U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) Application

To Comment on the U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company MRTP Application 

You may submit comments including data, research, and other related information to docket FDA-2018-N-3261 through January 21, 2020. There may be conflicting deadlines posted on regulations.gov and federalregister.gov. While we cannot control how information is displayed on those websites, the docket will remain open until January 21, 2020.

On September 14, 2018, FDA filed for substantive scientific review of one Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) Application from U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company for its Copenhagen Snuff Fine Cut, a moist snuff smokeless tobacco product. Copenhagen Snuff Fine cut is a grandfathered tobacco product, and, therefore, it is not subject to the requirement for premarket review under section 910 of the FD&C Act.  Copenhagen Snuff Fine Cut, without modified risk information, is currently available to U.S. tobacco consumers. 

Please sign up to receive email alerts when materials from any MRTP applications under scientific review have been added or check this webpage regularly. The latest set of application materials from U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company were added on February 19, 2019.
