## Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its regulations to reclassify sheep as a minor species for all data collection purposes. This reclassification will allow sponsors of new animal drug applications (NADA's) to extrapolate human food safety data from a major species such as cattle to sheep. In particular, this will enable the extrapolation of the tolerances for residues of new animal drugs in cattle to sheep.
