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 License Application--(OMB Control No. 0910-0337)--
Extension

    The Animal Drug Availability Act (ADAA) of October 9, 1996, amended 
section 512 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the 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.
    In the Federal Register of October 28, 2009 (74 FR 55556), 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:

    The estimated annual reporting burden on industry is 37.35 hours as 
shown in table 1 of this document. Industry estimates it takes about 1/
4 hour to submit the application. We estimate 135 original and 
supplemental applications, and voluntary revocations for a total of 
33.75 hours (135 submissions x 1/4 hour). An additional 3.6 hours is 
added for the rare notice of opportunity for a hearing to not approve 
or revoke an application. Finally, we estimate 30 hours for maintaining 
and retrieving labels as required by 21 CFR 510.305 and shown in table 
2 of this document. We estimated .03 hours for each of approximately 
1,000 licensees. Thus, the total annual burden for reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements is estimated be 67.35 hours.

Acting Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Planning and Budget.
