Regulations: Current Priorities
	Regulations: Longer-term Priorities
	Guidance Documents: Current PrioritiesCTP’s policy agenda outlines rules and guidance documents that are in development or planned for development. This agenda will be updated annually. The center will also periodically assess this agenda and prioritize, reprioritize, and when appropriate, deprioritize certain activities to reflect its recent activities, decisions, and desired future outcomes along with the current state of the tobacco marketplace. This process will be guided by the best available science, strict adherence to the law, and our fundamental mission to protect and promote the public health.

*This agenda does not create a legal obligation on FDA to: implement any regulation or guidance; adhere to schedules in this publication; or to confine their activities to the items that appear within it. FDA may withdraw any item on this agenda, and may issue or propose other regulations or guidances not included in this agenda, consistent with applicable law. FDA may take action on any item in the agenda before or after any dates listed.*
