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.

Medicated Feed Mill Licensing Application--21 CFR Part 515 (OMB Control 
Number 0910-0337)--Extension

    The Animal Drug Availability Act (ADAA) of October 9, 1996, amended 
section 512 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 
360b) to replace the system for the approval of specific medicated feed 
with a general licensing system for feed mills. Before passage of the 
ADAA, medicated feed manufacturers were required to obtain approval of 
Medicated Feed Applications (MFAs) in order to manufacture certain 
types of medicated feeds. An individual approved MFA was required for 
each and every applicable medicated feed. The ADAA streamlined the 
paperwork process for gaining approval to manufacture medicated feeds 
by replacing the MFA system with a facility license for each medicated 
feed manufacturing facility. Implementing regulations are at 21 CFR 
part 515.
    In the Federal Register of December 21, 2012 (77 FR 75635), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. One comment was received; however, it was 
unrelated to the information collection.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    Estimated annual reporting burden on industry is 29 hours as shown 
in table 1. Industry estimates it takes about 15 minutes (0.25) to 
submit the application. We estimate 100 original and supplemental 
applications, and voluntary revocations for a total of 25 hours (100 
submissions x 0.25 (15 minutes)). An additional 4 hours is added for 
the rare notice of opportunity for a hearing to not approve or revoke 
an application. Finally, we estimate 28.5 hours for maintaining and 
retrieving labels as required by 21 CFR 510.305. We estimated 2 minutes 
(0.03 hour) for each of approximately 950 licensees. Total burden for 
reporting and recordkeeping would be 57.5 hours.
