The NIH-FDA Tobacco Regulatory Science Program (TRSP) will host a webinar this Friday, June 20, 2014, at 1:00 p.m. EDT to discuss the process for submitting comments on proposed FDA regulations to the public docket.
Presenter:
Allison Hoffman, Ph.D.
Associate Director for Science Coordination and Communication
Office of Science
FDA Center for Tobacco Products
FDA recently published the proposed rule Deeming Tobacco Products To Be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act; Regulations on the Sale and Distribution of Tobacco Products and Required Warning Statements for Tobacco Products. Tobacco regulatory scientists know that their input is important, but many are unfamiliar with the process of submitting comments to the docket.
This webinar will:
• Explain what dockets are and how they are used
• Walk you through the process of submitting comments to a docket
• Provide suggestions for ensuring that your comments are effective and useful
• Provide an opportunity for you to ask questions about the submission process
