HR-1418 : Still Just a Bill


Animal Drug User Fee Amendments of 2023

This bill reauthorizes the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to collect fees for brand-name and generic animal drug applications through FY2028. It also makes related updates to fee calculations and FDA reporting requirements.

The bill also provides for a specific fee for requests to establish generic investigational new animal drug files and requires other application fees to be adjusted accordingly.

Animal drugs are drugs that are intended for animals other than humans (e.g., pets and livestock). Animal drugs must be approved by the FDA before they may be offered on the commercial market. The FDA is authorized to collect fees for animal drug applications in order to support its regulatory activities; this authority currently expires at the end of FY2023.
