           FAMILY SMOKING PREVENTION AND TOBACCO CONTROL ACT

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the Senate will 
resume consideration of H.R. 1256, which the clerk will report.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A 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' Retirement System, and for other 
     purposes.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the time until 2:30 
p.m. will be equally divided and controlled between the Senator from 
Connecticut, Mr. Dodd, and the Senator from Wyoming, Mr. Enzi, or their 
designees.
  Mr. DODD. Mr. President, I see my friend from Ohio, Senator Brown, 
who has been a champion of this issue, not only as a Member of this 
body but as a former Member of the other body. He has spoken eloquently 
on this already. I will defer to him whatever time he may wish to use. 
I am told Senator Enzi will be here shortly. We will go back and forth 
between now and 2:30.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Ohio is recognized.
  Mr. BROWN. I thank the Senator.
  Mr. President, I have watched with great admiration Senator Dodd's 
work on this bill. I also worked on this bill with Henry Waxman in the 
House of Representatives. Senators Kennedy, Dodd, Durbin, and 
Congressman Waxman have helped to bring these issues forward, and they 
have never given up.
  I boil this issue down to basically almost one sentence. I remember 
sitting in front of the Health Subcommittee in the House years ago and 
seeing the tobacco company executives swear to tell the truth, and they 
didn't exactly tell the truth when they talked about nicotine not being 
an addiction. I learned one simple concept at that hearing--and we have 
known this for a number of years--which is that 400,000 Americans die 
every year from tobacco-related illnesses. On average, that means more 
than 1,000 Americans die every day from tobacco-related illnesses.
  If you are a tobacco executive, you think about this: You have lost 
400,000 customers every year, more than a thousand customers every day, 
and you

[[Page S6498]]

need to replenish your customer base. What do you do? You need to find 
400,000 new customers every year. You don't go to people of Senator 
Dodd's and my generation; you don't even go to my children's age group; 
they are in their late twenties. You aim your marketing campaign at the 
young men and women sitting in front of me, the pages on the steps in 
front of the Presiding Officer's chair. You aim at people 14, 15, 16, 
17, 18 years old. You have to find 400,000 new customers every year and 
more than 1,000 customers every day. And they are pretty successful at 
it.
  I heard Senator Dodd talk a few minutes ago in another meeting, and 
he said something like 3,000 new young people start smoking every day. 
Of those 3,000, for many it becomes a lifelong habit and many will die 
as a result of smoking. So the key point about this legislation--what 
makes the legislation Chairman Dodd brought forward today so 
important--is to have the FDA finally be involved in tobacco-related 
illness and regulation. What makes it so important is we need somebody 
to stand between the very well-paid drug company marketing executives 
and these 13-, 14-, 15-, and 16-year-olds who aren't nearly as 
sophisticated. We need some assistance in making sure those targeting 
efforts cannot get those young people addicted.
  One thousand Americans every day die from tobacco-related illnesses. 
They need 1,000 new customers every day to replenish their customer 
base. This legislation will help stop that. That is why this is 
important, and the Senate needs to pass this legislation. That is why 
this 15-year effort to do this right finally is coming to fruition. We 
need to pass this and get it to the President. He is eager to sign it. 
It will matter greatly in affecting America's public health in the 
decades ahead.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Connecticut is recognized.
  Mr. DODD. I thank my colleague from Ohio for his remarks and for his 
efforts over the years. This has been a long journey. It goes back 50 
years. Back then, the Surgeon General of the United States warned of 
the health effects of smoking--a half century ago.
  I know we will have a big vote at 2:30, and that is great news. 
Sometimes a large vote such as this minimizes the impact of the 
decision. This has been a very long battle. Somebody told me the other 
day the issue to ban smoking on airplanes only passed the Congress by 
one vote. Imagine today if somebody tried to restore the right, or 
privilege, to smoke on airplanes. I doubt you would find one vote in 
favor. Even smokers object to smoking on airplanes today. So only by a 
one-vote margin did Congress vote to ban that practice.
  On Monday, we had a cloture vote. People can vote for a lot of 
different reasons. I don't suggest that everybody who voted against 
cloture was in favor of continuing to allow the tobacco industry to be 
unregulated. But by a 1-vote margin, basically, 61 votes, on a 
bipartisan basis, we terminated that debate, which is bringing us to 
the vote in 20 minutes. While it may seem like another vote on this 
day, June 11, 2009, it is a significant vote. I don't know of another 
vote in the last number of years as important as this one. We are going 
to start a markup in the next week--my friend from Wyoming has been 
involved in this and is passionate about the issue of smoking. We are 
going to mark up bills and fashion a major health care reform debate in 
this country. What better way to begin that debate than by the vote we 
are going to take in a few minutes.
  For the first time in the history of our country, we will insist that 
tobacco products be regulated by the FDA. To put this into perspective, 
the FDA regulates not only all the food and other products we ingest, 
it regulates cosmetics, mascara, lipstick, and all sorts of products 
that we not only ingest but that we also use on our bodies. It also 
controls the products your pets consume, such as cat food, dog food, 
hamsters, and whatever else; the FDA has the power to regulate that.
  But for 50 years, the tobacco industry has successfully fought the 
ability to regulate tobacco products. Yet 3,000 to 4,000 kids start 
smoking every day in this country; 400,000 a year die, as you have 
heard from Senator Brown. It is incredible to me that for more years 
than many want to believe or count, we have had an industry that has 
gone basically unregulated. Of course, the idea that you can put cherry 
flavors and strawberry flavors in a cigarette and use cartoon figures 
to market it, that is not aimed at the 30- and 40-year-old tobacco 
user, it is aimed at children. One thousand of those children become 
addicted every day, and one-third that number will die prematurely from 
smoking.
  I will guarantee you there is not an adult smoker who wishes their 
child would begin smoking. I guarantee you that virtually 100 percent 
of adult smokers have many wishes for their children and one is that 
their children never start the habit that they did. We are told by 
health officials, experts, that the average person who smokes and tries 
to quit, tries seven times before effectively kicking the habit. I am a 
former smoker. Let me tell you, it is hard. I know others have not 
smoked, and my colleague from Wyoming talks about his own family 
smoking. He never did, but he grew up in a family that did. My mother 
smoked cigarettes and my father smoked cigars and pipes in our house 
with six children. Many of my siblings smoked growing up, all of whom 
have stopped. But it is hard.
  Today, in the name of my colleague from Massachusetts, Senator 
Kennedy, who for four decades championed this, as well as Henry Waxman 
in the House, Dick Durbin of Illinois, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Mike Enzi 
of Wyoming, and many others who have fought this battle, we will vote 
at 2:30. It will go through overwhelmingly, and we will go on to the 
next matter.
  Our leader, Harry Reid, insisted we stay on this matter. That is 
leadership. He could have easily said let's move on to another issue, 
it is taking too long--3 weeks to get it done. But because Harry Reid 
and Dick Durbin and Mike Enzi stayed with us and insisted we go through 
a normal process, which is right to do in our committee, with the good 
staff people who have worked hard on this, we are going to get this 
done today. We might move on to the next issue then.
  For the first time, we will make a difference by requiring that the 
FDA regulate the production, the sale, and the marketing of these 
products. That is history. I cannot tell you how proud I am to be 
involved in it, in the name of Ted Kennedy and the others who came 
before us, including Mike DeWine of Ohio, Tom Davis, Henry Waxman and 
many others and the thousands of organizations that joined us in this 
effort today.
  Mr. DURBIN. Will the Senator yield?
  Mr. DODD. Yes.
  Mr. DURBIN. I thank the Senator from Connecticut for his leadership 
on this issue. Just a few weeks ago, he had the legislation on credit 
card reform.
  I thank Senator Enzi for making this a true bipartisan effort. We 
would not be here today without his cooperative effort.
  I thank Senator Dodd for invoking the name of our great hero, Ted 
Kennedy, who started this fight.
  In just a few minutes, this Senate will make a historic decision, and 
I think it will make the right decision. Joe Camel will be given a life 
sentence and put away forever, and we are going to give our kids and 
families across America a fighting chance for a better life.
  This bill is historic. It has been a long time coming. I thank my 
colleagues for all their work to make it possible.
  Mr. DODD. I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.
  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I rise today in support of the Family 
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. I have thought long and 
hard about this legislation, and after a lot of work and a few good 
improvements, I believe this bill is the only bill we will consider 
seriously that will make it difficult for kids to get tobacco, make it 
difficult for them to start smoking, and that is the important point.
  I want to be clear, I still do not think there is enough in this bill 
to stop smoking. One smoker is too many. But maintaining the current 
state of tobacco regulations is not acceptable to me.
  One issue we have not discussed much is the cost of tobacco use to 
nonsmokers. Many smokers say it is their business what they put into 
their bodies. Ordinarily, they would be right.

[[Page S6499]]

But when it comes to tobacco, we all pay for what smokers put into 
their bodies and breathe out into the air. We all bear the increased 
financial costs of the diminished health of smokers. When one of your 
colleagues smokes, health insurance premiums go up for everybody. Every 
senior who uses tobacco creates a further strain on Medicare, and since 
you pay for that, too, through your taxes, it puts a strain on your 
wallet.
  If smokers were the only ones who paid the price for smoking, we 
would not be having this debate at all. But since the extra costs get 
shifted to the rest of us, it becomes our problem too. Secondhand smoke 
penalizes those who do not smoke, particularly the families of smokers. 
I hope they listen to that and realize that.
  Unfortunately, I know a lot about this since my parents' smoking 
impacted me. My mom, we thought, quit, but she became a closet smoker, 
which goes with Senator Dodd's comment that it is hard to give it up, 
and I understand how hard it is to give it up. When she quit smoking 
and was not smoking around me, my doctor told me he was glad I quit 
smoking. I said I never did. He showed me the lung x rays he had taken 
the year before at my athletic physical and that year at my athletic 
physical. When they quit smoking around me, I also got over extreme hay 
fever.
  Nearly 22 million U.S. children aged 3 to 11 are exposed to 
secondhand smoke. Approximately 30 percent of indoor workers in the 
United States are not covered by smoke-free workplace policies. Those 
numbers are just too high. We cannot keep paying that price.
  I also have concerns about the long-term financial health of this new 
center at FDA. The bill gives FDA increases in funding for this program 
for the first 10 years but leaves it flat after that. I think Congress 
will have to revisit that issue or this program will wither on the vine 
and we will not have meaningful tobacco regulation. We cannot let that 
happen.
  This bill does contain three important provisions for which I fought; 
increased fines on tobacco companies, larger color graphic warning 
labels, and reporting to Congress on how the program is going. I would 
like to talk about each of these for a moment.
  We know from decades of experience that the tobacco companies are not 
inclined to follow the law. They do not have a history of being 
forthcoming with the health information in their possession. Just 2 
weeks ago, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia found 
that the tobacco companies were guilty of `` . . . a decades-long 
conspiracy to deceive the American public about the health effects and 
addictiveness of smoking cigarettes.''
  I am pleased I was able to add a measure to the bill that increased 
civil penalties for violations of the new law and sends a strong 
message that we are serious about expecting compliance from the tobacco 
industry.
  The new larger color graphic warning labels provision I authored will 
do a lot to reduce smoking. Everyone from the World Health Organization 
to the Congressional Budget Office says these warnings work. Research 
shows these warnings have a big impact. One-fifth of the participants 
reported smoking less as a result of the labels. Only 1 percent 
reported smoking more.
  We should want kids who are thinking about taking up this deadly 
habit to have a bit of a shock just by looking at the package. We 
should want smokers to think about these health issues each time they 
light up. Any tool in our arsenal that makes people think twice about 
taking up tobacco should not be an option, it should be a requirement. 
Now these labels are a requirement.
  Finally, we now require reports on the performance of FDA's tobacco 
center and on the financial situation of the program. Without this 
regular reporting, Congress would have little insight into the 
operation and status of this new program. These reports play an 
important role in establishing the health of the programs and FDA's 
performance in carrying out the law.
  I want to make sure the agency is doing what it is supposed to do and 
that the fees are paying for FDA's tobacco control activities. These 
reports will help us do just exactly that.
  I have always stood against tobacco. The footing would have been 
better if changes such as my phase-out amendment to reduce tobacco use 
over 100 years was accepted. I know how addictive it is. I did not want 
to make it too short a period of time. I thought 100 years was plenty 
reasonable. We did not have a chance to debate that or look at it. I 
actually offered that a little more than a year ago. It was a new 
amendment then. New amendments have trouble getting traction, except in 
New Zealand. New Zealand liked this approach to stopping smoking and 
looked at it in their legislature. They even called it the Enzi bill. 
Of course, you have to realize that is how it sounds and that is the 
way they spelled it, but in New Zealand, ``NZ'' stands for their 
country. I think they were talking about their country's bill rather 
than something I had written. It was kind of fun to watch anyway.
  I think we need to look at some approaches such as that idea where 
the tobacco companies have to reduce the number of cigarettes they are 
selling each and every year or purchase a number from another company 
to make up for the increase in cigarettes they sold, which would reduce 
smoking at least in one part and over a long period of time would 
eliminate this problem.
  This bill is just one step toward the goal I know we all share, which 
is reducing the public health toll of tobacco use. I urge my colleagues 
not to rest on their laurels and think this bill is enough to combat 
tobacco. I intend to continue the fight against tobacco, and I ask my 
colleagues to join me.

  I thank Senator Dodd, who has been chairing this effort and working 
on this bill with me, for giving us a voice and taking the bill through 
the whole process. It was extremely important, extremely valuable. The 
floor discussion took longer but with less debate than I anticipated. I 
know some parliamentary issues got in the way of that. We could have 
had more success, but there were some additional amendments that could 
not be resolved.
  I always ask people to do relevant or germane amendments to the 
bills. When they talk about doing other ones, it sometimes slows our 
process down dramatically and usually does not result in any of those 
amendments happening anyway.
  I also wish to thank all the staff who worked on this bill. They, 
too, have been very diligent, have looked at everything, have done 
tremendous research. I particularly thank Amy Muhlberg for her efforts 
on this legislation. I think she knows the tobacco bill and other 
proposals better than probably anybody. She has real diligence and 
passion for it. I also thank Greg Dean of my staff for his efforts. He 
has a legal mind that helps us on these issues.
  I thank Senator Burr for his hard work during this process. Although 
he ultimately was not successful, his efforts helped advance the debate 
and highlight some areas where improvement is needed. He put 
considerable time and energy into preparing a viable alternative, and I 
appreciate the way he created options.
  Chris Wall of Senator Burr's staff was extremely helpful during the 
markup and floor debate, and I thank him and compliment his work with 
my staff and others on this bill. Jeff Teitz and Ben Olinsky of Senator 
Kennedy's staff, and Jim Fenton and Jeremy Sharp of Senator Dodd's 
staff were also critical to our progress on this bill. Finally, Megan 
Hauck from the Republican leader's office and the floor staff for their 
assistance.
  I do intend to continue the fight against tobacco. I ask my 
colleagues to join me in this fight. I thank Senator Dodd for all of 
his efforts. There is true passion.
  I yield the floor.


                     Regulating tobacco warehouses

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, the bill before us grants standby 
authority to the Secretary of Health and Human Services to regulate 
``tobacco warehouses.'' Because the bill already draws a bright line 
between tobacco companies that actually manufacture tobacco products 
and those, including growers and ``tobacco warehouses,'' that do not 
manufacture, I would expect that the Secretary would utilize the 
standby authority to regulate tobacco warehouses only under unforeseen 
and unanticipated circumstances that give rise to public health 
concerns.
  Mr. DODD. That is my general understanding of the provision.
  Mr. WARNER. I thank the Senator.

[[Page S6500]]

                          Pesticide Regulation

  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. President, the EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs 
has been protecting the environment, agricultural workers and the 
public health by regulating pesticides for many years. These chemicals 
are commonly used in agriculture, including the production of tobacco 
leaf. EPA approves the use of all pesticides in the United States under 
the authority of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide 
Act--FIFRA. I would ask Senator Harkin if this bill would in any way 
limit the authority of the Administrator of the Environmental 
Protection Agency to regulate pesticides under FIFRA.
  Mr. HARKIN. I would respond to the Senator from Georgia that it is my 
understanding that nothing in the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco 
Control Act would restrict the Administrator's authority provided under 
FIFRA.
  Mr. DODD. I agree with my colleagues from the Committee on 
Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.
  Mr. AKAKA. Mr. President, I support the Family Smoking Prevention and 
Tobacco Control Act. Tobacco products kill approximately 400,000 people 
each year. The Food and Drug Administration, FDA, must be provided with 
the authority to regulate deadly tobacco products, restrict 
advertising, and further restrict access of tobacco to children.
  The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids estimates that almost 10 percent 
of Hawaii high school students smoke. Flavored cigarettes are one of 
the repulsive methods used by tobacco companies to get children and 
teenagers to start smoking. In 2004, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company 
tried to exploit images of my home state of Hawaii and the name of one 
of our islands in an attempt to make smoking more attractive. One of 
the cigarettes, which was named Kauai Kolada, was flavored with hints 
of pineapple and coconut. Another lime-flavored cigarette was featured 
in the predatory marketing campaign. It was extraordinarily offensive 
that a manufacturer of such a deadly product would exploit and taint 
the images and names from Hawaii in an attempt to attract young 
smokers. This is just one example of some of the products and marketing 
used to attract young people to become smokers.
  This legislation includes a long overdue prohibition on fruit and 
candy flavored cigarettes. It also will permit the FDA to restrict 
advertising, marketing, and sales practices in an attempt to further 
limit the access of tobacco products to children. This bill will help 
protect our children and improve the public health of our country. We 
must prevent tobacco companies from cultivating another generation of 
smokers so that they can increase sales and reap more profits at the 
expense of the health and well-being of our families.
  In order to supplement the loss in revenue from this bill, the House 
added provisions to increase revenue through the introduction of a 
Roth-like option for Thrift Savings Plan participants. The additional 
revenue also covered a number of annuity enhancement, correction, and 
equity provisions for Federal employees. The Lieberman amendment 
included these provisions as well as the Non-Foreign Area Retirement 
Equity Assurance Act, to provide Federal employees in Alaska, Hawaii, 
and the territories locality pay. I strongly supported the Lieberman 
amendment and all the Federal employee annuitant provisions, and I am 
very disappointed that a lack of cooperation for this bipartisan 
amendment led to its defeat. I am hopeful that we will be able to 
address these critical issues to Federal employees very soon.
  I appreciate all of the work done on this important issue by my 
friend from Massachusetts, Senator Kennedy, and my friends from 
Connecticut, Senators Dodd and Lieberman. I look forward to the 
enactment of this vital legislation.
  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I am pleased the Senate is moving once 
again to pass legislation to regulate tobacco products in the United 
States. Senator Kennedy's lifetime efforts to improve the public's 
health are exemplified in his fight to pass the Family Smoking 
Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Despite many setbacks, Senator 
Kennedy has worked tirelessly to pass this legislation and I am proud 
to join him again as a cosponsor of this bill. This legislation is long 
overdue and I look forward to it being signed into law.
  The health risks associated with smoking are undisputed and cost 
hundreds of thousands of Americans their lives every year. Tobacco 
products will kill one out of three long-term smokers, leading to over 
400,000 deaths per year. The Surgeon General has determined that 
smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, and other serious illnesses. 
Deaths from tobacco products exceed deaths from HIV/AIDS, illegal drug 
use, alcohol use, car accidents, suicides, and murders combined.
  Despite the dangers of smoking, we have seen that children have the 
greatest risk of becoming addicted to tobacco. Each day more than 3,500 
children will try a cigarette for the first time and 1000 of those kids 
will become regular smokers. Among adult smokers, 90 percent started 
smoking as children and teens under the age of 18. In my home State of 
Vermont, more than 18 percent of high school students smoke. According 
to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, 12,000 children in Vermont will 
ultimately die from smoking if smoking rates remain unchanged.
  These statistics are horrifying but perhaps not surprising given the 
historic lack of regulation of the tobacco industry. At a congressional 
hearing as late as 1994, tobacco industry chairmen and CEOs testified 
that nicotine is not addictive, even though decades of evidence showed 
otherwise. In fact, the tobacco industry has increased the nicotine 
levels in cigarettes by more than 11 percent from 1998 to 2005, 
increasing the risk of cigarette addiction. If enhanced nicotine levels 
in cigarettes is not enough to convince us that the tobacco industry 
should be regulated, a new study released this spring showed that 
changes the tobacco industry has made to cigarette design over the 
years has increased the risk of lung cancer for those who smoke.
  In addition to making their products more potent and addictive, study 
after study has shown how the tobacco industry continues to 
successfully target advertising to minors to get them hooked for life 
on smoking. Each year, the tobacco industry spends over $13 billion in 
advertising--that is $36 million every day. Studies have showed that 
children are three times more sensitive to tobacco advertising than 
adults and are more likely to be influenced to start smoking by 
cigarette marketing than by peer pressure.
  This bill addresses these shameful business practices by giving the 
United States Food and Drug Administration the authority for the first 
time to regulate the sale, distribution, and advertising of cigarettes 
and smokeless tobacco. It will require manufacturers to better disclose 
the contents and consequences of their products in new, stronger 
warning labels on packages. It will also prohibit cigarette companies 
from labeling their brands as reduced risk ``lite'' or ``ultra-lite'' 
unless the government can certify that those claims are true. The very 
purpose of the Food and Drug Administration is to protect the interests 
and safety of consumers and this legislation will finally allow the FDA 
to hold the tobacco industry accountable for their products.
  A recent ruling by the District of Columbia Circuit Court highlights 
the need for serious regulation of the tobacco industry. The DC Appeals 
Court confirmed the district court's ruling, which found that the 
tobacco industry had for decades engaged in deceptive marketing tactics 
to conceal the negative health impacts of smoking. The ruling confirmed 
that tobacco companies had not changed the way their products were 
marketed in response to the Master Settlement Agreement, and instead 
the industry has more than doubled spending on marketing campaigns that 
included spurious claims of ``healthier'' cigarettes that are ``light'' 
or ``low-tar.'' The ruling did not, however, require that the tobacco 
industry surrender profits that resulted in the misleading advertising 
or stop the industry from adding flavors to make products more 
appealing to kids or to manipulate nicotine levels to increase 
addictiveness and harm. The tobacco industry must be regulated to 
create transparency in the contents of tobacco products and to help 
stop hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths each year.
  For far too long, the tobacco industry has been given free rein to 
mislead

[[Page S6501]]

the public and encourage children and teens to take up smoking. The 
passage of this bill will give the FDA the authority it needs to 
effectively protect children from smoking and improve consumer 
awareness of tobacco industry practices, which will in turn save 
American lives. I urge all Senators to support passage of the Family 
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Connecticut.
  Mr. DODD. Mr. President, I thank my colleagues. We are getting close 
to the time of the vote. I would be remiss if I did not also mention 
our staff. I often say in a time such as this, Senators get the 
opportunity to stand at a podium and be heard, but there are literally 
dozens of people whose names most Americans will never know who make 
these moments happen. They deserve public recognition because they 
worked tirelessly, late nights, weekends, around the clock negotiating, 
working with each other trying to iron out provisions of the bill.
  On Senator Kennedy's staff: Jeff Teitz, Michael Myers, Ben Olinsky, 
Terri Roney, Shawn Daugherty, and Portia Wu. Some are in the Chamber. I 
thank them immensely on behalf of Senator Kennedy.
  Senator Durbin's staff: Tom Falletti and Sara Singleton have been 
terrific in this effort. We thank Tom and Sara for their work.
  Senator Enzi's staff: Greg Dean and Amy Muhlberg. We thank them 
immensely. They worked hard on this bill.
  Finally I want to thank Jim Fenton from my office, Rachael Holt, 
Jeremy Sharp, who is sitting next to me, and Monica Feit. I have gotten 
a lot of help in this effort, with Senator Kennedy's staff and Senator 
Enzi's staff.
  There are members of the majority leader's staff who deserve our 
thanks as well. We always have to thank Lula, Tim, and others who make 
it all possible. We thank them all very much for what they do.
  Again, as Senator Durbin said, and Senator Enzi and others have said, 
this is a historic moment for our Chamber to be able to do something. 
Fifty years ago the Surgeon General warned us of tobacco use, and a 
half century later we are about to insist the agency in charge of food, 
drugs, cosmetics, and pet food also be able to include tobacco. We are 
about to do that.
  The House and Senate bills are similar, and I believe we will have a 
Presidential signature on this legislation very quickly.
  On behalf of millions of families across this country and as the 
father of a 4-year-old and a 7-year-old who do not know anything about 
tobacco yet, and whose mother does not smoke, never did, and a father 
who did but stopped, on behalf of my children and millions of children 
around this country, we are told by the Congressional Budget Office 
that an 11-percent reduction in youth smoking can happen immediately 
with the passage of this bill. That may not seem like much, but it is a 
beginning. We may just reach the goal of my colleague from Wyoming of a 
100-percent reduction of young people smoking. My hope is that 
certainly will be the case.
  Mr. President, with a little bit of time remaining, I am prepared to 
yield back the time, and at the appropriate moment, I will ask for the 
yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired. The Senator 
from Wyoming has 3 minutes 30 seconds remaining.
  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I yield back the remainder of my time.
  Mr. DODD. Mr. President, I ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There is a sufficient second.
  Under the previous order, the bill having been read the third time,

     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.

[[Page S6502]]

       (7) Federal and State governments have lacked the legal and 
     regulatory authority and resources they need to address 
     comprehensively the public health and societal problems 
     caused by the use of tobacco products.
       (8) Federal and State public health officials, the public 
     health community, and the public at large recognize that the 
     tobacco industry should be subject to ongoing oversight.
       (9) Under article I, section 8 of the Constitution, the 
     Congress is vested with the responsibility for regulating 
     interstate commerce and commerce with Indian tribes.
       (10) The sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, and 
     use of tobacco products are activities in and substantially 
     affecting interstate commerce because they are sold, 
     marketed, advertised, and distributed in interstate commerce 
     on a nationwide basis, and have a substantial effect on the 
     Nation's economy.
       (11) The sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, and 
     use of such products substantially affect interstate commerce 
     through the health care and other costs attributable to the 
     use of tobacco products.
       (12) It is in the public interest for Congress to enact 
     legislation that provides the Food and Drug Administration 
     with the authority to regulate tobacco products and the 
     advertising and promotion of such products. The benefits to 
     the American people from enacting such legislation would be 
     significant in human and economic terms.
       (13) Tobacco use is the foremost preventable cause of 
     premature death in America. It causes over 400,000 deaths in 
     the United States each year, and approximately 8,600,000 
     Americans have chronic illnesses related to smoking.
       (14) Reducing the use of tobacco by minors by 50 percent 
     would prevent well over 10,000,000 of today's children from 
     becoming regular, daily smokers, saving over 3,000,000 of 
     them from premature death due to tobacco-induced disease. 
     Such a reduction in youth smoking would also result in 
     approximately $75,000,000,000 in savings attributable to 
     reduced health care costs.
       (15) Advertising, marketing, and promotion of tobacco 
     products have been especially directed to attract young 
     persons to use tobacco products, and these efforts have 
     resulted in increased use of such products by youth. Past 
     efforts to oversee these activities have not been successful 
     in adequately preventing such increased use.
       (16) In 2005, the cigarette manufacturers spent more than 
     $13,000,000,000 to attract new users, retain current users, 
     increase current consumption, and generate favorable long-
     term attitudes toward smoking and tobacco use.
       (17) Tobacco product advertising often misleadingly 
     portrays the use of tobacco as socially acceptable and 
     healthful to minors.
       (18) Tobacco product advertising is regularly seen by 
     persons under the age of 18, and persons under the age of 18 
     are regularly exposed to tobacco product promotional efforts.
       (19) Through advertisements during and sponsorship of 
     sporting events, tobacco has become strongly associated with 
     sports and has become portrayed as an integral part of sports 
     and the healthy lifestyle associated with rigorous sporting 
     activity.
       (20) Children are exposed to substantial and unavoidable 
     tobacco advertising that leads to favorable beliefs about 
     tobacco use, plays a role in leading young people to 
     overestimate the prevalence of tobacco use, and increases the 
     number of young people who begin to use tobacco.
       (21) The use of tobacco products in motion pictures and 
     other mass media glamorizes its use for young people and 
     encourages them to use tobacco products.
       (22) Tobacco advertising expands the size of the tobacco 
     market by increasing consumption of tobacco products 
     including tobacco use by young people.
       (23) Children are more influenced by tobacco marketing than 
     adults: more than 80 percent of youth smoke three heavily 
     marketed brands, while only 54 percent of adults, 26 and 
     older, smoke these same brands.
       (24) Tobacco company documents indicate that young people 
     are an important and often crucial segment of the tobacco 
     market. Children, who tend to be more price sensitive than 
     adults, are influenced by advertising and promotion practices 
     that result in drastically reduced cigarette prices.
       (25) Comprehensive advertising restrictions will have a 
     positive effect on the smoking rates of young people.
       (26) Restrictions on advertising are necessary to prevent 
     unrestricted tobacco advertising from undermining legislation 
     prohibiting access to young people and providing for 
     education about tobacco use.
       (27) International experience shows that advertising 
     regulations that are stringent and comprehensive have a 
     greater impact on overall tobacco use and young people's use 
     than weaker or less comprehensive ones.
       (28) Text only requirements, although not as stringent as a 
     ban, will help reduce underage use of tobacco products while 
     preserving the informational function of advertising.
       (29) It is in the public interest for Congress to adopt 
     legislation to address the public health crisis created by 
     actions of the tobacco industry.
       (30) The final regulations promulgated by the Secretary of 
     Health and Human Services in the August 28, 1996, issue of 
     the Federal Register (61 Fed. Reg. 44615-44618) for inclusion 
     as part 897 of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, are 
     consistent with the first amendment to the United States 
     Constitution and with the standards set forth in the 
     amendments made by this subtitle for the regulation of 
     tobacco products by the Food and Drug Administration, and the 
     restriction on the sale and distribution of, including access 
     to and the advertising and promotion of, tobacco products 
     contained in such regulations are substantially related to 
     accomplishing the public health goals of this 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

[[Page S6503]]

     with its mandate to promote health and reduce the risk of 
     harm, the Food and Drug Administration routinely makes 
     decisions about whether and how products may be marketed in 
     the United States.
       (45) The Federal Trade Commission was created to protect 
     consumers from unfair or deceptive acts or practices, and to 
     regulate unfair methods of competition. Its focus is on those 
     marketplace practices that deceive or mislead consumers, and 
     those that give some competitors an unfair advantage. Its 
     mission is to regulate activities in the marketplace. Neither 
     the Federal Trade Commission nor any other Federal agency 
     except the Food and Drug Administration possesses the 
     scientific expertise needed to implement effectively all 
     provisions of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco 
     Control Act.
       (46) If manufacturers state or imply in communications 
     directed to consumers through the media or through a label, 
     labeling, or advertising, that a tobacco product is approved 
     or inspected by the Food and Drug Administration or complies 
     with Food and Drug Administration standards, consumers are 
     likely to be confused and misled. Depending upon the 
     particular language used and its context, such a statement 
     could result in consumers being misled into believing that 
     the product is endorsed by the Food and Drug Administration 
     for use or in consumers being misled about the harmfulness of 
     the product because of such regulation, inspection, approval, 
     or compliance.
       (47) In August 2006 a United States district court judge 
     found that the major United States cigarette companies 
     continue to target and market to youth. USA v. Philip Morris, 
     USA, Inc., et al. (Civil Action No. 99-2496 (GK), August 17, 
     2006).
       (48) In August 2006 a United States district court judge 
     found that the major United States cigarette companies 
     dramatically increased their advertising and promotional 
     spending in ways that encourage youth to start smoking 
     subsequent to the signing of the Master Settlement Agreement 
     in 1998. USA v. Philip Morris, USA, Inc., et al. (Civil 
     Action No. 99-2496 (GK), August 17, 2006).
       (49) In August 2006 a United States district court judge 
     found that the major United States cigarette companies have 
     designed their cigarettes to precisely control nicotine 
     delivery levels and provide doses of nicotine sufficient to 
     create and sustain addiction while also concealing much of 
     their nicotine-related research. USA v. Philip Morris, USA, 
     Inc., et al. (Civil Action No. 99-2496 (GK), August 17, 
     2006).

     SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

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

     SEC. 4. SCOPE AND EFFECT.

     the Secretary of the Treasury under chapter 52 of the 
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

     SEC. 5. SEVERABILITY.

       If any provision of this division, of the amendments made 
     by this division, or of the regulations promulgated under 
     this division (or under such amendments), or the application 
     of any such provision to any person or circumstance is held 
     to be invalid, the remainder of this division, such 
     amendments and such regulations, and the application of such 
     provisions to any other person or circumstance shall not be 
     affected and shall continue to be enforced to the fullest 
     extent possible.

     SEC. 6. MODIFICATION OF DEADLINES FOR SECRETARIAL ACTION.

       (a) Delayed Commencement of Dates for Secretarial Action.--
       (1) In general.--Except as provided in subsection (c), with 
     respect to any time periods specified in this division (or in 
     an amendment made by this division) that begin on the date of 
     enactment of this Act, within which the Secretary of Health 
     and Human Services is required to carry out and complete

       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary may by regulation require 
     restrictions on the sale and distribution of a tobacco 
     product, including restrictions on the access to, and the 
     advertising and promotion of, the tobacco product, if the 
     Secretary determines that such regulation would be 
     appropriate for the protection of the public health. The 
     Secretary may by regulation impose restrictions on the 
     advertising and promotion of a tobacco product consistent 
     with and to full extent permitted by the first amendment to 
     the Constitution. The finding as to whether such regulation 
     would be appropriate for the protection of the public health 
     shall be determined with respect to the risks and benefits to 
     the population as a whole, including users and nonusers of 
     the tobacco product, and taking into account--
       ``(A) the increased or decreased likelihood that existing 
     users of tobacco products will stop using such products; and
       ``(B) the increased or decreased likelihood that those who 
     do not use tobacco products will start using such products.

     No such regulation may require that the sale or distribution 
     of a tobacco product be limited to the written or oral 
     authorization of a practitioner licensed by law to prescribe 
     medical products.
       ``(2) Label statements.--The label of a tobacco product 
     shall bear such appropriate statements of the restrictions 
     required by a regulation under subsection (a) as the 
     Secretary may in such regulation prescribe.

       ``(A) In general.--No restrictions under paragraph (1) 
     may--
       ``(i) prohibit the sale of any tobacco product in face-to-
     face transactions by a specific category of retail outlets; 
     or
       ``(ii) establish a minimum age of sale of tobacco products 
     to any person older than 18 years of age.
       ``(B) Matchbooks.--For purposes of any regulations issued 
     by the Secretary, matchbooks of conventional size containing 
     not more than 20 paper matches, and which are customarily 
     given away for free with the purchase of tobacco products, 
     shall be considered as adult-written publications which shall 
     be permitted to contain advertising. Notwithstanding the 
     preceding sentence, if the Secretary finds that such 
     treatment of matchbooks is not appropriate for the protection 
     of the public health, the Secretary may determine by 
     regulation that matchbooks shall not be considered adult-
     written publications.
       ``(4) Remote sales.--
       ``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall--
       ``(i) within 18 months after the date of enactment of the 
     Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, promulgate 
     regulations regarding the sale and distribution of tobacco 
     products that occur through means other than a direct, face-
     to-face exchange between a retailer and a consumer in order 
     to prevent the sale and distribution of tobacco products to 
     individuals who have not attained the minimum age established 
     by applicable law for the purchase of such products, 
     including requirements for age verification; and
       ``(ii) within 2 years after such date of enactment, issue 
     regulations to address the promotion and marketing of tobacco 
     products that are sold or distributed through means other 
     than a direct, face-to-face exchange between a retailer and a 
     consumer in order to protect individuals who have not 
     attained the minimum age established by applicable law for 
     the purchase of such products.
       ``(B) Relation to other authority.--Nothing in this 
     paragraph limits the authority of the Secretary to take 
     additional actions under the other paragraphs of this 
     subsection.
       ``(e) Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements.--
       ``(1) Methods, facilities, and controls to conform.--
       ``(A) In general.--In applying manufacturing restrictions 
     to tobacco, the Secretary shall, in accordance with 
     subparagraph (B), prescribe regulations (which may differ 
     based on the type of tobacco product involved) requiring that 
     the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used 
     for, the manufacture, preproduction design validation 
     (including a process to assess the performance of a tobacco 
     product), packing, and storage of a tobacco product conform 
     to current good manufacturing practice, or hazard analysis 
     and critical control point methodology, as prescribed in such 
     regulations to assure that the public health is protected and 
     that the tobacco product is in compliance with this chapter. 
     Such regulations may provide for the testing of raw tobacco 
     for pesticide chemical residues regardless of whether a 
     tolerance for such chemical residues has been established.
       ``(B) Requirements.--The Secretary shall--
       ``(i) before promulgating any regulation under subparagraph 
     (A), afford the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory

     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

     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

     shall prescribe.
       ``(B) Referral to the tobacco products scientific advisory 
     committee.--The Secretary may refer to the Tobacco Products

     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--

     under subparagraph (A); or

     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.
       ``(f) Research and Development.--The Secretary may enter 
     into contracts for research, testing, and demonstrations 
     respecting tobacco products and may obtain tobacco products 
     for research, testing, and demonstration purposes.

     ``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.
       ``(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 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 
     Advisory Committee shall submit to the Secretary the report

     shall be construed to limit the Secretary's authority to take 
     action under this section or other sections of this Act at 
     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 
     opportunity for such a hearing, the Secretary determines that 
     inadequate grounds exist to support the actions required by 
     the order, the Secretary shall vacate the order.
       ``(2) Amendment of order to require recall.--
       ``(A) In general.--If, after providing an opportunity for 
     an informal hearing under paragraph (1), the Secretary 
     determines that the order should be amended to include a 
     recall of the tobacco product with respect to which the order 
     was issued, the Secretary shall, except as provided in 
     subparagraph (B), amend the order to require a recall. The 
     Secretary shall specify a timetable in which the tobacco 
     product recall will occur and shall require periodic reports 
     to the Secretary describing the progress of the recall.
       ``(B) Notice.--An amended order under subparagraph (A)--
       ``(i) shall not include recall of a tobacco product from 
     individuals; and
       ``(ii) shall provide for notice to persons subject to the 
     risks associated with the use of such tobacco product.

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

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

       ``(a) In General.--Every person who is a tobacco product 
     manufacturer or importer of a tobacco product shall establish 
     and maintain such records, make such reports, and provide 
     such information, as the Secretary may by regulation 
     reasonably require to assure that such tobacco product is not 
     adulterated or misbranded and to otherwise protect public 
     health. Regulations prescribed under the preceding sentence--
       ``(1) may require a tobacco product manufacturer or 
     importer to report to the Secretary whenever the manufacturer 
     or importer receives or otherwise becomes aware of 
     information that reasonably suggests that one of its marketed 
     tobacco products may have caused or contributed to a serious 
     unexpected adverse experience associated with the use of the 
     product or any significant increase in the frequency of a 
     serious, expected adverse product experience;
       ``(2) shall require reporting of other significant adverse 
     tobacco product experiences as determined by the Secretary to 
     be necessary to be reported;
       ``(3) shall not impose requirements unduly burdensome to a 
     tobacco product manufacturer or importer, taking into account 
     the cost of complying with such requirements and the need for 
     the protection of the public health and the implementation of 
     this chapter;
       ``(4) when prescribing the procedure for making requests 
     for reports or information, shall require that each request 
     made under such regulations for submission of a report or 
     information to the Secretary state the reason or purpose for 
     such request and identify to the fullest extent practicable 
     such report or information;
       ``(5) when requiring submission of a report or information 
     to the Secretary, shall state the reason or purpose for the 
     submission of such report or information and identify to the 
     fullest extent practicable such report or information; and
       ``(6) may not require that the identity of any patient or 
     user be disclosed in records, reports, or information 
     required under this subsection unless required for the 
     medical welfare of an individual, to determine risks to 
     public health of a tobacco product, or to verify a record, 
     report, or information submitted under this chapter.
     In prescribing regulations under this subsection, the 
     Secretary shall have due regard for the professional ethics 
     of the medical profession and the interests of patients. The 
     prohibitions of paragraph (6) continue to apply to records, 
     reports, and information concerning any individual who has 
     been a patient, irrespective of whether or when he ceases to 
     be a patient.
       ``(b) Reports of Removals and Corrections.--
       ``(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the 
     Secretary shall by regulation require a tobacco product 
     manufacturer or importer of a tobacco product to report 
     promptly to the Secretary any corrective action taken or 
     removal from the market of a tobacco product undertaken by 
     such manufacturer or importer if the removal or correction 
     was undertaken--
       ``(A) to reduce a risk to health posed by the tobacco 
     product; or
       ``(B) to remedy a violation of this chapter caused by the 
     tobacco product which may present a risk to health.

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

     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.
       ``(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 tobacco product and whether such tobacco 
     product presents less risk than other tobacco products;
       ``(B) a full statement of the components, ingredients, 
     additives, and properties, and of the principle or principles 
     of operation, of such tobacco product;
       ``(C) a full description of the methods used in, and the 
     facilities and controls used for, the manufacture, 
     processing, and, when relevant, packing and installation of, 
     such tobacco product;
       ``(D) an identifying reference to any tobacco product 
     standard under section 907 which would be applicable to any 
     aspect of such tobacco product, and either adequate 
     information to show that such aspect of such tobacco product 
     fully meets such tobacco product standard or adequate 
     information to justify any deviation from such standard;
       ``(E) such samples of such tobacco product and of 
     components thereof as the Secretary may reasonably require;
       ``(F) specimens of the labeling proposed to be used for 
     such tobacco product; and
       ``(G) such other information relevant to the subject matter 
     of the application as the Secretary may require.
       ``(2) Referral to tobacco products scientific advisory 
     committee.--Upon receipt of an application meeting the 
     requirements set forth in paragraph (1), the Secretary--
       ``(A) may, on the Secretary's own initiative; or
       ``(B) may, upon the request of an applicant,

     refer such application to the Tobacco Products Scientific 
     Advisory Committee for reference and for submission (within 
     such period as the Secretary may establish) of a report and 
     recommendation respecting 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;
       ``(B) the methods used in, or the facilities or controls 
     used for, the manufacture, processing, or packing of such 
     tobacco product do not conform to the requirements of section 
     906(e);
       ``(C) based on a fair evaluation of all material facts, the 
     proposed labeling is false or misleading in any particular; 
     or
       ``(D) such tobacco product is not shown to conform in all 
     respects to a tobacco product standard in effect under 
     section 907, 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 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;
       ``(ii) has refused to permit access to, or copying or 
     verification of, such records as required by section 704; or
       ``(iii) has not complied with the requirements of section 
     905;
       ``(D) on the basis of new information before the Secretary 
     with respect to such tobacco product, evaluated together with 
     the evidence before the Secretary when the application was 
     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
       ``(F) on the basis of new information before the Secretary, 
     evaluated together with the evidence before the Secretary 
     when such order was issued, that such tobacco product is not 
     shown to conform in all respects to a tobacco product 
     standard which is in effect under section 907, compliance 
     with which was a condition to 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)(i) 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 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 Secretary issues such an order, 
     the Secretary shall proceed expeditiously under paragraph (1) 
     to withdraw such application.

     under this section shall be served--
       ``(1) in person by any officer or employee of the 
     department designated by the Secretary; or
       ``(2) by mailing the order by registered mail or certified 
     mail addressed to the applicant at the applicant's last known 
     address in the records of the Secretary.
       ``(f) Records.--
       ``(1) Additional information.--In the case of any tobacco 
     product for which an order issued pursuant to subsection 
     (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.
       ``(g) Investigational Tobacco Product Exemption for 
     Investigational Use.--The Secretary may exempt tobacco 
     products intended for investigational use from the provisions 
     of this chapter under such conditions as the Secretary may by

     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

     descriptors; 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 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, 
     respecting the product that would be reasonably expected to 
     result in consumers believing that the tobacco product or its 
     smoke may present a lower risk of disease or is less harmful 
     than one or more commercially marketed tobacco products, or 
     presents a reduced exposure to, or does not contain or is 
     free of, a substance or substances.
       ``(B) Limitation.--No tobacco product shall be considered

     product shall be considered to be `sold or distributed for 
     use to reduce harm or the risk of tobacco-related disease

     solely because its label, labeling, or advertising uses the 
     following phrases to describe such product and its use:

     case, beginning 30 days after such effective date, a 
     manufacturer shall not introduce into the domestic commerce 
     of the United States any product, irrespective of the date of 
     manufacture, that is not in conformance with paragraph 
     (2)(A)(ii).
       ``(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

       ``(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); 
     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 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.
       ``(C) Conditions of marketing.--
       ``(i) In general.--Applications subject to an order under 
     this paragraph shall be limited to a term of not more than 5 
     years, but may be renewed upon a finding by the Secretary 
     that the requirements of this paragraph continue to be 
     satisfied based on the filing of a new application.

[[Page S6512]]

       ``(ii) Agreements by applicant.--An order under this 
     paragraph shall be conditioned on the applicant's agreement 
     to conduct postmarket surveillance and studies and to submit 
     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.
       ``(iii) Annual submission.--The results of such postmarket 
     surveillance and studies described in clause (ii) shall be 
     submitted annually.

     made available to the Secretary.
       ``(4) Benefit to health of individuals and of population as 
     a whole.--In making the determinations under paragraphs (1) 
     and (2), the Secretary shall take into account--
       ``(A) the relative health risks to individuals of the 
     tobacco product that is the subject of the application;
       ``(B) the increased or decreased likelihood that existing 
     users of tobacco products who would otherwise stop using such 
     products will switch to the tobacco product that is the 
     subject of the application;
       ``(C) the increased or decreased likelihood that persons 
     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

     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

       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary 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 
     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.

     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 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 
     as necessary to protect the public health.
       ``(j) Withdrawal of Authorization.--The Secretary, after an 
     opportunity for an informal hearing, shall withdraw an order 
     under subsection (g) if the Secretary determines that--

     longer make the demonstrations required under subsection (g), 
     or the Secretary can no longer make the determinations 
     required under subsection (g);

     information or included any untrue statement of material 
     fact;

     section 907;
       ``(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

     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

     distributor may take any action, after the date of enactment

     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.

     limiting or diminishing the authority of the Federal Trade 
     Commission to enforce the laws under its jurisdiction with

       ``(2) Enforcement.--Any advertising that violates this

     product constituents, ingredients, and additives, including 
     smoke constituents, by brand and subbrand that the Secretary 
     determines should be tested to protect the public health,

     this paragraph, tobacco products manufactured and sold by a 
     single tobacco product manufacturer that are identical in all

     requirements on small tobacco product manufacturers before 
     the later of--
       ``(A) the end of the 2-year period following the final 
     promulgation of such regulations; and

     with such regulations by manufacturers that are not small 
     tobacco product manufacturers.
       ``(2) Testing and reporting initial compliance period.--
       ``(A) 4-year period.--The initial regulations promulgated 
     under subsection (a) shall give each small tobacco product 
     manufacturer a 4-year period over which to conduct testing 
     and reporting for all of its tobacco products. Subject to 
     paragraph (1), the end of the first year of such 4-year

     under this section set by the Secretary with respect to 
     manufacturers that are not small tobacco product 
     manufacturers or the end of the 2-year period following the 
     final promulgation of such regulations, as described in

     of its tobacco products during each year of such 4-year 
     period; and

     (A), the Secretary may, on a case-by-case basis, delay the 
     date by which an individual small tobacco product 
     manufacturer must conduct testing and reporting for its 
     tobacco products under this section based upon a showing of 
     undue hardship to such manufacturer. Notwithstanding the 
     preceding sentence, the Secretary shall not extend the 
     deadline for a small tobacco product manufacturer to conduct 
     testing and reporting for all of its tobacco products beyond 
     a total of 5 years after the initial date of compliance under 
     this section set by the Secretary with respect to 
     manufacturers that are not small tobacco product 
     manufacturers.
       ``(3) Subsequent and additional testing and reporting.--The 
     regulations promulgated under subsection (a) shall provide 
     that, with respect to any subsequent or additional testing 
     and reporting of tobacco products required under this 
     section, such testing and reporting by a small tobacco 
     product manufacturer shall be conducted in accordance with 
     the timeframes described in paragraph (2)(A), except that, in

     modification described in section 910(a)(1)(B) of any product 
     of a small tobacco product manufacturer since the last 
     testing and reporting required under this section, the 
     Secretary shall require that any subsequent or additional 
     testing and reporting be conducted in accordance with the 
     same timeframe applicable to manufacturers that are not small 
     tobacco product manufacturers.
       ``(4) Joint laboratory testing services.--The Secretary 
     shall allow any 2 or more small 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.

       ``(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

[[Page S6514]]

     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.
