FDA guidance on this collection
requested health documents that were created during the period of
June 23, 2009, through December 31, 2009. FDA is in the process of
revising the April 2010 guidance but will continue collecting
documents created during the period of June 23, 2009 through
December 31, 2009, from any manufacturers, importers, or their
agents who still have documents to submit. The information
collected will inform FDA's development of good manufacturing
practices, review standards for new tobacco products, and
regulation of modified risk tobacco products, among others.
Respondents submit information through a facilitative electronic
form or in paper form using Form FDA 3743. In both forms, FDA is
requesting the following information: Submitter identification,
submitter point of contact, submission format and contents (as
applicable), confirmation statement, document categorization (as
applicable), document readability and accessibility, and document
metadata.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) issued a final rule to deem products meeting
the statutory definition of “tobacco product” to be subject to the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). The FD&C
Act provides FDA authority to regulate cigarettes, cigarette
tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, smokeless tobacco, and any other
tobacco products that the Agency by regulation deems to be subject
to the law. This final rule extends the Agency’s “tobacco product”
authorities to all other categories of products that meet the
statutory definition of “tobacco product” in the FD&C Act,
except accessories of such newly deemed tobacco products.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
