          STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS

      By Mr. DeWINE (for himself, Mr. Kennedy, and Mr. Jeffords):
  S. 2974. A bill to protect the public health by providing the Food 
and Drug Administration with certain authority to regulate tobacco 
products; considered and passed.
  Mr. DEWINE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of 
the bill be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the bill was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:

                                S. 2974

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Family Smoking Prevention 
     and Tobacco Control Act''.

     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 6,500,000 of today's children from 
     becoming regular, daily smokers, saving over 2,000,000 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 2001, the tobacco industry spent more than 
     $11,000,000,000 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 advertising 
     than adults, they smoke the most advertised 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, 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 plays 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

[[Page S11092]]

     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 insuring 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 approved in advance of 
     marketing, and to require that the evidence relied on to 
     support approval of these products is rigorous.

     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;
       (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 
     adults in conjunction with measures to ensure that they are 
     not sold or accessible to underage purchasers;
       (8) to impose appropriate regulatory controls on the 
     tobacco industry;
       (9) to promote cessation to reduce disease risk and the 
     social costs associated with tobacco related diseases; and
       (10) to strengthen legislation against illicit trade in 
     tobacco products.

     with any other article or product regulated under this Act 
     (including a drug, biologic, food, cosmetics, medical device, 
     or a dietary supplement).''.
       (b) FDA Authority Over Tobacco Products.--The Federal Food,

     time is extended by the Secretary by a notice published in 
     the Federal Register stating good cause therefore.
       ``(c) Limited Confidentiality of Information.--Any 
     information 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 non-users 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

[[Page S11096]]

     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.
       ``(e) Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements.--
       ``(1) Methods, facilities, and controls to conform.--
       ``(A) In general.--The Secretary may, 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, pre-production 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, as prescribed in such 
     regulations, to assure that the public health is protected 
     and that the tobacco product is in compliance with this 
     chapter. Good manufacturing practices may include the testing 
     of raw tobacco for pesticide chemical residues regardless of 
     whether a tolerance for such chemical residues has been 
     established.
       ``(B) Requirements.--The Secretary shall--
       ``(i) before promulgating any regulation under subparagraph 
     (A), afford the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory 
     Committee an opportunity to submit recommendations with 
     respect to the regulation proposed to be promulgated;
       ``(ii) before promulgating any regulation under 
     subparagraph (A), afford opportunity for an oral hearing;
       ``(iii) provide the advisory committee a reasonable time to 
     make its recommendation with respect to proposed regulations 
     under subparagraph (A); and
       ``(iv) in establishing the effective date of a regulation 
     promulgated under this subsection, take into account the 
     differences in the manner in which the different types of 
     tobacco products have historically been produced, the 
     financial resources of the different tobacco product 
     manufacturers, and the state of their existing manufacturing 
     facilities, and shall provide for a reasonable period of time 
     for such manufacturers to conform to good manufacturing 
     practices.
       ``(2) Exemptions; variances.--
       ``(A) Petition.--Any person subject to any requirement 
     prescribed under paragraph (1) may petition the Secretary for 
     a permanent or temporary exemption or variance from such 
     requirement. Such a petition shall be submitted to the 
     Secretary in such form and manner as the Secretary shall 
     prescribe and shall--
       ``(i) in the case of a petition for an exemption from a 
     requirement, set forth the basis for the petitioner's 
     determination that compliance with the requirement is not 
     required to assure that the tobacco product will be in 
     compliance with this chapter;
       ``(ii) in the case of a petition for a variance from a 
     requirement, set forth the methods proposed to be used in, 
     and the facilities and controls proposed to be used for, the 
     manufacture, packing, and storage of the tobacco product in 
     lieu of the methods, facilities, and controls prescribed by 
     the requirement; and
       ``(iii) contain such other information as the Secretary 
     shall prescribe.
       ``(B) Referral to the tobacco products scientific advisory 
     committee.--The Secretary may refer to the Tobacco Products 
     Scientific Advisory Committee any petition submitted under 
     subparagraph (A). The Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory 
     Committee shall report its recommendations to the Secretary 
     with respect to a petition referred to it within 60 days 
     after the date of the petition's referral. Within 60 days 
     after--
       ``(i) the date the petition was submitted to the Secretary 
     under subparagraph (A); or
       ``(ii) the day after the petition was referred to the 
     Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee,
     whichever occurs later, the Secretary shall by order either 
     deny the petition or approve it.
       ``(C) Approval.--The Secretary may approve--
       ``(i) a petition for an exemption for a tobacco product 
     from a requirement if the Secretary determines that 
     compliance with such requirement is not required to assure 
     that the tobacco product will be in compliance with this 
     chapter; and
       ``(ii) a petition for a variance for a tobacco product from 
     a requirement if the Secretary determines that the methods to 
     be used in, and the facilities and controls to be used for, 
     the manufacture, packing, and storage of the tobacco product 
     in lieu of the methods, controls, and facilities prescribed 
     by the requirement are sufficient to assure that the tobacco 
     product will be in compliance with this chapter.
       ``(D) Conditions.--An order of the Secretary approving a 
     petition for a variance shall prescribe such conditions 
     respecting the methods used in, and the facilities and 
     controls used for, the manufacture, packing, and storage of 
     the tobacco product to be granted the variance under the 
     petition as may be necessary to assure that the tobacco 
     product will be in compliance with this chapter.
       ``(E) Hearing.--After the issuance of an order under 
     subparagraph (B) respecting a petition, the petitioner shall 
     have an opportunity for an informal hearing on such order.
       ``(3) Compliance.--Compliance with requirements under this 
     subsection shall not be required before the period ending 3 
     years after the date of enactment of the Family Smoking 
     Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.
       ``(f) Research and Development.--The Secretary may enter 
     into contracts for research, testing, and demonstrations 
     respecting tobacco products and may obtain tobacco 
     products for research, testing, and demonstration purposes 
     without regard to section 3324(a) and (b) of title 31, 
     United States Code, and section 5 of title 41, United 
     States Code.

     ``SEC. 907. TOBACCO PRODUCT STANDARDS.

       ``(a) In General.--
       ``(1) Special rule for cigarettes.--A cigarette or any of 
     its component parts (including the tobacco, filter, or paper) 
     shall not contain, as a constituent (including a smoke 
     constituent) or additive, an artificial or natural flavor 
     (other than tobacco or menthol) or an herb or spice, 
     including strawberry, grape, orange, clove, cinnamon, 
     pineapple, vanilla, coconut, licorice, cocoa, chocolate, 
     cherry, or coffee, that is a characterizing flavor of the 
     tobacco product or tobacco smoke. Nothing in this 
     subparagraph shall be construed to limit the Secretary's 
     authority to take action under this section or other sections 
     of this Act applicable to menthol or any artificial or 
     natural flavor, herb, or spice not specified in this 
     paragraph.
       ``(2) Revision of tobacco product standards.--The Secretary 
     may revise the tobacco product standards in paragraph (1) in 
     accordance with subsection (b).
       ``(3) Tobacco product standards.--The Secretary may adopt 
     tobacco product standards in addition to those in paragraph 
     (1) if the Secretary finds that a tobacco product standard is 
     appropriate for the protection of the public health. This 
     finding shall be determined with respect to the risks and 
     benefits to the population as a whole, including users and 
     non-users 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.
       ``(4) Content of tobacco product standards.--A tobacco 
     product standard established under this section for a tobacco 
     product--
       ``(A) shall include provisions that are appropriate for the 
     protection of the public health, including provisions, where 
     appropriate--
       ``(i) for the reduction of nicotine yields of the product;
       ``(ii) for the reduction or elimination of other 
     constituents, including smoke constituents, or harmful 
     components of the product; or
       ``(iii) relating to any other requirement under (B);

     ingredients, additives, constituents, including smoke 
     constituents, and properties of the tobacco product;

     certain of the tests of the tobacco product required to be 
     made under clause (ii) show that the tobacco product is in 
     conformity with the portions of the standard for which the 
     test or tests were required; and
       ``(v) a provision requiring that the sale and distribution 
     of the tobacco product be restricted but only to the extent 
     that the sale and distribution of a tobacco product may be

       ``(C) shall, where appropriate, require the use and 
     prescribe the form and content of labeling for the proper use 
     of the tobacco product.
       ``(5) Periodic re-evaluation of tobacco product 
     standards.--The Secretary shall provide for periodic 
     evaluation of tobacco product standards established under 
     this section to determine whether such standards should be 
     changed to reflect new medical, scientific, or other 
     technological data. The Secretary may provide for testing 
     under paragraph (4)(B) by any person.
       ``(6) Involvement of other agencies; informed persons.--In 
     carrying out duties under this section, the Secretary shall 
     endeavor to--

[[Page S11097]]

       ``(A) use personnel, facilities, and other technical 
     support available in other Federal agencies;
       ``(B) consult with other Federal agencies concerned with 
     standard-setting and other nationally or internationally 
     recognized standard-setting entities; and
       ``(C) invite appropriate participation, through joint or 
     other conferences, workshops, or other means, by informed 
     persons representative of scientific, professional, industry, 
     agricultural, or consumer organizations who in the 
     Secretary's judgment can make a significant contribution.
       ``(b) Establishment of Standards.--
       ``(1) Notice.--
       ``(A) 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.
       ``(B) Requirements of notice.--A notice of proposed 
     rulemaking for the establishment or amendment of a tobacco 
     product standard for a tobacco product shall--
       ``(i) set forth a finding with supporting justification 
     that the tobacco product standard is appropriate for the 
     protection of the public health;
       ``(ii) set forth proposed findings with respect to the risk 
     of illness or injury that the tobacco product standard is 
     intended to reduce or eliminate; and
       ``(iii) invite interested persons to submit an existing 
     tobacco product standard for the tobacco product, including a 
     draft or proposed tobacco product standard, for consideration 
     by the Secretary.
       ``(C) Standard.--Upon a determination by the Secretary that 
     an additive, constituent (including smoke constituent), or 
     other component of the product that is the subject of the 
     proposed tobacco product standard is harmful, it shall be the 
     burden of any party challenging the proposed standard to 
     prove that the proposed standard will not reduce or eliminate 
     the risk of illness or injury.
       ``(D) 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.
       ``(E) Consideration by secretary.--The Secretary shall 
     consider all 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 
     non-tobacco 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, and shall issue the standard if the Secretary 
     determines that the standard would be appropriate for the 
     protection of the public health.
       ``(F) Comment.--The Secretary shall provide for a comment 
     period of not less than 60 days.
       ``(2) Promulgation.--
       ``(A) In general.--After the expiration of the period for 
     comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking published under 
     paragraph (1) respecting a tobacco product standard and after 
     consideration of such comments and any report from the 
     Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee, the Secretary 
     shall--
       ``(i) promulgate a regulation establishing a tobacco 
     product standard and publish in the Federal Register findings 
     on the matters referred to in paragraph (1); or
       ``(ii) publish a notice terminating the proceeding for the 
     development of the standard together with the reasons for 
     such termination.
       ``(B) 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.
       ``(3) Power reserved to congress.--Because of the 
     importance of a decision of the Secretary to issue a 
     regulation establishing a tobacco product standard--
       ``(A) banning all cigarettes, all smokeless tobacco 
     products, all little cigars, all cigars other than little 
     cigars, all pipe tobacco, or all roll your own tobacco 
     products; or

       ``(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 paragraphs (1) and (2)(B), 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.
       ``(5) Reference to advisory committee.--The Secretary may--
       ``(A) on the Secretary's own initiative, refer a proposed 
     regulation for the establishment, amendment, or revocation of 
     a tobacco product standard; or
       ``(B) upon the request of an interested person which 
     demonstrates good cause for referral and which is made before 
     the expiration of the period for submission of comments on 
     such proposed regulation,

     refer such proposed regulation to the Tobacco Products 
     Scientific Advisory Committee, for a report and 
     recommendation with respect to any matter involved in the 
     proposed regulation which requires the exercise of scientific 
     judgment. If a proposed regulation is referred under this 
     paragraph to the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory 
     Committee, the Secretary shall provide the advisory committee 
     with the data and information on which such proposed 
     regulation is based. The Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory 
     Committee shall, within 60 days after the referral of a 
     proposed regulation and after independent study of the data 
     and information furnished to it by the Secretary and other 
     data and information before it, submit to the Secretary a 
     report and recommendation respecting such regulation, 
     together with all underlying data and information and a 
     statement of the reason or basis for the recommendation. A 
     copy of such report and recommendation shall be made public 
     by the Secretary.

     ``SEC. 908. NOTIFICATION AND OTHER REMEDIES.

       ``(a) Notification.--If the Secretary determines that--
       ``(1) a tobacco product which is introduced or delivered 
     for introduction into interstate commerce for commercial 
     distribution presents an unreasonable risk of substantial 
     harm to the public health; and
       ``(2) notification under this subsection is necessary to 
     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.
       ``(2) Amendment of order to require recall.--
       ``(A) In general.--If, after providing an opportunity for 
     an informal hearing under paragraph (1), the Secretary 
     determines that the order should be 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.
       ``(B) Notice.--An amended order under subparagraph (A)--
       ``(i) shall not include recall of a tobacco product from 
     individuals; and
       ``(ii) shall provide for notice to persons subject to the 
     risks associated with the use of such tobacco product.

     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) of this section.

     ``SEC. 909. RECORDS AND REPORTS ON TOBACCO PRODUCTS.

       ``(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, as the Secretary

[[Page S11098]]

     may by regulation reasonably require to assure that such 
     tobacco product is not adulterated or misbranded and to 
     otherwise protect public health. Regulations prescribed under 
     the preceding sentence--
       ``(1) may require a tobacco product manufacturer or 
     importer to report to the Secretary whenever the manufacturer 
     or importer receives or otherwise becomes aware of 
     information that reasonably suggests that one of its marketed 
     tobacco 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;
       ``(2) shall require reporting of other significant adverse 
     tobacco product experiences as determined by the Secretary to 
     be necessary to be reported;
       ``(3) shall not impose requirements unduly burdensome to a 
     tobacco product manufacturer or importer, taking into account 
     the cost of complying with such requirements and the need for 
     the protection of the public health and the implementation of 
     this chapter;
       ``(4) when prescribing the procedure for making requests 
     for reports or information, shall require that each request 
     made under such regulations for submission of a report or 
     information to the Secretary state the reason or purpose for 
     such request and identify to the fullest extent practicable 
     such report or information;
       ``(5) when requiring submission of a report or information 
     to the Secretary, shall state the reason or purpose for the 
     submission of such report or information and identify to the 
     fullest extent practicable such report or information; and
       ``(6) may not require that the identity of any patient or 
     user be disclosed in records, reports, or information 
     required under this subsection unless required for the 
     medical welfare of an individual, to determine risks to 
     public health of a tobacco product, or to verify a record, 
     report, or information submitted under this chapter.

     In prescribing regulations under this subsection, the 
     Secretary shall have due regard for the professional ethics 
     of the medical profession and the interests of patients. The 
     prohibitions of paragraph (6) continue to apply to records,

     been a patient, irrespective of whether or when he ceases to 
     be a patient.
       ``(b) Reports of Removals and Corrections.--
       ``(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the 
     Secretary shall by regulation require a tobacco product 
     manufacturer or importer of a tobacco product to report 
     promptly to the Secretary any corrective action taken or 
     removal from the market of a tobacco product undertaken by 
     such manufacturer or importer if the removal or correction 
     was undertaken--
       ``(A) to reduce a risk to health posed by the tobacco 
     product; or
       ``(B) to remedy a violation of this chapter caused by the 
     tobacco product which may present a risk to health.

     A tobacco product manufacturer or importer of a tobacco 
     product who undertakes a corrective action or removal from 
     the market of a tobacco product which is not required to be 
     reported under this subsection shall keep a record of such 
     correction or removal.
       ``(2) Exception.--No report of the corrective action or 
     removal of a tobacco product may be required under paragraph 
     (1) if a report of the corrective action or removal is 
     required and has been submitted under subsection (a).

                   PRODUCTS.

       ``(a) In General.--
       ``(1) New tobacco product defined.--For purposes of this 
     section the term `new tobacco product' means--
       ``(A) any tobacco product (including those products in test 
     markets) that was not commercially marketed in the United 
     States as of June 1, 2003; or
       ``(B) any modification (including a change in design, any 
     component, any part, or any constituent, including a smoke 
     constituent, or in the content, delivery or form of nicotine, 
     or any other additive or ingredient) of a tobacco product 
     where the modified product was commercially marketed in the 
     United States after June 1, 2003.
       ``(2) Premarket approval required.--
       ``(A) New products.--Approval under this section of an 
     application for premarket approval for any new tobacco 
     product is required unless--
       ``(i) the manufacturer has submitted a report under section 
     905(j); and
       ``(ii) the Secretary has issued an order that the tobacco 
     product--

       ``(I) is substantially equivalent to a tobacco product 
     commercially marketed (other than for test marketing) in the 
     United States as of June 1, 2003; and
       ``(II)(aa) is in compliance with the requirements of this 
     Act; or
       ``(bb) is exempt from the requirements of section 905(j) 
     pursuant to a regulation issued under section 905(j)(3).

       ``(B) Application to certain post june 1, 2003 products.--
     Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to a tobacco product--
       ``(i) that was first introduced or delivered for 
     introduction into interstate commerce for commercial 
     distribution in the United States after June 1, 2003, and 
     prior to the date that is 15 months after the date of 
     enactment of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco 
     Control Act; and
       ``(ii) for which a report was submitted under section 
     905(j) within such 15-month period, until the Secretary 
     issues an order that the tobacco product is not substantially 
     equivalent.
       ``(3) Substantially equivalent defined.--
       ``(A) In general.--In this section and section 905(j), the 
     terms `substantially equivalent' or `substantial equivalence' 
     mean, with respect to the tobacco product being compared to 
     the predicate tobacco product, that the Secretary by order 
     has found that the tobacco product--
       ``(i) has the same characteristics as the predicate tobacco 
     product; or
       ``(ii) has different characteristics and the information 
     submitted contains information, including clinical data if 
     deemed necessary by the Secretary, that demonstrates that it 
     is not appropriate to regulate the product under this section 
     because the product does not raise different questions of 
     public health.
       ``(B) Characteristics.--In subparagraph (A), the term 
     `characteristics' means the materials, ingredients, design, 
     composition, heating source, or other features of a tobacco 
     product.
       ``(C) Limitation.--A tobacco product may not be found to be 
     substantially equivalent to a predicate tobacco product that 
     has been removed from the market at the initiative of the 
     Secretary or that has been determined by a judicial order to 
     be misbranded or adulterated.
       ``(4) Health information.--
       ``(A) Summary.--As part of a submission under section 
     905(j) respecting a tobacco product, the person required to 
     file a premarket notification under such section shall 
     provide an adequate summary of any health information related 
     to the tobacco product or state that such information will be 
     made available upon request by any person.
       ``(B) Required information.--Any summary under subparagraph 
     (A) respecting a tobacco product shall contain detailed 
     information regarding data concerning adverse health effects 
     and shall be made available to the public by the Secretary 
     within 30 days of the issuance of a determination that such 
     tobacco product is substantially equivalent to another 
     tobacco product.
       ``(b) Application.--
       ``(1) Contents.--An application for premarket approval 
     shall contain--
       ``(A) full reports of all information, published or known 
     to, or which should reasonably be known to, the applicant, 
     concerning investigations which have been made to show the 
     health risks of such tobacco product and whether such tobacco 
     product presents less risk than other tobacco products;
       ``(B) a full statement of the components, ingredients, 
     additives, and properties, and of the principle or principles 
     of operation, of such tobacco product;
       ``(C) a full description of the methods used in, and the 
     facilities and controls used for, the manufacture, 
     processing, and, when relevant, packing and installation of, 
     such tobacco product;

     standard under section 907 which would be applicable to any 
     aspect of such tobacco product, and either adequate 
     information to show that such aspect of such tobacco product 
     fully meets such tobacco product standard or adequate 
     information to justify any deviation from such standard;
       ``(E) such samples of such tobacco product and of 
     components thereof as the Secretary may reasonably require;
       ``(F) specimens of the labeling proposed to be used for 
     such tobacco product; and
       ``(G) such other information relevant to the subject matter 
     of the application as the Secretary may require.
       ``(2) Reference to tobacco products scientific advisory 
     committee.--Upon receipt of an application meeting the 
     requirements set forth in paragraph (1), the Secretary--
       ``(A) may, on the Secretary's own initiative; or
       ``(B) may, upon the request of an applicant,

     refer such application to the Tobacco Products Scientific 
     Advisory Committee for reference and for submission (within 
     such period as the Secretary may establish) of a report and 
     recommendation respecting approval of the application, 
     together with all underlying data and the reasons or basis 
     for the recommendation.
       ``(c) Action on Application.--
       ``(1) Deadline.--
       ``(A) In general.--As promptly as possible, but in no event 
     later than 180 days after the receipt of an application under 
     subsection (b), the Secretary, after considering the report 
     and recommendation submitted under paragraph (2) of such 
     subsection, shall--
       ``(i) issue an order approving the application if the 
     Secretary finds that none of the grounds for denying approval 
     specified in paragraph (2) of this subsection applies; or
       ``(ii) deny approval of the application if the Secretary 
     finds (and sets forth the basis for such finding as part of 
     or accompanying such denial) that 1 or more grounds for 
     denial specified in paragraph (2) of this subsection apply.
       ``(B) Restrictions on sale and distribution.--An order 
     approving an application for a tobacco product may require as 
     a condition to such approval that the sale and distribution 
     of the tobacco product be restricted but only to the extent 
     that the sale and distribution of a tobacco product may be 
     restricted under a regulation under section 906(d).

[[Page S11099]]

       ``(2) Denial of approval.--The Secretary shall deny 
     approval of an application for a tobacco product if, upon the 
     basis of the information submitted to the Secretary as part 
     of the application and any other information before the 
     Secretary with respect to such tobacco product, the Secretary 
     finds that--
       ``(A) there is a lack of a showing that permitting such 
     tobacco product to be marketed would be appropriate for the 
     protection of the public health;
       ``(B) the methods used in, or the facilities or controls 
     used for, the manufacture, processing, or packing of such 
     tobacco product do not conform to the requirements of section 
     906(e);
       ``(C) based on a fair evaluation of all material facts, the 
     proposed labeling is false or misleading in any particular; 
     or
       ``(D) such tobacco product is not shown to conform in all 
     respects to a tobacco product standard in effect under 
     section 907, compliance with which is a condition to approval 
     of the application, and there is a lack of adequate 
     information to justify the deviation from such standard.
       ``(3) Denial information.--Any denial of an application 
     shall, insofar as the Secretary determines to be practicable, 
     be accompanied by a statement informing the applicant of the 
     measures required to place such application in approvable 
     form (which measures may include further research by the 
     applicant in accordance with 1 or more protocols prescribed 
     by the Secretary).
       ``(4) Basis for finding.--For purposes of this section, the 
     finding as to whether approval of a tobacco product is 
     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.
       ``(5) Basis for action.--
       ``(A) Investigations.--For purposes of paragraph (2)(A), 
     whether permitting a tobacco product to be marketed would be 
     appropriate for the protection of the public health shall, 
     when appropriate, be determined on the basis of well-
     controlled investigations, which may include 1 or more 
     clinical investigations by experts qualified by training and 
     experience to evaluate the tobacco product.
       ``(B) Other evidence.--If the Secretary determines that 
     there exists valid scientific evidence (other than evidence 
     derived from investigations described in subparagraph (A)) 
     which is sufficient to evaluate the tobacco product the 
     Secretary may authorize that the determination for purposes 
     of paragraph (2)(A) be made on the basis of such evidence.
       ``(d) Withdrawal and Temporary Suspension.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall, upon obtaining, 
     where appropriate, advice on scientific matters from an 
     advisory committee, and after due notice and opportunity for 
     informal hearing to the holder of an approved application for 
     a tobacco product, issue an order withdrawing approval of the 
     application if the Secretary finds--
       ``(A) that the continued marketing of such tobacco product 
     no longer is appropriate for the protection of the public 
     health;
       ``(B) that the application contained or was accompanied by 
     an untrue statement of a material fact;
       ``(C) that the applicant--
       ``(i) has failed to establish a system for maintaining 
     records, or has repeatedly or deliberately failed to maintain 
     records or to make reports, required by an applicable 
     regulation under section 909;
       ``(ii) has refused to permit access to, or copying or 
     verification of, such records as required by section 704; or
       ``(iii) has not complied with the requirements of section 
     905;
       ``(D) on the basis of new information before the Secretary 
     with respect to such tobacco product, evaluated together with 
     the evidence before the Secretary when the application was 
     approved, that the methods used in, or the facilities and 
     controls used for, the manufacture, processing, packing, or 
     installation of such tobacco product do not conform with the 
     requirements of section 906(e) and were not brought into 
     conformity with such requirements within a reasonable time 
     after receipt of written notice from the Secretary of 
     nonconformity;
       ``(E) on the basis of new information before the Secretary, 
     evaluated together with the evidence before the Secretary 
     when the application was approved, that the labeling of such 
     tobacco product, based on a fair evaluation of all material 
     facts, is false or misleading in any particular and was not 
     corrected within a reasonable time after receipt of written 
     notice from the Secretary of such fact; or
       ``(F) on the basis of new information before the Secretary, 
     evaluated together with the evidence before the Secretary 
     when the application was approved, that such tobacco product 
     is not shown to conform in all respects to a tobacco product 
     standard which is in effect under section 907, compliance 
     with which was a condition to approval of the application, 
     and that there is a lack of adequate information to justify 
     the deviation from such standard.
       ``(2) Appeal.--The holder of an application subject to an 
     order issued under paragraph (1) withdrawing approval of the 
     application may, by petition filed on or before the 30th day 
     after the date upon which such holder receives notice of such 
     withdrawal, obtain review thereof in accordance with 
     subsection (e).
       ``(3) Temporary suspension.--If, after providing an 
     opportunity for an informal hearing, the Secretary determines 
     there is reasonable probability that the continuation of 
     distribution of a tobacco product under an approved 
     application would cause 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 approval of the application approved 
     under this section. If the Secretary issues such an order, 
     the Secretary shall proceed expeditiously under paragraph (1) 
     to withdraw such application.
       ``(e) Service of Order.--An order issued by the Secretary 
     under this section shall be served--
       ``(1) in person by any officer or employee of the 
     department designated by the Secretary; or
       ``(2) by mailing the order by registered mail or certified 
     mail addressed to the applicant at the applicant's last known 
     address in the records of the Secretary.
       ``(f) Records.--
       ``(1) Additional information.--In the case of any tobacco 
     product for which an approval of an application filed under 
     subsection (b) is in effect, the applicant shall establish 
     and maintain such 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, whether there is or may be grounds for 
     withdrawing or temporarily suspending such approval.
       ``(2) Access to records.--Each person required under this 
     section to maintain records, and each person in charge or 
     custody thereof, shall, upon request of an officer or 
     employee designated by the Secretary, permit such officer or 
     employee at all reasonable times to have access to and copy 
     and verify such records.
       ``(g) Investigational Tobacco Product Exemption for 
     Investigational Use.--The Secretary may exempt tobacco 
     products intended for investigational use from the provisions 
     of this chapter under such conditions as the Secretary may by 
     regulation prescribe.

       ``(a) In General.--No person may introduce or deliver for 
     introduction into interstate commerce any modified risk 
     tobacco product unless approval of an application filed 
     pursuant to subsection (d) is effective with respect to such 
     product.
       ``(b) Definitions.--In this section:

     of tobacco-related disease associated with commercially 
     marketed tobacco products' means a tobacco product--
       ``(A) the label, labeling, or advertising of which 
     represents explicitly or implicitly that--

     related disease or is less harmful than one or more other 
     commercially marketed tobacco products;
       ``(II) the tobacco product or its smoke contains a reduced 
     level of a substance or presents a reduced exposure to a 
     substance; or

     any action directed to consumers through the media or 
     otherwise, other than by means of the tobacco product's 
     label, labeling or advertising, after the date of enactment 
     of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, 
     respecting the product that would be reasonably expected to 
     result in consumers believing that the tobacco product or its 
     smoke may present a lower risk of disease or is less harmful 
     than one or more commercially marketed tobacco products, or 
     presents a reduced exposure to, or does not contain or is 
     free of, a substance or substances.
       ``(B) Limitation.--No tobacco product shall be considered 
     to be `sold or distributed for use to reduce harm or the risk 
     of tobacco-related disease associated with commercially 
     marketed tobacco products', except as described in 
     subparagraph (A).
       ``(c) Tobacco Dependence Products.--A product that is 
     intended to be used for the treatment of tobacco dependence, 
     including smoking cessation, is not a modified risk tobacco 
     product under this section and is subject to the requirements 
     of chapter V.
       ``(d) Filing.--Any person may file with the Secretary an 
     application for a modified risk tobacco product. Such 
     application shall include--

     diseases and health-related conditions, including information 
     both favorable and unfavorable to the ability of the product 
     to reduce risk or exposure and relating to human health;

       ``(1) Modified risk products.--Except as provided in 
     paragraph (2), the Secretary shall approve an application for 
     a modified risk tobacco product filed under this section only 
     if the Secretary determines that the applicant has 
     demonstrated that such product, as it is actually used by 
     consumers, will--
       ``(A) significantly reduce harm and the risk of tobacco-
     related disease to individual tobacco users; and
       ``(B) 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.
       ``(2) Special rule for certain products.--
       ``(A) In general.--The Secretary may approve an application 
     for a tobacco product that has not been approved as a 
     modified risk tobacco product pursuant to paragraph (1) if 
     the Secretary makes the findings required under this 
     paragraph and determines that the applicant has demonstrated 
     that--
       ``(i) the approval of the application would be appropriate 
     to promote the public health;
       ``(ii) any aspect of the label, labeling, and advertising 
     for such product that would cause the tobacco product to be a 
     modified risk tobacco product under subsection (b)(2) is 
     limited to an explicit or implicit representation that such 
     tobacco product or its smoke contains or is free of a 
     substance or contains a reduced level of a substance, or 
     presents a reduced exposure to a substance in tobacco smoke.
       ``(iii) scientific evidence is not available and, using the 
     best available scientific methods, cannot be made available 
     without conducting long-term epidemiological studies for an 
     application to meet the standards set forth in paragraph (1); 
     and
       ``(iv) the scientific evidence that is available without 
     conducting long-term epidemiological studies demonstrates 
     that a measurable and substantial reduction in morbidity or 
     mortality among individual tobacco users is anticipated in 
     subsequent studies.
       ``(B) Additional findings required.--In order to approve an 
     application under subparagraph (A) the Secretary must also 
     find that the applicant has demonstrated that--
       ``(i) the magnitude of the overall reductions in exposure 
     to the substance or substances which are the subject of the 
     application is substantial, such substance or substances are 
     harmful, and the product as actually used exposes consumers 
     to the specified reduced level of the substance or 
     substances;
       ``(ii) the product as actually used by consumers will not 
     expose them to higher levels of other harmful substances 
     compared to the similar types of tobacco products then on the 
     market unless such increases are minimal and the anticipated 
     overall impact of use of the product remains a substantial 
     and measurable reduction in overall morbidity and mortality 
     among individual tobacco users;
       ``(iii) testing of actual consumer perception shows that, 
     as the applicant proposes to label and market the product, 
     consumers will not be misled into believing that the 
     product--

       ``(I) is or has been demonstrated to be less harmful; or
       ``(II) presents or has been demonstrated to present less of 
     a risk of disease than 1 or more other commercially marketed 
     tobacco products; and

       ``(iv) approval of the application is expected to 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.

       ``(i) In general.--Applications approved under this 
     paragraph shall be limited to a term of not more than 5 
     years, but may be renewed upon a finding by the Secretary 
     that the requirements of this paragraph continue to be 
     satisfied based on the filing of a new application.
       ``(ii) Agreements by applicant.--Applications approved 
     under this paragraph shall be conditioned on the applicant's 
     agreement to conduct post-market surveillance and studies and 
     to submit to the Secretary the results of such surveillance 
     and studies to determine the impact of the application 
     approval on consumer perception, behavior, and health and to 
     enable the Secretary to review the accuracy of the 
     determinations upon which the approval was based in 
     accordance with a protocol approved by the Secretary.
       ``(iii) Annual submission.--The results of such post-market 
     surveillance and studies described in clause (ii) shall be

     counterfeiting of tobacco products.

     receives, holds, packages, exports, or imports tobacco 
     products shall, at the request of an officer or employee duly 
     designated by the Secretary, permit such officer or employee,

     manufacturer or distributor of a tobacco product has 
     knowledge which reasonably supports the conclusion that a 
     tobacco product manufactured or distributed by such 
     manufacturer or distributor that has left the control of such 
     person may be or has been--

     enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United 
     States shall submit to the Committee on Health, Education,

       Section 13 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 
     U.S.C. 213) is amended by adding at the end the following:
       ``(k) Notwithstanding the provisions of subchapter II of 
     chapter 5 and chapter 7 of title 5, United States Code 
     (commonly referred to as the Administrative Procedures Act) 
     or any other provision of law, any portion of the final rule 
     promulgated on April 23, 2004, revising part 541 of title 29, 
     Code of Federal Regulations, that exempts from the overtime 
     pay provisions of section 7 any employee who would not 
     otherwise be exempt if the regulations in effect on March 31, 
     2003 remained in effect, shall have no force or effect and 
     that portion of such regulations (as in effect on March 31, 
     2003) that would prevent such employee from being exempt 
     shall remain in effect. Notwithstanding the preceding 
     sentence, the increased salary requirements provided for in 
     such final rule at section 541.600 of such title 29, shall 
     remain in effect.''.
