronic 

Format to the Center for Veterinary 

Medicine—21 CFR 514.117(b)(2) and 21 

CFR 511.1(b)(5); (OMB Control Number 

0910–0453)—Extension 

The Center for Veterinary Medicine 

(CVM) monitors the final disposition of 

investigational animals where such 

animals do not enter the human food 

chain immediately at the completion of 

an investigational study. CVM’s 

monitoring of the final disposition of 

investigational food animals is intended 

to ensure that unsafe residues of new 

animal drugs do not get into the food 

supply. CVM issues a slaughter 

authorization letter to investigational 

new animal drug (INAD) sponsors that 

sets the terms under which 

investigational animals may be 

slaughtered (21 CFR 511.1(b)(5)). Also 

in the letter, CVM requests that sponsors 

submit a notice of final disposition of 

investigational animals (NFDA) not 

intended for immediate slaughter. 

NFDAs have historically been submitted 

to CVM on paper. CVM’s guidance 

entitled ‘‘How to Submit a Notice of 

Final Disposition of Investigational 

Animals Not Intended for Immediate 

Slaughter in Electronic Format to CVM,’’ 

provides sponsors with an option to 

submit an NFDA as an e-mail 

attachment to CVM via the Internet. 

The likely respondents are INAD 

sponsors. 

FDA estimates the burden of this 

collection of information as follows:

The number of respondents in table 1 

of this document are the number of 

sponsors registered to make electronic 

submissions (40). The number of total 

annual responses is based on a review 

of the actual number of such 

submissions made between January 1, 

2008, and December 31, 2008. Thus, 

FDA estimates the total reporting 

burden at 1.3 hours (16 x .08 = 1.3 total 

hours).
