FDA Publishes Tobacco Products-Related Citizen Petitions Webpage

March 23, 2023

On March 23, FDA published a new webpage of all the tobacco products-related citizen petitions received by the agency’s Center for Tobacco Products (CTP).

A citizen petition is a way for individuals, regulated industry representatives, or consumer groups to petition FDA to issue, amend, revoke a regulation, or to take other administrative action. The requirements for a citizen petition are set out in the Code of Federal Regulations.

As part of CTP’s stated commitment to increase transparency, this webpage was developed to provide the public with more easily accessible and user-friendly information about tobacco product related citizen petitions submitted to FDA and the Center’s responses.

This webpage was one of the immediate actions toward transparency outlined by CTP Director Brian King in CTP’s Response to the Reagan-Udall Foundation’s Report.
