SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of May 19, 2015 (80 FR 28622), FDA 
published a notice with a 90-day nomination period for the list of bulk 
drug substances that may be used by a facility registered as an 
outsourcing facility under section 503B of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 
353B) to compound drugs for use in animals in accordance with FDA's 
draft GFI #230, ``Compounding Animal Drugs from Bulk Drug Substances.'' 
That notice describes the information that should be provided to the 
FDA in support of each nomination.
    FDA has received a request for a 90-day extension of the nomination 
period as the requestor wanted more time to nominate drugs to the list 
and to provide supporting data. FDA has considered the request and is 
extending the nomination period for 90 days, until November 16, 2015. 
The FDA believes that a 90-day extension allows adequate time for 
interested persons to submit nominations without significantly delaying 
consideration of these nominations.

II. Nomination Process

    The process for nominations for bulk drug substances that may be 
used by facilities registered as outsourcing facilities under section 
503B of the FD&C Act to compound animal drugs from bulk drug substances 
is described in the previous notice published May 19, 2015. FDA cannot 
guarantee that all drugs nominated during the nomination period will be 
considered for initial inclusion in Appendix A at the time of its 
initial publication. Nominations submitted during the nomination period 
(ending on November 16, 2015) that are not evaluated and included in 
Appendix A at the time of its initial publication will receive 
consideration for later addition to Appendix A. In addition, 
individuals and organizations may petition FDA, in accordance with 21 
CFR 10.30, to make additional amendments to Appendix A after the 
nomination period.

III. Request for Nominations

    Interested persons may submit either electronic nominations to 
http://www.regulations.gov or written nominations to the Division of 
Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to send one 
set of nominations. Identify nominations with the docket number found 
in brackets in the heading of this document. Received nominations may 
be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 
p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to the docket at http://www.regulations.gov.
