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 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 (the 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 concurrent submission of user fees 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 collect 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. The form, when 
completed electronically, will result in the generation of a unique 
payment identification number used by FDA to track the payment. It will 
be used by FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine and FDA's Office of 
Financial Management to initiate the administrative screening of new 
generic animal drug applications to determine if payment has been 
received.
    In the Federal Register of September 2, 2016 (81 FR 60707), 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 new generic 
animal drug applicants. Based on Agency data for the past 3 years, FDA 
estimates there are approximately 40 submissions annually and a total 
of 3.2 burden hours. The burden for this information collection has not 
changed since the last OMB approval.
