SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of September 15, 2017 (82 FR 43381), FDA 
published the notice of availability for a draft guidance entitled 
``The Index of Legally Marketed Unapproved New Animal Drugs for Minor 
Species'' giving interested persons until November 14, 2017, to comment 
on the draft guidance. FDA received several comments on the draft 
guidance and those comments were considered as the guidance was 
finalized. Editorial changes were made to improve clarity. The guidance 
announced in this notice finalizes the draft guidance dated September 
2017. The Index consists of a list of legally marketed unapproved new 
animal drugs for minor species that meet the requirements of section 
572 of the FD&C Act.
