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.

Extralabel Drug Use for Animals--21 CFR 530

OMB Control Number 0910-0325--Extension

    The Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 
103-396) allows a veterinarian to prescribe the extralabel use of 
approved new animal drugs. Also, it permits FDA, if it finds that there 
is a reasonable probability that the extralabel use of an animal drug 
may prevent the risk to the public health, to establish a safe level 
for a residue from the extralabel use of the drug and to require the 
development of an analytical method for the detection of residues above 
that established safe level (21 CFR 530.22(b)). Although to date, we 
have not established a safe level for a residue from the extralabel use 
of any new animal drug and, therefore, have not required the 
development of analytical methodology, we believe that there may be 
instances when analytical methodology will be required. We are, 
therefore, estimating the reporting burden based on two methods being 
required annually. The requirement to establish an analytical method 
may be fulfilled by any interested person. We believe that the sponsor 
of the drug will be willing to develop the method in most cases. 
Alternatively, FDA, the sponsor, and perhaps a third party may 
cooperatively arrange for method development. The respondents may be 
sponsors of new animal drugs; State, Federal, and/or State Agencies; 
academia; or individuals.
    In the Federal Register of August 6, 2020 (85 FR 47794), we 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. One comment was received but was not 
responsive to topics solicited regarding the information collection.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

                                                     Table 1--Estimated Annual Reporting Burden \1\

request for OMB approval, we have made no adjustments to our burden 
estimate.
