FDA continues to review tobacco product marketing applications and issue decisions on those submissions. In July, FDA issued 6 Not Substantially Equivalent (NSE) orders and companies withdrew 22 SE reports from the review process. As of July 31, 2014, 42% of regular SE reports have been resolved with a final decision of refuse-to-accept, withdrawn, substantially equivalent, or NSE.
More information on these actions, and a summary of all the actions FDA has taken, can be found on our Tobacco Product Marketing Orders webpage.
