SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of June 15, 2017 (82 FR 27487), FDA 
published a notice of availability of the first batch of documents from 
modified risk tobacco product applications (MRTPAs) submitted by Philip 
Morris Products S.A. and gave the public 180 days to comment on the 
applications. In that notice, FDA announced that it would post the 
remaining MRTPA documents on a rolling basis as they were redacted in 
accordance with applicable laws and that it would extend the comment 
period if fewer than 30 days remained when the last batch of 
application documents was posted. In this notice, FDA is extending the 
period for public comment. Once all documents from the MRTPAs, 
including amendments, are posted, FDA intends to issue a notice in the 
Federal Register announcing when the comment period will close, which 
will be no earlier than 30 days from the date the last batch of 
application documents is posted. As stated in the Federal Register 
notice of June 15, 2017, FDA believes that this comment period is 
appropriate given the volume and complexity of the applications being 
posted.
    FDA is required by section 911(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 387k(e)) to make an MRTPA 
available to the public (except for matters in the application that are 
trade secrets or otherwise confidential commercial information) and to 
request comments by interested persons on the information contained in 
the application and on the

[[Page 55617]]

label, labeling, and advertising accompanying the application. The 
determination of whether an order is appropriate under section 911(g) 
of the FD&C Act is based on the scientific information submitted by the 
applicant as well as the scientific evidence and other information that 
is made available to the Agency, including through public comments.

II. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the Internet may access the application 
documents at: http://www.fda.gov/TobaccoProducts/Labeling/MarketingandAdvertising/ucm546281.htm.
