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--21 CFR Part 515

OMB Control Number 0910-0337--Extension

    Feed manufacturers that seek to manufacture a Type B or Type C 
medicated feed using Category II, Type A medicated articles or 
manufacture certain liquid and free-choice feed using Category I, Type 
A medicated articles that must follow proprietary formulas or 
specifications, are required to obtain a facility license under section 
512 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 
360b). Our regulations in 21 CFR part 515 establish the procedures 
associated with applying for a facility license. We require that a 
manufacturer seeking a facility license submit a completed medicated 
feed mill license application using Form FDA 3448 (21 CFR 515.10(b)). 
We use the information submitted to establish that the applicant has 
made the certifications required by section 512 of the FD&C Act, to 
register the mill and to schedule a preapproval inspection.
    We require the submission of a supplemental medicated feed mill 
license application for a change in facility ownership or a change in 
facility address (Sec.  515.11(b) (21 CFR 515.11(b))). If a licensed 
facility is no longer manufacturing medicated animal feed under Sec.  
515.23 (21 CFR 515.23), a manufacturer may request voluntary revocation 
of a medicated feed mill license. An applicant also has the right to 
file a request for hearing under Sec.  515.30(c) (21 CFR 515.30(c)) to 
give reasons why a medicated feed mill license should not be refused or 
revoked.
    Under Sec.  510.305 (21 CFR 510.305) we require each applicant to 
maintain in a single accessible location: (a) A copy of the approved 
medicated feed mill license (Form FDA 3448) on the premises of the 
manufacturing establishment; and (b) approved or index listed labeling 
for each Type B and/or Type C feed being manufactured on the premises 
of the manufacturing establishment or the facility where the feed 
labels are generated.
    In the Federal Register of January 28, 2022 (87 FR 4620), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. Although two comments were received, the 
comments were not responsive to the four collection of information 
topics solicited.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an 
overall decrease of 17 hours and a corresponding decrease of 105 
responses/records. We attribute this adjustment to a decrease in the 
number of submissions we received over the last few years.
