Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 136 / Friday, July 15, 2016 / Notices
The Family Smoking Prevention and
Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control
Act) (Pub. L. 111–31) added section 905
to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 387e),
establishing requirements for tobacco
product establishment registration and
product listing.
FDA revised the registration and
listing guidance to include newly
deemed tobacco products. Cigarettes,
cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco,
and smokeless tobacco were
immediately covered by FDA’s tobacco
product authorities in chapter IX of the
FD&C Act, including section 905, when
the Tobacco Control Act went into
effect. As for other types of tobacco
products, section 901(b) of the FD&C
Act (21 U.S.C. 387a) grants FDA
authority to deem those products
subject to chapter IX of the FD&C Act.
Pursuant to that authority, FDA issued
a proposed rule seeking to deem all
other products that meet the statutory
definition of tobacco product, set forth
in section 201(rr) of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 321(rr)) (except for accessories of
those products) (79 FR 23142). After
review and consideration of comments
on the proposed rule, FDA published
the final rule on May 10, 2016 (81 FR
28974) (‘‘the deeming rule’’) and it will
become effective on August 8, 2016. As
a result, owners and operators of
domestic establishments engaged in the
manufacture, preparation,
compounding, or processing of tobacco
products subject to the deeming rule are
now required to comply with chapter IX
of the FD&C Act, including the
establishment registration and product
listing requirements in section 905.

II. Significance of Guidance
This guidance is being issued
consistent with FDA’s good guidance
practices regulation (§ 10.115). The
guidance represents the current thinking
of FDA on registration and product
listing for owners and operators of
domestic tobacco product
establishments. It does not establish any
rights for any person and is not binding
on FDA or the public. You can use an
alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes
and regulations.
III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This guidance contains information
collection provisions that are subject to
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520). The time required to complete
this information collection is estimated
to average 3.75 hours per response,
including the time to review

Administration, Center for Tobacco
Products, Document Control Center,

control number. The OMB control
number for this information collection
is 0910–0650 (expires June 30, 2019).

Outreach funds,’’ ‘‘Health Care Policy

Tribes and villages. This program
requires that public forums be held at
Tribal educational consumer
conferences to disseminate changes and
updates in the latest health care
information. This program also requires
that regional and national meetings be
coordinated for information
dissemination as well as the inclusion
of planning and technical assistance and
health care recommendations on behalf
of participating Tribes to ultimately
inform IHS based on Tribal input
through a broad based consumer
network.
