Download as PDF 70141 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 234 / Thursday, December 9, 2021 / Notices equivalence) for a new tobacco product (section 905(j)(1)A)(i) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 387e(j)(1)(A)(i))). The guidance recommends that the manufacturer submit information adequate to demonstrate that the tobacco product was commercially marketed in the United States as of February 15, 2007. Examples of such information may include, but are not limited to, the following: Dated copies No. of respondents Activity Submit evidence of commercial marketing in the United States as of February 15, 2007 ....................................... 1 There 1,000 FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: Total annual responses 1 Average burden per response (in hours) 1,000 Total hours 5 5,000 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. FDA’s estimate of the number of respondents is based on the fact that requesting an Agency determination of the Pre-Existing status of a tobacco product under the guidance is not required and also on the number of PreExisting tobacco product submissions received from 2011 to October 2021. For deemed products that met the definition of a new tobacco product and were on the market as of August 8, 2016 (when the deeming rule took effect), FDA issued a compliance policy; this, in effect, provided more time for manufacturers of these products to submit their applications for marketing authorization. The deadline for the submission of applications for these products has now passed. As the result of a court order (and a subsequent extension due to the unique circumstances of the COVID–19 pandemic), applications for deemed new tobacco products on the market at that time were due to FDA by September 9, 2020.2 The court order also provided a 1-year period during which products with timely filed applications might remain on the market pending FDA review. The number of hours to gather the evidence is FDA’s estimate of how long it might take a manufacturer to review, gather, and submit dated information if making a request for Agency determination. FDA further estimates it would take a manufacturer approximately 5 hours to put together this collection of evidence and to submit the package to FDA for review. FDA estimates that it would khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES No. of responses per respondent of advertisements, dated catalog pages, dated promotional material, and dated bills of lading. 2 On August 19, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a ruling, in part, to prohibit FDA enforcement of the Tobacco Control Act’s premarket authorization requirement for premium cigars until after the agency considers developing a streamlined substantial equivalence process specifically for premium cigars. Accordingly, FDA will not enforce the premarket review requirement against manufacturers of premium cigars that do not submit premarket applications for these products by the September 9, 2020 deadline. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:41 Dec 08, 2021 Jkt 256001 take approximately 5,000 hours annually to respond to this collection of information. Based on a review of the information collection since our last request for OMB approval, we have made no adjustments to our burden estimate. Dated: December 2, 2021. Lauren K.
