A BILL
To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that—
(1) the new animal drug approval process has
been proceeding too slowly, with the result that nec-
essary and useful drug therapies are being kept from
the marketplace;
(2) the lack of drug approvals for new animal
drugs places the health and well-being of animals at
risk;
(3) the expense and delays caused by effective-
ness testing for new animal drugs have begun to
outweigh the benefits of such testing;
(4) the overreliance on field investigations to es-
tablish the effectiveness of new animal drugs is a
