Summary

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled "Tobacco Product Master Files." This guidance provides recommendations to industry on tobacco product master files (TPMFs). TPMFs are voluntary submissions used to permit the person that owns the TPMF to authorize other parties to rely on information in the TPMF to support a submission to FDA without the TPMF owner having to disclose that information to the authorized parties. Parties that obtain a right of reference from a TPMF owner may reference information in a TPMF that the TPMF owner does not want to make public, but that the other party would otherwise need to develop on its own to make a complete submission to FDA.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
