TSCRA Daily News Update, July 18, 2008
House Energy and Commerce committee approves ADUFA On Wednesday, July 16, the full House and Energy committee marked up both the Animal Drug User Fee Amendments of 2008 (ADUFA) and the Animal Generic Drug User Fee Amendments of 2008 (AGDUFA). These bills will allow for the continuation of both ADUFA and AGDUFA, as they are set to sunset as of September, 2008. NCBA was monitoring this hearing for the possible inclusion of language prohibiting the use of antibiotics in animal feed. NCBA is pleased that the final bill that was voted out by the committee, did not contain this language. Both ADUFA and AGDUFA are important to the animal agriculture industry as they help get needed medical provisions to cattle producers. NCBA will continue to watch this legislation as it moves to the House floor.
