Guidance for Industry on How to Use E-Mail to Submit a Request for a 
Meeting or Teleconference in Electronic Format to the Center for 
Veterinary Medicine--(OMB Control Number 0910-0452)--Extension

    CVM holds meetings and/or teleconferences when a sponsor requests a 
presubmission conference under 21 CFR 514.5, or requests a meeting to 
discuss general questions. Generally, meeting requests are submitted to 
CVM on paper. However, CVM now allows registered sponsors to submit 
information electronically, and to request meetings electronically, if 
they determine this is more efficient and time saving for them. CVM's 
guidance on ``How to Submit a Request for a Meeting or Teleconference 
in Electronic Format to CVM,'' provides sponsors with the option to 
submit a request for a meeting or teleconference as an e-mail 
attachment by the Internet. The likely respondents are sponsors for new 
animal drug applications.
    In the Federal Register of February 5, 2010 (75 FR 6035), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information.
    In response, two comments were received. One comment was completely 
outside the scope of the notice and the other requested that FDA meet 
openly with industry rather than closed sessions. Neither comment 
addressed the paperwork involved in the information collection.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

                                 Table 1.--Estimated Annual Reporting Burden\1\

    The number of respondents in table 1 of this document is the number 
of sponsors registered to make electronic submissions (40). The number 
of total annual responses is based on a review of the actual number of 
such submissions made between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2008 
(96 x hours per response (.08) = 7.7 total hours).

    Dated: May 10, 2010.
