SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The authority for AGDUFA expires September 30, 2018. Without new 
legislation, FDA will no longer have the authority to collect user fees 
to fund the generic new animal drug review process. Prior to beginning 
negotiations with the regulated industry on AGDUFA reauthorization, 
section 740A(d)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the 
FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 379j-13(d)(2)) requires FDA to: (1) Publish a 
notice in the Federal Register requesting public input on the 
reauthorization; (2) hold a public meeting at which the public may 
present its views on the reauthorization including specific suggestions 
for changes to the goals referred in section 740A(a) of FD&C Act; (3) 
provide a period of 30 days after the public meeting to obtain written 
comments from the public suggesting changes; and (4) publish the 
comments on FDA's Web site. FDA is holding a public meeting to gather 
information on what FDA should consider including in the 
reauthorization of AGDUFA. FDA is interested in responses from the 
public on the following two general questions and welcomes other 
pertinent information that stakeholders would like to share:
    1. What is your assessment of the overall performance of the AGDUFA 
program thus far?
    2. What aspects of AGDUFA should be retained, changed, or 
discontinued to further strengthen and improve the program?
    The following information is provided to help potential meeting 
participants better understand the history and evolution of AGDUFA and 
its current status.

II. Background

    The Animal Generic Drug User Fee Act enacted in 2008 (Pub. L. 110-
316; hereinafter referred to as ``AGDUFA I'') amended the FD&C Act to 
authorize FDA's first ever generic new animal drug user fee program. 
AGDUFA I provided FDA with additional funds to enhance the performance 
of the generic new animal drug review process. Furthermore, the 
authorization of AGDUFA I enabled FDA's continued assurance that 
generic new animal drug products are safe and effective, and enabled 
FDA's continued support for lower-cost alternatives to brand drugs for 
consumers. Under AGDUFA I, FDA agreed to meet review performance goals 
for certain submissions over 5 years from fiscal year (FY) 2009 through 
FY 2013. These review performance goals strive to expedite the review 
of abbreviated new animal drug applications (ANADAs) and reactivations, 
supplemental ANADAs, and generic investigational new animal drug 
(JINAD) submissions.
    Under AGDUFA I, the industry agreed to pay user fees that are 
available to FDA, in addition to appropriated funds, to spend on the 
generic new animal drug review process. Moreover, FDA's authority to 
collect user fees is contingent on a certain level of spending from 
appropriated funds, as adjusted for inflation.
    AGDUFA I established increasingly stringent review performance 
goals over a 5-year period from FY 2009 through FY 2013. By the 5th and 
final year of AGDUFA I, FDA agreed to review and act on 90 percent of 
the following submission types within the specified timeframes:
     Original ANADAs and reactivations within 270 days of the 
submission date.
     Administrative ANADAs (ANADAs submitted after all 
scientific decisions have been made during the JINAD process, i.e., 
prior to the submission of the original ANADAs) within 100 days after 
the submission date.
     Manufacturing supplemental ANADAs and reactivations within 
270 days after the submission date.
     JINAD study submissions within 270 days after the 
submission date.
     JINAD protocol submissions within 100 days after 
submission date. JINAD protocol submissions consist of protocols 
without substantial data that FDA and the sponsor consider to be an 
essential part of the basis to make the decision to approve or not 
approve an ANADA or supplemental ANADA.
    The additional resources provided under AGDUFA I enabled FDA to 
completely eliminate the backlog of ANADA and JINAD submissions by 
August 2010.
    In 2013, before AGDUFA I expired, Congress passed the Animal 
Generic Drug User Fee Amendments of 2013 (Pub. L. 113-14; hereinafter 
referred to as ``AGDUFA II'') which included an extension of AGDUFA for 
an additional 5 years (FY 2014 to FY 2018). AGDUFA II is maintaining 
the AGDUFA I performance goals regarding work queue procedures, timely 
meetings with industry, review of administrative ANADAs, review of 
protocols without substantial data, and amending similar applications 
and submissions. In addition, FDA agreed to the following program 
enhancements to further improve review processes:
     Developing a shortened review time process for certain 
ANADA and JINAD submissions.
     Permitting certain prior approval manufacturing 
supplements to be resubmitted as ``Supplement-Changes Being Effected in 
30 days.''
     Developing guidance for a two-phased Chemistry 
Manufacturing and Controls technical section submission and review 
process under the JINAD file.
     Permitting comparability protocols to be submitted as 
protocols without substantial data in a JINAD file.
     Improving timeliness and predictability of foreign pre-
approval inspections.
     Developing and implementing a question-based review 
process for the bioequivalence submissions.
    FDA has published a number of reports that provide useful 
background on AGDUFA I and AGDUFA II. AGDUFA-related Federal Register 
notices, guidances, legislation, performance reports, and financial 
reports and plans can be found at: http://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/UserFees/AnimalGenericDrugUserFeeActAGDUFA/default.htm.

III. Meeting Information

A. Meeting Format

    In general, the meeting format will include presentations by FDA 
followed by an open public comment period. Registered speakers for the 
open public comments will be grouped and scheduled in advance of the 
meeting based on their affiliation (scientific and academic experts/
veterinary professionals, representatives of consumer advocacy groups, 
and the regulated industry) and timing of their registration. FDA 
presentations are planned from 1 p.m. until 2 p.m. The open public 
comment portion of the meeting for registered and scheduled speakers is 
planned to begin at 2 p.m. An opportunity for additional open public 
comments from meeting attendees will commence following the registered 
presentations, if time permits.
    FDA policy issues are beyond the scope of these reauthorization 
discussions. Accordingly, the presentations should focus on process 
enhancements and funding issues, not on policy issues.

B. Meeting Questions

    Please consider the following questions for this meeting:
    1. What is your assessment of the overall performance of the AGDUFA 
program thus far?
    2. What aspects of AGDUFA should be retained, changed, or 
discontinued to further strengthen and improve the program?

Early registration is recommended since seating is limited. FDA may 
limit the number of participants from each organization based on space
