SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The use of tobacco products by the Nation's children is 
        a pediatric disease of considerable proportions that results in 
        new generations of tobacco-dependent children and adults.
            (2) A consensus exists within the scientific and medical 
        communities that tobacco products are inherently dangerous and 
        cause cancer, heart disease, and other serious adverse health 
        effects.
            (3) Nicotine is an addictive drug.
            (4) Virtually all new users of tobacco products are under 
        the minimum legal age to purchase such products.
            (5) Tobacco advertising and marketing contribute 
        significantly to the use of nicotine-containing tobacco 
        products by adolescents.
            (6) Because past efforts to restrict advertising and 
        marketing of tobacco products have failed adequately to curb 
        tobacco use by adolescents, comprehensive restrictions on the 
        sale, promotion, and distribution of such products are needed.
            (7) Federal and State governments have lacked the legal and 
        regulatory authority and resources they need to address 
        comprehensively the public health and societal problems caused 
        by the use of tobacco products.
            (8) Federal and State public health officials, the public 
        health community, and the public at large recognize that the 
        tobacco industry should be subject to ongoing oversight.
            (9) Under article I, section 8 of the Constitution, the 
        Congress is vested with the responsibility for regulating 
        interstate commerce and commerce with Indian tribes.
            (10) The sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, and 
        use of tobacco products are activities in and substantially 
        affecting interstate commerce because they are sold, marketed, 
        advertised, and distributed in interstate commerce on a 
        nationwide basis, and have a substantial effect on the Nation's 
        economy.
            (11) The sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, and 
        use of such products substantially affect interstate commerce 
        through the health care and other costs attributable to the use 
        of tobacco products.
            (12) It is in the public interest for Congress to enact 
        legislation that provides the Food and Drug Administration with 
        the authority to regulate tobacco products and the advertising 
        and promotion of such products. The benefits to the American 
        people from enacting such legislation would be significant in 
        human and economic terms.
            (13) Tobacco use is the foremost preventable cause of 
        premature death in America. It causes over 400,000 deaths in 
        the United States each year, and approximately 8,600,000 
        Americans have chronic illnesses related to smoking.
            (14) Reducing the use of tobacco by minors by 50 percent 
        would prevent well over 10,000,000 of today's children from 
        becoming regular, daily smokers, saving over 3,000,000 of them 
        from premature death due to tobacco-induced disease. Such a 
        reduction in youth smoking would also result in approximately 
        $75,000,000,000 in savings attributable to reduced health care 
        costs.
            (15) Advertising, marketing, and promotion of tobacco 
        products have been especially directed to attract young persons 
        to use tobacco products, and these efforts have resulted in 
        increased use of such products by youth. Past efforts to 
        oversee these activities have not been successful in adequately 
        preventing such increased use.
            (16) In 2005, the cigarette manufacturers spent more than 
        $13,000,000,000 to attract new users, retain current users, 
        increase current consumption, and generate favorable long-term 
        attitudes toward smoking and tobacco use.
            (17) Tobacco product advertising often misleadingly 
        portrays the use of tobacco as socially acceptable and 
        healthful to minors.
            (18) Tobacco product advertising is regularly seen by 
        persons under the age of 18, and persons under the age of 18 
        are regularly exposed to tobacco product promotional efforts.
            (19) Through advertisements during and sponsorship of 
        sporting events, tobacco has become strongly associated with 
        sports and has become portrayed as an integral part of sports 
        and the healthy lifestyle associated with rigorous sporting 
        activity.
            (20) Children are exposed to substantial and unavoidable 
        tobacco advertising that leads to favorable beliefs about 
        tobacco use, plays a role in leading young people to 
        overestimate the prevalence of tobacco use, and increases the 
        number of young people who begin to use tobacco.
            (21) The use of tobacco products in motion pictures and 
        other mass media glamorizes its use for young people and 
        encourages them to use tobacco products.
            (22) Tobacco advertising expands the size of the tobacco 
        market by increasing consumption of tobacco products including 
        tobacco use by young people.
            (23) Children are more influenced by tobacco marketing than 
        adults: more than 80 percent of youth smoke three heavily 
        marketed brands, while only 54 percent of adults, 26 and older, 
        smoke these same brands.
            (24) Tobacco company documents indicate that young people 
        are an important and often crucial segment of the tobacco 
        market. Children, who tend to be more price sensitive than 
        adults, are influenced by advertising and promotion practices 
        that result in drastically reduced cigarette prices.
            (25) Comprehensive advertising restrictions will have a 
        positive effect on the smoking rates of young people.
            (26) Restrictions on advertising are necessary to prevent 
        unrestricted tobacco advertising from undermining legislation 
        prohibiting access to young people and providing for education 
        about tobacco use.
            (27) International experience shows that advertising 
        regulations that are stringent and comprehensive have a greater 
        impact on overall tobacco use and young people's use than 
        weaker or less comprehensive ones.
            (28) Text only requirements, although not as stringent as a 
        ban, will help reduce underage use of tobacco products while 
        preserving the informational function of advertising.
            (29) It is in the public interest for Congress to adopt 
        legislation to address the public health crisis created by 
        actions of the tobacco industry.
            (30) The final regulations promulgated by the Secretary of 
        Health and Human Services in the August 28, 1996, issue of the 
        Federal Register (61 Fed. Reg. 44615-44618) for inclusion as 
        part 897 of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, are 
        consistent with the first amendment to the United States 
        Constitution and with the standards set forth in the amendments 
        made by this subtitle for the regulation of tobacco products by 
        the Food and Drug Administration, and the restriction on the 
        sale and distribution of, including access to and the 
        advertising and promotion of, tobacco products contained in 
        such regulations are substantially related to accomplishing the 
        public health goals of this Act.
            (31) The regulations described in paragraph (30) will 
        directly and materially advance the Federal Government's 
        substantial interest in reducing the number of children and 
        adolescents who use cigarettes and smokeless tobacco and in 
        preventing the life-threatening health consequences associated 
        with tobacco use. An overwhelming majority of Americans who use 
        tobacco products begin using such products while they are 
        minors and become addicted to the nicotine in those products 
        before reaching the age of 18. Tobacco advertising and 
        promotion play a crucial role in the decision of these minors 
        to begin using tobacco products. Less restrictive and less 
        comprehensive approaches have not and will not be effective in 
        reducing the problems addressed by such regulations. The 
        reasonable restrictions on the advertising and promotion of 
        tobacco products contained in such regulations will lead to a 
        significant decrease in the number of minors using and becoming 
        addicted to those products.
            (32) The regulations described in paragraph (30) impose no 
        more extensive restrictions on communication by tobacco 
        manufacturers and sellers than are necessary to reduce the 
        number of children and adolescents who use cigarettes and 
        smokeless tobacco and to prevent the life-threatening health 
        consequences associated with tobacco use. Such regulations are 
        narrowly tailored to restrict those advertising and promotional 
        practices which are most likely to be seen or heard by youth 
        and most likely to entice them into tobacco use, while 
        affording tobacco manufacturers and sellers ample opportunity 
        to convey information about their products to adult consumers.
            (33) Tobacco dependence is a chronic disease, one that 
        typically requires repeated interventions to achieve long-term 
        or permanent abstinence.
            (34) Because the only known safe alternative to smoking is 
        cessation, interventions should target all smokers to help them 
        quit completely.
            (35) Tobacco products have been used to facilitate and 
        finance criminal activities both domestically and 
        internationally. Illicit trade of tobacco products has been 
        linked to organized crime and terrorist groups.
            (36) It is essential that the Food and Drug Administration 
        review products sold or distributed for use to reduce risks or 
        exposures associated with tobacco products and that it be 
        empowered to review any advertising and labeling for such 
        products. It is also essential that manufacturers, prior to 
        marketing such products, be required to demonstrate that such 
        products will meet a series of rigorous criteria, and will 
        benefit the health of the population as a whole, taking into 
        account both users of tobacco products and persons who do not 
        currently use tobacco products.
            (37) Unless tobacco products that purport to reduce the 
        risks to the public of tobacco use actually reduce such risks, 
        those products can cause substantial harm to the public health 
        to the extent that the individuals, who would otherwise not 
        consume tobacco products or would consume such products less, 
        use tobacco products purporting to reduce risk. Those who use 
        products sold or distributed as modified risk products that do 
        not in fact reduce risk, rather than quitting or reducing their 
        use of tobacco products, have a substantially increased 
        likelihood of suffering disability and premature death. The 
        costs to society of the widespread use of products sold or 
        distributed as modified risk products that do not in fact 
        reduce risk or that increase risk include thousands of 
        unnecessary deaths and injuries and huge costs to our health 
        care system.
            (38) As the National Cancer Institute has found, many 
        smokers mistakenly believe that ``low tar'' and ``light'' 
        cigarettes cause fewer health problems than other cigarettes. 
        As the National Cancer Institute has also found, mistaken 
        beliefs about the health consequences of smoking ``low tar'' 
        and ``light'' cigarettes can reduce the motivation to quit 
        smoking entirely and thereby lead to disease and death.
            (39) Recent studies have demonstrated that there has been 
        no reduction in risk on a population-wide basis from ``low 
        tar'' and ``light'' cigarettes, and such products may actually 
        increase the risk of tobacco use.
            (40) The dangers of products sold or distributed as 
        modified risk tobacco products that do not in fact reduce risk 
        are so high that there is a compelling governmental interest in 
        ensuring that statements about modified risk tobacco products 
        are complete, accurate, and relate to the overall disease risk 
        of the product.
            (41) As the Federal Trade Commission has found, consumers 
        have misinterpreted advertisements in which one product is 
        claimed to be less harmful than a comparable product, even in 
        the presence of disclosures and advisories intended to provide 
        clarification.
            (42) Permitting manufacturers to make unsubstantiated 
        statements concerning modified risk tobacco products, whether 
        express or implied, even if accompanied by disclaimers would be 
        detrimental to the public health.
            (43) The only way to effectively protect the public health 
        from the dangers of unsubstantiated modified risk tobacco 
        products is to empower the Food and Drug Administration to 
        require that products that tobacco manufacturers sold or 
        distributed for risk reduction be reviewed in advance of 
        marketing, and to require that the evidence relied on to 
        support claims be fully verified.
            (44) The Food and Drug Administration is a regulatory 
        agency with the scientific expertise to identify harmful 
        substances in products to which consumers are exposed, to 
        design standards to limit exposure to those substances, to 
        evaluate scientific studies supporting claims about the safety 
        of products, and to evaluate the impact of labels, labeling, 
        and advertising on consumer behavior in order to reduce the 
        risk of harm and promote understanding of the impact of the 
        product on health. In connection with its mandate to promote 
        health and reduce the risk of harm, the Food and Drug 
        Administration routinely makes decisions about whether and how 
        products may be marketed in the United States.
            (45) The Federal Trade Commission was created to protect 
        consumers from unfair or deceptive acts or practices, and to 
        regulate unfair methods of competition. Its focus is on those 
        marketplace practices that deceive or mislead consumers, and 
        those that give some competitors an unfair advantage. Its 
        mission is to regulate activities in the marketplace. Neither 
        the Federal Trade Commission nor any other Federal agency 
        except the Food and Drug Administration possesses the 
        scientific expertise needed to implement effectively all 
        provisions of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control 
        Act.
            (46) If manufacturers state or imply in communications 
        directed to consumers through the media or through a label, 
        labeling, or advertising, that a tobacco product is approved or 
        inspected by the Food and Drug Administration or complies with 
        Food and Drug Administration standards, consumers are likely to 
        be confused and misled. Depending upon the particular language 
        used and its context, such a statement could result in 
        consumers being misled into believing that the product is 
        endorsed by the Food and Drug Administration for use or in 
        consumers being misled about the harmfulness of the product 
        because of such regulation, inspection, approval, or 
        compliance.
            (47) In August 2006 a United States district court judge 
        found that the major United States cigarette companies continue 
        to target and market to youth. USA v. Philip Morris, USA, Inc., 
        et al. (Civil Action No. 99-2496 (GK), August 17, 2006).
            (48) In August 2006 a United States district court judge 
        found that the major United States cigarette companies 
        dramatically increased their advertising and promotional 
        spending in ways that encourage youth to start smoking 
        subsequent to the signing of the Master Settlement Agreement in 
        1998. USA v. Philip Morris, USA, Inc., et al. (Civil Action No. 
        99-2496 (GK), August 17, 2006).
            (49) In August 2006 a United States district court judge 
        found that the major United States cigarette companies have 
        designed their cigarettes to precisely control nicotine 
        delivery levels and provide doses of nicotine sufficient to 
        create and sustain addiction while also concealing much of 
        their nicotine-related research. USA v. Philip Morris, USA, 
        Inc., et al. (Civil Action No. 99-2496 (GK), August 17, 2006).

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

    The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to provide authority to the Food and Drug 
        Administration to regulate tobacco products under the Federal 
        Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), by 
        recognizing it as the primary Federal regulatory authority with 
        respect to the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of 
        tobacco products as provided for in this Act;
            (2) to ensure that the Food and Drug Administration has the 
        authority to address issues of particular concern to public 
        health officials, especially the use of tobacco by young people 
        and dependence on tobacco;
            (3) to authorize the Food and Drug Administration to set 
        national standards controlling the manufacture of tobacco 
        products and the identity, public disclosure, and amount of 
        ingredients used in such products;
            (4) to provide new and flexible enforcement authority to 
        ensure that there is effective oversight of the tobacco 
        industry's efforts to develop, introduce, and promote less 
        harmful tobacco products;
            (5) to vest the Food and Drug Administration with the 
        authority to regulate the levels of tar, nicotine, and other 
        harmful components of tobacco products;
            (6) in order to ensure that consumers are better informed, 
        to require tobacco product manufacturers to disclose research 
        which has not previously been made available, as well as 
        research generated in the future, relating to the health and 
        dependency effects or safety of tobacco products;
            (7) to continue to permit the sale of tobacco products to

section shall not apply to such tobacco product.
    ``(b) Information on Public Access and Comment.--Each notice of 
proposed rulemaking or other notification under section 907, 908, 909, 
910, or 911 or under this section, any other notice which is published 
in the Federal Register with respect to any other action taken under 
any such section and which states the reasons for such action, and each 
publication of findings required to be made in connection with 
rulemaking under any such section shall set forth--
            ``(1) the manner in which interested persons may examine 
        data and other information on which the notice or findings is 
        based; and
            ``(2) the period within which interested persons may 
        present their comments on the notice or findings (including the 
        need therefore) orally or in writing, which period shall be at 
        least 60 days but may not exceed 90 days unless the time is 
        extended by the Secretary by a notice published in the Federal 
        Register stating good cause therefore.

reported to or otherwise obtained by the Secretary or the Secretary's 
representative under section 903, 904, 907, 908, 909, 910, 911, or 704, 
or under subsection (e) or (f) of this section, which is exempt from 
disclosure under subsection (a) of section 552 of title 5, United 
States Code, by reason of subsection (b)(4) of that section shall be 
considered confidential and shall not be disclosed, except that the 
information may be disclosed to other officers or employees concerned 
with carrying out this chapter, or when relevant in any proceeding 
under this chapter.
    ``(d) Restrictions.--
            ``(1) In general.--The Secretary may by regulation require 
        restrictions on the sale and distribution of a tobacco product, 
        including restrictions on the access to, and the advertising 
        and promotion of, the tobacco product, if the Secretary 
        determines that such regulation would be appropriate for the 
        protection of the public health. The Secretary may by 
        regulation impose restrictions on the advertising and promotion 
        of a tobacco product consistent with and to full extent 
        permitted by the first amendment to the Constitution. The 
        finding as to whether such regulation would be appropriate for 
        the protection of the public health shall be determined with 
        respect to the risks and benefits to the population as a whole, 
        including users and nonusers of the tobacco product, and taking 
        into account--
                    ``(A) the increased or decreased likelihood that 
                existing users of tobacco products will stop using such 
                products; and
                    ``(B) the increased or decreased likelihood that 
                those who do not use tobacco products will start using 
                such products.
        No such regulation may require that the sale or distribution of 
        a tobacco product be limited to the written or oral 
        authorization of a practitioner licensed by law to prescribe 
        medical products.
            ``(2) Label statements.--The label of a tobacco product 
        shall bear such appropriate statements of the restrictions 
        required by a regulation under subsection (a) as the Secretary 
        may in such regulation prescribe.
            ``(3) Limitations.--
                    ``(A) In general.--No restrictions under paragraph 
                (1) may--
                            ``(i) prohibit the sale of any tobacco 
                        product in face-to-face transactions by a 
                        specific category of retail outlets; or
                            ``(ii) establish a minimum age of sale of 
                        tobacco products to any person older than 18 
                        years of age.
                    ``(B) Matchbooks.--For purposes of any regulations 
                issued by the Secretary, matchbooks of conventional 
                size containing not more than 20 paper matches, and 
                which are customarily given away for free with the 
                purchase of tobacco products, shall be considered as 
                adult-written publications which shall be permitted to 
                contain advertising. Notwithstanding the preceding 
                sentence, if the Secretary finds that such treatment of 
                matchbooks is not appropriate for the protection of the 
                public health, the Secretary may determine by 
                regulation that matchbooks shall not be considered 
                adult-written publications.
            ``(4) Remote sales.--
                    ``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall--
                            ``(i) within 18 months after the date of 
                        enactment of the Family Smoking Prevention and 
                        Tobacco Control Act, promulgate regulations 
                        regarding the sale and distribution of tobacco 
                        products that occur through means other than a 
                        direct, face-to-face exchange between a 
                        retailer and a consumer in order to prevent the 
                        sale and distribution of tobacco products to 
                        individuals who have not attained the minimum 
                        age established by applicable law for the 
                        purchase of such products, including 
                        requirements for age verification; and
                            ``(ii) within 2 years after such date of 
                        enactment, issue regulations to address the 
                        promotion and marketing of tobacco products 
                        that are sold or distributed through means 
                        other than a direct, face-to-face exchange 
                        between a retailer and a consumer in order to 
                        protect individuals who have not attained the 
                        minimum age established by applicable law for 
                        the purchase of such products.
                    ``(B) Relation to other authority.--Nothing in this 
                paragraph limits the authority of the Secretary to take 
                additional actions under the other paragraphs of this 
                subsection.
    ``(e) Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements.--
            ``(1) Methods, facilities, and controls to conform.--
                    ``(A) In general.--In applying manufacturing 
                restrictions to tobacco, the Secretary shall, in 
                accordance with subparagraph (B), prescribe regulations 
                (which may differ based on the type of tobacco product 
                involved) requiring that the methods used in, and the 
                facilities and controls used for, the manufacture, 
                preproduction design validation (including a process to 
                assess the performance of a tobacco product), packing, 
                and storage of a tobacco product conform to current 
                good manufacturing practice, or hazard analysis and 
                critical control point methodology, as prescribed in 
                such regulations to assure that the public health is 
                protected and that the tobacco product is in compliance 
                with this chapter. Such regulations may provide for the 
                testing of raw tobacco for pesticide chemical residues 
                regardless of whether a tolerance for such chemical 
                residues has been established.

                        constituent), or other component of a tobacco 
                        product because the Secretary has found that 
                        the additive, constituent, or other component 
                        is or may be harmful, any party objecting to

                        proposed standard will not reduce or eliminate 
                        the risk of illness or injury may provide for 
                        the Secretary's consideration scientific 
                        evidence that demonstrates that the proposed 
                        standard will not reduce or eliminate the risk 
                        of illness or injury.

        standard regarding the technical achievability of compliance 
        with such standard.
            ``(2) Other considerations.--The Secretary shall consider 
        all other information submitted in connection with a proposed 
        standard, including information concerning the countervailing 
        effects of the tobacco product standard on the health of 
        adolescent tobacco users, adult tobacco users, or nontobacco 
        users, such as the creation of a significant demand for 
        contraband or other tobacco products that do not meet the 
        requirements of this chapter and the significance of such 
        demand.
    ``(c) Proposed Standards.--
            ``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall publish in the 
        Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking for the 
        establishment, amendment, or revocation of any tobacco product 
        standard.
            ``(2) Requirements of notice.--A notice of proposed 
        rulemaking for the establishment or amendment of a tobacco 
        product standard for a tobacco product shall--
                    ``(A) set forth a finding with supporting 
                justification that the tobacco product standard is 
                appropriate for the protection of the public health;

                or proposed tobacco product standard for consideration 
                by the Secretary;
                    ``(C) invite interested persons to submit comments 
                on structuring the standard so that it does not 
                advantage foreign-grown tobacco over domestically grown 
                tobacco; and
                    ``(D) invite the Secretary of Agriculture to 
                provide any information or analysis which the Secretary 
                of Agriculture believes is relevant to the proposed 
                tobacco product standard.
            ``(3) Finding.--A notice of proposed rulemaking for the 
        revocation of a tobacco product standard shall set forth a 
        finding with supporting justification that the tobacco product 
        standard is no longer appropriate for the protection of the 
        public health.
            ``(4) Comment.--The Secretary shall provide for a comment 
        period of not less than 60 days.
    ``(d) Promulgation.--
            ``(1) In general.--After the expiration of the period for 
        comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking published under 
        subsection (c) respecting a tobacco product standard and after 
        consideration of comments submitted under subsections (b) and 
        (c) and any report from the Tobacco Products Scientific 
        Advisory Committee, the Secretary shall--
                    ``(A) if the Secretary determines that the standard 
                would be appropriate for the protection of the public 
                health, promulgate a regulation establishing a tobacco 
                product standard and publish in the Federal Register 
                findings on the matters referred to in subsection (c); 
                or
                    ``(B) publish a notice terminating the proceeding 
                for the development of the standard together with the 
                reasons for such termination.
            ``(2) Effective date.--A regulation establishing a tobacco 
        product standard shall set forth the date or dates upon which 
        the standard shall take effect, but no such regulation may take 
        effect before 1 year after the date of its publication unless 
        the Secretary determines that an earlier effective date is 
        necessary for the protection of the public health. Such date or 
        dates shall be established so as to minimize, consistent with 
        the public health, economic loss to, and disruption or 
        dislocation of, domestic and international trade. In 
        establishing such effective date or dates, the Secretary shall 
        consider information submitted in connection with a proposed 
        product standard by interested parties, including manufacturers 
        and tobacco growers, regarding the technical achievability of 
        compliance with the standard, and including information 
        concerning the existence of patents that make it impossible to 
        comply in the timeframe envisioned in the proposed standard. If 
        the Secretary determines, based on the Secretary's evaluation 
        of submitted comments, that a product standard can be met only 
        by manufacturers requiring substantial changes to the methods 
        of farming the domestically grown tobacco used by the 
        manufacturer, the effective date of that product standard shall 
        be not less than 2 years after the date of publication of the 
        final regulation establishing the standard.
            ``(3) Limitation on power granted to the food and drug 
        administration.--Because of the importance of a decision of the 
        Secretary to issue a regulation--

                products, all little cigars, all cigars other than

                a tobacco product to zero,

        Act.
            ``(4) Amendment; revocation.--
                    ``(A) Authority.--The Secretary, upon the 
                Secretary's own initiative or upon petition of an 
                interested person, may by a regulation, promulgated in 
                accordance with the requirements of subsection (c) and 
                paragraph (2), amend or revoke a tobacco product 
                standard.
                    ``(B) Effective date.--The Secretary may declare a 
                proposed amendment of a tobacco product standard to be 
                effective on and after its publication in the Federal 
                Register and until the effective date of any final 
                action taken on such amendment if the Secretary 
                determines that making it so effective is in the public 
                interest.

                Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee for a

        cigarettes on the public health, including such use among

``SEC. 908. NOTIFICATION AND OTHER REMEDIES.

    ``(a) Notification.--If the Secretary determines that--

        for introduction into interstate commerce for commercial 
        distribution presents an unreasonable risk of substantial harm 
        to the public health; and

        eliminate the unreasonable risk of such harm and no more 
        practicable means is available under the provisions of this 
        chapter (other than this section) to eliminate such risk,
the Secretary may issue such order as may be necessary to assure that 
adequate notification is provided in an appropriate form, by the 
persons and means best suited under the circumstances involved, to all 
persons who should properly receive such notification in order to 
eliminate such risk. The Secretary may order notification by any 
appropriate means, including public service announcements. Before 
issuing an order under this subsection, the Secretary shall consult 
with the persons who are to give notice under the order.
    ``(b) No Exemption From Other Liability.--Compliance with an order 
issued under this section shall not relieve any person from liability 
under Federal or State law. In awarding damages for economic loss in an 
action brought for the enforcement of any such liability, the value to 
the plaintiff in such action of any remedy provided under such order 
shall be taken into account.
    ``(c) Recall Authority.--
            ``(1) In general.--If the Secretary finds that there is a 
        reasonable probability that a tobacco product contains a 
        manufacturing or other defect not ordinarily contained in 
        tobacco products on the market that would cause serious, 
        adverse health consequences or death, the Secretary shall issue 
        an order requiring the appropriate person (including the 
        manufacturers, importers, distributors, or retailers of the 
        tobacco product) to immediately cease distribution of such 
        tobacco product. The order shall provide the person subject to 
        the order with an opportunity for an informal hearing, to be 
        held not later than 10 days after the date of the issuance of 
        the order, on the actions required by the order and on whether 
        the order should be amended to require a recall of such tobacco 
        product. If, after providing an opportunity for such a hearing, 
        the Secretary determines that inadequate grounds exist to 
        support the actions required by the order, the Secretary shall 
        vacate the order.

                opportunity for an informal hearing under paragraph

                amended to include a recall of the tobacco product with 
                respect to which the order was issued, the Secretary 
                shall, except as provided in subparagraph (B), amend 
                the order to require a recall. The Secretary shall 
                specify a timetable in which the tobacco product recall 
                will occur and shall require periodic reports to the 
                Secretary describing the progress of the recall.

                In providing the notice required by clause (ii), the 
                Secretary may use the assistance of retailers and other 
                persons who distributed such tobacco product. If a 
                significant number of such persons cannot be 
                identified, the Secretary shall notify such persons 
                under section 705(b).
            ``(3) Remedy not exclusive.--The remedy provided by this 
        subsection shall be in addition to remedies provided by 
        subsection (a).

    ``(a) In General.--Every person who is a tobacco product 
manufacturer or importer of a tobacco product shall establish and 
maintain such records, make such reports, and provide such information,

protect public health. Regulations prescribed under the preceding 
sentence--

        importer to report to the Secretary whenever the manufacturer 
        or importer receives or otherwise becomes aware of information

        products may have caused or contributed to a serious unexpected 
        adverse experience associated with the use of the product or 
        any significant increase in the frequency of a serious, 
        expected adverse product experience;

        tobacco product experiences as determined by the Secretary to 
        be necessary to be reported;

                to a tobacco product standard which is in effect under 
                section 907, compliance with which was a condition to 
                the issuance of an order relating to the application,

        serious, adverse health consequences or death, that is greater 
        than ordinarily caused by tobacco products on the market, the 
        Secretary shall by order temporarily suspend the authority of 
        the manufacturer to market the product. If the Secretary issues 
        such an order, the Secretary shall proceed expeditiously under

        records, and make such reports to the Secretary, as the 
        Secretary may by regulation, or by order with respect to such 
        application, prescribe on the basis of a finding that such 
        records and reports are necessary in order to enable the 
        Secretary to determine, or facilitate a determination of,

        (4), if--
                    ``(A) the tobacco products of such manufacturer are 
                in compliance with all other requirements of this 
                chapter; and

        section, the Secretary may delay the date by which a small 
        tobacco product manufacturer must be in compliance with the 
        testing and reporting required by this section until such time 
        as the testing is reported if, not later than 90 days before 
        the deadline for reporting in accordance with this section, a

                reasonable expectation of completion by the deadline;

                laboratory is able to complete testing by the deadline 
                at customary, nonexpedited testing fees.
            ``(3) Extension.--The Secretary, taking into account the 
        laboratory testing capacity that is available to tobacco 
        product manufacturers, shall review and verify the evidence 
        submitted by a small tobacco product manufacturer in accordance 
        with paragraph (2). If the Secretary finds that the conditions 
        described in such paragraph are met, the Secretary shall notify 
        the small tobacco product manufacturer that the manufacturer 
        shall not be considered to be in violation of the testing and 
        reporting requirements of this section until the testing is 
        reported or until 1 year after the reporting deadline has 
        passed, whichever occurs sooner. If, however, the Secretary has 
        not made a finding before the reporting deadline, the 
        manufacturer shall not be considered to be in violation of such 
        requirements until the Secretary finds that the conditions 
        described in paragraph (2) have not been met, or until 1 year 
        after the reporting deadline, whichever occurs sooner.

        may be provided under paragraph (3), the Secretary may provide 
        further extensions of time, in increments of no more than 1 
        year, for required testing and reporting to occur if the 
        Secretary determines, based on evidence properly and timely 
        submitted by a small tobacco product manufacturer in accordance 
        with paragraph (2), that a lack of available laboratory 
        capacity prevents the manufacturer from completing the required 
        testing during the period described in paragraph (3).
    ``(f) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in subsection (d) or (e) shall 
be construed to authorize the extension of any deadline, or to 
otherwise affect any timeframe, under any provision of this Act or the 
Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act other than this 
section.

promote greater public understanding of the risks associated with the 
use of tobacco products.''.

    (a) In General.--Section 8415 of title 5, United States Code, is 
amended--
            (1) by redesignating the second subsection (k) and 
        subsection (l) as subsections (l) and (m), respectively; and
            (2) in subsection (l) (as so redesignated by paragraph 
        (1))--
                    (A) by striking ``(l) In computing'' and inserting 
                ``(l)(1) In computing''; and
                    (B) by adding at the end the following:
    ``(2) Except as provided in paragraph (1), in computing an annuity 
under this subchapter, the total service of an employee who retires on 
an immediate annuity or who dies leaving a survivor or survivors 
entitled to annuity includes the days of unused sick leave to his 
credit under a formal leave system, except that these days will not be 
counted in determining average pay or annuity eligibility under this 
subchapter. For purposes of this subsection, in the case of any such 
employee who is excepted from subchapter I of chapter 63 under section 
6301(2)(x)-(xiii), the days of unused sick leave to his credit include 
any unused sick leave standing to his credit when he was excepted from 
such subchapter.''.
    (b) Exception From Deposit Requirement.--Section 8422(d)(2) of 
title 5, United States Code, is amended by striking ``section 8415(k)'' 
and inserting ``paragraph (1) or (2) of section 8415(l)''.
    (c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall 
apply with respect to annuities computed based on separations occurring 
on or after the date of enactment of this Act.
