inor use drugs are drugs for use in major species (cattle, horses, swine, chickens, turkeys, dogs, and cats) that are needed for diseases that occur in only a small number of animals annually either because they occur infrequently or in limited geographic areas. Minor species are all animals other than humans that are not major species, for example, zoo animals, ornamental fish, parrots, ferrets, and guinea pigs. Some animals of agricultural importance are also minor species. These include animals such as sheep, goats, catfish, and honey bees. Participation in the MUMS program is completely optional for drug sponsors so the associated paperwork only applies to those sponsors who request and are subsequently granted ‘‘MUMS designation.’’ The rule specifies the criteria and procedures for requesting MUMS designation as well as the annual reporting requirements for MUMS designees.
