Advisory Committee; Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee; Establishment

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the Establishment of the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee. These actions are needed to implement the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is publishing two separate documents requesting nominations for voting and non-voting membership on this committee. This document also amends the agency's regulations to add the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee (the committee) to the agency's list of standing advisory committees.
