The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) is extending the comment period for the proposed rule that appeared in the Federal Register of January 23, 2017. In the proposed rule, FDA requested comments on its proposal to establish a limit of N- nitrosonornicotine (NNN) in finished smokeless tobacco products. The Agency is taking this action in response to requests for an extension to allow interested persons additional time to submit comments. The Agency is also providing notice of a typographical error in a formula in the Laboratory Information Bulletin (LIB) titled, "Determination of N-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) in Smokeless Tobacco and Tobacco Filler by HPLC-MS/MS" (LIB No. 4620, January 2017). In accordance with the memorandum of January 20, 2017, from the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled "Regulatory Freeze Pending Review", the Agency is also taking this opportunity to provide notice that, as with all regulatory actions subject to such memorandum, this proposed rule is being reviewed consistent with the memorandum.
The agency’s own summary, as published.
