Option 1 of the proposed rule would extend the Agency’s ‘‘tobacco product’’ authorities in the FD&C Act to all other categories of products, except accessories of a proposed deemed tobacco product, that meet the statutory definition of ‘‘tobacco product’’ in the FD&C Act. Option 2 of the proposed rule would extend the Agency’s ‘‘tobacco product’’ authorities to all other categories of products, except premium cigars and the accessories of a proposed deemed tobacco product, that meet the statutory definition of ‘‘tobacco product’’ in the FD&C Act. FDA also is proposing to prohibit the sale of ‘‘covered tobacco products’’ to individuals under the age of 18 and to require the display of health warnings on cigarette tobacco, roll-your own tobacco, and covered tobacco product packages and in advertisements.

Background

    On March 11, 2014, the FHWA published in the Federal Register a 
NPRM proposing to establish measures for State departments of 
transportation (State DOT) to use to carry out the Highway Safety 
Improvement Program (HSIP) and to assess serious injuries and 
fatalities per vehicle mile traveled, and the number of serious 
injuries and fatalities. The HSIP is a core Federal-aid highway program 
with the purpose of achieving a significant reduction in fatalities and 
serious injuries on all public roads, including non-State-owned public 
roads and roads on tribal lands. (23 U.S.C. 148(b)).
    This NPRM also proposes the following: the definitions that will be 
applicable to the new 23 CFR 490; the process to be used by State DOTs 
and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to establish safety-
related performance targets that reflect the measures proposed in this 
rulemaking; a methodology to be used to assess State DOTs compliance 
with the target achievement provision specified under 23 U.S.C. 148(i); 
and the process State DOTs must follow to report on progress towards 
the achievement of safety-related performance targets.
    The original comment period for the NPRM closes on June 9, 2014. 
The FHWA believes that this closing date may not provide sufficient 
time to review and provide comprehensive comments on the National 
Performance Management Measures; Highway Safety Improvement Program 
NPRM, considering all related rulemaking activities including the 
related FHWA/FTA Statewide and Nonmetropolitan Transportation Planning; 
Metropolitan Transportation Planning NPRM (FHWA RIN 2125-AF52; FTA RIN 
2132-AB10). To allow the public to submit comprehensive comments, the 
closing date is changed from June 9, 2014, to June 30, 2014.

    Authority:  23 U.S.C. 134, 135, 148(i) and 150; 49 CFR 1.85.

    Issued on: May 21, 2014.
