Abstract: The Tobacco Control Act was enacted on June 22, 2009, amending the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and providing FDA with the authority to regulate tobacco products (Pub. L. 111-31; 123 Stat. 1776). Section 910(a) established requirements for premarket review of new tobacco products. FDA is finalizing requirements for the content, format, submission, and review of PMTAs, as well as other requirements related to PMTAs, including recordkeeping requirements, and postmarket reporting. FDA will also require recordkeeping regarding the legal marketing of Pre-Existing Tobacco Products (i.e., those products that were commercially marketed as of February 15, 2007) and products that are exempt from the requirements of demonstrating substantial equivalence.

Emergency Justfication: If certain conditions are met, an agency head or designee may request expedited OMB review of an information collection request (ICR), also known as an "emergency" review. OMB may grant expedited review if the collection is essential to the mission of the agency, clearance is needed sooner than the normal timeframe, and the agency cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA) because: "(i) public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures are followed; (ii) an unanticipated event has occurred; or (iii) the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information or is reasonably likely to cause a statutory or court ordered deadline to be missed" (5 CFR § 1320.13(a)(2)). When OMB expedites review, OMB acts promptly to review the ICR through a suitably streamlined process, consistent with the purposes of the PRA. For example, OMB may modify—or, if necessary, waive—the public comment requirements. Emergency clearance may be granted for a maximum of six months. We are seeking emergency processing for the following reasons: (1) The revision of the collection of information (form FDA 4057b) is needed prior to the expiration of normal clearance time periods and is essential to the mission of the FDA; and (2) FDA cannot reasonably comply with normal clearance procedures because use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to cause a statutory deadline to be missed and to prevent or disrupt the required collection of information. The enactment of the Appropriations Act on March 15, 2022, with an effective date of April 14, 2022, does not allow us sufficient time to comply with the normal clearance procedures. The expectation that companies will submit PMTAs on or before May 14, 2022, underscores the need for this revision to be approved expeditiously. This revision will ensure applicants are able to submit, and FDA is able to efficiently process, identifying information about NTN products. Being able to quickly review this identifying information will help FDA determine whether the products that are subject to the application qualify for 60 days of continued marketing. In addition, without emergency clearance and the accompanying revisions to form FDA 4057b, FDA will be unable to ensure that interested stakeholders will provide complete requests, which include the information necessary to submit premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs). Furthermore, without the ability to receive information from industry in a standardized format, FDA will be unable to allow for applicants to identify products containing non-tobacco derived nicotine. FDA is requesting that OMB allow use of its emergency clearance process to immediately approve the revision of OMB Control No. 0910-0879, so that FDA may immediately collect the information necessary to be in alignment with the changes to the definition of “tobacco product” in section 201(rr) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321(rr)).

Short Statement: The Food and Drug Administration is submitting this revision under emergency clearance procedures to revise Form FDA 4057b to account for products containing non-tobacco derived nicotine through PMTA applications. Effective April 14, 2022, Section 201(rr) of the FD&C Act now applies to “any product made or derived from tobacco, or containing nicotine from any source, that is intended for human consumption”. Form FDA 4057b has been modified to be in alignment with the changes to the definition of “tobacco product” in section 201(rr) of the FD&C Act. Currently, we do not have an accurate assessment of how this will affect our burden estimates. For this emergency clearance request, FDA has added burden to account for products containing non-tobacco derived nicotine. This resulted in an increase of 45 responses and 148 hours. The new estimated burden for this collection is 13,740 hours.
