House of Representatives approves ADUFA

On Thursday July 31, Congress passed the Animal Drug User Fee Amendment of 2008 (ADUFA) into law. ADUFA authorizes FDA to collect fees for certain animal drug applications, which supports FDA's ability to ensure that new animal drug products are safe and effective.

This bill provides for the continuation of ADUFA, which is set to sunset as of September 2008.

NCBA worked to ensure that the legislation did not contain language banning the use of antibiotics in animal feed, and was pleased that the final legislation did not include that prohibition.
