ABSTRACT

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is proposing regulations to prescribe the format, content, and procedures for establishment registration and tobacco product listing. Complete and accurate establishment registration and product listing information is important to accomplish statutory, regulatory, and public health objectives. Currently, only domestic owners and operators are required to register their establishments and list their tobacco products with FDA while foreign owners and operators are not subject to these requirements, creating significant gaps in Agency information. This action, if finalized, would extend registration and listing requirements to include owners and operators of foreign establishments.
