SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), Federal 
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. 
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of 
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a 
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) 
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal 
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including 
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, 
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with 
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection 
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA 
invites comments on these topics: (1) whether the proposed collection 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's 
functions, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when 
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Records and Reports Concerning Experiences With Approved New Animal 
Drugs: Adverse Event Reports

OMB Control Number 0910-0284--Extension

    This information collection supports statutory and regulatory 
requirements governing reporting associated with certain animal drug 
products. With regard to adverse events and product/manufacturing 
defects associated with approved new animal drugs, section 512(l) of 
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360b(l)) 
requires applicants with approved new animal drug applications (NADAs) 
and abbreviated new animal drug applications (ANADAs) to establish and 
maintain records and reports of data relating to experience with uses 
of such drug, or with respect to animal feeds bearing or containing 
such drug, to facilitate a determination under section 512(e) as to 
whether there may be grounds for suspending or withdrawing approval of 
the NADA or ANADA under section 512(e) or 512(m)(4).
    In 2020, FDA amended Sec.  514.80 (21 CFR 514.80) to require 
electronic submission of certain postmarketing safety reports for 
approved new animal drugs and to provide a procedure for requesting a 
temporary waiver of the requirement. We, therefore, retain use of 
certain paper-based forms. Section 514.80 requires applicants and 
nonapplicants to keep records of and report to us data, studies, and 
other information concerning experience with new animal drugs for each 
approved NADA and ANADA. Following complaints from animal owners or 
veterinarians, or following their own detection of a problem, 
applicants or nonapplicants are required to submit adverse event 
reports and product/manufacturing defect reports under Sec.  
514.80(b)(1), (b)(2)(i) and (ii), (b)(3), and (b)(4)(iv)(A) and (C) on 
Form FDA 1932.
    The information collection includes electronic submission of 
adverse event reports and product/manufacturing defect reports under 
Sec.  514.80(b)(1), (b)(2)(i) and (ii), (b)(3), and (b)(4)(iv)(A) and 
(C) using Form FDA 1932.
    The information collection also includes submissions under Sec.  
514.80(d)(2), by an applicant or nonapplicant requesting, in writing, a 
temporary waiver of the electronic submission requirements. The initial 
request may be by telephone or email to CVM's Division of 
Pharmacovigilance and Surveillance, with prompt written follow-up 
submitted as a letter to the application(s). FDA will grant waivers

[[Page 78696]]

on a limited basis for good cause shown. If FDA grants a waiver, the 
applicant or nonapplicant must comply with the conditions for reporting 
specified by FDA upon granting the waiver.
    Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of 
information are applicants and nonapplicants as defined in 21 CFR 
514.3. Respondents include individuals and the private sector (for-
profit businesses).
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
