Animal Drug User Fee Act of 2003

The Act

The Animal Drug User Fee Act of 2003 (ADUFA), amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and authorizes FDA to collect fees for certain applications and establishments, products and sponsors of those applications in support of the review of animal drugs. These additional resources will support FDA's responsibilities under the Act to ensure that new animal drug products are safe and effective for animals as well as human consumers with respect to animals intended for food consumption.

This program is similar to the very successful program for human drugs that have been in place for over ten years. Like the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, and the recently enacted Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act, this legislation will help FDA expedite and improve its review of applications for new animal drugs so that safe and effective new products will be available more quickly.
