SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In compliance with section 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance.

Medicated Feed Mill License 21 CFR Part 515—(OMB Control Number 0910-0337)—Extension

Description: This rule sets forth the information to be included in a medicated feed mill license application and subsequent supplemental applications. In addition, it provides criteria for the approval and nonapproval of a medicated feed mill license application and the criteria for the revocation and/or suspension of a license. More specifically, § 515.10(b) specifies requirements for submitting a completed medicated feed mill license application, using Form FDA 3448. Section 515.11(b) specifies requirements for supplemental medicated feed applications for a change in ownership and/or a change in mailing address for the facility cite, using Form FDA 3448. Section 515.23 sets forth written requirements for voluntary revocation of a medicated feed mill license by a sponsor on the grounds that the facility no longer manufacture any animal feed. Section 515.30(c) details requirements for filing a request for a hearing by a sponsor to give reasons why a medicated feed mill license application should not be refused or revoked and § 510.305(b) (21 CFR 510.305 (b)), requires maintenance of approved labeling for each Type B and/or Type C medicated feed being manufactured on the premises of the manufacturing establishment or the facility where the feed labels are generated.

Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of information are individuals or firms that manufacture medicated animal feed. In the Federal Register of July 26, 2000 (65 FR 45987), FDA published a 60-day notice concerning the proposed extension of this collection of information and requested comments. In response to this notice, no comments were received on the estimated annual reporting and recordkeeping burden. We therefore believe that the total burden estimate of 72 hours for the annual reporting and recordkeeping burden should remain unchanged.

FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows:

The estimate for the number of respondents is derived from agency data, i.e. the number of medicated feed manufacturers entering the market each year, change in ownership or address, requests for voluntary revocation of a medicated feed mill license, revocation and/or suspension of a license. The estimate of the time required for the reporting and recordkeeping requirements is based on the agency communication with industry.
