Abstract: On June 22, 2009, the President signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act into law. The Tobacco Control Act amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) by adding a chapter granting FDA important authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products to protect the public health generally and to reduce tobacco use by minors. The FD&C Act requires FDA to issue an order under section 910(c) before a new tobacco product may be commercially marketed. An order under section 910(c) is not required, however, if a manufacturer submits a report under section 905(j) for the new tobacco product and FDA issues an order finding that the tobacco product is (1) substantially equivalent to a tobacco product commercially marketed in the United States as of February 15, 2007, and (2) in compliance with the requirements of the FD&C Act. Manufacturers of these tobacco products may submit a report under section 905(j) demonstrating that their new tobacco product is substantially equivalent to a predicate tobacco product. FDA has issued a guidance document containing recommendations for preparing substantial equivalence reports under section 905(j). For the purposes of substantial equivalence reports, the new tobacco product is compared to a predicate tobacco product in determining substantial equivalence. Additionally, under the recently issued guidance entitled, "Demonstrating the Substantial Equivalence of a New Tobacco Product: Responses to Frequently Asked Questions," FDA is recommending that certain modifications might be addressed in either a "Same Characteristics SE Report" or "Product Quantity Change Report."
