Those rules proposed the establishment of an industry-funded promotion, research and information program for hardwood lumber and hardwood plywood and referendum procedures. Those proposals provided for a 60-day comment period which ended on January 13, 2014. On January 16, 2014, a notice was published in the Federal Register that reopened and extended the comment period on the proposed Order until February 18, 2014 (79 FR 2805).

USDA received a request to extend the comment period to allow additional time for interested persons to review the proposals and submit comments.

Advance notice of proposed rulemaking. ACTION: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing this advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to obtain information related to the regulation of ‘‘tobacco products’’ subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act), as amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act), and restrictions regarding the sale and distribution of such tobacco products. Specifically, this ANPRM is seeking comments, data, research results, or other information that may inform regulatory actions FDA might take with respect to nicotine exposure warnings and child-resistant packaging for liquid nicotine and nicotine-containing e-liquid(s) that are made or derived from tobacco and intended for human consumption, and potentially for other tobacco products including, but not limited to, novel tobacco products such as dissolvables, lotions, gels, and drinks. In April 2014, FDA published a proposed rule seeking to deem products meeting the statutory definition of ‘‘tobacco product,’’ except accessories to proposed deemed tobacco products, to be subject to the FD&C Act, as amended by the Tobacco Control Act. Specifically, the proposed rule seeks to extend the Agency’s ‘‘tobacco product’’ authorities to those products that meet the statutory definition of ‘‘tobacco product,’’ prohibiting the sale of ‘‘covered tobacco products’’ to individuals under the age of 18, and requiring the display of health warnings on certain tobacco product packages and in advertisements.
