SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Federal Register of March 10, 2023 (88 

FR 15174), FDA published a proposed 

rule entitled ‘‘Requirements for Tobacco 

Product Manufacturing Practice.’’ The 

proposed rule provided a 180-day 

period for submission of public 

comments. 

The Agency has received a request for 

an extension of the comment period for 

the proposed rule. The request 

conveyed concern that the comment 

period does not allow sufficient time to 

develop a meaningful or thoughtful 

response to the proposed rule. 

FDA has considered the request and 

is extending the comment period for the 

proposed rule for 30 days, until October 

6, 2023. FDA believes this extension is 

appropriate because of the complexity 

of the material being posted. The 

Agency believes that a 30-day extension 

allows adequate time for interested 

persons to submit comments.
