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

[[Page 72811]]

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.

Animal Drug User Fee Cover Sheet--OMB Control Number 0910-0539--
Extension

    Under section 740 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the 
FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 379j-12), FDA has the authority to assess and 
collect application fees from each person who submits certain new 
animal drug applications or certain supplemental animal drug 
applications. The Animal Drug User Fee cover sheet (Form FDA 3546) is 
designed to collect the minimum necessary information to determine 
whether a fee is required for the review of an application or 
supplement or whether an application fee waiver was granted, to 
determine the amount of the fee required, and to assure that each 
animal drug user fee payment is appropriately linked to the animal drug 
application for which payment is made. The form, when completed 
electronically, will result in the generation of a unique payment 
identification number used by FDA to track the payment. FDA's Center 
for Veterinary Medicine and FDA's Office of Management will use the 
information collected to initiate the administrative screening of new 
animal drug applications and supplements to determine whether the 
payment has been received.
    Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of 
information are new animal drug applicants.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    The estimates in table 1 are based on our experience with new 
animal drug applications and supplemental animal drug applications and 
the average number of Animal Drug User Fee cover sheets submitted 
during fiscal years 2013-2015. We estimate 21 respondents will each 
submit a cover sheet (Form FDA 3546), for a total of 21 responses. We 
calculate a reporting burden of 1 hour per response, for a total of 21 
hours.
