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.
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 part 515 (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.
FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

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.
