What is an advisory committee?

Advisory committees provide independent expert advice to the FDA on broad scientific topics or on certain products to help the agency make sound decisions based on the available science. Advisory committees make non-binding recommendations to the FDA, which generally follows the recommendations but is not legally bound to do so. Please see, "Advisory Committees Give FDA Critical Advice and the Public a Voice," for more information.


Agenda

On May 18, 2023, the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee (TPSAC) will meet in open session to discuss and provide an opportunity for recommendations on the proposed Requirements for Tobacco Product Manufacturing Practice rule (proposed 21 CFR part 1120).  The meeting will be open to the public.  


Meeting Materials

FDA intends to make background material available to the public no later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post the background material on its website prior to the meeting, the background material will be made publicly available at the location of the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be posted on FDA’s website after the meeting.

Materials for this meeting will be available at the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee meetings main page.
