        application fees, supplemental animal drug application fees,

                in subsection (b), as adjusted for inflation under 
                paragraph (2).

        Secretary may, in addition to other adjustments under this 
        subsection, further increase the fees under this section, if 
        such an adjustment is necessary to provide for up to 3 months 
        of operating reserves of carryover user fees for the process 
        for the review of animal drug applications for the first 3 
        months of fiscal year 2019. If the Food and Drug Administration 
        has carryover balances for the process for the review of animal 
        drug applications in excess of 3 months of such operating 
        reserves, then this adjustment will not be made. If this 
        adjustment is necessary, then the rationale for the amount of 
        the increase shall be contained in the annual notice setting

                `small business' means an entity that has fewer than 
                500 employees, including employees of affiliates.

                business or its affiliate submits to the Secretary for 
                review. After a small business or its affiliate is 
                granted such a waiver, the small business or its 
                affiliate shall pay application fees for all subsequent

                required in the same manner as an entity that does not 
                qualify as a small business.

                any person who applies for a waiver under paragraph 
                (1)(E) to certify their qualification for the waiver.

                Register a list of persons making such certifications.
    ``(e) Effect of Failure To Pay Fees.--An animal drug application or 
supplemental animal drug application submitted by a person subject to 
fees under subsection (a) shall be considered incomplete and shall not 
be accepted for filing by the Secretary until all fees owed by such 
person have been paid. An investigational animal drug submission under 
section 739(5)(B) that is submitted by a person subject to fees under 
subsection (a) shall be considered incomplete and shall not be accepted 
for review by the Secretary until all fees owed by such person have 
been paid. The Secretary may discontinue review of any animal drug 
application, supplemental animal drug application, or investigational 
animal drug submission from a person if such person has not submitted 
for payment all fees owed under this section by 30 days after the date 
upon which they are due.

        salaries and expenses of the Food and Drug Administration for 
        the fiscal year 2003 (excluding the amount of fees appropriated

        year the Secretary may assess such fees, the Secretary may 
        assess and collect such fees, without any modification in the
