Medicated Feed Mill License Application

OMB Control Number 0910-0337--Extension

    This information collection helps support implementation of 
statutory and regulatory provisions related to medicated animal feed 
mill licensing. 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 (Sec.  515.10(b) (21 
CFR 515.10(b))). This form may be submitted via U.S. mail or 
electronically to a dedicated email address, 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#5b163e3f32383a2f3e3f1d3e3e3f280f3e3a36163a32371b3d3f3a75333328753c342d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1b567e7f72787a6f7e7f5d7e7e7f684f7e7a76567a72775b7d7f7a35737368357c746d">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. 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. Form FDA 3448 may be accessed on our website 
at: https://

[[Page 18680]]

www.fda.gov/about-fda/reports-manuals-forms/forms.
    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 November 29, 2024 (89 FR 94740), 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:

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.

    We estimate that respondents will spend 15 minutes to assemble the 
necessary information, prepare, and submit an application for a feed 
mill license or revocation of a feed mill license. We estimate that 
respondents will spend 4 hours to prepare their request for a hearing.

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.

    We base our estimates on our recent experience with the existing 
medicated feed mill license application process. Our estimated burden 
for the information collection reflects an overall increase of 2.5 
hours. We attribute this adjustment to a slight increase in the overall 
number of submissions we received over the last few years.

    Dated: April 24, 2025.

Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Legislation, and International Affairs.
