Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 125 / Wednesday, July 1, 2009 / Notices
million adults smoke cigarettes in the
United States, even though this behavior
will result in death or disability for half
of all regular users. Paralleling this
enormous health burden is the
economic burden of tobacco use, which
is estimated to total $193 billion
annually in medical expenditures and
lost productivity. Curbing the
significant adverse consequences of
tobacco use is one of the most important
public health goals of our time.
On June 22, 2009, the President
signed H.R. 1256, the Family Smoking
Prevention and Tobacco Control Act,
into law. The Family Smoking
Prevention and Tobacco Control Act
grants FDA important new authority to
regulate the manufacture, marketing,
and distribution of tobacco products to
protect the public health generally and
to reduce tobacco use by minors. The
Family Smoking Prevention and
Tobacco Control Act authorizes FDA to
require disclosure of tobacco product
ingredients and additives; regulate
‘‘modified risk’’ tobacco products; create
standards for tobacco products,
including standards for the reduction or
elimination of certain constituents;
restrict sales, distribution, advertising,
and promotion of tobacco products; and
require stronger health warnings on
packaging. The Family Smoking
Prevention and Tobacco Control Act
also requires FDA to issue its 1996 final
regulation restricting the sale and
distribution of nicotine-containing
cigarettes and smokeless tobacco
products. The rule contains provisions
designed to limit young people’s access
to tobacco products, as well as
restrictions on marketing to curb the
appeal of these products to minors.
We are requesting comments that will
inform strategies to protect the public
health as we implement this new
authority. A copy of the Family
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco
Control Act is available on the agency’s
Web site at https://www.fda.gov/tobacco.
II. Request for Comments and
Information
We are particularly interested in
comments on the approaches and
actions the agency should consider
initially to increase the likelihood of
reducing the incidence and prevalence
of tobacco product use and protecting
the public health. Although the agency
will not respond to specific suggestions,
we will consider them in establishing
the new Center for Tobacco Products
and in implementing the Family
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco
Control Act. In the future, we intend to
solicit public input on specific issues.
Please organize any comments you have

Program Description
The Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism
Standards (CFATS), 6 CFR Part 27, are
the Department’s regulations under
Section 550 governing security at highrisk chemical facilities. CFATS
represents a national-level effort to
minimize terrorism risk to such
facilities. Its design and implementation
balance maintaining economic vitality
with securing facilities and their
surrounding communities. The
regulations were designed, in
collaboration with the private sector and
other stakeholders, to take advantage of
protective measures already in place
and to allow facilities to employ a wide
range of tailored measures to satisfy the
regulations’ Risk-Based Performance
Standards (RBPS).
The instruments within this
collection will be used to manage the
CFATS program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Program Description
Section 550 of Public Law 109–295
provides the Department of Homeland
Security with the authority to regulate
the security of high-risk chemical
facilities. Before the enactment of
Section 550, the Department did not
have authority to regulate the security of
most of our nation’s chemical facilities.
On April 9, 2007, the Department issued
an Interim Final Rule (IFR),
implementing this statutory mandate at
72 FR 17688. Section 550 requires a
risk-based approach to security.
The Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism
Standards (CFATS), 6 CFR Part 27, are
the Department’s regulations under
Section 550 governing security at highrisk chemical facilities. CFATS
represents a national-level effort to
minimize terrorism risk to such
facilities. Its design and implementation
balance maintaining economic vitality
with securing facilities and their
surrounding communities. The
regulations were designed, in
collaboration with the private sector and
other stakeholders, to take advantage of
protective measures already in place
and to allow facilities to employ a wide
range of tailored measures to satisfy the
regulations’ Risk-Based Performance
Standards (RBPS).
CFATS also establishes, in 6 CFR
27.400, the requirements that covered
persons must follow to safeguard certain
documents and other information
developed under the regulations. This
information is identified as ‘‘Chemicalterrorism Vulnerability Information’’
(CVI) and by law receives protection
from public disclosure and misuse.
The Department collects the primary
core regulatory data electronically
through the Chemical Security
Assessment Tool (CSAT).
