Description

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing regulations to prescribe the format, content, and procedures for establishment registration and tobacco product listing. The proposal aims to ensure complete and accurate registration and listing information to meet statutory, regulatory, and public health objectives. Currently, only domestic owners/operators are required to register and list with FDA, leaving gaps for foreign owners/operators. This proposal seeks to extend registration and listing requirements to include foreign establishments, thereby enhancing regulatory oversight and public health safety.
