Abstract: The guidance document provides information on how a manufacturer may establish that a tobacco product was commercially marketed in the United States as of February 15, 2007. A "Pre-Existing" tobacco product is not considered a new tobacco product and thus is not subject to the premarket requirements of the FD&C Act. A Pre-Existing tobacco product may also serve as the predicate tobacco product in a section 905(j) report (intended to be used toward demonstrating substantial 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))). FDA interprets the phrase "as of February 15, 2007," as meaning that the tobacco product was commercially marketed in the United States on February 15, 2007. The guidance associated with this collection of information 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 of advertisements, dated catalog pages, dated promotional material, and dated bills of lading.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden adjustment is related to and overall decrease in the expected number of respondents. The number of hours per response has remained the same. As a result of this adjustment, we recorded a decrease to the currently approved burden. Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an overall decrease of 2,500 hours and a corresponding decrease of 500 responses. The number of submissions FDA received to establish marketing as of February 15, 2007 has decreased and we have therefore revised the number of respondents to the information collection based on this data.
