Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 47 / Friday, March 10, 2023 / Proposed Rules SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 I. Background Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA issued a proposed regulation on TPMP requirements (TPMP proposed rule). As described in the TPMP proposed rule, section 906(e) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 387f(e)) authorizes FDA to establish regulations requiring that the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the manufacture, preproduction design validation (including a process to assess the performance of a tobacco product), packing, and storage of a tobacco product conform to cGMP or HACCP methodology. The TPMP proposed rule (proposed 21 CFR part 1120), if finalized, would set forth the requirements with which finished and bulk tobacco product manufacturers must comply in the manufacture, preproduction design validation, packing, and storage of finished and bulk tobacco products. These requirements, if finalized, will help protect the public health by ensuring that tobacco products are manufactured in facilities that meet basic requirements for manufacturing, packing, and storing tobacco products and are in compliance with chapter IX of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 387 through 387u). Section 906(e)(1)(B)(ii) of the FD&C Act requires FDA, before issuing a final TPMP regulation, to provide the public the opportunity for an oral hearing. To satisfy this requirement, FDA is holding this public oral hearing pursuant to part 15 (21 CFR part 15) to provide the opportunity for the public to present information and views on the proposed requirements. II. Notice of Hearing Under Part 15 To satisfy the statutory requirement under section 906(e)(1)(B)(ii) of the FD&C Act, FDA will hold a public oral hearing consistent with part 15. The hearing will be conducted by a presiding officer, who will be accompanied by FDA panelists, including subject matter experts from the Center for Tobacco Products. As provided in § 15.30(f) (21 CFR 15.30(f)), the hearing is informal and the rules of evidence do not apply. No participant may interrupt the presentation of another participant. Only the presiding officer and panel members can pose questions; they can question any person during or at the conclusion of each presentation. Public hearings under part 15 are subject to FDA’s policy and procedures for electronic media coverage of FDA’s public administrative proceedings (21 CFR part 10, subpart C). Under 21 CFR 10.205, representatives of VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:43 Mar 09, 2023 Jkt 259001 the media may be permitted, subject to certain limitations, to videotape, film, or otherwise record FDA’s public administrative proceedings, including presentations by participants. The hearing will be transcribed as provided in § 15.30(b) (see also Transcripts). To the extent that the conditions for the hearing, as described in this notice, conflict with any provisions set out in part 15, this notice acts as a waiver of those provisions as specified in § 15.30(h). III. Topics for Discussion at the Public Oral Hearing FDA is interested in the public’s views, information, and any supporting data on the TPMP proposed rule, including the following topics: • The proposed scope of the regulation to cover finished and bulk tobacco product manufacturers, including specification developers. • Potential changes to the scope of the regulation, such as expanding the scope to cover manufacturers of all regulated tobacco products, including all components or parts, or limiting the scope to cover only manufacturers of certain products. • FDA’s proposed ‘‘umbrella’’ approach with flexible requirements to all affected entities as opposed to applying only specific or additional requirements for certain types of tobacco products. • Product specifications in the Master Manufacturing Record (MMR). The proposed approach for the MMR would include any requirement established by the manufacturer as well as, at a minimum, certain specifications related to product content, design, and any applicable product standards. • Design and development activities needed to control the risks associated with finished and bulk tobacco product and its production processes, packing, and storage. The proposed risk management process would include the risk treatment requirements intended to help prevent the manufacture and distribution of nonconforming and/or contaminated tobacco product. • The proposed effective date—2 years for manufacturers (other than small tobacco product manufacturers) and a total of 6 years for small tobacco product manufacturers—for complying with any TPMP regulations. IV. Participating in the Public Oral Hearing Registration: To register to attend the free public oral hearing, please visit the following website: https://www.fda.gov/ tobacco-products.

Individuals and organizations with common interests are urged to consolidate or coordinate their presentations and request time for a joint presentation.
