  DIVISION C--DESIGNATION OF NORTH KOREA AS STATE SPONSOR OF TERRORISM

     SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On October 11, 2008, the Department of State removed 
     North Korea from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, on 
     which it had been placed in 1988.
       (2) North Korea was removed from that list despite its 
     refusal to account fully for its abduction of foreign 
     citizens, proliferation of nuclear and other dangerous 
     technologies and weapon systems to other state sponsors of 
     terrorism, or its commission of other past acts of terrorism.
       (3) On March 17, 2009, American journalists Euna Lee and 
     Laura Ling were abducted near the Chinese-North Korean border 
     by agents of the North Korean government.
       (4) The Government of North Korea has announced that these 
     United States citizens will stand trial on June 4, 2009, 
     where they face imprisonment in a North Korean prison camp.
       (5) On April 5, 2009, the Government of North Korea tested 
     a long-range ballistic missile in violation of United Nations 
     Security Council Resolutions 1695 and 1718.
       (6) After purportedly disabling its Yongbyon nuclear 
     facility in 2008, the Government of North Korea has since 
     announced its re-commissioning.
       (7) On April 15, 2009, the Government of North Korea 
     announced it was expelling international inspectors from its 
     Yongbyon nuclear facility and ending its participation in 
     disarmament talks.
       (8) On May 25, 2009, the Government of North Korea 
     conducted a second illegal nuclear test, in addition to 
     conducting tests of its ballistic missile systems.
       (9) President Barack Obama stated that actions of the 
     Government of North Korea ``are a matter of grave concern to 
     all nations. North Korea's attempts to develop nuclear 
     weapons, as well as its ballistic missile program, constitute 
     a threat to international peace and security. By acting in 
     blatant defiance of the United Nations Security Council, 
     North Korea is directly and recklessly challenging the 
     international community. North Korea's behavior increases 
     tensions and undermines stability in Northeast Asia. Such 
     provocations will only serve to deepen North Korea's 
     isolation. It will not find international acceptance unless 
     it abandons its

[[Page S6054]]

     pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and their means of 
     delivery.''

     SEC. 102. DESIGNATION AS A COUNTRY THAT HAS REPEATEDLY 
                   PROVIDED SUPPORT FOR ACTS OF INTERNATIONAL 
                   TERRORISM.

       (a) Designation.--The Secretary of State shall designate 
     the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea as a country

  SA 1242. Mr. BAYH (for himself, Ms. Murkowski, Mr. Burris, Mr. 
Lieberman, Mr. Warner, Mr. Webb, and Mr. Nelson of Nebraska) submitted 
an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 1256, to 
protect the public health by providing the Food and Drug Administration 
with certain authority to regulate tobacco products, to amend title 5, 
United States Code, to make certain modifications in the Thrift Savings 
Plan, the Civil Service Retirement System, and the Federal Employees'

       At the end of the bill, add the following:

            DIVISION _--NURSE FACULTY LOAN REPAYMENT PROGRAM

     SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This division may be cited as the ``Nurses' Higher 
     Education and Loan Repayment Act of 2009''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Health Resources and Services Administration 
     estimates there is currently a shortage of more than 200,000 
     registered nurses nationwide and projects the shortage will 
     grow to more than 1,000,000 nurses by 2020, 36 percent less 
     than needed to meet demand for nursing care.
       (2) The shortage of qualified nursing faculty is the 
     primary factor driving the inability of nursing schools to 
     graduate more registered nurses to meet the Nation's growing 
     workforce demand.
       (3) There continues to be strong interest on the part of 
     young Americans to enter the nursing field. The National 
     League for Nursing estimates that 88,000 qualified 
     applications, or 1 out of every 3 submitted to basic 
     registered nurse programs in 2006, were rejected due to lack 
     of capacity.
       (4) The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (in 
     this section referred to as the ``AACN'') estimates that 
     49,948 applicants were turned away specifically from 
     baccalaureate and graduate schools of nursing in 2008 and 
     over 70 percent of the schools responding to the AACN survey 
     reported a lack of nurse faculty as the number 1 reason for 
     turning away qualified applicants. Likewise, nearly 70 
     percent of the associate's degree registered nurse programs 
     responding to the most recent American Association of 
     Community Colleges Nursing Survey reported a lack of faculty 
     to teach as the number 1 reason for turning away qualified 
     applicants.
       (5) Large numbers of faculty members at schools of nursing 
     in the United States are nearing retirement. According to the 
     AACN, the average age of a nurse faculty member is 55 years 
     old and the average age at retirement is 62.
       (6) The current nationwide nurse faculty vacancy rate is 
     estimated to be as high as 7.6 percent, including 814 vacant 
     positions at schools of nursing offering baccalaureate and 
     advanced degrees and, in 2006, as many as 880 in associate's 
     degree programs.
       (7) Market forces have created disincentives for 
     individuals qualified to become nurse educators from pursing 
     this career. The average annual salary for an associate 
     professor of nursing with a master's degree is nearly 20 
     percent less than the average salary for a nurse practitioner 
     with a master's degree, according to the 2007 salary survey 
     by the journal ADVANCE for Nurse Practitioners.
       (8) The most recent Health Resources and Services 
     Administration survey data indicates that from a total of 
     more than 2,000,000 registered nurses, only 143,113 
     registered nurses with a bachelor's degree and only 51,318 
     registered nurses with an associate's degree have continued 
     their education to earn a master's degree in the science of 
     nursing, the minimum credential necessary to teach in all 
     types of registered nurse programs. The majority of these 
     graduates do not become nurse educators.
       (9) Current Federal incentive programs to encourage nurses 
     to become educators are inadequate and inaccessible for many 
     interested nurses.
       (10) A broad incentive program must be available to willing 
     and qualified nurses that will provide financial support and 
     encourage them to pursue and maintain a career in nursing 
     education.

     SEC. 3. NURSE FACULTY LOAN REPAYMENT PROGRAM.

       Part E of title VIII of the Public Health Service Act (42 
     U.S.C. 297a et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 
     846A the following new section:

     shall begin making payments, for and on behalf of that 
     individual, on the outstanding principal of, and interest on,

       ``(3) Date certain for recovery.--Subject to paragraph (2),

     under paragraph (1) shall be paid to the United States not 
     later than the expiration of the 3-year period beginning on

       ``(4) Availability.--Amounts recovered under paragraph (1)

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Cigarette smoking is a leading cause of preventable 
     deaths in the United States. Cigarette smoking significantly 
     increases the risk of developing lung cancer, heart disease, 
     chronic bronchitis, emphysema and other serious diseases with 
     adverse health conditions.
       (2) The risk for serious diseases is significantly affected 
     by the type of tobacco product and the frequency, duration 
     and manner of use.
       (3) No tobacco product has been shown to be safe and 
     without risks. The health risks associated with cigarettes 
     are significantly greater than those associated with the use 
     of smoke-free tobacco and nicotine products.
       (4) Nicotine in tobacco products is addictive but is not 
     considered a significant threat to health.
       (5) It is the smoke inhaled from burning tobacco which 
     poses the most significant risk of serious diseases.
       (6) Quitting cigarette smoking significantly reduces the 
     risk for serious diseases.
       (7) Adult tobacco consumers have a right to be fully and 
     accurately informed about the risks of serious diseases, the 
     significant differences in the comparative risks of different 
     tobacco and nicotine-based products, and the benefits of 
     quitting. This information should be based on sound science.
       (8) Governments, public health officials, tobacco 
     manufacturers and others share a responsibility to provide 
     adult tobacco consumers with accurate information about the 
     various health risks and comparative risks associated with 
     the use of different tobacco and nicotine products.
       (9) Tobacco products should be regulated in a manner that 
     is designed to achieve significant and measurable reductions 
     in the morbidity and mortality associated with tobacco use. 
     Regulations should enhance the information available to adult 
     consumers to permit them to make informed choices, and 
     encourage the development of tobacco and nicotine products 
     with lower risks than cigarettes currently sold in the United 
     States.
       (10) The form of regulation should be based on the risks 
     and comparative risks of tobacco and nicotine products and 
     their respective product categories.
       (11) The regulation of marketing of tobacco products should 
     be consistent with constitutional protections and enhance an 
     adult consumer's ability to make an informed choice by 
     providing accurate information on the risks and comparative 
     risks of tobacco products.
       (12) Reducing the diseases and deaths associated with the 
     use of cigarettes serves public health goals and is in the 
     best interest of consumers and society. Harm reduction should 
     be the critical element of any comprehensive public policy 
     surrounding the health consequences of tobacco use.
       (13) Significant reductions in the harm associated with the 
     use of cigarettes can be achieved by providing accurate 
     information regarding the comparative risks of tobacco 
     products to adult tobacco consumers, thereby encouraging 
     smokers to migrate to the use of smoke-free tobacco and 
     nicotine products, and by developing new smoke-free tobacco 
     and nicotine products and other actions.
       (14) Governments, public health officials, manufacturers, 
     tobacco producers and consumers should support the 
     development, production, and commercial introduction of 
     tobacco leaf, and tobacco and nicotine-based products that 
     are scientifically shown to reduce the risks associated with 
     the use of existing tobacco products, particularly 
     cigarettes.
       (15) Adult tobacco consumers should have access to a range 
     of commercially viable tobacco and nicotine-based products.
       (16) There is substantial scientific evidence that selected 
     smokeless tobacco products can satisfy the nicotine addiction 
     of inveterate smokers while eliminating most, if not all, 
     risk of pulmonary and cardiovascular complications of smoking 
     and while reducing the risk of cancer by more than 95 
     percent.
       (17) Transitioning smokers to selected smokeless tobacco 
     products will eliminate environmental tobacco smoke and fire-
     related hazards.
       (18) Current ``abstain, quit, or die'' tobacco control 
     policies in the United States may have reached their maximum 
     possible public health benefit because of the large number of 
     cigarette smokers either unwilling or unable to discontinue 
     their addiction to nicotine.
       (19) There is evidence that harm reduction works and can be 
     accomplished in a way that will not increase initiation or 
     impede smoking cessation.

[[Page S6056]]

       (20) Health-related agencies and organizations, both within 
     the United States and abroad have already gone on record 
     endorsing Harm Reduction as an approach to further reducing 
     tobacco related illness and death.
       (21) Current Federal policy requires tobacco product 
     labeling that leaves the incorrect impression that all 
     tobacco product present equal risk.

     SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

       The purposes of this Act are--
       (1) to provide authority to the Tobacco Harm Reduction 
     Center by recognizing it as the primary Federal regulatory 
     authority with respect to tobacco products as provided for in 
     this Act;
       (2) to ensure that the Center 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 Center 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 Center with the authority to regulate the 
     levels of tar, nicotine, and other harmful components of 
     tobacco products;
       (6) to ensure that consumers are better informed regarding 
     the relative risks for death and disease between categories 
     of tobacco products;
       (7) to continue to allow 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 prevention, cessation, and harm reduction 
     policies and regulations to reduce disease risk and the 
     social costs associated with tobacco-related diseases;
       (10) to provide authority to the Department of Health and 
     Human Services to regulate tobacco products;
       (11) to establish national policies that effectively reduce 
     disease and death associated with cigarette smoking and other 
     tobacco use;
       (12) to establish national policies that encourage 
     prevention, cessation, and harm reduction measures regarding 
     the use of tobacco products;
       (13) to encourage current cigarette smokers who will not 
     quit to use noncombustible tobacco or nicotine products that 
     have significantly less risk than cigarettes;
       (14) to establish national policies that accurately and 
     consistently inform adult tobacco consumers of significant 
     differences in risk between respective tobacco products;
       (15) to establish national policies that encourage and 
     assist the development and awareness of noncombustible 
     tobacco and nicotine products;
       (16) to coordinate national and State prevention, 
     cessation, and harm reduction programs;
       (17) to impose measures to ensure tobacco products are not 
     sold or accessible to underage purchasers; and
       (18) to strengthen Federal and State legislation to prevent 
     illicit trade in tobacco products.

     SEC. 4. SCOPE AND EFFECT.

     style in each list listed by the common or usual name of the 
     tobacco product category to which it belongs and by any 
     proprietary name) that are being manufactured, prepared, or 
     processed by such person for commercial distribution 
     domestically or for import into the United States, and that 
     such person has not included in any list of tobacco products 
     filed by such person with the Administrator under this 
     paragraph or paragraph (2) before such time of registration. 
     Such list shall be prepared in such form and manner as the

     previously made a report under this paragraph, since the 
     effective date of this Act) such registrant has discontinued 
     the manufacture, preparation, or processing for commercial 
     distribution domestically or for import into the United

       (C) If, since the date the registrant reported pursuant to 
     subparagraph (B) a notice of discontinuance of a tobacco

     this 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 
     111, 112, 113, 114, or 115 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 Administrator 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 
     Administrator or the Administrator's representative under 
     section 107, 108, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, or 504, 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 
     Act, or when relevant in any proceeding under this Act.
       (d) Restrictions.--
       (1) In general.--The Administrator may issue regulations, 
     consistent with this Act, regarding tobacco products if the 
     Administrator determines that such regulation would be 
     appropriate for the protection of the public health. 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 users of the 
     tobacco product, and taking into account that the standard is 
     reasonably likely to result in measurable and substantial 
     reductions in morbidly and mortality among individual tobacco 
     users.
       (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 Administrator may 
     in such regulation prescribe.
       (e) Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements.--
       (1) Methods, facilities, and controls to conform.--
       (A) In general.--In applying manufacturing restrictions to 
     tobacco, the Administrator 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 Act. Such 
     regulations may provide for the testing of raw tobacco for 
     pesticide chemical residues after a tolerance for such 
     chemical residues has been established.
       (B) Requirements.--The Administrator 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 Tobacco Products Scientific 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 but no earlier than four years from date of 
     enactment.
       (C) Additional special rule.--A tobacco product 
     manufactured in or imported into the United States shall not 
     contain foreign-grown flue-cured or burley tobacco that--
       (i) was knowingly grown or processed using a pesticide 
     chemical that is not approved under applicable Federal law 
     for use in domestic tobacco farming and processing; or
       (ii) in the case of a pesticide chemical that is so 
     approved, was grown or processed using the pesticide chemical 
     in a manner inconsistent with the approved labeling for use 
     of the pesticide chemical in domestic tobacco farming and 
     processing.
       (D) Exclusion.--Subparagraph (C)(ii) shall not apply to 
     tobacco products manufactured with foreign-grown flue-cured 
     or burley tobacco so long as that foreign grown tobacco was 
     either--
       (i) in the inventory of a manufacturer prior to the 
     effective date, or
       (ii) planted by the farmer prior to the effective date of 
     this Act and utilized by the manufacturer no later than 3 
     years after the effective date.
       (E) Setting of maximum residue limits.--The Administrator 
     shall adopt the following pesticide residue standards:
       Pesticide residue standards
       The maximum concentration of residues of the following 
     pesticides allowed in flue-cured or burley tobacco, expressed 
     as parts by weight of the residue per one million parts by 
     weight of the tobacco (PPM) are:
       CHLORDANE.....3.0
       DIBROMOCHLOROPROPANE (DBCP).....1.0
       DICAMBA (Temporary).... 5.0
       ENDRIN....0.1
       ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE (EDB)....0.1
       FORMOTHION.....0.5
       HEXACHLOROBENZENE (HCB)....0.1
       METHOXYCHLOR.....0.1
       TOXAPHENE.....0.3
       2,4-D (Temporary).....5.0
       2,4,5-T.....0.1
       Sum of ALDRIN and DIELDRIN.....0.1
       Sum of CYPERMETHRIN and PERMETHRIN (Temporary).....3.0
       Sum of DDT, TDE (DDD), and DDE .....0.4
       Sum of HEPTACHLOR and HEPTACHLOR EPOXIDE.....0.1
       (F) Maximum residue limits.--The Administrator shall adopt 
     regulations within one year of the effective date of this Act 
     to establish maximum residue limits for pesticides identified 
     under subparagraph (E) but not included in the table of such 
     subparagraph to account for the fact that weather and 
     agronomic conditions will cause pesticides identified in 
     subparagraph (E) to be detected in foreign-grown tobacco even 
     where the farmer has not knowingly added such pesticide.
       (2) Exemptions; variances.--
       (A) Petition.--Any person subject to any requirement 
     prescribed under paragraph (1) may petition the Administrator 
     for a permanent or temporary exemption or variance from such 
     requirement. Such a petition shall be submitted to the 
     Administrator in such form and manner as the Administrator 
     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 Act;
       (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 Administrator 
     shall prescribe.
       (B) Referral to the tobacco products scientific advisory 
     committee.--The Administrator 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 
     Administrator 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 
     Administrator under subparagraph (A); or
       (ii) the day after the petition was referred to the Tobacco 
     Products Scientific Advisory Committee,

     whichever occurs later, the Administrator shall by order 
     either deny the petition or approve it.
       (C) Approval.--The Administrator may approve--
       (i) a petition for an exemption for a tobacco product from 
     a requirement if the Administrator determines that compliance 
     with such requirement is not required to assure that the 
     tobacco product will be in compliance with this Act; and
       (ii) a petition for a variance for a tobacco product from a 
     requirement if the Administrator 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, facilities, and controls 
     prescribed by the requirement are sufficient to assure that 
     the tobacco product will be in compliance with this Act.
       (D) Conditions.--An order of the Administrator 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 Act.
       (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 end of the 3-year 
     period following the date of enactment of this Act.
       (f) Research and Development.--The Administrator may enter 
     into contracts for research, testing, and demonstrations 
     respecting tobacco products and may obtain tobacco products 
     for research, testing, and demonstration purposes.

     SEC. 110. SMOKING ARTICLE STANDARDS.

       (a) In General.--
       (1) Restrictions on descriptors used in marketing of 
     cigarettes.--
       (A) In general.--Except as provided in subparagraph (B), no 
     person shall use, with respect to any cigarette brand style 
     commercially distributed domestically, on the portion of the 
     package of such cigarette brand style that customarily is 
     visible to consumers before purchase, or in advertising of 
     such cigarette brand style any of the following as a 
     descriptor of any cigarette brand style--
       (i) the name of any candy or fruit;
       (ii) the word ``candy,'' ``citrus,'' ``cream,'' ``fruit,'' 
     ``sugar,'' ``sweet,'' ``tangy,'' or ``tart,''; or
       (iii) any extension or variation of any of the words 
     ``candy,'' ``citrus,'' ``cream,'' ``fruit,'' ``sugar,'' 
     ``sweet,'' ``tangy,'' or ``tart,'' including but not limited 
     to ``creamy,'' or ``fruity.''
       (B) Limitation.--Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to the 
     use of the following words or to any extension or variation 
     of any of them: ``clove'' and ``menthol''.
       (C) Scented materials.--No person shall use, in the 
     advertising or labeling of any cigarette commercially 
     distributed domestically, any scented materials, except in an 
     adult-only facility.
       (D) Definitions.--In this section:
       (i) The term ``candy'' means a confection made from sugar 
     or sugar substitute, including any confection identified 
     generically or by brand, and shall include the words 
     ``cacao,'' ``chocolate,'' ``cinnamon,'' ``cocoa,'' ``honey,'' 
     ``licorice,'' ``maple,'' ``mocha,'' and ``vanilla.''
       (ii) The term ``fruit'' means any fruit identified by 
     generic name, type, or variety, including but not limited to 
     ``apple,'' ``banana,'' ``cherry,'' and ``orange.'' The term 
     ``fruit'' does not include words that identify seeds, nuts or 
     peppers, or types or varieties thereof or words that are 
     extensions or variations of such words.
       (2) Smoking article standards.--
       (A) In general.--The Administrator may adopt smoking 
     article standards in addition to those in paragraph (1) if 
     the Administrator finds that a smoking article standard is 
     appropriate for the protection of the public health.
       (B) Determinations.--
       (i) Considerations.--In making a finding described in 
     subparagraph (A), the Administrator shall consider scientific 
     evidence concerning--

       (I) the risks and benefits to the users of smoking articles 
     of the proposed standard; and
       (II) that the standard is reasonably likely to result in 
     measurable and substantial reductions in morbidity and 
     mortality among individual tobacco users.

       (ii) Additional considerations.--In the event that the 
     Administrator makes a determination, set forth in a proposed 
     smoking article standard in a proposed rule, that it is 
     appropriate for the protection of public health to require 
     the reduction or elimination of an additive, constituent 
     (including a smoke constituent), or other component of a 
     smoking article because the Administrator has found that the 
     additive, constituent, or other component is harmful, any 
     party objecting to the proposed standard on the ground that 
     the proposed standard will not reduce or eliminate the risk 
     of illness or injury may provide for the Administrator's 
     consideration scientific evidence that demonstrates that the 
     proposed standard will not reduce or eliminate the risk of 
     illness or injury.
       (3) Content of smoking article standards.--A smoking 
     article standard established under this section for a smoking 
     article--
       (A) may include provisions that are appropriate for the 
     protection of the public health, including provisions, where 
     appropriate--
       (i) for ``tar'' and nicotine yields of the product;
       (ii) for the reduction of other constituents, including 
     smoke constituents, or harmful components of the product; or
       (iii) relating to any other requirement under subparagraph 
     (B); and
       (B) may, where appropriate for the protection of the public 
     health, include--
       (i) provisions respecting the construction, components, 
     ingredients, additives, constituents, including smoke 
     constituents, and properties of the smoking article;
       (ii) provisions for the testing (on a sample basis or, if 
     necessary, on an individual basis) of the smoking article;
       (iii) provisions for the measurement of the smoking article 
     characteristics of the smoking article; and
       (iv) provisions requiring that the results of each or of 
     certain of the tests of the smoking article required to be 
     made under clause (ii) show that the smoking article is in 
     conformity with the portions of the standard for which the 
     test or tests were required.
       (4) Periodic reevaluation of smoking article standards.--
     The Administrator may provide for periodic evaluation of 
     smoking article standards established under this section to 
     determine whether such standards should be changed to reflect 
     new medical, scientific, or other technological data.
       (5) Cigarette ``tar'' limits.--
       (A) No increase in ``tar'' yields.--No cigarette 
     manufacturer shall distribute for sale domestically a brand 
     style of cigarettes that generates a ``tar'' yield greater 
     than the ``tar'' yield of that brand style of cigarettes on 
     the date of introduction of this Act, as determined by the 
     ISO smoking regimen and its associated tolerances. The 
     ``tar'' tolerances for cigarettes with ISO ``tar'' yields in 
     the range of 1 to 20 milligrams per cigarette, based on 
     variations arising from sampling procedure, test method, and 
     sampled product, itself, are the greater of plus or minus--
       (i) 15 percent; or
       (ii) 1 milligram per cigarette.
       (B) Limit on new cigarettes.--After the effective date of 
     this Act, no cigarette manufacturer shall manufacture for 
     commercial distribution domestically a brand style of 
     cigarettes that both--
       (i) was not in commercial distribution domestically on the 
     effective date of this Act, and
       (ii) generates a ``tar'' yield of greater than 20 
     milligrams per cigarette as determined by the ISO smoking 
     regimen and its associated tolerances.
       (C) Limit on all cigarettes.--After December 31, 2010, no 
     cigarette manufacturer shall manufacture for commercial 
     distribution domestically a brand style of cigarettes that 
     generates a ``tar'' yield greater than 20 milligrams per 
     cigarette as determined by the ISO smoking regimen and its 
     associated tolerances.
       (D) Review by administrator.--After the effective date of 
     this Act, the Administrator shall evaluate the available 
     scientific evidence addressing the potential relationship 
     between historical ``tar'' yield values and risk of harm to 
     smokers. If upon a review of that evidence, and after 
     consultation with technical experts of the Tobacco Harm 
     Reduction Center and the Centers for Disease Control and 
     Prevention and notice and an opportunity for public comment, 
     the Administrator determines, that a reduction in ``tar'' 
     yield may reasonably be expected to provide a meaningful 
     reduction of the risk or risks of harm to smokers, the 
     Administrator shall issue an order that--
       (i) provides that no cigarette manufacturer shall 
     manufacture for commercial distribution domestically a 
     cigarette that generates a ``tar'' yield that exceeds 14 
     milligrams as determined by the ISO smoking regimen and its 
     associated tolerances; and
       (ii) provides a reasonable time for manufacturers to come 
     into compliance with such prohibition.
       (6) Involvement of other agencies; informed persons.--In 
     carrying out duties under this section, the Administrator 
     shall endeavor to--
       (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 
     Administrator's judgment can make a significant contribution.
       (b) Considerations by Administrator.--
       (1) Technical achievability.--The Administrator shall 
     consider information submitted in connection with a proposed 
     standard regarding the technical achievability of compliance 
     with such standard.
       (2) Other considerations.--The Administrator shall consider 
     all other information submitted in connection with a proposed 
     standard, such as the creation of a significant demand for 
     contraband or other tobacco products that do not meet the 
     requirements of this Act and the significance of such demand.
       (c) Proposed Standards.--
       (1) In general.--The Administrator shall publish in the 
     Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking for the 
     establishment, amendment, or revocation of any smoking 
     article standard.
       (2) Requirements of notice.--A notice of proposed 
     rulemaking for the establishment or amendment of a smoking 
     article standard shall--
       (A) set forth a finding with supporting justification that 
     the smoking article standard is appropriate for the 
     protection of the public health;
       (B) invite interested persons to submit a draft or proposed 
     smoking article standard for consideration by the 
     Administrator;
       (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 smoking article 
     standard.
       (3) Finding.--A notice of proposed rulemaking for the 
     revocation of a smoking article standard shall set forth a 
     finding with supporting justification that the smoking 
     article standard is no longer appropriate for the protection 
     of the public health.
       (4) Comment.--The Administrator shall provide for a comment 
     period of not less than 90 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 standard and after consideration 
     of comments submitted under subsections (b) and (c) and any 
     report from the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory 
     Committee, if the Administrator determines that the standard 
     would be appropriate for the

[[Page S6063]]

     protection of the public health, the Administrator shall--
       (A) promulgate a regulation establishing a smoking article 
     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 smoking 
     article 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 Administrator 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 
     Administrator 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.
       (3) Limitation on power granted.--Because of the importance 
     of a decision of the Administrator to issue a regulation--
       (A) banning cigarettes, smokeless smoking articles, little 
     cigars, cigars other than little cigars, pipe tobacco, or 
     roll-your-own smoking articles;
       (B) requiring the reduction of ``tar'' or nicotine yields 
     of a smoking article to zero;
       (C) prohibiting the sale of any smoking article in face-to-
     face transactions by a specific category of retail outlets;
       (D) establishing a minimum age of sale of smoking articles 
     to any person older than 18 years of age; or
       (E) requiring that the sale or distribution of a smoking 
     article be limited to the written or oral authorization of a 
     practitioner licensed by law to prescribe medical products,

     the Administrator is prohibited from taking such actions 
     under this Act.
       (4) Matchbooks.--For purposes of any regulations issued by 
     the Administrator under this Act, matchbooks of conventional 
     size containing not more than 20 paper matches, and which are 
     customarily given away for free with the purchase of smoking 
     articles, shall be considered as adult-written publications 
     which shall be permitted to contain advertising.
       (5) Amendment; revocation.--
       (A) Authority.--The Administrator, upon the Administrator'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 smoking article standard.
       (B) Effective date.--The Administrator may declare a 
     proposed amendment of a smoking article 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 Administrator determines that 
     making it so effective is in the public interest.
       (6) Referral to advisory committee.--
       (A) In general.--The Administrator shall refer a proposed 
     regulation for the establishment, amendment, or revocation of 
     a smoking article standard 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.
       (B) Initiation of referral.--The Administrator shall make a 
     referral under this paragraph--
       (i) on the Administrator's own initiative; or
       (ii) upon the request of an interested person that--

       (I) demonstrates good cause for the referral; and
       (II) is made before the expiration of the period for 
     submission of comments on the proposed regulation.

       (C) Provision of data.--If a proposed regulation is 
     referred under this paragraph to the Tobacco Products 
     Scientific Advisory Committee, the Administrator shall 
     provide the Advisory Committee with the data and information 
     on which such proposed regulation is based.
       (D) Report and recommendation.--The Tobacco Products 
     Scientific Advisory Committee shall, within 90 days after the 
     referral of a proposed regulation under this paragraph and 
     after independent study of the data and information furnished 
     to it by the Administrator and other data and information 
     before it, submit to the Administrator 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.
       (E) Public availability.--The Administrator shall make a 
     copy of each report and recommendation under subparagraph (D) 
     publicly available.

     SEC. 111. NOTIFICATION AND OTHER REMEDIES.

       (a) Notification.--If the Administrator 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 materially above the risk for death and disease of 
     tobacco products currently in interstate commerce, 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 
     Act (other than this section) to eliminate such risk,

     the Administrator 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 Administrator may order notification by any 
     appropriate means, including public service announcements. 
     Before issuing an order under this subsection, the 
     Administrator 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 Administrator 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, 
     acute adverse health consequences or death, the Administrator 
     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 Administrator 
     determines that inadequate grounds exist to support the 
     actions required by the order, the Administrator 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 Administrator 
     determines that the order should be amended to include a 
     recall of the tobacco product with respect to which the order 
     was issued, the Administrator shall, except as provided in 
     subparagraph (B), amend the order to require a recall. The 
     Administrator shall specify a timetable in which the tobacco 
     product recall will occur and shall require periodic reports 
     to the Administrator 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 
     Administrator 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 
     Administrator 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).

     SEC. 112. RECORDS AND REPORTS ON TOBACCO PRODUCTS.

       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 Administrator may by regulation 
     reasonably require to assure that such tobacco product is not 
     adulterated or misbranded.

     SEC. 113. APPLICATION FOR REVIEW OF CERTAIN SMOKING ARTICLES.

       (a) In General.--
       (1) New smoking article defined.--For purposes of this 
     section the term ``new smoking article'' means--
       (A) any smoking article that was not commercially marketed 
     in the United States as of the date of enactment of this Act; 
     and
       (B) any smoking article that incorporates a significant 
     modification (including changes in design, component, part, 
     or constituent, including a smoke constituent, or in the 
     content, delivery or form of nicotine, or other additive or 
     ingredient) of a smoking article where the modified product 
     was commercially marketed in the United States after the date 
     of enactment of this Act.
       (2) Premarket review required.--
       (A) New products.--An order under subsection (c)(1)(A) for 
     a new smoking article is required unless the product--
       (i) is substantially equivalent to a smoking article 
     commercially marketed in the United States as of date of 
     enactment of this Act; and
       (ii) is in compliance with the requirements of this Act.
       (B) Consumer testing.--This section shall not apply to 
     smoking articles that are provided to adult tobacco consumers 
     for purposes of consumer testing. For purposes of

[[Page S6064]]

     this section, the term ``consumer testing'' means an 
     assessment of smoking articles that is conducted by or under 
     the control and direction of a manufacturer for the purpose 
     of evaluating consumer acceptance of such smoking articles, 
     utilizing only the quantity of cigarettes that is reasonably 
     necessary for such assessment
       (3) Substantially equivalent defined.--
       (A) In general.--In this section, the term ``substantially 
     equivalent'' or ``substantial equivalence'' means, with 
     respect to the smoking article being compared to the 
     predicate smoking article, that the Administrator by order 
     has found that the smoking article--
       (i) has the same general characteristics as the predicate 
     smoking article; or
       (ii) has different characteristics and the information 
     submitted contains information, including clinical data if 
     deemed necessary by the Administrator, 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 for the consumer of the product.
       (B) Characteristics.--In subparagraph (A), the term 
     ``characteristics'' means the materials, ingredients, design, 
     composition, heating source, or other features of a smoking 
     article.
       (C) Limitation.--A smoking article may not be found to be 
     substantially equivalent to a predicate smoking article that 
     has been removed from the market at the initiative of the 
     Administrator or that has been determined by a judicial order 
     to be misbranded or adulterated.
       (4) Health information.--As part of a submission respecting 
     a smoking article, the person required to file a premarket 
     notification shall provide an adequate summary of any health 
     information related to the smoking article or state that such 
     information will be made available upon request by any 
     person.
       (b) Application.--
       (1) Contents.--An application under this section 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 smoking article and whether such smoking 
     article presents less risk than other smoking articles;
       (B) a full statement of the components, ingredients, 
     additives, and properties, and of the principle or principles 
     of operation, of such smoking article;
       (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 smoking article;
       (D) an identifying reference to any smoking article 
     standard under section 111 which would be applicable to any 
     aspect of such smoking article, and either adequate 
     information to show that such aspect of such smoking article 
     fully meets such smoking article standard or adequate 
     information to justify any deviation from such standard;
       (E) such samples of such smoking article and of components 
     thereof as the Administrator may reasonably require;
       (F) specimens of the labeling proposed to be used for such 
     smoking article; and
       (G) such other information relevant to the subject matter 
     of the application as the Administrator may require.
       (2) Referral to tobacco products scientific advisory 
     committee.--Upon receipt of an application meeting the 
     requirements set forth in paragraph (1), the Administrator--
       (A) may, on the Administrator'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 Administrator may establish) of a report 
     and recommendation respecting the application, together with 
     all underlying data and the reasons or basis for the 
     recommendation.
       (c) Action on Application.--
       (1) Deadline.--As promptly as possible, but in no event 
     later than 90 days after the receipt of an application under 
     subsection (b), the Administrator, after considering the 
     report and recommendation submitted under subsection (b)(2), 
     shall--
       (A) issue an order that the new product may be introduced 
     or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce if the 
     Administrator finds that none of the grounds specified in 
     paragraph (2) of this subsection applies; or
       (B) issue an order that the new product may not be 
     introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate 
     commerce if the Administrator 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.
       (2) Denial of application.--The Administrator shall deny an 
     application submitted under subsection (b) if, upon the basis 
     of the information submitted to the Administrator as part of 
     the application and any other information before the 
     Administrator with respect to such smoking article, the 
     Administrator finds that--
       (A) there is a lack of a showing that permitting such 
     smoking article 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 smoking 
     article do not conform to the requirements of section 110(e);
       (C) based on a fair evaluation of all material facts, the 
     proposed labeling is false or misleading in any particular; 
     or
       (D) such smoking article is not shown to conform to a 
     smoking article standard in effect under section 111, 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 Administrator determines to be 
     practicable, be accompanied by a statement informing the 
     applicant of the measures required to remove such application 
     from deniable form (which measures may include further 
     research by the applicant in accordance with 1 or more 
     protocols prescribed by the Administrator).
       (4) Basis for finding.--For purposes of this section, the 
     finding as to whether the commercial introduction of a 
     smoking article for which an application has been submitted 
     is appropriate for the protection of the public health shall 
     be determined with respect to the risks and benefits to the 
     users of the smoking article, and taking into account whether 
     such commercial introduction is reasonably likely to increase 
     the morbidly and mortality among individual tobacco users.
       (d) Withdrawal and Temporary Suspension.--
       (1) In general.--The Administrator shall, upon obtaining, 
     where appropriate, advice on scientific matters from the 
     Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee, and after due 
     notice and opportunity for informal hearing for a smoking 
     article for which an order was issued under subsection 
     (c)(1)(A), issue an order withdrawing the order if the 
     Administrator finds--
       (A) that the continued marketing of such smoking article 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 113; or
       (ii) has refused to permit access to, or copying or 
     verification of, such records as required by section 110; or
       (D) on the basis of new information before the 
     Administrator with respect to such smoking article, evaluated 
     together with the evidence before the Administrator when the 
     application was reviewed, that the methods used in, or the 
     facilities and controls used for, the manufacture, 
     processing, packing, or installation of such smoking article 
     do not conform with the requirements of section 110(e) and 
     were not brought into conformity with such requirements 
     within a reasonable time after receipt of written notice from 
     the Administrator of nonconformity;
       (E) on the basis of new information before the 
     Administrator, evaluated together with the evidence before 
     the Administrator when the application was reviewed, that the 
     labeling of such smoking article, 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 Administrator of 
     such fact; or
       (F) on the basis of new information before the 
     Administrator, evaluated together with the evidence before 
     the Administrator when such order was issued, that such 
     smoking article is not shown to conform in all respects to a 
     smoking article standard which is in effect under section 
     111, compliance with which was a condition to the issuance of 
     an order relating to 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 an order issued 
     pursuant to subsection (c)(1)(A) 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 section 116.
       (3) Temporary suspension.--If, after providing an 
     opportunity for an informal hearing, the Administrator 
     determines there is reasonable probability that the 
     continuation of distribution of a smoking article under an 
     order would cause serious, adverse health consequences or 
     death, that is greater than ordinarily caused by smoking 
     articles on the market, the Administrator shall by order 
     temporarily suspend the authority of the manufacturer to 
     market the product. If the Administrator issues such an 
     order, the Administrator shall proceed expeditiously under 
     paragraph (1) to withdraw such application.
       (e) Service of Order.--An order issued by the Administrator 
     under this section shall be served--
       (1) in person by any officer or employee of the department 
     designated by the Administrator; 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 Administrator.
       (f) Records.--
       (1) Additional information.--In the case of any smoking 
     article for which an order issued pursuant to subsection 
     (c)(1)(A) for an

[[Page S6065]]

     application filed under subsection (b) is in effect, the 
     applicant shall establish and maintain such records, and make 
     such reports to the Administrator, as the Administrator 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 Administrator to 
     determine, or facilitate a determination of, whether there is 
     or may be grounds for withdrawing or temporarily suspending 
     such order.
       (2) Access to records.--Each person required under this 
     section to maintain records, and each person in charge of 
     custody thereof, shall, upon request of an officer or 
     employee designated by the Administrator, permit such officer 
     or employee at all reasonable times to have access to and 
     copy and verify such records.
       (g) Investigational Smoking Article Exemption for 
     Investigational Use.--The Administrator may exempt smoking 
     articles intended for investigational use from the provisions 
     of this Act under such conditions as the Administrator may by 
     regulation prescribe.

     SEC. 114. MODIFIED RISK TOBACCO PRODUCTS.

       (a) In General.--No person may introduce or deliver for 
     introduction into interstate commerce any modified risk 
     tobacco product unless an order issued pursuant to subsection 
     (g) is effective with respect to such product.
       (b) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) Modified risk tobacco product.--The term ``modified 
     risk tobacco product'' means any tobacco product that is sold 
     or distributed for use to reduce harm or the risk of tobacco-
     related disease associated with commercially marketed tobacco 
     products.
       (2) Sold or distributed.--
       (A) In general.--With respect to a tobacco product, the 
     term ``sold or distributed for use to reduce harm or the risk 
     of tobacco-related disease associated with commercially 
     marketed tobacco products'' means a tobacco product--
       (i) the label, labeling, or advertising of which represents 
     explicitly or implicitly that--

       (I) the tobacco product presents a lower risk of tobacco-
     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
       (III) the tobacco product or its smoke does not contain or 
     is free of a substance;

       (ii) the label, labeling, or advertising of which uses the 
     descriptors ``light'', ``mild'', ``low'', ``medium'', ``ultra 
     light'', ``low tar'' or ``ultra low tar''; or
       (iii) the tobacco product manufacturer of which has taken 
     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 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) Smokeless tobacco product.--No smokeless 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''.
       (3) Effective date.--The provisions of paragraph (2)(A)(ii) 
     shall take effect 12 months after the date of enactment of 
     the Act.
       (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 if it has been approved as a drug 
     or device by the Center and is subject to the requirements of 
     chapter V.
       (d) Filing.--Any person may file with the Administrator an 
     application for a modified risk tobacco product. Such 
     application shall include--
       (1) a description of the proposed product and any proposed 
     advertising and labeling;
       (2) the conditions for using the product;
       (3) the formulation of the product;
       (4) sample product labels and labeling;
       (5) all documents (including underlying scientific 
     information) relating to research findings conducted, 
     supported, or possessed by the tobacco product manufacturer 
     relating to the effect of the product on tobacco-related 
     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;
       (6) data and information on how consumers actually use the 
     tobacco product; and
       (7) such other information as the Administrator may 
     require.
       (e) Public Availability.--The Administrator shall make the 
     application described in subsection (d) publicly available 
     (except matters in the application which are trade secrets or 
     otherwise confidential, commercial information) and shall 
     request comments by interested persons on the information 
     contained in the application and on the label, labeling, and 
     advertising accompanying such application.
       (f) Advisory Committee.--
       (1) In general.--The Administrator shall refer to the 
     Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee any 
     application submitted under this section.
       (2) Recommendations.--Not later than 60 days after the date 
     an application is referred to the Tobacco Products Scientific 
     Advisory Committee under paragraph (1), the Advisory 
     Committee shall report its recommendations on the application 
     to the Administrator.
       (g) Marketing.--
       (1) Modified risk products.--Except as provided in 
     paragraph (2), the Administrator shall, with respect to an 
     application submitted under this section, issue an order that 
     a modified risk product may be commercially marketed only if 
     the Administrator 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) is reasonably likely to result in measurable and 
     substantial reductions in morbidity and mortality among 
     individual tobacco users.
       (2) Special rule for certain products.--
       (A) In general.--The Administrator may issue an order that 
     a tobacco product may be introduced or delivered for 
     introduction into interstate commerce, pursuant to an 
     application under this section, with respect to a tobacco 
     product that may not be commercially marketed under paragraph 
     (1) if the Secretary makes the findings required under this 
     paragraph and determines that the applicant has demonstrated 
     that--
       (i) such order 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) is limited 
     to an explicit or implicit representation that such tobacco 
     product or its smoke does not contain 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 reasonably likely 
     in subsequent studies.
       (B) Additional findings required.--To issue an order under 
     subparagraph (A) the Administrator 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 reasonably 
     likely 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 significantly less 
     harmful; or
       (II) presents or has been demonstrated to present 
     significant less of a risk of disease than other commercially 
     marketed tobacco products; and

       (iv) issuance of an order with respect to the application 
     is expected to benefit the health of users of tobacco 
     products.
       (3) Basis.--The determinations under paragraphs (1) and (2) 
     shall be based on--
       (A) the scientific evidence submitted by the applicant; and
       (B) scientific evidence and other information that is made 
     available to the Administrator.
       (h) Additional Conditions for Marketing.--
       (1) Modified risk products.--The Administrator shall 
     require for the marketing of a product under this section 
     that any advertising or labeling concerning modified risk 
     products enable the public to comprehend the information 
     concerning modified risk and to understand the relative 
     significance of such information in the context of total 
     health and in relation to all of the diseases and health-
     related conditions associated with the use of tobacco 
     products.
       (2) Comparative claims.--
       (A) In general.--The Administrator may require for the 
     marketing of a product under this subsection that a claim 
     comparing a tobacco product to other commercially marketed 
     tobacco products shall compare the tobacco product to a 
     commercially marketed tobacco product that is representative 
     of that type of tobacco product on the market (for example 
     the average value of the top 3

[[Page S6066]]

     brands of an established regular tobacco product).
       (B) Quantitative comparisons.--The Administrator may also 
     require, for purposes of subparagraph (A), that the percent 
     (or fraction) of change and identity of the reference tobacco 
     product and a quantitative comparison of the amount of the 
     substance claimed to be reduced shall be stated in immediate 
     proximity to the most prominent claim.
       (i) Postmarket Surveillance and Studies.--
       (1) In general.--The Administrator shall require, with 
     respect to a product for which an applicant obtained an order 
     under subsection (g)(1), that the applicant conduct 
     postmarket surveillance and studies for such a tobacco 
     product to determine the impact of the order issuance on 
     consumer perception, behavior, and health, to enable the 
     Administrator to review the accuracy of the determinations 
     upon which the order was based, and to provide information 
     that the Administrator determines is otherwise necessary 
     regarding the use or health risks involving the tobacco 
     product. The results of postmarket surveillance and studies 
     shall be submitted to the Administrator on an annual basis.
       (2) Surveillance protocol.--Each applicant required to 
     conduct a surveillance of a tobacco product under paragraph 
     (1) shall, within 30 days after receiving notice that the 
     applicant is required to conduct such surveillance, submit, 
     for the approval of the Administrator, a protocol for the 
     required surveillance. The Administrator, within 30 days of 
     the receipt of such protocol, shall determine if the 
     principal investigator proposed to be used in the 
     surveillance has sufficient qualifications and experience to 
     conduct such surveillance and if such protocol will result in 
     collection of the data or other information designated by the 
     Administrator as necessary to protect the public health.
       (j) Withdrawal of Authorization.--The Administrator, after 
     an opportunity for an informal hearing, shall withdraw an 
     order under subsection (g) if the Administrator determines 
     that--
       (1) the applicant, based on new information, can no longer 
     make the demonstrations required under subsection (g), or the 
     Administrator can no longer make the determinations required 
     under subsection (g);
       (2) the application failed to include material information 
     or included any untrue statement of material fact;
       (3) any explicit or implicit representation that the 
     product reduces risk or exposure is no longer valid, 
     including if--
       (A) a tobacco product standard is established pursuant to 
     section 111;
       (B) an action is taken that affects the risks presented by 
     other commercially marketed tobacco products that were 
     compared to the product that is the subject of the 
     application; or
       (C) any postmarket surveillance or studies reveal that the 
     order is no longer consistent with the protection of the 
     public health;
       (4) the applicant failed to conduct or submit the 
     postmarket surveillance and studies required under subsection 
     (g)(2)(C)(ii) or subsection (i); or
       (5) the applicant failed to meet a condition imposed under 
     subsection (h).
       (k) Chapter IV or V.--A product for which the Administrator 
     has issued an order pursuant to subsection (g) shall not be 
     subject to chapter IV or V of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
     Cosmetic Act.
       (l) Implementing Regulations or Guidance.--
       (1) Scientific evidence.--Not later than 2 years after the 
     date of enactment of the Act, the Administrator shall issue 
     regulations or guidance (or any combination thereof) on the 
     scientific evidence required for assessment and ongoing 
     review of modified risk tobacco products. Such regulations or 
     guidance shall--
       (A) to the extent that adequate scientific evidence exists, 
     establish minimum standards for scientific studies needed 
     prior to issuing an order under subsection (g) to show a 
     reasonable likelihood that a substantial reduction in 
     morbidity or mortality among individual tobacco users occurs 
     for products described in subsection (g)(1) or is reasonably 
     likely for products described in subsection (g)(2);
       (B) include validated biomarkers, intermediate clinical 
     endpoints, and other feasible outcome measures, as 
     appropriate;
       (C) establish minimum standards for postmarket studies, 
     that shall include regular and long-term assessments of 
     health outcomes and mortality, intermediate clinical 
     endpoints, consumer perception of harm reduction, and the 
     impact on quitting behavior and new use of tobacco products, 
     as appropriate;
       (D) establish minimum standards for required postmarket 
     surveillance, including ongoing assessments of consumer 
     perception; and
       (E) establish a reasonable timetable for the Administrator 
     to review an application under this section.
       (2) Consultation.--The regulations or guidance issued under 
     paragraph (1) may be developed in consultation with the 
     Institute of Medicine, and with the input of other 
     appropriate scientific and medical experts, on the design and 
     conduct of such studies and surveillance.
       (3) Revision.--The regulations or guidance under paragraph 
     (1) shall be revised on a regular basis as new scientific 
     information becomes available.
       (4) New tobacco products.--Not later than 2 years after the 
     date of enactment of the Act, the Administrator shall issue a 
     regulation or guidance that permits the filing of a single 
     application for any tobacco product that is a new tobacco 
     product under section 114 and which the applicant seeks to 
     commercially market under this section.

     that meet the requirements of subsection (b).
       (b) Contents of Rules.--The regulations promulgated under 
     subsection (a)--
       (1) shall require annual testing and reporting of tobacco 
     product constituents, ingredients, and additives, including 
     smoke constituents, by brand style that the Administrator 
     determines should be tested to protect the public health, 
     provided that, for purposes of the testing requirements of 
     this paragraph, tobacco products manufactured and sold by a 
     single tobacco product manufacturer that are identical in all 
     respects except the labels, packaging design, logo, trade 
     dress, trademark, brand name, or any combination thereof, 
     shall be considered as a single brand style; and
       (2) may require that tobacco product manufacturers, 
     packagers, or importers make disclosures relating to the 
     results of the testing of tar and nicotine through labels or 
     advertising.
       (c) Authority.--The Administrator shall have the authority 
     under this Act to conduct or to require the testing, 
     reporting, or disclosure of tobacco product constituents, 
     including smoke constituents.
       (d) Joint Laboratory Testing Services.--The Administrator 
     shall allow any 2 or more tobacco product manufacturers to 
     join together to purchase laboratory testing services 
     required by this section on a group basis

[[Page S6067]]

     in order to ensure that such manufacturers receive access to, 
     and fair pricing of, such testing services.
       (e) Extensions for Limited Laboratory Capacity.--
       (1) In general.--The regulations promulgated under 
     subsection (a) shall provide that a tobacco product 
     manufacturer shall not be considered to be in violation of 
     this section before the applicable deadline, if--
       (A) the tobacco products of such manufacturer are in 
     compliance with all other requirements of this Act; and
       (B) the conditions described in paragraph (2) are met.
       (2) Conditions.--Notwithstanding the requirements of this 
     section, the Administrator may delay the date by which a 
     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 tobacco product manufacturer provides evidence to 
     the Administrator demonstrating that--
       (A) the manufacturer has submitted the required products 
     for testing to a laboratory and has done so sufficiently in 
     advance of the deadline to create a reasonable expectation of 
     completion by the deadline;
       (B) the products currently are awaiting testing by the 
     laboratory; and
       (C) neither that laboratory nor any other laboratory is 
     able to complete testing by the deadline at customary, 
     nonexpedited testing fees.
       (3) Extension.--The Administrator, taking into account the 
     laboratory testing capacity that is available to tobacco 
     product manufacturers, shall review and verify the evidence 
     submitted by a tobacco product manufacturer in accordance 
     with paragraph (2). If the Administrator finds that the 
     conditions described in such paragraph are met, the 
     Administrator shall notify the 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 Administrator has not made a finding before 
     the reporting deadline, the manufacturer shall not be 
     considered to be in violation of such requirements until the 
     Administrator finds that the conditions described in 
     paragraph (2) have not been met, or until 1 year after the 
     reporting deadline, whichever occurs sooner.
       (4) Additional extension.--In addition to the time that may 
     be provided under paragraph (3), the Administrator may 
     provide further extensions of time, in increments of no more 
     than 1 year, for required testing and reporting to occur if 
     the Administrator determines, based on evidence properly and 
     timely submitted by a 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 other than this section.

     SEC. 118. PRESERVATION OF STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITY.

       (a) In General.--
       (1) Preservation.--Except as provided in paragraph (2)(A), 
     nothing in this Act, or rules promulgated under this Act,

     (including the Armed Forces), a State or political 
     subdivision of a State, or the government of an Indian tribe 
     to enact, adopt, promulgate, and enforce any law, rule, 
     regulation, or other measure with respect to tobacco products 
     that is in addition to requirements established under this 
     Act, including a law, rule, regulation, or other measure 
     relating to or prohibiting the sale, distribution, 
     possession, or use of tobacco products by individuals of any 
     age, information reporting to the State. No provision of this

     in addition to, any requirement under the provisions of this 
     Act relating to tobacco product standards, premarket review, 
     adulteration, misbranding, labeling, registration, good 
     manufacturing standards, or modified risk tobacco products.
       (B) Exception.--Subparagraph (A) does not apply to 
     requirements relating to the sale, distribution, possession, 
     information reporting to the State, use of, tobacco product 
     by individuals of any age. Information disclosed to a State 
     under subparagraph (A) that is exempt from disclosure under 
     section 552(b)(4) of title 5, United States Code, shall be 
     treated as a trade secret and confidential information by the 
     State.
       (b) Rule of Construction Regarding Product Liability.--No 
     provision of this Act relating to a tobacco product shall be 
     construed to modify or otherwise affect any action or the 
     liability of any person under the product liability law of 
     any State.

     SEC. 403. ESTABLISHMENT OF RANKINGS.

       (a) Standards and Procedures for Rankings.--Within 24 
     months after the effective date of this Act, the 
     Administrator shall, by regulation, after consultation with 
     an Advisory Committee established for such purpose, establish 
     the standards and procedures for promulgating rankings, 
     comprehensible to consumers of tobacco products, of the 
     following categories of tobacco products and also nicotine-
     containing products on the basis of the relative risks of 
     serious or chronic tobacco-related diseases and adverse 
     health conditions those categories of tobacco products and 
     also nicotine-containing products respectively present--
       (1) cigarettes;
       (2) loose tobacco for roll-your-own tobacco products;
       (3) little cigars;
       (4) cigars;
       (5) pipe tobacco;
       (6) moist snuff;
       (7) dry snuff;
       (8) chewing tobacco;
       (9) other forms of tobacco products, including pelletized 
     tobacco and compressed tobacco, treated collectively as a 
     single category; and
       (10) other nicotine-containing products, treated 
     collectively as a single category.
     The Administrator shall not have authority or discretion to 
     establish a relative-risk ranking of any category or 
     subcategory of tobacco products or any category or 
     subcategory of nicotine-containing products other than the 
     ten categories specified in this subsection.
       (b) Considerations in Promulgating Regulations.--In 
     promulgating regulations under this section, the 
     Administrator--
       (1) shall take into account relevant epidemiologic studies 
     and other relevant competent and reliable scientific 
     evidence; and
       (2) in assessing the risks of serious or chronic tobacco-
     related diseases and adverse health conditions presented by a 
     particular category, shall consider the range of tobacco 
     products or nicotine-containing products within the category, 
     and shall give appropriate weight to the market shares of the 
     respective products in the category.
       (c) Promulgation of Rankings of Categories.--Once the 
     initial regulations required by subsection (a) are in effect, 
     the Administrator shall promptly, by order, after notice and 
     an opportunity for comment, promulgate to the general public 
     rankings of the categories of tobacco products and nicotine-
     containing products in accordance with those regulations. The 
     Administrator shall promulgate the initial rankings of those 
     categories of tobacco products and nicotine-containing 
     products to the general public not later than January 1, 
     2010. Thereafter, on an annual basis, the Administrator 
     shall, by order, promulgate to the general public updated 
     rankings that are (1) in accordance with those regulations, 
     and (2) reflect the scientific evidence available at the time 
     of promulgation. The Administrator shall open and maintain an 
     ongoing public docket for receipt of data and other 
     information submitted by any person with respect to such 
     annual promulgation of rankings.

     SEC. 504. SEIZURE.

       (a) Articles Subject to Seizure.--
       (1) Any tobacco product that is adulterated or misbranded 
     when introduced into or while in interstate commerce or while 
     held for sale (whether or not the first sale) after shipment 
     in interstate commerce, or which may not, under the 
     provisions of this Act, be introduced into interstate 
     commerce, shall be liable to be proceeded against while in 
     interstate commerce, or at any time thereafter, on libel of 
     information and condemned in any district court of the United 
     States within the jurisdiction of which the tobacco product 
     is found. No libel for condemnation shall be instituted under 
     this Act for any alleged misbranding if there is pending in 
     any court a libel for condemnation proceeding under this Act 
     based upon the same alleged misbranding, and not more than 
     one such proceeding shall be instituted if no such proceeding 
     is so pending, except that such limitations shall not apply--
       (A) when such misbranding has been the basis of a prior 
     judgment in favor of the United States, in a criminal, 
     injunction, or libel for condemnation proceeding under this 
     Act, or

[[Page S6074]]

       (B) when the Administrator has probable cause to believe 
     from facts found, without hearing, by the Administrator or 
     any officer or employee of the Agency that the misbranded 
     tobacco product is dangerous to health beyond the inherent 
     danger to health posed by tobacco, or that the labeling of 
     the misbranded tobacco product is fraudulent, or would be in 
     a material respect misleading to the injury or damage of the 
     purchaser or consumer. In any case where the number of libel 
     for condemnation proceedings is limited as above provided, 
     the proceeding pending or instituted shall, on application of 
     the claimant, seasonably made, be removed for trial to any 
     district agreed upon by stipulation between the parties, or, 
     in case of failure to so stipulate within a reasonable time, 
     the claimant may apply to the court of the district in which 
     the seizure has been made, and such court (after giving the 
     United States attorney for such district reasonable notice 
     and opportunity to be heard) shall by order, unless good 
     cause to the contrary is shown, specify a district of 
     reasonable proximity to the claimant's principal place of 
     business, to which the case shall be removed for trial.
       (2) The following shall be liable to be proceeded against 
     at any time on libel of information and condemned in any 
     district court of the United States within the jurisdiction 
     of which they are found--
       (A) any tobacco product that is an illicit tobacco product;
       (B) any container of an illicit tobacco product;
       (C) any equipment or thing used in making an illicit 
     tobacco product; and
       (D) any adulterated or misbranded tobacco product.
       (3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), no libel for 
     condemnation may be instituted under paragraph (1) or (2) 
     against any tobacco product which--
       (i) is misbranded under this Act because of its 
     advertising, and
       (ii) is being held for sale to the ultimate consumer in an 
     establishment other than an establishment owned or operated 
     by a manufacturer, packer, or distributor of the tobacco 
     product.
       (B) A libel for condemnation may be instituted under 
     paragraph (1) or (2) against a tobacco product described in 
     subparagraph (A) if the tobacco product's advertising which 
     resulted in the tobacco product being misbranded was 
     disseminated in the establishment in which the tobacco 
     product is being held for sale to the ultimate consumer--
       (i) such advertising was disseminated by, or under the 
     direction of, the owner or operator of such establishment, or
       (ii) all or part of the cost of such advertising was paid 
     by such owner or operator.
       (b) Procedures.--The tobacco product, equipment, or other 
     thing proceeded against shall be liable to seizure by process 
     pursuant to the libel, and the procedure in cases under this 
     section shall conform, as nearly as may be, to the procedure 
     in admiralty; except that on demand of either party any issue 
     of fact joined in any such case shall be tried by jury. When 
     libel for condemnation proceedings under this section, 
     involving the same claimant and the same issues of 
     adulteration or misbranding, are pending in two or more 
     jurisdictions, such pending proceedings, upon application of 
     the claimant seasonably made to the court of one such 
     jurisdiction, shall be consolidated for trial by order of 
     such court, and tried in (1) any district selected by the 
     claimant where one of such proceedings is pending; or (2) a 
     district agreed upon by stipulation between the parties. If 
     no order for consolidation is so made within a reasonable 
     time, the claimant may apply to the court of one such 
     jurisdiction and such court (after giving the United States 
     attorney for such district reasonable notice and opportunity 
     to be heard) shall by order, unless good cause to the 
     contrary is shown, specify a district of reasonable proximity 
     to the claimant's principal place of business, in which all 
     such pending proceedings shall be consolidated for trial and 
     tried. Such order of consolidation shall not apply so as to 
     require the removal of any case the date for trial of which 
     has been fixed. The court granting such order shall give 
     prompt notification thereof to the other courts having 
     jurisdiction of the cases covered thereby.
       (c) Samples and Analyses.--The court at any time after 
     seizure up to a reasonable time before trial shall by order 
     allow any party to a condemnation proceeding, the party's 
     attorney or agent, to obtain a representative sample of the 
     article seized and a true copy of the analysis, if any, on 
     which the proceeding is based and the identifying marks or 
     numbers, if any, of the packages from which the samples 
     analyzed were obtained.
       (d) Disposition of Condemned Tobacco Products.--(1) Any 
     tobacco product condemned under this section shall, after 
     entry of the decree, be disposed of by destruction or sale as 
     the court may, in accordance with the provisions of this 
     section, direct; and the proceeds thereof, if sold, less the 
     legal costs and charges, shall be paid into the Treasury of 
     the United States; but such tobacco product shall not be sold 
     under such decree contrary to the provisions of this Act or 
     the laws of the jurisdiction in which sold. After entry of 
     the decree and upon the payment of the costs of such 
     proceedings and the execution of a good and sufficient bond 
     conditioned that such article shall not be sold or disposed 
     of contrary to the provisions of this Act or the laws of any 
     State in which sold, the court may by order direct that such 
     tobacco product be delivered to the owner thereof to be 
     destroyed or brought into compliance with the provisions of 
     this Act, under the supervision of an officer or employee 
     duly designated by the Administrator; and the expenses of 
     such supervision shall be paid by the person obtaining 
     release of the tobacco product under bond. If the tobacco 
     product was imported into the United States and the person 
     seeking its release establishes (A) that the adulteration, 
     misbranding, or violation did not occur after the tobacco 
     product was imported, and (B) that the person seeking the 
     release of the tobacco product had no cause for believing 
     that it was adulterated, misbranded, or in violation before 
     it was released from customs custody, the court may permit 
     the tobacco product to be delivered to the owner for 
     exportation under section 709 in lieu of destruction upon a 
     showing by the owner that there is a reasonable certainty 
     that the tobacco product will not be re-imported into the 
     United States.
       (2) The provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection 
     shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the court, apply 
     to any equipment or other thing which is not otherwise within 
     the scope of such paragraph and which is referred to in 
     paragraph (2) of subsection (a).
       (3) Whenever in any proceeding under this section, 
     involving paragraph (2) of subsection (a), the condemnation 
     of any equipment or thing (other than a tobacco product) is 
     decreed, the court shall allow the claim of any claimant, to 
     the extent of such claimant's interest, for remission or 
     mitigation of such forfeiture if such claimant proves to the 
     satisfaction of the court (A) that such claimant has not 
     caused the equipment or thing to be within one of the 
     categories referred to in such paragraph (2) and has no 
     interest in any tobacco product referred to therein, (B) that 
     such claimant has an interest in such equipment or other 
     thing as owner or lienor or otherwise, acquired by such 
     claimant in good faith, and (C) that such claimant at no time 
     had any knowledge or reason to believe that such equipment or 
     other thing was being or would be used in, or to facilitate, 
     the violation of laws of the United States relating to any 
     illicit tobacco product.
       (e) Costs and Fees.--When a decree of condemnation is 
     entered against the tobacco product or other article, court 
     costs and fees, and storage and other proper expenses shall 
     be awarded against the person, if any, intervening as 
     claimant of the tobacco product or other article.
       (f) Removal for Trial.--In the case of removal for trial of 
     any case as provided by subsection (a) or (b)--
       (1) The clerk of the court from which removal is made shall 
     promptly transmit to the court in which the case is to be 
     tried all records in the case necessary in order that such 
     court may exercise jurisdiction.
       (2) The court to which such case was removed shall have the 
     powers and be subject to the duties, for purposes of such 
     case, which the court from which removal was made would have 
     had, or to which such court would have been subject, if such 
     case had not been removed.
       (g) Administrative Detention of Tobacco Products.--
       (1) Detention authority.--
       (A) In general.--An officer or qualified employee of the 
     Agency may order the detention, in accordance with this 
     subsection, of any tobacco product that is found during an 
     inspection, examination, or investigation under this Act 
     conducted by such officer or qualified employee, if the 
     officer or qualified employee has credible evidence or 
     information indicating that such article presents a threat of 
     serious adverse health consequences beyond those normally 
     inherent in the use of tobacco products.
       (B) Administrator's approval.--A tobacco product or 
     component thereof may be ordered detained under subparagraph 
     (A) if, but only if, the Administrator or an official 
     designated by the Administrator approves the order. An 
     official may not be so designated unless the official is an 
     officer with supervisory responsibility for the inspection, 
     examination, or investigation that led to the order.
       (2) Period of detention.--A tobacco product may be detained 
     under paragraph (1) for a reasonable period, not to exceed 20 
     days, unless a greater period, not to exceed 30 days, is 
     necessary, to institute an action under subsection (a) or 
     section 702.
       (3) Security of detained tobacco product.--An order under 
     paragraph (1) may require that the tobacco product to be 
     detained be labeled or marked as detained, and shall require 
     that the tobacco product be maintained in or removed to a 
     secure facility, as appropriate. A tobacco product subject to 
     such an order shall not be transferred by any person from the 
     place at which the tobacco product is ordered detained, or 
     from the place to which the tobacco product is so removed, as 
     the case may be, until released by the Administrator or until 
     the expiration of the detention period applicable under such 
     order, whichever occurs first. This subsection may not be 
     construed as authorizing the delivery of the tobacco product 
     pursuant to the execution of a bond while the tobacco product 
     is subject to the order, and section 709 does not authorize 
     the delivery of the tobacco product pursuant to the execution 
     of a bond while the article is subject to the order.
       (4) Appeal of detention order.--
       (A) In general.--With respect to a tobacco product ordered 
     detained under paragraph (1), any person who would be 
     entitled to be a

[[Page S6075]]

     claimant of such tobacco product if the tobacco product were 
     seized under subsection (a) may appeal the order to the 
     Administrator. Within five days after such an appeal is 
     filed, the Administrator, after providing opportunity for an 
     informal hearing, shall confirm or terminate the order 
     involved, and such confirmation by the Administrator shall be 
     considered a final agency action for purposes of section 702 
     of title 5, United States Code. If during such five-day 
     period the Administrator fails to provide such an 
     opportunity, or to confirm or terminate such order, the order 
     is deemed to be terminated.
       (B) Effect of instituting court action.--The process under 
     subparagraph (A) for the appeal of an order under paragraph 
     (1) terminates if the Administrator institutes an action 
     under subsection (a) or section 702 regarding the tobacco 
     product involved.

     SEC. 505. REPORT OF MINOR VIOLATIONS.

       Nothing in this Act shall be construed as requiring the 
     Administrator to report for prosecution, or for institution 
     of libel or injunction proceedings, minor violations of this 
     Act whenever the Administrator believes that the public 
     interest will be adequately served by a suitable written 
     notice or warning.

     SEC. 506. INSPECTION.

       (a) Authority To Inspect.--The Administrator shall have the 
     power to inspect the premises of a tobacco product 
     manufacturer for purposes of determining compliance with this 
     Act, or the regulations promulgated under it. Officers of the 
     Agency designated by the Administrator, upon presenting 
     appropriate credentials and a written notice to the person in 
     charge of the premises, are authorized to enter, at 
     reasonable times, without a search warrant, any factory, 
     warehouse, or other establishment in which tobacco products 
     are manufactured, processed, packaged, or held for domestic 
     distribution. Any such inspection shall be conducted within 
     reasonable limits and in a reasonable manner, and shall be 
     limited to examining only those things, including but not 
     limited to records, relevant to determining whether 
     violations of this Act, or regulations under it, have 
     occurred. No inspection authorized by this section shall 
     extend to financial data, sales data other than shipment 
     data, pricing data, personnel data (other than data as to 
     qualifications of technical and professional personnel 
     performing functions subject to this Act), or research data. 
     A separate notice shall be given for each such inspection, 
     but a notice shall not be required for each entry made during 
     the period covered by the inspection. Each such inspection 
     shall be commenced and completed with reasonable promptness.
       (b) Report of Observations.--Before leaving the premises, 
     the officer of the Agency who has supervised or conducted the 
     inspection shall give to the person in charge of the premises 
     a report in writing setting forth any conditions or practices 
     that appear to manifest a violation of this Act, or the 
     regulations under it.
       (c) Samples.--If the officer has obtained any sample in the 
     course of inspection, prior to leaving the premises that 
     officer shall give to the person in charge of the premises a 
     receipt describing the samples obtained. As to each sample 
     obtained, the officer shall furnish promptly to the person in 
     charge of the premises a copy of the sample and of any 
     analysis made upon the sample.

     SEC. 507. EFFECT OF COMPLIANCE.

       Compliance with the provisions of this Act and the 
     regulations promulgated under it shall constitute a complete 
     defense to any civil action, including but not limited to any 
     products liability action, that seeks to recover damages, 
     whether compensatory or punitive, based upon an alleged 
     defect in the labeling or advertising of any tobacco product 
     distributed for sale domestically.

     SEC. 508. IMPORTS.

       (a) Imports; List of Registered Foreign Establishments; 
     Samples From Unregistered Foreign Establishments; Examination 
     and Refusal of Admission.--The Secretary of Homeland Security 
     shall deliver to the Administrator, upon request by the 
     Administrator, samples of tobacco products that are being 
     imported or offered for import into the United States, giving 
     notice thereof to the owner or consignee, who may appear 
     before the Administrator and have the right to introduce 
     testimony. The Administrator shall furnish to the Secretary 
     of Homeland Security a list of establishments registered 
     pursuant to subsection (d) of section 109 of this Act, and 
     shall request that, if any tobacco products manufactured, 
     prepared, or processed in an establishment not so registered 
     are imported or offered for import into the United States, 
     samples of such tobacco products be delivered to the 
     Administrator, with notice of such delivery to the owner or 
     consignee, who may appear before the Administrator and have 
     the right to introduce testimony. If it appears from the 
     examination of such samples or otherwise that (1) such 
     tobacco product is forbidden or restricted in sale in the 
     country in which it was produced or from which it was 
     exported, or (2) such tobacco product is adulterated, 
     misbranded, or otherwise in violation of this Act, then such 
     tobacco product shall be refused admission, except as 
     provided in subsection (b) of this section. The Secretary of 
     Homeland Security shall cause the destruction of any such 
     tobacco product refused admission unless such tobacco product 
     is exported, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of 
     Homeland Security, within ninety days of the date of notice 
     of such refusal or within such additional time as may be 
     permitted pursuant to such regulations.
       (b) Disposition of Refused Tobacco Products.--Pending 
     decision as to the admission of a tobacco product being 
     imported or offered for import, the Secretary of Homeland 
     Security may authorize delivery of such tobacco product to 
     the owner or consignee upon the execution by such consignee 
     of a good and sufficient bond providing for the payment of 
     such liquidated damages in the event of default as may be 
     required pursuant to regulations of the Secretary of Homeland 
     Security. If it appears to the Administrator that a tobacco 
     product included within the provisions of clause (3) of 
     subsection (a) of this section can, by relabeling or other 
     action, be brought into compliance with this Act or rendered 
     other than a tobacco product, final determination as to 
     admission of such tobacco product may be deferred and, upon 
     filing of timely written application by the owner or 
     consignee and the execution by such consignee of a bond as 
     provided in the preceding provisions of this subsection, the 
     Administrator may, in accordance with regulations, authorize 
     the applicant to perform such relabeling or other action 
     specified in such authorization (including destruction or 
     export of rejected tobacco products or portions thereof, as 
     may be specified in the Administrator's authorization). All 
     such relabeling or other action pursuant to such 
     authorization shall in accordance with regulations be under 
     the supervision of an officer or employee of the Agency 
     designated by the Administrator, or an officer or employee of 
     the Department of Homeland Security designated by the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security.
       (c) Charges Concerning Refused Tobacco Products.--All 
     expenses (including travel, per diem or subsistence, and 
     salaries of officers or employees of the United States) in 
     connection with the destruction provided for in subsection 
     (a) of this section and the supervision of the relabeling or 
     other action authorized under the provisions of subsection 
     (b) of this section, the amount of such expenses to be 
     determined in accordance with regulations, and all expenses 
     in connection with the storage, cartage, or labor with 
     respect to any tobacco product refused admission under 
     subsection (a) of this section, shall be paid by the owner or 
     consignee and, in default of such payment, shall constitute a 
     lien against any future importations made by such owner or 
     consignee.

     SEC. 509. TOBACCO PRODUCTS FOR EXPORT.

       (a) Exemption for Tobacco Products Exported.--Except as 
     provided in subsection (b), a tobacco product intended for 
     export shall be exempt from this Act if--
       (1) it is not in conflict with the laws of the country to 
     which it is intended fore export, as shown by either (A) a 
     document issued by the government of that country or (B) a 
     document provided by a person knowledgeable with respect to 
     the relevant laws of that country and qualified by training 
     and experience to opine on whether the tobacco product is or 
     is not in conflict with such laws;
       (2) it is labeled on the outside of the shipping package 
     that it is intended for export; and
       (3) the particular units of tobacco product intended for 
     export have not been sold or offered for sale in domestic 
     commerce.
       (b) Products for U.S. Armed Forces Overseas.--A tobacco 
     product intended for export shall not be exempt from this Act 
     if it is intended for sale or distribution to members or 
     units of the Armed Forces of the United States located 
     outside of the United States.
       (c) This Act shall not apply to a person that manufactures 
     and/or distributes tobacco products solely for export under 
     subsection (a), except to the extent such tobacco products 
     are subject to subsection (b).

                          TITLE IX--USER FEES

     SEC. 901. USER FEES.

       (a) Assessment of User Fees.--The Administrator shall 
     assess an annual user fee for each fiscal year beginning in 
     fiscal year 2010, in an amount calculated in accordance with 
     this section, upon each tobacco product manufacturer 
     (including each importer) that is subject to this Act.
       (b) Use of Fee.--The Administrator shall utilize an amount 
     equal to the amount of user fees collected under this section 
     in each fiscal year to pay for the costs of the activities of 
     the Tobacco Regulatory Agency related to the regulation of 
     tobacco products under this Act.
       (c) Amount of Fee.--
       (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the 
     total amount of user fees assessed for each fiscal year 
     pursuant to this section shall be sufficient, and shall not 
     exceed the amount necessary, to pay for the costs of the 
     activities described in subsection (b) for that fiscal year.
       (2) Total.--The total assessment under this section--
       (A) for fiscal year 2010 shall be $100,000,000; and
       (B) for each subsequent fiscal year, shall not exceed the 
     limit on the assessment imposed during the previous fiscal 
     year, as adjusted by the Administrator (after notice, 
     published in the Federal Register) to reflect the greater 
     of--
       (i) the total percentage change that occurred in the 
     Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers (all items; 
     United States city average) for the 12-month period ending on 
     June 30 preceding the fiscal year for which fees are being 
     established; or
       (ii) the total percentage change for the previous fiscal 
     year in basic pay under the General Schedule in accordance 
     with section 5332 of title 5, United States Code, as adjusted 
     by any locality-based comparability payment pursuant to 
     section 5304 of such title for Federal employees stationed in 
     the District of Columbia.
       (3) Notification.--The Administrator shall notify each 
     tobacco product manufacturer subject to this section of the 
     amount of the annual assessment imposed on such tobacco 
     product manufacturer under subsection (d). Such notifications 
     shall occur not later than the July 31 prior to the beginning 
     of the fiscal year for which such assessment is made, and 
     payments of all assessments shall be made not later than 60 
     days after each such notification. Such notification shall 
     contain a complete list of the assessments imposed on tobacco 
     product manufacturers for that fiscal year.
       (d) Liability of Tobacco Product Manufacturers for User 
     Fees.--
       (1) In general.--The user fee to be paid by each tobacco 
     product manufacturer shall be determined in each fiscal year 
     by multiplying--
       (A) such tobacco product manufacturer's market share of 
     tobacco products, as determined under regulations issued 
     pursuant to subsection (e); by
       (B) the total user fee assessment for such fiscal year, as 
     determined under subsection (c).

[[Page S6078]]

       (2) Limitation.--Except as provided in paragraph (3), no 
     tobacco product manufacturer shall be required to pay a 
     percentage of a total annual user fee for all tobacco product 
     manufacturers that exceeds the market share of such 
     manufacturer.
       (3) Failure to pay.--If--
       (A) a tobacco product manufacturer fails to pay its user 
     fee share in full by the due date;
       (B) the Administrator, after diligent inquiry, concludes 
     that such manufacturer is unlikely to pay its user fee share 
     in full by the time such payment will be needed by the 
     Administrator; and
       (C) the Administrator and the Department of Justice make 
     diligent efforts to obtain payment in full from such tobacco 
     product manufacturer;

     the Administrator may re-allocate the unpaid amount owed by 
     that tobacco product manufacturer to the other tobacco 
     product manufacturers on the basis of their respective market 
     shares. If the Administrator takes such action, the 
     Administrator shall set a reasonable time, not less than 60 
     days from the date of the notice of the amount due, for 
     payment of that amount. If and to the extent that the 
     Administrator ultimately receives from that tobacco product 
     manufacturer or any successor to such tobacco product 
     manufacturer any payment in respect of the previously unpaid 
     obligation, the Administrator shall credit such payment to 
     the tobacco product manufacturers that paid portions of the 
     re-allocated amount, in proportion to their respective 
     payments of such amount.
       (e) Regulations.--Not later than 12 months after the date 
     of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall, by 
     regulation, establish a system for determining the market 
     shares of tobacco products for each tobacco product 
     manufacturer subject to this section. In promulgating 
     regulations under this subsection, the Administrator shall--
       (1) take into account the differences between categories 
     and subcategories of tobacco products in terms of sales, 
     manner of unit packaging, and any other factors relevant to 
     the calculation of market share for a tobacco product 
     manufacturer;
       (2) take into account that different tobacco product 
     manufacturers rely to varying degrees on the sales of 
     different categories and subcategories of tobacco products; 
     and
       (3) provide that the market share of tobacco products for 
     each tobacco product manufacturer shall be recalculated on an 
     annual basis.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Cigarette smoking is a leading cause of preventable 
     deaths in the United States. Cigarette smoking significantly 
     increases the risk of developing lung cancer, heart disease, 
     chronic bronchitis, emphysema and other serious diseases with 
     adverse health conditions.
       (2) The risk for serious diseases is significantly affected 
     by the type of tobacco product and the frequency, duration 
     and manner of use.
       (3) No tobacco product has been shown to be safe and 
     without risks. The health risks associated with cigarettes 
     are significantly greater than those associated with the use 
     of smoke-free tobacco and nicotine products.
       (4) Nicotine in tobacco products is addictive but is not 
     considered a significant threat to health.
       (5) It is the smoke inhaled from burning tobacco which 
     poses the most significant risk of serious diseases.
       (6) Quitting cigarette smoking significantly reduces the 
     risk for serious diseases.
       (7) Adult tobacco consumers have a right to be fully and 
     accurately informed about the risks of serious diseases, the 
     significant differences in the comparative risks of different 
     tobacco and nicotine-based products, and the benefits of 
     quitting. This information should be based on sound science.
       (8) Governments, public health officials, tobacco 
     manufacturers and others share a responsibility to provide 
     adult tobacco consumers with accurate information about the 
     various health risks and comparative risks associated with 
     the use of different tobacco and nicotine products.
       (9) Tobacco products should be regulated in a manner that 
     is designed to achieve significant and measurable reductions 
     in the morbidity and mortality associated with tobacco use. 
     Regulations should enhance the information available to adult 
     consumers to permit them to make informed choices, and 
     encourage the development of tobacco and nicotine products 
     with lower risks than cigarettes currently sold in the United 
     States.
       (10) The form of regulation should be based on the risks 
     and comparative risks of tobacco and nicotine products and 
     their respective product categories.
       (11) The regulation of marketing of tobacco products should 
     be consistent with constitutional protections and enhance an 
     adult consumer's ability to make an informed choice by 
     providing accurate information on the risks and comparative 
     risks of tobacco products.
       (12) Reducing the diseases and deaths associated with the 
     use of cigarettes serves public health goals and is in the 
     best interest of consumers and society. Harm reduction should 
     be the critical element of any comprehensive public policy 
     surrounding the health consequences of tobacco use.
       (13) Significant reductions in the harm associated with the 
     use of cigarettes can be achieved by providing accurate 
     information regarding the comparative risks of tobacco 
     products to adult tobacco consumers, thereby encouraging 
     smokers to migrate to the use of smoke-free tobacco and 
     nicotine products, and by developing new smoke-free tobacco 
     and nicotine products and other actions.
       (14) Governments, public health officials, manufacturers, 
     tobacco producers and consumers should support the 
     development, production, and commercial introduction of 
     tobacco leaf, and tobacco and nicotine-based products that 
     are scientifically shown to reduce the risks associated with 
     the use of existing tobacco products, particularly 
     cigarettes.
       (15) Adult tobacco consumers should have access to a range 
     of commercially viable tobacco and nicotine-based products.
       (16) There is substantial scientific evidence that selected 
     smokeless tobacco products can satisfy the nicotine addiction 
     of inveterate smokers while eliminating most, if not all, 
     risk of pulmonary and cardiovascular complications of smoking 
     and while reducing the risk of cancer by more than 95 
     percent.
       (17) Transitioning smokers to selected smokeless tobacco 
     products will eliminate environmental tobacco smoke and fire-
     related hazards.
       (18) Current ``abstain, quit, or die'' tobacco control 
     policies in the United States may have reached their maximum 
     possible public health benefit because of the large number of 
     cigarette smokers either unwilling or unable to discontinue 
     their addiction to nicotine.
       (19) There is evidence that harm reduction works and can be 
     accomplished in a way that will not increase initiation or 
     impede smoking cessation.
       (20) Health-related agencies and organizations, both within 
     the United States and abroad have already gone on record 
     endorsing Harm Reduction as an approach to further reducing 
     tobacco related illness and death.
       (21) Current Federal policy requires tobacco product 
     labeling that leaves the incorrect impression that all 
     tobacco product present equal risk.

     SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

       The purposes of this Act are--
       (1) to provide authority to the Tobacco Harm Reduction 
     Center by recognizing it as the primary Federal regulatory 
     authority with respect to tobacco products as provided for in 
     this Act;
       (2) to ensure that the Center 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 Center 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 Center with the authority to regulate the 
     levels of tar, nicotine, and other harmful components of 
     tobacco products;
       (6) to ensure that consumers are better informed regarding 
     the relative risks for death and disease between categories 
     of tobacco products;
       (7) to continue to allow 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 prevention, cessation, and harm reduction 
     policies and regulations to reduce disease risk and the 
     social costs associated with tobacco-related diseases;
       (10) to provide authority to the Department of Health and 
     Human Services to regulate tobacco products;
       (11) to establish national policies that effectively reduce 
     disease and death associated with cigarette smoking and other 
     tobacco use;
       (12) to establish national policies that encourage 
     prevention, cessation, and harm reduction measures regarding 
     the use of tobacco products;
       (13) to encourage current cigarette smokers who will not 
     quit to use noncombustible tobacco or nicotine products that 
     have significantly less risk than cigarettes;

[[Page S6080]]

       (14) to establish national policies that accurately and 
     consistently inform adult tobacco consumers of significant 
     differences in risk between respective tobacco products;
       (15) to establish national policies that encourage and 
     assist the development and awareness of noncombustible 
     tobacco and nicotine products;
       (16) to coordinate national and State prevention, 
     cessation, and harm reduction programs;
       (17) to impose measures to ensure tobacco products are not

     accordance with section 117, shall be regulated by the 
     Administrator under this Act.
       (b) Applicability.--This Act shall apply to all cigarettes, 
     cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless 
     tobacco and to any other tobacco products that the 
     Administrator by regulation deems to be subject to this Act.
       (c) Center.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services 
     shall establish within the Department of Health and Human 
     Services the Tobacco Harm Reduction Center. The head of the 
     Center shall be an Administrator, who shall assume the 
     statutory authority conferred by this Act, perform the 
     functions that relate to the subject matter of this Act, to 
     conduct postmarket surveillance, research, and public 
     education activities and have the authority to promulgate 
     regulations for the efficient enforcement of this Act. In 
     promulgating any regulations under such authority, in whole 
     or in part or any regulation that is likely to have an annual 
     effect on the economy of $50,000,000 or more or have a 
     material adverse effect on adult users of tobacco products, 
     tobacco product manufacturers, distributors, or retailers, 
     the Administrator shall--
       (1) determine the technological and economic ability of 
     parties that would be required to comply with the regulation 
     to comply with it;
       (2) consider experience gained under any relevantly similar 
     regulations at the Federal or State level;
       (3) determine the reasonableness of the relationship 
     between the costs of complying with such regulation and the 
     public health benefits to be achieved by such regulation;
       (4) determine the reasonable likelihood of measurable and 
     substantial reductions in morbidity and mortality among 
     individual tobacco users;

     producer of tobacco leaf is also a tobacco product 
     manufacturer or controlled by a tobacco product manufacturer, 
     the producer shall be subject to this Act in the producer's 
     capacity as a manufacturer. The exception in this 
     subparagraph shall not apply to a producer of tobacco leaf 
     who grows tobacco under a contract with a tobacco product 
     manufacturer and who is not otherwise engaged in the 
     manufacturing process.

     construed to grant the Administrator authority to promulgate 
     regulations on any matter that involves the production of 
     tobacco leaf or a producer thereof.
       (e) Rulemaking Procedures.--Each rulemaking under this Act 
     shall be in accordance with chapter 5 of title 5, United 
     States Code.

     in the manufacture, preparation, or processing of a tobacco 
     product that is imported or offered for import into the 
     United States shall, through electronic means or other means 
     permitted by the Administrator, register with the 
     Administrator the name and place of business of each such 
     establishment, the name of the United States agent for the 
     establishment, and the name of each importer of such tobacco 
     product in the United States that is known to such person.
       (2) Such person also shall provide the information required 
     by subsection (j), including sales made by mail, or through 
     the Internet, or other electronic means.
       (3) The Administrator is authorized to enter into 
     cooperative arrangements with officials of foreign countries 
     to ensure that adequate and effective means are available for 
     purposes of determining, from time to time, whether tobacco 
     products manufactured, prepared, or processed by an 
     establishment described in paragraph (1), if imported or 
     offered for import into the United States, shall be refused 
     admission on any of the grounds set forth in section 708.
       (e) Additional Establishments.--Every person duly 
     registered in accordance with the foregoing subsections of 
     this section shall immediately register with the 
     Administrator any additional establishment that it owns or 
     operates and in which it begins the manufacture, preparation, 
     or processing of a tobacco product or products for commercial 
     distribution domestically or for import into the United 
     States.
       (f) Exclusions From Application of This Section.--The 
     foregoing subsections of this section shall not apply to--
       (1) persons that manufacture, prepare, or process tobacco 
     products solely for use in research, teaching, chemical or 
     biological analysis, or export; or
       (2) such other classes of persons as the Administrator may 
     by regulation exempt from the application of this section 
     upon a finding that registration by such classes of persons 
     in accordance with this section is not necessary for the 
     protection of the public health.
       (g) Inspection of Premises.--Every establishment registered 
     with the Administrator pursuant to this section shall be 
     subject to inspection pursuant to section 706; and every such 
     establishment engaged in the manufacture, preparation, or 
     processing of a tobacco product or products shall be so 
     inspected by one or more officers or employees duly 
     designated by the Administrator at least once in the two-year 
     period beginning with the date of registration of such 
     establishment pursuant to this section and at least once in 
     every successive two-year period thereafter, except that 
     inspection of establishments outside the United States may be 
     conducted by other personnel pursuant to a cooperative 
     arrangement under subsection (d)(3).
       (h) Filing of Lists of Tobacco Products Manufactured, 
     Prepared, or Processed by Registrants; Statements; 
     Accompanying Disclosures.--
       (1) Every person that registers with the Administrator 
     under subsection (b), (c), (d), or (e) shall, at the time of 
     registration under any such subsection, file with the 
     Administrator a list of all brand styles (with each brand 
     style in each list listed by the common or usual name of the 
     tobacco product category to which it belongs and by any 
     proprietary name) that are being manufactured, prepared, or 
     processed by such person for commercial distribution 
     domestically or for import into the United States, and that 
     such person has not included in any list of tobacco products 
     filed by such person with the Administrator under this 
     paragraph or paragraph (2) before such time of registration. 
     Such list shall be prepared in such form and manner as the 
     Administrator may prescribe, and shall be accompanied by the 
     label for each such brand style and a representative sampling 
     of any other labeling and advertising for each;
       (2) Each person that registers with the Administrator under 
     this section shall report to the Administrator each August 
     for the preceding six-month period from January through June, 
     and each February for the preceding six-month period form 
     July through December, following information:
       (A) A list of each brand style introduced by the registrant 
     for commercial distribution domestically or for import into 
     the United States that has not been included in any list 
     previously filed by such registrant with the Administrator 
     under this subparagraph or paragraph (1). A list under this 
     subparagraph shall list a brand style by the common or usual 
     name of the tobacco product category to which it belongs and 
     by any proprietary name, and shall be accompanied by the 
     other information required by paragraph (1).
       (B) If since the date the registrant last made a report 
     under this paragraph (or if such registrant has not 
     previously made a report under this paragraph, since the 
     effective date of this Act) such registrant has discontinued 
     the manufacture, preparation, or processing for commercial 
     distribution domestically or for import into the United 
     States of a brand style included in a list filed by such 
     registrant under subparagraph (A) or paragraph (1), notice of 
     such discontinuance, the date of such discontinuance, and the 
     identity (by the common or usual name of the tobacco product 
     category to which it belongs and by any proprietary name) of 
     such tobacco product.
       (C) If, since the date the registrant reported pursuant to 
     subparagraph (B) a notice of discontinuance of a tobacco 
     product, the registrant has resumed the manufacture, 
     preparation, or processing for commercial distribution 
     domestically or for import into the United States of that 
     brand style, notice of such resumption, the date of such 
     resumption, the identity of such brand style (by the common 
     or usual name of the tobacco product category to which it 
     belongs and by any proprietary name), and the other 
     information required by paragraph (1), unless the registrant 
     has previously reported such resumption to the Administrator 
     pursuant to this subparagraph.
       (D) Any material change in any information previously 
     submitted pursuant to this paragraph (2) or paragraph (1).
       (i) Electronic Registration.--Registrations under 
     subsections (b), (c), (d), and (e) (including the submission 
     of updated information) shall be submitted to the 
     Administrator by electronic means, unless the Administrator 
     grants a request for waiver of such requirement because use 
     of electronic means is not reasonable for the person 
     requesting such waiver.

     SEC. 109. GENERAL PROVISIONS RESPECTING CONTROL OF TOBACCO 
                   PRODUCTS.

       (a) In General.--Any requirement established by or under 
     section 106, 107, or 113 applicable to a tobacco product 
     shall apply to such tobacco product until the applicability 
     of the requirement to the tobacco product has been changed by 
     action taken under section 111, section 114, section 115, or 
     subsection (d) of this section, and any requirement 
     established by or under section 106, 107, or 113 which is 
     inconsistent with a requirement imposed on such tobacco 
     product under section 111, section 114, section 115, or 
     subsection (d) of this 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 
     111, 112, 113, 114, or 115 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 Administrator 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 
     Administrator or the Administrator's representative under 
     section 107, 108, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, or 504, 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 
     Act, or when relevant in any proceeding under this Act.
       (d) Restrictions.--
       (1) In general.--The Administrator may issue regulations, 
     consistent with this Act, regarding tobacco products if the 
     Administrator determines that such regulation would be 
     appropriate for the protection of the public health. 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 users of the 
     tobacco product, and taking into account that the standard is 
     reasonably likely to result in measurable and substantial 
     reductions in morbidly and mortality among individual tobacco 
     users.
       (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 Administrator may 
     in such regulation prescribe.
       (e) Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements.--
       (1) Methods, facilities, and controls to conform.--
       (A) In general.--In applying manufacturing restrictions to 
     tobacco, the Administrator 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

[[Page S6085]]

     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 Act. Such 
     regulations may provide for the testing of raw tobacco for 
     pesticide chemical residues after a tolerance for such 
     chemical residues has been established.
       (B) Requirements.--The Administrator 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 Tobacco Products Scientific 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 but no earlier than four years from date of 
     enactment.
       (C) Additional special rule.--A tobacco product 
     manufactured in or imported into the United States shall not 
     contain foreign-grown flue-cured or burley tobacco that--
       (i) was knowingly grown or processed using a pesticide 
     chemical that is not approved under applicable Federal law 
     for use in domestic tobacco farming and processing; or
       (ii) in the case of a pesticide chemical that is so 
     approved, was grown or processed using the pesticide chemical 
     in a manner inconsistent with the approved labeling for use 
     of the pesticide chemical in domestic tobacco farming and 
     processing.
       (D) Exclusion.--Subparagraph (C)(ii) shall not apply to 
     tobacco products manufactured with foreign-grown flue-cured 
     or burley tobacco so long as that foreign grown tobacco was 
     either--
       (i) in the inventory of a manufacturer prior to the 
     effective date, or
       (ii) planted by the farmer prior to the effective date of 
     this Act and utilized by the manufacturer no later than 3 
     years after the effective date.
       (E) Setting of maximum residue limits.--The Administrator 
     shall adopt the following pesticide residue standards:
       Pesticide residue standards
       The maximum concentration of residues of the following 
     pesticides allowed in flue-cured or burley tobacco, expressed 
     as parts by weight of the residue per one million parts by 
     weight of the tobacco (PPM) are:
       CHLORDANE.....3.0
       DIBROMOCHLOROPROPANE (DBCP).....1.0
       DICAMBA (Temporary).... 5.0
       ENDRIN....0.1
       ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE (EDB)....0.1
       FORMOTHION.....0.5
       HEXACHLOROBENZENE (HCB)....0.1
       METHOXYCHLOR.....0.1
       TOXAPHENE.....0.3
       2,4-D (Temporary).....5.0
       2,4,5-T.....0.1
       Sum of ALDRIN and DIELDRIN.....0.1
       Sum of CYPERMETHRIN and PERMETHRIN (Temporary).....3.0
       Sum of DDT, TDE (DDD), and DDE .....0.4
       Sum of HEPTACHLOR and HEPTACHLOR EPOXIDE.....0.1
       (F) Maximum residue limits.--The Administrator shall adopt 
     regulations within one year of the effective date of this Act 
     to establish maximum residue limits for pesticides identified 
     under subparagraph (E) but not included in the table of such 
     subparagraph to account for the fact that weather and 
     agronomic conditions will cause pesticides identified in 
     subparagraph (E) to be detected in foreign-grown tobacco even 
     where the farmer has not knowingly added such pesticide.
       (2) Exemptions; variances.--
       (A) Petition.--Any person subject to any requirement 
     prescribed under paragraph (1) may petition the Administrator 
     for a permanent or temporary exemption or variance from such 
     requirement. Such a petition shall be submitted to the 
     Administrator in such form and manner as the Administrator 
     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 Act;
       (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 Administrator 
     shall prescribe.
       (B) Referral to the tobacco products scientific advisory 
     committee.--The Administrator 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 
     Administrator 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 
     Administrator under subparagraph (A); or
       (ii) the day after the petition was referred to the Tobacco 
     Products Scientific Advisory Committee,
     whichever occurs later, the Administrator shall by order 
     either deny the petition or approve it.
       (C) Approval.--The Administrator may approve--
       (i) a petition for an exemption for a tobacco product from 
     a requirement if the Administrator determines that compliance 
     with such requirement is not required to assure that the 
     tobacco product will be in compliance with this Act; and
       (ii) a petition for a variance for a tobacco product from a 
     requirement if the Administrator 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, facilities, and controls 
     prescribed by the requirement are sufficient to assure that 
     the tobacco product will be in compliance with this Act.
       (D) Conditions.--An order of the Administrator 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 Act.
       (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 end of the 3-year 
     period following the date of enactment of this Act.
       (f) Research and Development.--The Administrator may enter 
     into contracts for research, testing, and demonstrations 
     respecting tobacco products and may obtain tobacco products 
     for research, testing, and demonstration purposes.

     SEC. 110. SMOKING ARTICLE STANDARDS.

       (a) In General.--
       (1) Restrictions on descriptors used in marketing of 
     cigarettes.--
       (A) In general.--Except as provided in subparagraph (B), no 
     person shall use, with respect to any cigarette brand style 
     commercially distributed domestically, on the portion of the 
     package of such cigarette brand style that customarily is 
     visible to consumers before purchase, or in advertising of 
     such cigarette brand style any of the following as a 
     descriptor of any cigarette brand style--
       (i) the name of any candy or fruit;
       (ii) the word ``candy,'' ``citrus,'' ``cream,'' ``fruit,'' 
     ``sugar,'' ``sweet,'' ``tangy,'' or ``tart,''; or
       (iii) any extension or variation of any of the words 
     ``candy,'' ``citrus,'' ``cream,'' ``fruit,'' ``sugar,'' 
     ``sweet,'' ``tangy,'' or ``tart,'' including but not limited 
     to ``creamy,'' or ``fruity.''
       (B) Limitation.--Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to the 
     use of the following words or to any extension or variation 
     of any of them: ``clove'' and ``menthol''.
       (C) Scented materials.--No person shall use, in the 
     advertising or labeling of any cigarette commercially 
     distributed domestically, any scented materials, except in an 
     adult-only facility.
       (D) Definitions.--In this section:
       (i) The term ``candy'' means a confection made from sugar 
     or sugar substitute, including any confection identified 
     generically or by brand, and shall include the words 
     ``cacao,'' ``chocolate,'' ``cinnamon,'' ``cocoa,'' ``honey,'' 
     ``licorice,'' ``maple,'' ``mocha,'' and ``vanilla.''
       (ii) The term ``fruit'' means any fruit identified by 
     generic name, type, or variety, including but not limited to 
     ``apple,'' ``banana,'' ``cherry,'' and ``orange.'' The term 
     ``fruit'' does not include words that identify seeds, nuts or 
     peppers, or types or varieties thereof or words that are 
     extensions or variations of such words.
       (2) Smoking article standards.--
       (A) In general.--The Administrator may adopt smoking 
     article standards in addition to those in paragraph (1) if 
     the Administrator finds that a smoking article standard is 
     appropriate for the protection of the public health.
       (B) Determinations.--
       (i) Considerations.--In making a finding described in 
     subparagraph (A), the Administrator shall consider scientific 
     evidence concerning--

       (I) the risks and benefits to the users of smoking articles 
     of the proposed standard; and
       (II) that the standard is reasonably likely to result in 
     measurable and substantial reductions in morbidity and 
     mortality among individual tobacco users.

       (ii) Additional considerations.--In the event that the 
     Administrator makes a determination, set forth in a proposed 
     smoking article standard in a proposed rule, that it is

[[Page S6086]]

     appropriate for the protection of public health to require 
     the reduction or elimination of an additive, constituent 
     (including a smoke constituent), or other component of a 
     smoking article because the Administrator has found that the 
     additive, constituent, or other component is harmful, any 
     party objecting to the proposed standard on the ground that 
     the proposed standard will not reduce or eliminate the risk 
     of illness or injury may provide for the Administrator's 
     consideration scientific evidence that demonstrates that the 
     proposed standard will not reduce or eliminate the risk of 
     illness or injury.
       (3) Content of smoking article standards.--A smoking 
     article standard established under this section for a smoking 
     article--
       (A) may include provisions that are appropriate for the 
     protection of the public health, including provisions, where 
     appropriate--
       (i) for ``tar'' and nicotine yields of the product;
       (ii) for the reduction of other constituents, including 
     smoke constituents, or harmful components of the product; or
       (iii) relating to any other requirement under subparagraph 
     (B); and
       (B) may, where appropriate for the protection of the public 
     health, include--
       (i) provisions respecting the construction, components, 
     ingredients, additives, constituents, including smoke 
     constituents, and properties of the smoking article;
       (ii) provisions for the testing (on a sample basis or, if 
     necessary, on an individual basis) of the smoking article;
       (iii) provisions for the measurement of the smoking article 
     characteristics of the smoking article; and
       (iv) provisions requiring that the results of each or of 
     certain of the tests of the smoking article required to be 
     made under clause (ii) show that the smoking article is in 
     conformity with the portions of the standard for which the 
     test or tests were required.
       (4) Periodic reevaluation of smoking article standards.--
     The Administrator may provide for periodic evaluation of 
     smoking article standards established under this section to 
     determine whether such standards should be changed to reflect 
     new medical, scientific, or other technological data.
       (5) Cigarette ``tar'' limits.--
       (A) No increase in ``tar'' yields.--No cigarette 
     manufacturer shall distribute for sale domestically a brand 
     style of cigarettes that generates a ``tar'' yield greater 
     than the ``tar'' yield of that brand style of cigarettes on 
     the date of introduction of this Act, as determined by the 
     ISO smoking regimen and its associated tolerances. The 
     ``tar'' tolerances for cigarettes with ISO ``tar'' yields in 
     the range of 1 to 20 milligrams per cigarette, based on 
     variations arising from sampling procedure, test method, and 
     sampled product, itself, are the greater of plus or minus--
       (i) 15 percent; or
       (ii) 1 milligram per cigarette.
       (B) Limit on new cigarettes.--After the effective date of 
     this Act, no cigarette manufacturer shall manufacture for 
     commercial distribution domestically a brand style of 
     cigarettes that both--
       (i) was not in commercial distribution domestically on the 
     effective date of this Act, and
       (ii) generates a ``tar'' yield of greater than 20 
     milligrams per cigarette as determined by the ISO smoking 
     regimen and its associated tolerances.
       (C) Limit on all cigarettes.--After December 31, 2010, no 
     cigarette manufacturer shall manufacture for commercial 
     distribution domestically a brand style of cigarettes that 
     generates a ``tar'' yield greater than 20 milligrams per 
     cigarette as determined by the ISO smoking regimen and its 
     associated tolerances.
       (D) Review by administrator.--After the effective date of 
     this Act, the Administrator shall evaluate the available 
     scientific evidence addressing the potential relationship 
     between historical ``tar'' yield values and risk of harm to 
     smokers. If upon a review of that evidence, and after 
     consultation with technical experts of the Tobacco Harm 
     Reduction Center and the Centers for Disease Control and 
     Prevention and notice and an opportunity for public comment, 
     the Administrator determines, that a reduction in ``tar'' 
     yield may reasonably be expected to provide a meaningful 
     reduction of the risk or risks of harm to smokers, the 
     Administrator shall issue an order that--
       (i) provides that no cigarette manufacturer shall 
     manufacture for commercial distribution domestically a 
     cigarette that generates a ``tar'' yield that exceeds 14 
     milligrams as determined by the ISO smoking regimen and its 
     associated tolerances; and
       (ii) provides a reasonable time for manufacturers to come 
     into compliance with such prohibition.
       (6) Involvement of other agencies; informed persons.--In 
     carrying out duties under this section, the Administrator 
     shall endeavor to--
       (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 
     Administrator's judgment can make a significant contribution.
       (b) Considerations by Administrator.--
       (1) Technical achievability.--The Administrator shall 
     consider information submitted in connection with a proposed 
     standard regarding the technical achievability of compliance 
     with such standard.
       (2) Other considerations.--The Administrator shall consider 
     all other information submitted in connection with a proposed 
     standard, such as the creation of a significant demand for 
     contraband or other tobacco products that do not meet the 
     requirements of this Act and the significance of such demand.
       (c) Proposed Standards.--
       (1) In general.--The Administrator shall publish in the 
     Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking for the 
     establishment, amendment, or revocation of any smoking 
     article standard.
       (2) Requirements of notice.--A notice of proposed 
     rulemaking for the establishment or amendment of a smoking 
     article standard shall--
       (A) set forth a finding with supporting justification that 
     the smoking article standard is appropriate for the 
     protection of the public health;
       (B) invite interested persons to submit a draft or proposed 
     smoking article standard for consideration by the 
     Administrator;
       (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 smoking article 
     standard.
       (3) Finding.--A notice of proposed rulemaking for the 
     revocation of a smoking article standard shall set forth a 
     finding with supporting justification that the smoking 
     article standard is no longer appropriate for the protection 
     of the public health.
       (4) Comment.--The Administrator shall provide for a comment 
     period of not less than 90 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 standard and after consideration 
     of comments submitted under subsections (b) and (c) and any 
     report from the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory 
     Committee, if the Administrator determines that the standard 
     would be appropriate for the protection of the public health, 
     the Administrator shall--
       (A) promulgate a regulation establishing a smoking article 
     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 smoking 
     article 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 Administrator 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 
     Administrator 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.
       (3) Limitation on power granted.--Because of the importance 
     of a decision of the Administrator to issue a regulation--
       (A) banning cigarettes, smokeless smoking articles, little 
     cigars, cigars other than little cigars, pipe tobacco, or 
     roll-your-own smoking articles;
       (B) requiring the reduction of ``tar'' or nicotine yields 
     of a smoking article to zero;
       (C) prohibiting the sale of any smoking article in face-to-
     face transactions by a specific category of retail outlets;
       (D) establishing a minimum age of sale of smoking articles 
     to any person older than 18 years of age; or
       (E) requiring that the sale or distribution of a smoking 
     article be limited to the written or oral authorization of a 
     practitioner licensed by law to prescribe medical products,
     the Administrator is prohibited from taking such actions 
     under this Act.
       (4) Matchbooks.--For purposes of any regulations issued by 
     the Administrator under this Act, matchbooks of conventional 
     size containing not more than 20 paper matches, and which are 
     customarily given away for free with the purchase of smoking 
     articles, shall be considered as adult-written publications 
     which shall be permitted to contain advertising.
       (5) Amendment; revocation.--
       (A) Authority.--The Administrator, upon the Administrator'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 smoking article standard.

[[Page S6087]]

       (B) Effective date.--The Administrator may declare a 
     proposed amendment of a smoking article 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 Administrator determines that 
     making it so effective is in the public interest.
       (6) Referral to advisory committee.--
       (A) In general.--The Administrator shall refer a proposed 
     regulation for the establishment, amendment, or revocation of 
     a smoking article standard 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.
       (B) Initiation of referral.--The Administrator shall make a 
     referral under this paragraph--
       (i) on the Administrator's own initiative; or
       (ii) upon the request of an interested person that--

       (I) demonstrates good cause for the referral; and
       (II) is made before the expiration of the period for 
     submission of comments on the proposed regulation.

       (C) Provision of data.--If a proposed regulation is 
     referred under this paragraph to the Tobacco Products 
     Scientific Advisory Committee, the Administrator shall 
     provide the Advisory Committee with the data and information 
     on which such proposed regulation is based.
       (D) Report and recommendation.--The Tobacco Products 
     Scientific Advisory Committee shall, within 90 days after the 
     referral of a proposed regulation under this paragraph and 
     after independent study of the data and information furnished 
     to it by the Administrator and other data and information 
     before it, submit to the Administrator 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.
       (E) Public availability.--The Administrator shall make a 
     copy of each report and recommendation under subparagraph (D) 
     publicly available.

     SEC. 111. NOTIFICATION AND OTHER REMEDIES.

       (a) Notification.--If the Administrator 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 materially above the risk for death and disease of 
     tobacco products currently in interstate commerce, 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 
     Act (other than this section) to eliminate such risk,

     the Administrator 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 Administrator may order notification by any 
     appropriate means, including public service announcements. 
     Before issuing an order under this subsection, the 
     Administrator 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 Administrator 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, 
     acute adverse health consequences or death, the Administrator 
     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 Administrator 
     determines that inadequate grounds exist to support the 
     actions required by the order, the Administrator 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 Administrator 
     determines that the order should be amended to include a 
     recall of the tobacco product with respect to which the order 
     was issued, the Administrator shall, except as provided in 
     subparagraph (B), amend the order to require a recall. The 
     Administrator shall specify a timetable in which the tobacco 
     product recall will occur and shall require periodic reports 
     to the Administrator 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 
     Administrator 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 
     Administrator 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).

     SEC. 112. RECORDS AND REPORTS ON TOBACCO PRODUCTS.

       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 Administrator may by regulation 
     reasonably require to assure that such tobacco product is not 
     adulterated or misbranded.

     SEC. 113. APPLICATION FOR REVIEW OF CERTAIN SMOKING ARTICLES.

       (a) In General.--
       (1) New smoking article defined.--For purposes of this 
     section the term ``new smoking article'' means--
       (A) any smoking article that was not commercially marketed 
     in the United States as of the date of enactment of this Act; 
     and
       (B) any smoking article that incorporates a significant 
     modification (including changes in design, component, part, 
     or constituent, including a smoke constituent, or in the 
     content, delivery or form of nicotine, or other additive or 
     ingredient) of a smoking article where the reduced product 
     was commercially marketed in the United States after the date 
     of enactment of this Act.
       (2) Premarket review required.--
       (A) New products.--An order under subsection (c)(1)(A) for 
     a new smoking article is required unless the product--
       (i) is substantially equivalent to a smoking article 
     commercially marketed in the United States as of date of 
     enactment of this Act; and
       (ii) is in compliance with the requirements of this Act.
       (B) Consumer testing.--This section shall not apply to 
     smoking articles that are provided to adult tobacco consumers 
     for purposes of consumer testing. For purposes of this 
     section, the term ``consumer testing'' means an assessment of 
     smoking articles that is conducted by or under the control 
     and direction of a manufacturer for the purpose of evaluating 
     consumer acceptance of such smoking articles, utilizing only 
     the quantity of cigarettes that is reasonably necessary for 
     such assessment
       (3) Substantially equivalent defined.--
       (A) In general.--In this section, the term ``substantially 
     equivalent'' or ``substantial equivalence'' means, with 
     respect to the smoking article being compared to the 
     predicate smoking article, that the Administrator by order 
     has found that the smoking article--
       (i) has the same general characteristics as the predicate 
     smoking article; or
       (ii) has different characteristics and the information 
     submitted contains information, including clinical data if 
     deemed necessary by the Administrator, 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 for the consumer of the product.
       (B) Characteristics.--In subparagraph (A), the term 
     ``characteristics'' means the materials, ingredients, design, 
     composition, heating source, or other features of a smoking 
     article.
       (C) Limitation.--A smoking article may not be found to be 
     substantially equivalent to a predicate smoking article that 
     has been removed from the market at the initiative of the 
     Administrator or that has been determined by a judicial order 
     to be misbranded or adulterated.
       (4) Health information.--As part of a submission respecting 
     a smoking article, the person required to file a premarket 
     notification shall provide an adequate summary of any health 
     information related to the smoking article or state that such 
     information will be made available upon request by any 
     person.
       (b) Application.--
       (1) Contents.--An application under this section 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 smoking article and whether such smoking 
     article presents less risk than other smoking articles;
       (B) a full statement of the components, ingredients, 
     additives, and properties, and of the principle or principles 
     of operation, of such smoking article;
       (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 smoking article;
       (D) an identifying reference to any smoking article 
     standard under section 111 which would be applicable to any 
     aspect of such smoking article, and either adequate 
     information to show that such aspect of such smoking article 
     fully meets such smoking

[[Page S6088]]

     article standard or adequate information to justify any 
     deviation from such standard;
       (E) such samples of such smoking article and of components 
     thereof as the Administrator may reasonably require;
       (F) specimens of the labeling proposed to be used for such 
     smoking article; and
       (G) such other information relevant to the subject matter 
     of the application as the Administrator may require.
       (2) Referral to tobacco products scientific advisory 
     committee.--Upon receipt of an application meeting the 
     requirements set forth in paragraph (1), the Administrator--
       (A) may, on the Administrator'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 Administrator may establish) of a report 
     and recommendation respecting the application, together with 
     all underlying data and the reasons or basis for the 
     recommendation.
       (c) Action on Application.--
       (1) Deadline.--As promptly as possible, but in no event 
     later than 90 days after the receipt of an application under 
     subsection (b), the Administrator, after considering the 
     report and recommendation submitted under subsection (b)(2), 
     shall--
       (A) issue an order that the new product may be introduced 
     or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce if the 
     Administrator finds that none of the grounds specified in 
     paragraph (2) of this subsection applies; or
       (B) issue an order that the new product may not be 
     introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate 
     commerce if the Administrator 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.
       (2) Denial of application.--The Administrator shall deny an 
     application submitted under subsection (b) if, upon the basis 
     of the information submitted to the Administrator as part of 
     the application and any other information before the 
     Administrator with respect to such smoking article, the 
     Administrator finds that--
       (A) there is a lack of a showing that permitting such 
     smoking article 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 smoking 
     article do not conform to the requirements of section 110(e);
       (C) based on a fair evaluation of all material facts, the 
     proposed labeling is false or misleading in any particular; 
     or
       (D) such smoking article is not shown to conform to a 
     smoking article standard in effect under section 111, 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 Administrator determines to be 
     practicable, be accompanied by a statement informing the 
     applicant of the measures required to remove such application 
     from deniable form (which measures may include further 
     research by the applicant in accordance with 1 or more 
     protocols prescribed by the Administrator).
       (4) Basis for finding.--For purposes of this section, the 
     finding as to whether the commercial introduction of a 
     smoking article for which an application has been submitted 
     is appropriate for the protection of the public health shall 
     be determined with respect to the risks and benefits to the 
     users of the smoking article, and taking into account whether 
     such commercial introduction is reasonably likely to increase 
     the morbidly and mortality among individual tobacco users.
       (d) Withdrawal and Temporary Suspension.--
       (1) In general.--The Administrator shall, upon obtaining, 
     where appropriate, advice on scientific matters from the 
     Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee, and after due 
     notice and opportunity for informal hearing for a smoking 
     article for which an order was issued under subsection 
     (c)(1)(A), issue an order withdrawing the order if the 
     Administrator finds--
       (A) that the continued marketing of such smoking article 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 113; or
       (ii) has refused to permit access to, or copying or 
     verification of, such records as required by section 110; or
       (D) on the basis of new information before the 
     Administrator with respect to such smoking article, evaluated 
     together with the evidence before the Administrator when the 
     application was reviewed, that the methods used in, or the 
     facilities and controls used for, the manufacture, 
     processing, packing, or installation of such smoking article 
     do not conform with the requirements of section 110(e) and 
     were not brought into conformity with such requirements 
     within a reasonable time after receipt of written notice from 
     the Administrator of nonconformity;
       (E) on the basis of new information before the 
     Administrator, evaluated together with the evidence before 
     the Administrator when the application was reviewed, that the 
     labeling of such smoking article, 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 Administrator of 
     such fact; or
       (F) on the basis of new information before the 
     Administrator, evaluated together with the evidence before 
     the Administrator when such order was issued, that such 
     smoking article is not shown to conform in all respects to a 
     smoking article standard which is in effect under section 
     111, compliance with which was a condition to the issuance of 
     an order relating to 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 an order issued 
     pursuant to subsection (c)(1)(A) 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 section 116.
       (3) Temporary suspension.--If, after providing an 
     opportunity for an informal hearing, the Administrator 
     determines there is reasonable probability that the 
     continuation of distribution of a smoking article under an 
     order would cause serious, adverse health consequences or 
     death, that is greater than ordinarily caused by smoking 
     articles on the market, the Administrator shall by order 
     temporarily suspend the authority of the manufacturer to 
     market the product. If the Administrator issues such an 
     order, the Administrator shall proceed expeditiously under 
     paragraph (1) to withdraw such application.
       (e) Service of Order.--An order issued by the Administrator 
     under this section shall be served--
       (1) in person by any officer or employee of the department 
     designated by the Administrator; 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 Administrator.
       (f) Records.--
       (1) Additional information.--In the case of any smoking 
     article for which an order issued pursuant to subsection 
     (c)(1)(A) for an application filed under subsection (b) is in 
     effect, the applicant shall establish and maintain such 
     records, and make such reports to the Administrator, as the 
     Administrator 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 
     Administrator to determine, or facilitate a determination of, 
     whether there is or may be grounds for withdrawing or 
     temporarily suspending such order.
       (2) Access to records.--Each person required under this 
     section to maintain records, and each person in charge of 
     custody thereof, shall, upon request of an officer or 
     employee designated by the Administrator, permit such officer 
     or employee at all reasonable times to have access to and 
     copy and verify such records.
       (g) Investigational Smoking Article Exemption for 
     Investigational Use.--The Administrator may exempt smoking 
     articles intended for investigational use from the provisions 
     of this Act under such conditions as the Administrator may by 
     regulation prescribe.

     SEC. 114. REDUCED RISK TOBACCO PRODUCTS.

       (a) In General.--No person may introduce or deliver for 
     introduction into interstate commerce any reduced risk 
     tobacco product unless an order issued pursuant to subsection 
     (g) is effective with respect to such product.
       (b) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) Reduced risk tobacco product.--The term ``reduced risk 
     tobacco product'' means any tobacco product that is sold or 
     distributed for use to reduce harm or the risk of tobacco-
     related disease associated with commercially marketed tobacco 
     products.
       (2) Sold or distributed.--
       (A) In general.--With respect to a tobacco product, the 
     term ``sold or distributed for use to reduce harm or the risk 
     of tobacco-related disease associated with commercially 
     marketed tobacco products'' means a tobacco product--
       (i) the label, labeling, or advertising of which represents 
     explicitly or implicitly that--

       (I) the tobacco product presents a lower risk of tobacco-
     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
       (III) the tobacco product or its smoke does not contain or 
     is free of a substance;

       (ii) the label, labeling, or advertising of which uses the 
     descriptors ``light'', ``mild'', ``low'', ``medium'', ``ultra 
     light'', ``low tar'' or ``ultra low tar''; or
       (iii) the tobacco product manufacturer of which has taken 
     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 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

[[Page S6089]]

     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) Smokeless tobacco product.--No smokeless tobacco 
     product shall be considered to be ``sold or distributed for

     shall take effect 12 months after the date of enactment of 
     the Act.
       (c) Tobacco Dependence Products.--A product that is 
     intended to be used for the treatment of tobacco dependence, 
     including smoking cessation, is not a reduced risk tobacco 
     product under this section if it has been approved as a drug 
     or device by the Center and is subject to the requirements of 
     chapter V.
       (d) Filing.--Any person may file with the Administrator an 
     application for a reduced risk tobacco product. Such

       (5) all documents (including underlying scientific 
     information) relating to research findings conducted, 
     supported, or possessed by the tobacco product manufacturer 
     relating to the effect of the product on tobacco-related 
     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;

       (g) Marketing.--
       (1) Reduced risk products.--Except as provided in paragraph 
     (2), the Administrator shall, with respect to an application 
     submitted under this section, issue an order that a reduced 
     risk product may be commercially marketed only if the 
     Administrator 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) is reasonably likely to result in measurable and 
     substantial reductions in morbidity and mortality among 
     individual tobacco users.
       (2) Special rule for certain products.--The Administrator 
     may issue an order that a tobacco product may be introduced 
     or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce, 
     pursuant to an application under this section, with respect 
     to a tobacco product that may not be commercially marketed 
     under paragraph (1) if the Secretary makes the findings 
     required under this paragraph and determines that the 
     applicant has demonstrated that--
       (A) such order would be appropriate to promote the public 
     health; and
       (B) 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 reasonably likely 
     in subsequent studies.
       (3) Basis.--The determinations under paragraphs (1) and (2) 
     shall be based on--
       (A) the scientific evidence submitted by the applicant; and
       (B) scientific evidence and other information that is made 
     available to the Administrator.
       (h) Additional Conditions for Marketing.--
       (1) Reduced risk products.--The Administrator shall require 
     for the marketing of a product under this section that any 
     advertising or labeling concerning reduced risk products 
     enable the public to comprehend the information concerning 
     reduced risk and to understand the relative significance of 
     such information in the context of total health and in 
     relation to all of the diseases and health-related conditions 
     associated with the use of cigarettes and other tobacco 
     products.
       (2) Comparative claims.--The Administrator may require for 
     the marketing of a product under this subsection that a claim 
     comparing a tobacco product to other commercially marketed 
     tobacco products shall compare the tobacco product to the 
     known risk of cigarettes.
       (i) Postmarket Surveillance and Studies.--Under the 
     guidance of the Scientific Advisory Committee, the Tobacco 
     Harm Reduction Center shall engage in postmarket surveillance 
     studies and other research as needed to ascertain the health 
     impact of each of the major classes of tobacco and other 
     nicotine containing products in the United States, ascertain 
     the possible presence of unusual levels of harm from specific 
     tobacco products, and determine the steps that should be 
     taken to further reduce illness, death and other social harms 
     from tobacco products.
       (j) Withdrawal of Authorization.--The Administrator, after 
     an opportunity for an informal hearing, shall withdraw an 
     order under subsection (g) if the Administrator determines 
     that--
       (1) the applicant, based on new information, can no longer 
     make the demonstrations required under subsection (g), or the 
     Administrator can no longer make the determinations required 
     under subsection (g);
       (2) the application failed to include material information 
     or included any untrue statement of material fact;
       (3) any explicit or implicit representation that the 
     product reduces risk or exposure is no longer valid, 
     including if--
       (A) a tobacco product standard is established pursuant to 
     section 111;
       (B) an action is taken that affects the risks presented by 
     other commercially marketed tobacco products that were 
     compared to the product that is the subject of the 
     application; or
       (C) any postmarket surveillance or studies reveal that the 
     order is no longer consistent with the protection of the 
     public health;
       (4) the applicant failed to conduct or submit the 
     postmarket surveillance and studies required under subsection 
     (g)(2)(C)(ii) or subsection (i); or
       (5) the applicant failed to meet a condition imposed under 
     subsection (h).
       (k) Chapter IV or V.--A product for which the Administrator 
     has issued an order pursuant to subsection (g) shall not be 
     subject to chapter IV or V of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
     Cosmetic Act.
       (l) Implementing Regulations or Guidance.--
       (1) Scientific evidence.--Not later than 2 years after the 
     date of enactment of the Act, the Administrator shall issue 
     regulations or guidance (or any combination thereof) on the 
     scientific evidence required for assessment and ongoing 
     review of reduced risk tobacco products. Such regulations or 
     guidance shall--
       (A) to the extent that adequate scientific evidence exists, 
     establish minimum standards for scientific studies needed 
     prior to issuing an order under subsection (g) to show a 
     reasonable likelihood that a substantial reduction in 
     morbidity or mortality among individual tobacco users occurs 
     for products described in subsection (g)(1) or is reasonably 
     likely for products described in subsection (g)(2);
       (B) include validated biomarkers, intermediate clinical 
     endpoints, and other feasible outcome measures, as 
     appropriate;
       (C) establish minimum standards for postmarket studies, 
     that shall include regular and long-term assessments of 
     health outcomes and mortality, intermediate clinical 
     endpoints, consumer perception of harm reduction, and the 
     impact on quitting behavior and new use of tobacco products, 
     as appropriate;
       (D) establish minimum standards for required postmarket 
     surveillance, including ongoing assessments of consumer 
     perception; and
       (E) establish a reasonable timetable for the Administrator 
     to review an application under this section.
       (2) Consultation.--The regulations or guidance issued under 
     paragraph (1) may be developed in consultation with the 
     Institute of Medicine, and with the input of other 
     appropriate scientific and medical experts, on the design and 
     conduct of such studies and surveillance.
       (3) Revision.--The regulations or guidance under paragraph

     information becomes available.
       (4) New tobacco products.--Not later than 2 years after the 
     date of enactment of the Act, the Administrator shall issue a 
     regulation or guidance that permits the filing of a single 
     application for any tobacco product that is a new tobacco 
     product under section 114 and which the applicant seeks to 
     commercially market under this section.

     that meet the requirements of subsection (b).
       (b) Contents of Rules.--The regulations promulgated under 
     subsection (a)--
       (1) shall require annual testing and reporting of tobacco 
     product constituents, ingredients, and additives, including 
     smoke constituents, by brand style that the Administrator 
     determines should be tested to protect the public health, 
     provided that, for purposes of the testing requirements of 
     this paragraph, tobacco products manufactured and sold by a 
     single tobacco product manufacturer that are identical in all 
     respects except the labels, packaging design, logo, trade 
     dress, trademark, brand name, or any combination thereof, 
     shall be considered as a single brand style; and
       (2) may require that tobacco product manufacturers, 
     packagers, or importers make disclosures relating to the 
     results of the testing of tar and nicotine through labels or 
     advertising.
       (c) Authority.--The Administrator shall have the authority 
     under this Act to conduct or to require the testing, 
     reporting, or disclosure of tobacco product constituents, 
     including smoke constituents.
       (d) Joint Laboratory Testing Services.--The Administrator 
     shall allow any 2 or more tobacco product manufacturers to 
     join together to purchase laboratory testing services 
     required by this section on a group basis in order to ensure 
     that such manufacturers receive access to, and fair pricing 
     of, such testing services.
       (e) Extensions for Limited Laboratory Capacity.--
       (1) In general.--The regulations promulgated under 
     subsection (a) shall provide that a tobacco product 
     manufacturer shall not be considered to be in violation of 
     this section before the applicable deadline, if--
       (A) the tobacco products of such manufacturer are in 
     compliance with all other requirements of this Act; and
       (B) the conditions described in paragraph (2) are met.
       (2) Conditions.--Notwithstanding the requirements of this 
     section, the Administrator may delay the date by which a 
     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 tobacco product manufacturer provides evidence to 
     the Administrator demonstrating that--
       (A) the manufacturer has submitted the required products 
     for testing to a laboratory and has done so sufficiently in 
     advance of the deadline to create a reasonable expectation of 
     completion by the deadline;
       (B) the products currently are awaiting testing by the 
     laboratory; and
       (C) neither that laboratory nor any other laboratory is 
     able to complete testing by the deadline at customary, 
     nonexpedited testing fees.
       (3) Extension.--The Administrator, taking into account the 
     laboratory testing capacity that is available to tobacco 
     product manufacturers, shall review and verify the evidence 
     submitted by a tobacco product manufacturer in accordance 
     with paragraph (2). If the Administrator finds that the 
     conditions described in such paragraph are met, the 
     Administrator shall notify the 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 Administrator has not made a finding before 
     the reporting deadline, the manufacturer shall not be 
     considered to be in violation of such requirements until the 
     Administrator finds that the conditions described in 
     paragraph (2) have not been met, or until 1 year after the 
     reporting deadline, whichever occurs sooner.
       (4) Additional extension.--In addition to the time that may 
     be provided under paragraph (3), the Administrator may 
     provide further extensions of time, in increments of no more 
     than 1 year, for required testing and reporting to occur if 
     the Administrator determines, based on evidence properly and 
     timely submitted by a 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 other than this section.

     SEC. 118. PRESERVATION OF STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITY.

       (a) In General.--
       (1) Preservation.--Except as provided in paragraph (2)(A), 
     nothing in this Act, or rules promulgated under this Act,

     (including the Armed Forces), a State or political 
     subdivision of a State, or the government of an Indian tribe 
     to enact, adopt, promulgate, and enforce any law, rule, 
     regulation, or other measure with respect to tobacco products 
     that is in addition to requirements established under this 
     Act, including a law, rule, regulation, or other measure 
     relating to or prohibiting the sale, distribution, 
     possession, or use of tobacco products by individuals of any 
     age, information reporting to the State. No provision of this

     in addition to, any requirement under the provisions of this 
     Act relating to tobacco product standards, premarket review, 
     adulteration, misbranding, labeling, registration, good 
     manufacturing standards, or reduced risk tobacco products.
       (B) Exception.--Subparagraph (A) does not apply to 
     requirements relating to the sale, distribution, possession, 
     information reporting to the State, use of, tobacco product 
     by individuals of any age. Information disclosed to a State 
     under subparagraph (A) that is exempt from disclosure under 
     section 552(b)(4) of title 5, United States Code, shall be 
     treated as a trade secret and confidential information by the 
     State.
       (b) Rule of Construction Regarding Product Liability.--No 
     provision of this Act relating to a tobacco product shall be 
     construed to modify or otherwise affect any action or the 
     liability of any person under the product liability law of 
     any State.

     Tobacco Act of 2007, as to each Indian tribe in the United 
     States, the Administrator shall make the findings

     SEC. 403. ESTABLISHMENT OF RANKINGS.

       (a) Standards and Procedures for Rankings.--Within 24 
     months after the effective date of this Act, the 
     Administrator shall, by regulation, after consultation with 
     an Advisory Committee established for such purpose, establish 
     the standards and procedures for promulgating rankings, 
     comprehensible to consumers of tobacco products, of the 
     following categories of tobacco products and also nicotine-
     containing products on the basis of the relative risks of 
     serious or chronic tobacco-related diseases and adverse 
     health conditions those categories of tobacco products and 
     also nicotine-containing products respectively present--
       (1) smoking articles, including--
       (A) cigarettes;
       (B) cigars;
       (C) little cigars;
       (D) loose tobacco for roll-your own tobacco products;
       (E) loose tobacco for pipes, hookas, and other pipe-like 
     devices; and
       (F) other smoking articles;
       (2) smokeless products, including--
       (A) chewing tobacco;
       (B) dry snuff;
       (C) snus (a type of moist snuff);
       (D) other forms of moist snuff; and
       (E) dissolvable tobacco products (such as sticks, orbs, or 
     lozenges); and
       (3) nicotine containing non-tobacco or tobacco extract 
     products, including--
       (A) nicotine gum;
       (B) nicotine patches;
       (C) electronic cigarettes; and
       (D) other forms of such products.
     The Administrator shall not have authority or discretion to 
     establish a relative-risk ranking of any category or 
     subcategory of tobacco products or any category or 
     subcategory of nicotine-containing products other than the 
     ten categories specified in this subsection.
       (b) Considerations in Promulgating Regulations.--In 
     promulgating regulations under this section, the 
     Administrator--
       (1) shall take into account relevant epidemiologic studies 
     and other relevant competent and reliable scientific 
     evidence; and
       (2) in assessing the risks of serious or chronic tobacco-
     related diseases and adverse health conditions presented by a 
     particular category, shall consider the range of tobacco 
     products or nicotine-containing products within the category, 
     and shall give appropriate weight to the market shares of the 
     respective products in the category.
       (c) Promulgation of Rankings of Categories.--Once the 
     initial regulations required by subsection (a) are in effect, 
     the Administrator shall promptly, by order, after notice and 
     an opportunity for comment, promulgate to the general public 
     rankings of the categories of tobacco products and nicotine-
     containing products in accordance with those regulations. The 
     Administrator shall promulgate the initial rankings of those 
     categories of tobacco products and nicotine-containing 
     products to the general public not later than January 1, 
     2010. Thereafter, on an annual basis, the Administrator 
     shall, by order, promulgate to the general public updated 
     rankings that are (1) in accordance with those regulations, 
     and (2) reflect the scientific evidence available at the time 
     of promulgation. The Administrator shall open and maintain an 
     ongoing public docket for receipt of data and other 
     information submitted by any person with respect to such 
     annual promulgation of rankings.

     SEC. 504. SEIZURE.

       (a) Articles Subject to Seizure.--
       (1) Any tobacco product that is adulterated or misbranded 
     when introduced into or while in interstate commerce or while 
     held for sale (whether or not the first sale) after shipment 
     in interstate commerce, or which may not, under the 
     provisions of this Act, be introduced into interstate 
     commerce, shall be liable to be proceeded against while in 
     interstate commerce, or at any time thereafter, on libel of 
     information and condemned in any district court of the United 
     States within the jurisdiction of which the tobacco product 
     is found. No libel for condemnation shall be instituted under 
     this Act for any alleged misbranding if there is pending in 
     any court a libel for condemnation proceeding under this Act 
     based upon the same alleged misbranding, and not more than 
     one such proceeding shall be instituted if no such proceeding 
     is so pending, except that such limitations shall not apply--
       (A) when such misbranding has been the basis of a prior 
     judgment in favor of the United States, in a criminal, 
     injunction, or libel for condemnation proceeding under this 
     Act, or
       (B) when the Administrator has probable cause to believe 
     from facts found, without hearing, by the Administrator or 
     any officer or employee of the Agency that the misbranded 
     tobacco product is dangerous to health beyond the inherent 
     danger to health posed by tobacco, or that the labeling of 
     the misbranded tobacco product is fraudulent, or would be in 
     a material respect misleading to the injury or damage of the 
     purchaser or consumer. In any case where the number of libel 
     for condemnation proceedings is limited as above provided, 
     the proceeding pending or instituted shall, on application of 
     the claimant, seasonably made, be removed for trial to any 
     district agreed upon by stipulation between the parties, or, 
     in case of failure to so stipulate within a reasonable time, 
     the claimant may apply to the court of the district in which 
     the seizure has been made, and such court (after giving the 
     United States attorney for such district reasonable notice 
     and opportunity to be heard) shall by order, unless good 
     cause to the contrary is shown, specify a district of 
     reasonable proximity to the claimant's principal place of 
     business, to which the case shall be removed for trial.
       (2) The following shall be liable to be proceeded against 
     at any time on libel of information and condemned in any 
     district court of the United States within the jurisdiction 
     of which they are found--
       (A) any tobacco product that is an illicit tobacco product;
       (B) any container of an illicit tobacco product;
       (C) any equipment or thing used in making an illicit 
     tobacco product; and
       (D) any adulterated or misbranded tobacco product.
       (3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), no libel for 
     condemnation may be instituted under paragraph (1) or (2) 
     against any tobacco product which--
       (i) is misbranded under this Act because of its 
     advertising, and
       (ii) is being held for sale to the ultimate consumer in an 
     establishment other than an establishment owned or operated 
     by a manufacturer, packer, or distributor of the tobacco 
     product.
       (B) A libel for condemnation may be instituted under 
     paragraph (1) or (2) against a tobacco product described in 
     subparagraph (A) if the tobacco product's advertising which 
     resulted in the tobacco product being misbranded was 
     disseminated in the establishment in which the tobacco 
     product is being held for sale to the ultimate consumer--
       (i) such advertising was disseminated by, or under the 
     direction of, the owner or operator of such establishment, or
       (ii) all or part of the cost of such advertising was paid 
     by such owner or operator.
       (b) Procedures.--The tobacco product, equipment, or other 
     thing proceeded against shall be liable to seizure by process 
     pursuant to the libel, and the procedure in cases under this 
     section shall conform, as nearly as may be, to the procedure 
     in admiralty; except that on demand of either party any issue 
     of fact joined in any such case shall be tried by jury. When 
     libel for condemnation proceedings under this section, 
     involving the same claimant and the same issues of 
     adulteration or misbranding, are pending in two or more 
     jurisdictions, such pending proceedings, upon application of 
     the claimant seasonably made to the court of one such 
     jurisdiction, shall be consolidated for trial by order of 
     such court, and tried in (1) any district selected by the 
     claimant where one of such proceedings is pending; or (2) a 
     district agreed upon by stipulation between the parties. If 
     no order for consolidation is so made within a reasonable 
     time, the claimant may apply to the court of one such 
     jurisdiction and such court (after giving the United States 
     attorney for such district reasonable notice and opportunity 
     to be heard) shall by order, unless good cause to the 
     contrary is shown, specify a district of reasonable proximity 
     to the claimant's principal place of business, in which all 
     such pending proceedings shall be consolidated for trial and 
     tried. Such order of consolidation shall not apply so as to 
     require the removal of any case the date for trial of which 
     has been fixed. The court granting such order shall give 
     prompt notification thereof to the other courts having 
     jurisdiction of the cases covered thereby.
       (c) Samples and Analyses.--The court at any time after 
     seizure up to a reasonable time before trial shall by order 
     allow any party to a condemnation proceeding, the party's 
     attorney or agent, to obtain a representative sample of the 
     article seized and a true copy of the analysis, if any, on 
     which the proceeding is based and the identifying marks or 
     numbers, if any, of the packages from which the samples 
     analyzed were obtained.
       (d) Disposition of Condemned Tobacco Products.--(1) Any 
     tobacco product condemned under this section shall, after 
     entry of the decree, be disposed of by destruction or sale as 
     the court may, in accordance with the provisions of this 
     section, direct; and the proceeds thereof, if sold, less the 
     legal costs and charges, shall be paid into the Treasury of 
     the United States; but such tobacco product shall not be sold 
     under such decree contrary to the provisions of this Act or 
     the laws of the jurisdiction in which sold. After entry of 
     the decree and upon the payment of the costs of such 
     proceedings and the execution of a good and sufficient bond 
     conditioned that such article shall not be sold or disposed 
     of contrary to the provisions of this Act or the laws of any 
     State in which sold, the court may by order direct that such 
     tobacco product be delivered to the owner thereof to be 
     destroyed or brought into compliance with the provisions of 
     this Act, under the supervision of an officer or employee 
     duly designated by the Administrator; and the expenses of 
     such supervision shall be paid by the person obtaining 
     release of the tobacco product under bond. If the tobacco 
     product was imported into the United States and the person 
     seeking its release establishes (A) that the adulteration, 
     misbranding, or violation did not occur after the tobacco 
     product was imported, and (B) that the person seeking the 
     release of the tobacco product had no cause for believing 
     that it was adulterated, misbranded, or in violation before 
     it was released from customs custody, the court may permit 
     the tobacco product to be delivered to the owner for 
     exportation under section 709 in lieu of destruction upon a 
     showing by the owner that there is a reasonable certainty 
     that the tobacco product will not be re-imported into the 
     United States.
       (2) The provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection 
     shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the court, apply 
     to any equipment or other thing which is not otherwise within 
     the scope of such paragraph and which is referred to in 
     paragraph (2) of subsection (a).
       (3) Whenever in any proceeding under this section, 
     involving paragraph (2) of subsection (a), the condemnation 
     of any equipment or thing (other than a tobacco product) is 
     decreed, the court shall allow the claim of any claimant, to 
     the extent of such claimant's interest, for remission or 
     mitigation of such forfeiture if such claimant proves to the 
     satisfaction of the court (A) that such claimant has not 
     caused the equipment or thing to be within one of the 
     categories referred to in such paragraph (2) and has no 
     interest in any tobacco product referred to therein, (B) that 
     such claimant has an interest in such equipment or other 
     thing as owner or lienor or otherwise, acquired by such 
     claimant in good faith, and (C) that such claimant at no time 
     had any knowledge or reason to believe that such equipment or 
     other thing was being or would be used in, or to facilitate, 
     the violation of laws of the United States relating to any 
     illicit tobacco product.
       (e) Costs and Fees.--When a decree of condemnation is 
     entered against the tobacco product or other article, court 
     costs and fees, and storage and other proper expenses shall

[[Page S6098]]

     be awarded against the person, if any, intervening as 
     claimant of the tobacco product or other article.
       (f) Removal for Trial.--In the case of removal for trial of 
     any case as provided by subsection (a) or (b)--
       (1) The clerk of the court from which removal is made shall 
     promptly transmit to the court in which the case is to be 
     tried all records in the case necessary in order that such 
     court may exercise jurisdiction.
       (2) The court to which such case was removed shall have the 
     powers and be subject to the duties, for purposes of such 
     case, which the court from which removal was made would have 
     had, or to which such court would have been subject, if such 
     case had not been removed.
       (g) Administrative Detention of Tobacco Products.--
       (1) Detention authority.--
       (A) In general.--An officer or qualified employee of the 
     Agency may order the detention, in accordance with this 
     subsection, of any tobacco product that is found during an 
     inspection, examination, or investigation under this Act 
     conducted by such officer or qualified employee, if the 
     officer or qualified employee has credible evidence or 
     information indicating that such article presents a threat of 
     serious adverse health consequences beyond those normally 
     inherent in the use of tobacco products.
       (B) Administrator's approval.--A tobacco product or 
     component thereof may be ordered detained under subparagraph 
     (A) if, but only if, the Administrator or an official 
     designated by the Administrator approves the order. An 
     official may not be so designated unless the official is an 
     officer with supervisory responsibility for the inspection, 
     examination, or investigation that led to the order.
       (2) Period of detention.--A tobacco product may be detained 
     under paragraph (1) for a reasonable period, not to exceed 20 
     days, unless a greater period, not to exceed 30 days, is 
     necessary, to institute an action under subsection (a) or 
     section 702.
       (3) Security of detained tobacco product.--An order under 
     paragraph (1) may require that the tobacco product to be 
     detained be labeled or marked as detained, and shall require 
     that the tobacco product be maintained in or removed to a 
     secure facility, as appropriate. A tobacco product subject to 
     such an order shall not be transferred by any person from the 
     place at which the tobacco product is ordered detained, or 
     from the place to which the tobacco product is so removed, as 
     the case may be, until released by the Administrator or until 
     the expiration of the detention period applicable under such 
     order, whichever occurs first. This subsection may not be 
     construed as authorizing the delivery of the tobacco product 
     pursuant to the execution of a bond while the tobacco product 
     is subject to the order, and section 709 does not authorize 
     the delivery of the tobacco product pursuant to the execution 
     of a bond while the article is subject to the order.
       (4) Appeal of detention order.--
       (A) In general.--With respect to a tobacco product ordered 
     detained under paragraph (1), any person who would be 
     entitled to be a claimant of such tobacco product if the 
     tobacco product were seized under subsection (a) may appeal 
     the order to the Administrator. Within five days after such 
     an appeal is filed, the Administrator, after providing 
     opportunity for an informal hearing, shall confirm or 
     terminate the order involved, and such confirmation by the 
     Administrator shall be considered a final agency action for 
     purposes of section 702 of title 5, United States Code. If 
     during such five-day period the Administrator fails to 
     provide such an opportunity, or to confirm or terminate such 
     order, the order is deemed to be terminated.
       (B) Effect of instituting court action.--The process under 
     subparagraph (A) for the appeal of an order under paragraph 
     (1) terminates if the Administrator institutes an action 
     under subsection (a) or section 702 regarding the tobacco 
     product involved.

     SEC. 505. REPORT OF MINOR VIOLATIONS.

       Nothing in this Act shall be construed as requiring the 
     Administrator to report for prosecution, or for institution 
     of libel or injunction proceedings, minor violations of this 
     Act whenever the Administrator believes that the public 
     interest will be adequately served by a suitable written 
     notice or warning.

     SEC. 506. INSPECTION.

       (a) Authority To Inspect.--The Administrator shall have the 
     power to inspect the premises of a tobacco product 
     manufacturer for purposes of determining compliance with this 
     Act, or the regulations promulgated under it. Officers of the 
     Agency designated by the Administrator, upon presenting 
     appropriate credentials and a written notice to the person in 
     charge of the premises, are authorized to enter, at 
     reasonable times, without a search warrant, any factory, 
     warehouse, or other establishment in which tobacco products 
     are manufactured, processed, packaged, or held for domestic 
     distribution. Any such inspection shall be conducted within 
     reasonable limits and in a reasonable manner, and shall be 
     limited to examining only those things, including but not 
     limited to records, relevant to determining whether 
     violations of this Act, or regulations under it, have 
     occurred. No inspection authorized by this section shall 
     extend to financial data, sales data other than shipment 
     data, pricing data, personnel data (other than data as to 
     qualifications of technical and professional personnel 
     performing functions subject to this Act), or research data. 
     A separate notice shall be given for each such inspection, 
     but a notice shall not be required for each entry made during 
     the period covered by the inspection. Each such inspection 
     shall be commenced and completed with reasonable promptness.
       (b) Report of Observations.--Before leaving the premises, 
     the officer of the Agency who has supervised or conducted the 
     inspection shall give to the person in charge of the premises 
     a report in writing setting forth any conditions or practices 
     that appear to manifest a violation of this Act, or the 
     regulations under it.
       (c) Samples.--If the officer has obtained any sample in the 
     course of inspection, prior to leaving the premises that 
     officer shall give to the person in charge of the premises a 
     receipt describing the samples obtained. As to each sample 
     obtained, the officer shall furnish promptly to the person in 
     charge of the premises a copy of the sample and of any 
     analysis made upon the sample.

     SEC. 507. EFFECT OF COMPLIANCE.

       Compliance with the provisions of this Act and the 
     regulations promulgated under it shall constitute a complete 
     defense to any civil action, including but not limited to any 
     products liability action, that seeks to recover damages, 
     whether compensatory or punitive, based upon an alleged 
     defect in the labeling or advertising of any tobacco product 
     distributed for sale domestically.

     SEC. 508. IMPORTS.

       (a) Imports; List of Registered Foreign Establishments; 
     Samples From Unregistered Foreign Establishments; Examination 
     and Refusal of Admission.--The Secretary of Homeland Security 
     shall deliver to the Administrator, upon request by the 
     Administrator, samples of tobacco products that are being 
     imported or offered for import into the United States, giving 
     notice thereof to the owner or consignee, who may appear 
     before the Administrator and have the right to introduce 
     testimony. The Administrator shall furnish to the Secretary 
     of Homeland Security a list of establishments registered 
     pursuant to subsection (d) of section 109 of this Act, and 
     shall request that, if any tobacco products manufactured, 
     prepared, or processed in an establishment not so registered 
     are imported or offered for import into the United States, 
     samples of such tobacco products be delivered to the 
     Administrator, with notice of such delivery to the owner or 
     consignee, who may appear before the Administrator and have 
     the right to introduce testimony. If it appears from the 
     examination of such samples or otherwise that (1) such 
     tobacco product is forbidden or restricted in sale in the 
     country in which it was produced or from which it was 
     exported, or (2) such tobacco product is adulterated, 
     misbranded, or otherwise in violation of this Act, then such 
     tobacco product shall be refused admission, except as 
     provided in subsection (b) of this section. The Secretary of 
     Homeland Security shall cause the destruction of any such 
     tobacco product refused admission unless such tobacco product 
     is exported, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of 
     Homeland Security, within ninety days of the date of notice 
     of such refusal or within such additional time as may be 
     permitted pursuant to such regulations.
       (b) Disposition of Refused Tobacco Products.--Pending 
     decision as to the admission of a tobacco product being 
     imported or offered for import, the Secretary of Homeland 
     Security may authorize delivery of such tobacco product to 
     the owner or consignee upon the execution by such consignee 
     of a good and sufficient bond providing for the payment of 
     such liquidated damages in the event of default as may be 
     required pursuant to regulations of the Secretary of Homeland 
     Security. If it appears to the Administrator that a tobacco 
     product included within the provisions of clause (3) of 
     subsection (a) of this section can, by relabeling or other 
     action, be brought into compliance with this Act or rendered 
     other than a tobacco product, final determination as to 
     admission of such tobacco product may be deferred and, upon 
     filing of timely written application by the owner or 
     consignee and the execution by such consignee of a bond as 
     provided in the preceding provisions of this subsection, the 
     Administrator may, in accordance with regulations, authorize 
     the applicant to perform such relabeling or other action 
     specified in such authorization (including destruction or 
     export of rejected tobacco products or portions thereof, as 
     may be specified in the Administrator's authorization). All 
     such relabeling or other action pursuant to such 
     authorization shall in accordance with regulations be under 
     the supervision of an officer or employee of the Agency 
     designated by the Administrator, or an officer or employee of 
     the Department of Homeland Security designated by the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security.
       (c) Charges Concerning Refused Tobacco Products.--All 
     expenses (including travel, per diem or subsistence, and 
     salaries of officers or employees of the United States) in 
     connection with the destruction provided for in subsection 
     (a) of this section and the supervision of the relabeling or 
     other action authorized under the provisions of subsection 
     (b) of this section, the amount of such expenses to be 
     determined in accordance with regulations, and all expenses 
     in connection with the storage, cartage, or labor with 
     respect to any tobacco product refused admission under 
     subsection (a) of this section, shall be paid by the owner or 
     consignee and, in default of such payment, shall

[[Page S6099]]

     constitute a lien against any future importations made by 
     such owner or consignee.

     SEC. 509. TOBACCO PRODUCTS FOR EXPORT.

       (a) Exemption for Tobacco Products Exported.--Except as 
     provided in subsection (b), a tobacco product intended for 
     export shall be exempt from this Act if--
       (1) it is not in conflict with the laws of the country to 
     which it is intended fore export, as shown by either (A) a 
     document issued by the government of that country or (B) a 
     document provided by a person knowledgeable with respect to

     export have not been sold or offered for sale in domestic 
     commerce.
       (b) Products for U.S. Armed Forces Overseas.--A tobacco 
     product intended for export shall not be exempt from this Act 
     if it is intended for sale or distribution to members or 
     units of the Armed Forces of the United States located 
     outside of the United States.
       (c) This Act shall not apply to a person that manufactures 
     and/or distributes tobacco products solely for export under 
     subsection (a), except to the extent such tobacco products 
     are subject to subsection (b).

                          TITLE IX--USER FEES

     SEC. 901. USER FEES.

       (a) Assessment of User Fees.--The Administrator shall 
     assess an annual user fee for each fiscal year beginning in 
     fiscal year 2010, in an amount calculated in accordance with 
     this section, upon each tobacco product manufacturer 
     (including each importer) that is subject to this Act.
       (b) Use of Fee.--The Administrator shall utilize an amount 
     equal to the amount of user fees collected under this section 
     in each fiscal year to pay for the costs of the activities of 
     the Tobacco Regulatory Agency related to the regulation of 
     tobacco products under this Act.
       (c) Amount of Fee.--
       (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the 
     total amount of user fees assessed for each fiscal year 
     pursuant to this section shall be sufficient, and shall not 
     exceed the amount necessary, to pay for the costs of the 
     activities described in subsection (b) for that fiscal year.
       (2) Total.--The total assessment under this section--
       (A) for fiscal years 2010, 2011, and 2012 shall be 
     $100,000,000; and
       (B) for each subsequent fiscal year, shall not exceed the 
     limit on the assessment imposed during the previous fiscal 
     year, as adjusted by the Administrator (after notice, 
     published in the Federal Register) to be determined on the 
     basis of both inflationary increases and guidance from the 
     Scientific Advisory Committee--
       (3) Notification.--The Administrator shall notify each 
     tobacco product manufacturer subject to this section of the 
     amount of the annual assessment imposed on such tobacco 
     product manufacturer under subsection (d). Such notifications 
     shall occur not later than the July 31 prior to the beginning 
     of the fiscal year for which such assessment is made, and 
     payments of all assessments shall be made not later than 60 
     days after each such notification. Such notification shall 
     contain a complete list of the assessments imposed on tobacco 
     product manufacturers for that fiscal year.
       (d) Liability of Tobacco Product Manufacturers for User 
     Fees.--
       (1) In general.--The user fee to be paid by each tobacco 
     product manufacturer shall be determined in each fiscal year 
     by multiplying--
       (A) such tobacco product manufacturer's market share of 
     tobacco products, as determined under regulations issued 
     pursuant to subsection (e); by
       (B) the total user fee assessment for such fiscal year, as 
     determined under subsection (c).
       (2) Limitation.--Except as provided in paragraph (3), no 
     tobacco product manufacturer shall be required to pay a 
     percentage of a total annual user fee for all tobacco product 
     manufacturers that exceeds the market share of such 
     manufacturer.

[[Page S6101]]

       (3) Failure to pay.--If--
       (A) a tobacco product manufacturer fails to pay its user 
     fee share in full by the due date;
       (B) the Administrator, after diligent inquiry, concludes 
     that such manufacturer is unlikely to pay its user fee share 
     in full by the time such payment will be needed by the 
     Administrator; and
       (C) the Administrator and the Department of Justice make 
     diligent efforts to obtain payment in full from such tobacco 
     product manufacturer;
     the Administrator may re-allocate the unpaid amount owed by 
     that tobacco product manufacturer to the other tobacco 
     product manufacturers on the basis of their respective market 
     shares. If the Administrator takes such action, the 
     Administrator shall set a reasonable time, not less than 60 
     days from the date of the notice of the amount due, for 
     payment of that amount. If and to the extent that the 
     Administrator ultimately receives from that tobacco product 
     manufacturer or any successor to such tobacco product 
     manufacturer any payment in respect of the previously unpaid 
     obligation, the Administrator shall credit such payment to 
     the tobacco product manufacturers that paid portions of the 
     re-allocated amount, in proportion to their respective 
     payments of such amount.
       (e) Regulations.--Not later than 12 months after the date 
     of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall, by 
     regulation, establish a system for determining the market 
     shares of tobacco products for each tobacco product 
     manufacturer subject to this section. In promulgating 
     regulations under this subsection, the Administrator shall--
       (1) take into account the differences between categories 
     and subcategories of tobacco products in terms of sales, 
     manner of unit packaging, and any other factors relevant to 
     the calculation of market share for a tobacco product 
     manufacturer;
       (2) take into account that different tobacco product 
     manufacturers rely to varying degrees on the sales of 
     different categories and subcategories of tobacco products; 
     and
       (3) provide that the market share of tobacco products for 
     each tobacco product manufacturer shall be recalculated on an 
     annual basis.
                                 ______

     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.

[[Page S6102]]

       (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 division.
       (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).

     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

       ``(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.
       ``(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 Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory 
     Committee a reasonable time to make its recommendation with 
     respect to proposed regulations under subparagraph (A);
       ``(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; and
       ``(v) not require any small tobacco product manufacturer to 
     comply with a regulation under subparagraph (A) for at least 
     4 years following the effective date established by the 
     Secretary for such regulation.
       ``(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, facilities, and controls 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 end of the 3-year 
     period following the date of enactment of the Family Smoking 
     Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.

     ``SEC. 907. TOBACCO PRODUCT STANDARDS.

       ``(a) In General.--
       ``(1) Special rules.--
       ``(A) Special rule for cigarettes.--Beginning 3 months 
     after the date of enactment of the Family Smoking Prevention 
     and Tobacco Control Act, 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 subparagraph.

[[Page S6108]]

       ``(B) Additional special rule.--Beginning 2 years after the 
     date of enactment of the Family Smoking Prevention and 
     Tobacco Control Act, a tobacco product manufacturer shall not 
     use tobacco, including foreign grown tobacco, that contains a 
     pesticide chemical residue that is at a level greater than is 
     specified by any tolerance applicable under Federal law to 
     domestically grown tobacco.
       ``(2) Revision of tobacco product standards.--The Secretary 
     may revise the tobacco product standards in paragraph (1) in 
     accordance with subsection (c).
       ``(3) Tobacco product standards.--
       ``(A) In general.--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.
       ``(B) Determinations.--
       ``(i) Considerations.--In making a finding described in 
     subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall consider scientific 
     evidence concerning--

       ``(I) the risks and benefits to the population as a whole, 
     including users and nonusers of tobacco products, of the 
     proposed standard;
       ``(II) the increased or decreased likelihood that existing 
     users of tobacco products will stop using such products; and
       ``(III) the increased or decreased likelihood that those 
     who do not use tobacco products will start using such 
     products.

       ``(ii) Additional considerations.--In the event that the 
     Secretary makes a determination, set forth in a proposed 
     tobacco product standard in a proposed rule, that it is 
     appropriate for the protection of public health to require 
     the reduction or elimination of an additive, constituent 
     (including a smoke 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 the proposed standard on the 
     ground that the 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.
       ``(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 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 
     subparagraph (B);
       ``(B) shall, where appropriate for the protection of the 
     public health, include--
       ``(i) provisions respecting the construction, components, 
     ingredients, additives, constituents, including smoke 
     constituents, and properties of the tobacco product;
       ``(ii) provisions for the testing (on a sample basis or, if 
     necessary, on an individual basis) of the tobacco product;
       ``(iii) provisions for the measurement of the tobacco 
     product characteristics of the tobacco product;
       ``(iv) provisions requiring that the results of each or of 
     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 
     restricted under a regulation under section 906(d);
       ``(C) shall, where appropriate, require the use and 
     prescribe the form and content of labeling for the proper use 
     of the tobacco product; and
       ``(D) shall require tobacco products containing foreign-
     grown tobacco to meet the same standards applicable to 
     tobacco products containing domestically grown tobacco.
       ``(5) Periodic reevaluation 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--
       ``(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) Considerations by Secretary.--
       ``(1) Technical achievability.--The Secretary shall 
     consider information submitted in connection with a proposed 
     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;
       ``(B) invite interested persons to submit a draft 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--
       ``(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
       ``(B) requiring the reduction of nicotine yields of a 
     tobacco product to zero,
     the Secretary is prohibited from taking such actions under 
     this 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

[[Page S6109]]

     determines that making it so effective is in the public 
     interest.
       ``(5) Referral to advisory committee.--
       ``(A) In general.--The Secretary may refer a proposed 
     regulation for the establishment, amendment, or revocation of 
     a tobacco product standard 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.
       ``(B) Initiation of referral.--The Secretary may make a 
     referral under this paragraph--
       ``(i) on the Secretary's own initiative; or
       ``(ii) upon the request of an interested person that--

       ``(I) demonstrates good cause for the referral; and
       ``(II) is made before the expiration of the period for 
     submission of comments on the proposed regulation.

       ``(C) Provision of data.--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.
       ``(D) Report and recommendation.--The Tobacco Products 
     Scientific Advisory Committee shall, within 60 days after the 
     referral of a proposed regulation under this paragraph 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.
       ``(E) Public availability.--The Secretary shall make a copy 
     of each report and recommendation under subparagraph (D) 
     publicly available.

     establishment of the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory 
     Committee under section 917(a), the Secretary shall refer to 
     the Committee for report and recommendation, under section 
     917(c)(4), the issue of the impact of the use of menthol in 
     cigarettes on the public health, including such use among 
     children, African-Americans, Hispanics, and other racial and 
     ethnic minorities. In its review, the Tobacco Products 
     Scientific Advisory Committee shall address the 
     considerations listed in subsections (a)(3)(B)(i) and (b).
       ``(2) Report and recommendation.--Not later than 1 year 
     after its establishment, the Tobacco Product Scientific 
     Advisory Committee shall submit to the Secretary the report 
     and recommendations required pursuant to paragraph (1).
       ``(3) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this subsection 
     shall be construed to limit the Secretary's authority to take 
     action under this section or other sections of this Act 
     applicable to menthol.
       ``(f) Dissolvable Tobacco Products.--
       ``(1) Referral; considerations.--The Secretary shall refer 
     to the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee for 
     report and recommendation, under section 917(c)(4), the issue 
     of the nature and impact of the use of dissolvable tobacco 
     products on the public health, including such use among 
     children. In its review, the Tobacco Products Scientific 
     Advisory Committee shall address the considerations listed in 
     subsection (a)(3)(B)(i).
       ``(2) Report and recommendation.--Not later than 2 years 
     after its establishment, the Tobacco Product Scientific

     any time applicable to any dissolvable tobacco product.

     ``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

     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).

     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, as the Secretary 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;

     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;

     to the Secretary, shall state the reason or purpose for the 
     submission of such report or information and identify to the

     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, 
     reports, and information concerning any individual who has 
     been a patient, irrespective of whether or when he ceases to

     promptly to the Secretary any corrective action taken or 
     removal from the market of a

     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

     markets) that was not commercially marketed in the United 
     States as of February 15, 2007; 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 February 15, 2007.
       ``(2) Premarket review required.--
       ``(A) New products.--An order under subsection (c)(1)(A)(i) 
     for a new tobacco product is required unless--
       ``(i) the manufacturer has submitted a report under section 
     905(j); and 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 February 15, 2007; and
       ``(II) is in compliance with the requirements of this Act; 
     or

       ``(ii) the tobacco product is exempt from the requirements 
     of section 905(j) pursuant to a regulation issued under

     introduction into interstate commerce for commercial 
     distribution in the United States after February 15, 2007,

     product if 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 
     term `substantially equivalent' or `substantial equivalence' 
     means, 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.

       ``(1) Contents.--An application under this section shall 
     contain--

     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;

     additives, and properties, and of the principle or principles 
     of operation, 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;

     components thereof as the Secretary may reasonably require;

     of the application as the Secretary may require.

     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 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 subsection (b)(2), shall--
       ``(i) issue an order that the new product may be introduced 
     or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce if the 
     Secretary finds that none of the grounds specified in 
     paragraph (2) of this subsection applies; or
       ``(ii) issue an order that the new product may not be 
     introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate 
     commerce 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 
     under subparagraph (A)(i) may require 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).
       ``(2) Denial of application.--The Secretary shall deny an 
     application submitted under subsection (b) 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;

     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, 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 remove such application from deniable 
     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 the marketing of a tobacco product for 
     which an application has been submitted 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

[[Page S6111]]

     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 the 
     Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee, and after due 
     notice and opportunity for informal hearing for a tobacco 
     product for which an order was issued under subsection 
     (c)(1)(A)(i), issue an order withdrawing the order 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;

     verification of, such records as required by section 704; or

     with respect to such tobacco product, evaluated together with 
     the evidence before the Secretary when the application was 
     reviewed, 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 reviewed, 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

     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 the issuance of an order 
     relating to the application, and that there is a lack of 
     adequate information to justify the deviation from such 
     standard.

     receives notice of such withdrawal, obtain review thereof in 
     accordance with section 912.
       ``(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 order 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 
     authority of the manufacturer to market the product. If the

     (c)(1)(A)(i) for 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 order.
       ``(2) Access to records.--Each person required under this 
     section to maintain records, and each person in charge of 
     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.

     Investigational Use.--The Secretary may exempt tobacco 
     products intended for investigational use from the provisions

       ``(1) Modified risk products.--Except as provided in 
     paragraph (2), the Secretary shall, with respect to an 
     application submitted under this section, issue an order that 
     a modified risk product may be commercially marketed 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 issue an order that a 
     tobacco product may be introduced or delivered for 
     introduction into interstate commerce, pursuant to an 
     application under this section, with respect to a tobacco 
     product that may not be commercially marketed under paragraph 
     (1) if the Secretary makes the findings required under this 
     paragraph and determines that the applicant has demonstrated 
     that--
       ``(i) such order 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) is limited 
     to an explicit or implicit representation that such tobacco 
     product or its smoke does not contain 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);

       ``(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 reasonably likely 
     in subsequent studies.
       ``(B) Additional findings required.--To issue an order 
     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 reasonably 
     likely 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) issuance of an order with respect to 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.

     to the Secretary the results of such surveillance and studies 
     to determine the impact of the order on consumer perception, 
     behavior, and health and to enable the Secretary to review 
     the accuracy of the determinations upon which the order was 
     based in accordance with a protocol approved by the 
     Secretary.

     surveillance and studies described in clause (ii) shall be 
     submitted annually.

     users of tobacco products who would otherwise stop using such 
     products will switch to the tobacco product that is the

     who do not use tobacco products will start using the tobacco 
     product that is the subject of the application;

     tobacco product that is the subject of the application as 
     compared to the use of products for smoking cessation 
     approved under chapter V to treat nicotine dependence; and
       ``(E) comments, data, and information submitted by 
     interested persons.
       ``(h) Additional Conditions for Marketing.--
       ``(1) Modified risk products.--The Secretary shall require 
     for the marketing of a product under this section that any 
     advertising or labeling concerning modified risk products 
     enable the public to comprehend the information concerning 
     modified risk and to understand the relative significance of 
     such information in the context of total health and in 
     relation to all of the diseases and health-related conditions 
     associated with the use of tobacco products.
       ``(2) Comparative claims.--
       ``(A) In general.--The Secretary may require for the 
     marketing of a product under this subsection that a claim 
     comparing a tobacco product to 1 or more other commercially 
     marketed tobacco products shall compare the tobacco product 
     to a commercially marketed tobacco product that is 
     representative of that type of tobacco product on the market 
     (for example the average value of the top 3 brands of an 
     established regular tobacco product).
       ``(B) Quantitative comparisons.--The Secretary may also 
     require, for purposes of subparagraph (A), that the percent 
     (or fraction) of change and identity of the reference tobacco 
     product and a quantitative comparison of the amount of the 
     substance claimed to be reduced shall be stated in immediate 
     proximity to the most prominent claim.
       ``(3) Label disclosure.--
       ``(A) In general.--The Secretary may require the disclosure 
     on the label of other substances in the tobacco product, or 
     substances that may be produced by the consumption of that 
     tobacco product, that may affect a disease or health-related 
     condition or may increase the risk of other diseases or 
     health-related conditions associated with the use of tobacco 
     products.
       ``(B) Conditions of use.--If the conditions of use of the 
     tobacco product may affect the risk of the product to human 
     health, the Secretary may require the labeling of conditions 
     of use.

     be effective for a specified period of time.
       ``(5) Advertising.--The Secretary may require, with respect

     respect to a product for which an applicant obtained an order 
     under subsection (g)(1), that the applicant conduct 
     postmarket surveillance and studies for such a tobacco 
     product to determine the impact of the order issuance on 
     consumer perception, behavior, and health, to enable the 
     Secretary to review the accuracy of the determinations upon 
     which the order was based, and to provide information that 
     the Secretary determines is otherwise necessary regarding the 
     use or health risks involving the tobacco product. The 
     results of postmarket surveillance and studies shall be 
     submitted to the Secretary on an annual basis.

     for the approval of the Secretary, a protocol for the 
     required surveillance. The Secretary, within 60 days of the 
     receipt of such protocol, shall determine if the principal 
     investigator proposed to be used in the surveillance has 
     sufficient qualifications and experience to conduct such 
     surveillance and if such protocol will result in collection 
     of the data or other information designated by the Secretary

     opportunity for an informal hearing, shall withdraw an order

       ``(e) Extensions for Limited Laboratory Capacity.--
       ``(1) In general.--The regulations promulgated under 
     subsection (a) shall provide that a small tobacco product 
     manufacturer shall not be considered to be in violation of 
     this section before the deadline applicable under paragraphs 
     (3) and (4), if--
       ``(A) the tobacco products of such manufacturer are in 
     compliance with all other requirements of this chapter; and
       ``(B) the conditions described in paragraph (2) are met.
       ``(2) Conditions.--Notwithstanding the requirements of this 
     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 small tobacco product manufacturer provides 
     evidence to the Secretary demonstrating that--
       ``(A) the manufacturer has submitted the required products 
     for testing to a laboratory and has done so sufficiently in 
     advance of the deadline to create a reasonable expectation of 
     completion by the deadline;
       ``(B) the products currently are awaiting testing by the 
     laboratory; and
       ``(C) neither that laboratory nor any other 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.
       ``(4) Additional extension.--In addition to the time that 
     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.

     SEC. _05. SAVINGS PROVISION.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the application of this title to any employee should 
     not result in a decrease in the take home pay of that 
     employee;
       (2) in calendar year 2012 and each subsequent year, no 
     employee shall receive less than the Rest of the U.S. 
     locality pay rate;
       (3) concurrent with the surveys next conducted under the 
     provisions of section 5304(d)(1)(A) of title 5, United States 
     Code, beginning after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
     the Bureau of Labor Statistics should conduct separate 
     surveys to determine the extent of any pay disparity (as 
     defined by section 5302 of that title) that may exist with 
     respect to positions located in the State of Alaska, the 
     State of Hawaii, and the United States territories, including 
     American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
     Islands, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the United States 
     Virgin Islands;
       (4) if the surveys under paragraph (3) indicate that the 
     pay disparity determined for the State of Alaska, the State 
     of Hawaii, or any 1 of the United States territories 
     including American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern 
     Mariana Islands, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the United 
     States Virgin Islands exceeds the pay disparity determined 
     for the locality which (for purposes of section 5304 of that 
     title) is commonly known as the ``Rest of the United 
     States'', the President's Pay Agent should take appropriate 
     measures to provide that each such surveyed area be treated 
     as a separate pay locality for purposes of that section; and
       (5) the President's Pay Agent will establish 1 locality 
     area for the entire State of Hawaii and 1 locality area for 
     the entire State of Alaska.
       (b) Savings Provisions.--
       (1) In general.--During the period described under section 
     _04 of this title, an employee paid a special rate under 5305 
     of title 5, United States Code, who the day before the date 
     of enactment of this Act was eligible to receive a cost-of-
     living allowance under section 5941 of title 5, United States 
     Code, and who continues to be officially stationed in an 
     allowance area, shall receive an increase in the employee's 
     special rate consistent with increases in the applicable 
     special rate schedule. For employees in allowance areas, the 
     minimum step rate for any grade of a special rate schedule 
     shall be increased at the time of an increase in the 
     applicable locality rate percentage for the allowance area by 
     not less than the dollar increase in the locality-based 
     comparability payment for a non-special rate employee at the 
     same minimum step provided under section _04 of this title, 
     and corresponding increases shall be provided for all step 
     rates of the given pay range.
       (2) Continuation of cost of living allowance rate.--If an 
     employee, who the day before the date of enactment of this 
     Act was eligible to receive a cost-of-living allowance under 
     section 5941 of title 5, United States Code, would receive a 
     rate of basic pay and applicable locality-based comparability 
     payment which is in excess of the maximum rate limitation set 
     under section 5304(g) of title 5, United States Code, for his 
     position (but for that maximum rate limitation) due to the 
     operation of this title, the employee shall continue to 
     receive the cost-of-living allowance rate in effect on 
     December 31, 2009 without adjustment until--
       (A) the employee leaves the allowance area or pay system; 
     or
       (B) the employee is entitled to receive basic pay 
     (including any applicable locality-based comparability 
     payment or similar supplement) at a higher rate,
     but, when any such position becomes vacant, the pay of any 
     subsequent appointee thereto shall be fixed in the manner 
     provided by applicable law and regulation.
       (3) Locality-based comparability payments.--Any employee 
     covered under paragraph (2) shall receive any applicable 
     locality-based comparability payment extended under section 
     _04 of this title which is not in excess of the maximum rate 
     set under section 5304(g) of title 5, United States Code, for 
     his position including any future increase to statutory pay 
     limitations under 5318 of title 5, United States Code. 
     Notwithstanding paragraph (2), to the extent that an employee 
     covered under that paragraph receives any amount of locality-
     based comparability payment, the cost-of-living allowance 
     rate under that paragraph shall be reduced accordingly, as 
     provided under section 5941(c)(2)(B) of title 5, United 
     States Code.
