The FDA has published a request in the Federal Register for public comments on how to implement various categories of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act law. You can still voice your thoughts to the FDA on many categories, including federal, state and local government collaboration, new product submission and approval, prevention, research and testing, products with “reduced harm/risk” claims, advertising and marketing of tobacco products, label statements and warnings (including graphic warnings), and more.
The formal request and full details of all categories open for comment can be viewed at www.regulations.gov by entering the Docket number (FDA-2009-N-0294) into the search box, then clicking “Notices” from the left side of the screen. Once the next screen is viewable, an option for viewing the Federal Register document of the FDA’s request for comments or the option for adding comments are both available. You can also view what others have contributed in comments so far.
Submitting your comments is one way you can still make sure you are doing your part to help sustain your livelihood and support your fellow members of the tobacco industry.
If you would rather submit written comments than electronic, they can be mailed to the FDA at the address below and be sure to include the docket number (FDA-2009-N-0294) on all correspondence and comments. Submissions must be in by Sept. 22, 2009.
