Abstract: The information collection in this guidance is intended to assist tobacco manufacturers, importers, researchers, and investigators, and their representatives who seek meetings with staff of FDA's Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) relating to their plans to conduct research to inform the regulation of tobacco products or support the development or marketing of tobacco products. This guidance does not pertain to other types of meetings or meeting requests with CTP staff. The information collected will help FDA better understand issues discussed during these meetings. The Tobacco Control Act (Pub. L. 111-31) offers tobacco product manufacturers several pathways to obtain an order from FDA to authorize the marketing of a tobacco product before it may be introduced or delivered into interstate commerce. To provide assistance with these pathways to market particular products, FDA offers to meet with tobacco product manufacturers, importers, researchers, and investigators (or their representatives) where appropriate. This guidance assists persons wishing to meet with FDA regarding their research to inform the regulation of tobacco products, or to support the development or marketing of tobacco products.
