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.

Form FDA 3728, Animal Generic Drug User Fee Act Cover Sheet--21 U.S.C. 
379j-21 (OMB Control Number 0910-0632)--Extension

    Section 741 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) 
(21 U.S.C. 379j-21) establishes three different kinds of user fees: (1) 
Fees for certain types of abbreviated applications for generic new 
animal drugs, (2) annual fees for certain generic new animal drug 
products, and (3) annual fees for certain sponsors of abbreviated 
applications for generic new animal drugs and/or investigational 
submissions for generic new animal drugs (21 U.S.C. 379j-21(a)). 
Because the submission of user fees concurrent with applications is 
required, the review of an application cannot begin until the fee is 
submitted. Form FDA 3728 is the Animal Generic Drug User Fee Act 
(AGDUFA) Cover Sheet, which is designed to provide the minimum 
necessary information to determine whether a fee is required for review 
of an application, to determine the amount of the fee required, and to 
account for and track user fees.
    In the Federal Register of October 5, 2011 (76 FR 61709), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    Respondents to this collection of information are generic animal 
drug applicants. Based on FDA's database system, there are an estimated 
20 sponsors of new animal drugs potentially subject to AGDUFA.
