The Animal Medicinal Drug Use
Clarification Act of 1994 (AMDUCA), amended the FD&C Act to
allow licensed veterinarians to prescribe extralabel uses in
animals of approved drugs. Under AMDUCA, FDA may establish by
regulation or order a safe residue level for an extralabel use and
may require development of an analytical method for residue
detection if it finds there is a resonable probability of a risk to
public health. Respondents to the collection, therefore, are
private drug sponsors, veterinarian associations, veterinarians, or
individuals submitting an analytical method for the quantification
of residues for consideration by the agency.
