FDA Launches Webpage for Tobacco Product Citizen Petitions

Mar.24.2023

FDA launches webpage showing tobacco-related citizen petitions received by CTP, increasing transparency for consumers and stakeholders.

On March 23rd, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the launch of a new webpage on its official website. The webpage is dedicated to displaying all citizen petitions related to tobacco products that have been received by the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP).

The citizen petition is a means by which individuals, regulated industry representatives, or consumer groups can petition the FDA to issue, amend, or revoke a regulation, or take other administrative actions. The requirements for such petitions are outlined in the Federal Regulations.

As part of its commitment to increased transparency, CTP has developed this webpage to provide the public with easier and more convenient access to information regarding citizen petitions submitted to the FDA related to tobacco products, as well as the center's responses.

This webpage is a summary of one of the direct actions towards increased organizational transparency outlined by CTP Director Brian King in response to the Reagan-Udall Foundation report.
