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.

Abbreviated New Animal Drug Applications--Sections (b)(2) and (n)(1) of 
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(b)(2) and 
(n)(1))--OMB Control Number 0910-0669--Extension

    Under section 512(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
(the FD&C Act), any person may file an abbreviated new animal drug 
application (ANADA) seeking approval of a generic copy of an approved 
new animal drug. The information required to be submitted as part of an 
ANADA is described in section 512(n)(1) of the FD&C Act. Among other 
things, an ANADA is required to contain information to show that the 
proposed generic drug is bioequivalent to, and has the same labeling 
as, the approved new animal drug. We use the information submitted, 
among other things, to assess bioequivalence to the originally approved 
drug and thus, the safety and effectiveness of the generic new animal 
drug. We allow applicants to submit a complete ANADA or to submit 
information in support of an ANADA for phased review. Applicants may 
submit Form FDA 356v with a complete ANADA or a phased review 
submission to ensure efficient and accurate processing of information.
    In the Federal Register of May 11, 2016 (81 FR 29273), 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.

    We base our estimates on our experience with ANADA submissions and 
requests for phased review. We estimate that we will receive 21 ANADA 
submissions per year over the next three years and that three of those 
submissions will request phased review. We estimate that each applicant 
that uses the phased review process will have approximately five phased 
reviews per application. We estimate that an applicant will take 
approximately 159 hours to prepare either an ANADA or the estimated 5 
ANADA phased review submissions and the administrative ANADA.

    Dated: August 26, 2016.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.
