SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

Animal Drug User Fee Cover Sheet; FDA Form 3546; 21 U.S.C. 379j-12; 
(OMB Control Number: 0910-0539)--Extension

    Under Section 740 of the act, as amended by ADUFA (21 U.S.C. 379j-
12), FDA has the authority to assess and collect for certain animal 
drug user fees. Because the submission of user fees concurrently with 
applications and supplements is required, review of an application 
cannot begin until the fee is submitted. The types of fees that require 
a cover sheet, are certain animal drug application fees and certain 
supplemental animal drug application fees. The cover sheet FDA Form 
3546, is designed to provide the minimum necessary information to 
determine whether a fee is required for the review of an application or 
supplement, to determine the amount of the fee required, and to assure 
that each animal drug user fee payment and each animal drug application 
for which payment is made, is appropriately linked to that payment. The 
form, when completed electronically, will result in the generation of a 
unique payment identification number used for tracking the payment. FDA 
will use the information collected to initiate administrative screening 
of new animal drug applications and supplements to determine if payment 
has been received.
    In a Federal Register of June 15, 2007 (72 FR 33231), FDA published 
a 60-day notice soliciting public comment on the proposed collection of 
information provisions. In response to that notice, no comments were 
received.
    Respondents to this collection of information are new animal drug 
sponsors applicants or manufacturers.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
