What Happens After I Submit My Premarket Tobacco Application?
Upon receipt of an application, the FDA will determine if the application can be accepted and then filed for substantive review. FDA has refuse to accept procedures for premarket tobacco product submissions.
If the application is accepted, the FDA then will conduct a filing review to determine whether the application is complete, i.e., whether it contains all the items under Section 910(b)(1) of the FD&C Act. If not, the application is incomplete, and we will refuse to file it.
If the application is complete, FDA will file the application and begin substantive review.
As part of its review, FDA may refer the applications to the Tobacco Product Scientific Advisory Committee (TPSAC). You may also request that FDA refer the application to TPSAC.
After completing its review, FDA intends to issue an order within 180 days after receipt of the Premarket Tobacco Application that the new product may or may not be introduced or delivered for introduction to consumers.
