(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.
(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 adopt
comprehensive public health legislation because of tobacco's
unique position in the Nation's history and economy and the
need to prevent the sale, distribution, marketing and
advertising of tobacco products to persons under the minimum
legal age to purchase such products.
(13) The public interest requires a timely, fair,
equitable, and consistent result that will serve the public
interest by restricting throughout the Nation the sale,
distribution, marketing, and advertising of tobacco products
only to persons of legal age to purchase such products.
(14) Public health authorities estimate that the benefits
to the Nation of enacting Federal legislation to accomplish
these goals would be significant in human and economic terms.
(15) Reducing the use of tobacco by minors by 50 percent
would prevent well over 60,000 early deaths each year and save
up to $43 billion each year in reduced medical costs, improved
productivity, and the avoidance of premature deaths.
(16) 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.
(17) Tobacco advertising increases the size of the tobacco
market by increasing consumption of tobacco products including
increasing tobacco use by young people.
(18) Children are more influenced by tobacco advertising
than adults and they smoke the most advertised brands.
(19) Tobacco company documents indicate that young people
are an important and often crucial segment of the tobacco
market.
(20) Advertising restrictions will have a positive effect
on the smoking rates of young people.
(21) Restrictions on advertising are necessary to prevent
unrestricted tobacco advertising from undermining legislation
prohibiting access to young people.
(22) It is in the public interest for Congress to adopt
legislation to address the public health crisis created by
actions of the tobacco industry.

committee any petition submitted under subparagraph
(A). The advisory 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--
``(i) the date the petition was submitted
to the Secretary under subparagraph (A); or
``(ii) the day after the petition was
referred to an advisory committee,
whichever occurs later, the Secretary shall by order
either deny the petition or approve it.
``(C) The Secretary may approve--
``(i) a petition for an exemption for a
tobacco product from a requirement if the
Secretary determines that compliance with such
requirement is not required to assure that the
tobacco product will be in compliance with this
chapter; and
``(ii) a petition for a variance for a
tobacco product from a requirement if the
Secretary determines that the methods to be
used in, and the facilities and controls to be
used for, the manufacture, packing, and storage
of the tobacco product in lieu of the methods,
controls, and facilities prescribed by the
requirement are sufficient to assure that the
tobacco product will be in compliance with this
chapter.
``(D) An order of the Secretary approving a
petition for a variance shall prescribe such conditions
respecting the methods used in, and the facilities and
controls used for, the manufacture, packing, and
storage of the tobacco product to be granted the
variance under the petition as may be necessary to
assure that the tobacco product will be in compliance
with this chapter.
``(E) After the issuance of an order under
subparagraph (B) respecting a petition, the petitioner
shall have an opportunity for an informal hearing on
such order.
``(f) Exemption for Investigational Use.--The Secretary may exempt
tobacco products intended for investigational use from this chapter
under such conditions as the Secretary may prescribe by regulation.
``(g) 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 without regard to section 3324(a) and (b) of
title 31, United States Code, and section 5 of title 41, United States
Code.
``SEC. 907. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.
``(a) In General.--
``(1) Finding required.--The Secretary may adopt
performance standards for a tobacco product if the Secretary
finds that a performance standard is appropriate for the
protection of the public health. This finding shall be
determined with respect to the risks and benefits to the
population as a whole, including users and non-users 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.
``(2) Content of performance standards.--A performance
standard established under this section for a tobacco product--
``(A) shall include provisions to provide
performance that is appropriate for the protection of
the public health, including provisions, where
appropriate--
``(i) for the reduction of nicotine yields
of the product;
``(ii) for the reduction or elimination of
other harmful constituents or harmful
components of the product; or
``(iii) relating to any other requirement
under (B);
``(B) shall, where necessary to be appropriate for
the protection of the public health, include--
``(i) provisions respecting the
construction, components, ingredients, 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 performance characteristics of the tobacco
product; and
``(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
``(C) shall not render the tobacco product
unacceptable for adult consumption.
``(3) Periodic reevaluation of performance standards.--The
Secretary shall provide for periodic evaluation of performance
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 (2) by any person.
``(4) Involvement of other agencies; informed persons.--In
carrying out duties under this section, the Secretary shall, to
the maximum extent practicable--
``(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, or consumer organizations who
in the Secretary's judgment can make a significant
contribution.
``(b) Establishment of Standards.--
``(1) Notice.--
``(A) The Secretary shall publish in the Federal
Register a notice of proposed rulemaking for the
establishment, amendment, or revocation of any
performance standard for a tobacco product.
``(B) A notice of proposed rulemaking for the
establishment or amendment of a performance standard
for a tobacco product shall--
``(i) set forth a finding with supporting
justification that the performance standard is
appropriate for the protection of the public
health;
``(ii) set forth proposed findings with
respect to the risk of illness or injury that
the performance standard is intended to reduce
or eliminate; and
``(iii) invite interested persons to submit
an existing performance standard for the
tobacco product, including a draft or proposed
performance standard, for consideration by the
Secretary.
``(C) A notice of proposed rulemaking for the
revocation of a performance standard shall set forth a
finding with supporting justification that the
performance standard is no longer necessary to be
appropriate for the protection of the public health.
``(D) The Secretary shall consider all information
submitted in connection with a proposed standard,
including information concerning the countervailing
effects of the performance standard on the health of
adolescent tobacco users, adult tobacco users, or non-
tobacco 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, and shall issue the
standard if the Secretary determines that the standard
would be appropriate for the protection of the public
health.
``(E) The Secretary shall provide for a comment
period of not less than 60 days.
``(2) Promulgation.--
``(A) After the expiration of the period for
comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking published
under paragraph (1) respecting a performance standard
and after consideration of such comments and any report
from an advisory committee, the Secretary shall--
``(i) promulgate a regulation establishing
a performance standard and publish in the
Federal Register findings on the matters
referred to in paragraph (1); or
``(ii) publish a notice terminating the
proceeding for the development of the standard
together with the reasons for such termination.
``(B) A regulation establishing a performance
standard shall set forth the date or dates upon which
the standard shall take effect, but no such regulation
may take effect before one 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.
``(3) Power reserved to congress.--Because of the
importance of any decision to issue a regulation establishing a
performance standard--
``(A) eliminating all cigarettes, all smokeless
tobacco products, or any similar class of tobacco
products, or
``(B) requiring the reduction of nicotine yields of
a tobacco product to zero,
Congress expressly reserves to itself the power to make such a
decision.
``(4) Amendment; revocation.--
``(A) 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 paragraphs (1) and (2)(B) of this
subsection, amend or revoke a performance standard.
``(B) The Secretary may declare a proposed
amendment of a performance 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) Reference to advisory committee.--The Secretary--
``(A) may, on the Secretary's own initiative, refer
a proposed regulation for the establishment, amendment,
or revocation of a performance standard; or
``(B) shall, upon the request of an interested
person which demonstrates good cause for referral and
which is made before the expiration of the period for
submission of comments on such proposed regulation,
refer such proposed regulation to an advisory committee, for a
report and recommendation with respect to any matter involved
in the proposed regulation which requires the exercise of
scientific judgment. If a proposed regulation is referred under
this subparagraph to the advisory committee, the Secretary
shall provide the advisory committee with the data and information on
which such proposed regulation is based. The advisory committee shall,
within 60 days after the referral of a proposed regulation 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. A copy of such report and
recommendation shall be made public by the Secretary.
``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 a risk of substantial harm to the public
health exceeding the risks posed by tobacco products marketed
before the date of enactment of this chapter; 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.
``(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) 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) 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) of this section.
``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) of
this subsection 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) Except as provided in paragraph (3), 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) 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) of this section.
``SEC. 910. PREMARKET REVIEW OF CERTAIN TOBACCO PRODUCTS.
``(a) In General.--
``(1) Premarket approval required.--Approval under this
section of an application for premarket approval for any
tobacco product, other than a reduced risk product under
section 912, that is not commercially marketed (other than for
test marketing) in the United States as of the date of this
chapter's enactment, is required unless the manufacturer has
submitted a report under section 905(j), and the Secretary has
not suspended the distribution of such product under this
paragraph. Within 90 days of the submission of a report under
section 905(j), the Secretary may by order suspend the
distribution of the tobacco product that is the subject of that
report if the Secretary determines that there is a reasonable
likelihood that the tobacco product is not substantially
equivalent to a tobacco product commercially marketed (other
than for test marketing) in the United States as of the date of
this chapter's enactment, that is in compliance with the
requirements of this Act. If the Secretary fails to issue an
order within this 90-day period, then the tobacco product that
is the subject of that report shall be deemed to be
substantially equivalent to a predicate tobacco product. The
issuance of an order under this paragraph shall constitute
final agency action for purposes of section 702 of title 5, the
United States Code; provided, that the Secretary may rescind or
modify an order issued under this paragraph at any time.
``(2) Substantially equivalent defined.--
``(A) For purposes of this section and section
905(j), the term `substantially equivalent' or
`substantial equivalence' mean, 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 could not
reasonably be expected to increase the health
risks to consumers compared to a conventional
tobacco product that is commercially marketed
in the United States and that is in compliance
with the requirements of this Act.
``(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the term
`characteristics' means the materials, ingredients,
design, composition, heating source, or other features
of a tobacco product.
``(C) 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.
``(3) Health information.--
``(A) 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) 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. The communication that such product is a reduced risk product
may comply with requirements prescribed by the Secretary relating to
such communication, and the Secretary may require prior approval of the
communication, in each case in accordance with section 912.
``(b) Application.--
``(1) Contents.--An application for premarket approval
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 greater risk
than other tobacco products;
``(B) a full statement of the components,
ingredients, 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 performance
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 performance 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) Reference to 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) shall, upon the request of an applicant,
refer such application to an advisory committee and for
submission (within such period as the Secretary may establish)
of a report and recommendation respecting approval of the
application, together with all underlying data and the reasons
or basis for the recommendation.
``(c) Action on Application.--
``(1) Deadline.--
``(A) As promptly as possible, but in no event
later than 180 days after the receipt of an application
under subsection (b) of this section, the Secretary,
after considering the report and recommendation
submitted under paragraph (2) of such subsection,
shall--
``(i) issue an order approving the
application if the Secretary finds that none of
the grounds for denying approval specified in
paragraph (2) of this subsection applies; or
``(ii) deny approval of the application if
the Secretary finds (and sets forth the basis
for such finding as part of or accompanying
such denial) that one or more grounds for
denial specified in paragraph (2) of this
subsection apply.
``(B) An order approving an application for a
tobacco product may require as a condition to such
approval 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 approval.--The Secretary shall deny
approval of an application for a tobacco product 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 pose no
greater risk to the public health than currently
marketed tobacco products;
``(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 performance standard in effect
under section 907, compliance with which is a condition
to approval of the application, 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 place such application in approvable form
(which measures may include further research by the applicant
in accordance with one or more protocols prescribed by the
Secretary).
``(4) Basis for action.--
``(A) 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 one
or more clinical investigations by experts qualified by
training and experience to evaluate the tobacco
product.
``(B) 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 an
advisory committee, and after due notice and opportunity for
informal hearing to the holder of an approved application for a
tobacco product, issue an order withdrawing approval of the
application if the Secretary finds--
``(A) that the continued marketing of such tobacco
product poses greater risks to the public health than
other available products;
``(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 approved, 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 approved, 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 the application was approved, that
such tobacco product is not shown to conform in all
respects to a performance standard which is in effect
under section 907, compliance with which was a
condition to approval of 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 approval of the
application may, by petition filed on or before the thirtieth
day after the date upon which he receives notice of such
withdrawal, obtain review thereof in accordance with subsection
(e) of this section.
``(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 approved application
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
approval of the application approved under this section. If the
Secretary issues such an order, the Secretary shall proceed
expeditiously under paragraph (1) to withdraw such application.
``(e) Service of Order.--An order issued by the Secretary 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.
``SEC. 911. JUDICIAL REVIEW.
``(a) In General.--Not later than 30 days after--
``(1) the promulgation of a regulation under section 907
establishing, amending, or revoking a performance standard for
a tobacco product; or
``(2) a denial of an application for approval under section
910(c),
any person adversely affected by such regulation or order may file a
petition with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia or for the circuit wherein such person resides or has his
principal place of business for judicial review of such regulation or
order. A copy of the petition shall be transmitted by the clerk of the
court to the Secretary or other officer designated by the Secretary for
that purpose. The Secretary shall file in the court the record of the
proceedings on which the Secretary based the Secretary's regulation or
order and each record or order shall contain a statement of the reasons
for its issuance and the basis, on the record, for its issuance. For
purposes of this section, the term `record' means all notices and other
matter published in the Federal Register with respect to the regulation
or order reviewed, all information submitted to the Secretary with
respect to such regulation or order, proceedings of any panel or
advisory committee with respect to such regulation or order, any
hearing held with respect to such regulation or order, and any other
information identified by the Secretary, in the administrative
proceeding held with respect to such regulation or order, as being
relevant to such regulation or order.
``(b) Court May Order Secretary To Make Additional Findings.--If
the petitioner applies to the court for leave to adduce additional
data, views, or arguments respecting the regulation or order being
reviewed and shows to the satisfaction of the court that such
additional data, views, or arguments are material and that there were
reasonable grounds for the petitioner's failure to adduce such data,
views, or arguments in the proceedings before the Secretary, the court
may order the Secretary to provide additional opportunity for the oral
presentation of data, views, or arguments and for written submissions.
The Secretary may modify the Secretary's findings, or make new findings
by reason of the additional data, views, or arguments so taken and
shall file with the court such modified or new findings, and the
Secretary's recommendation, if any, for the modification or setting
aside of the regulation or order being reviewed, with the return of
such additional data, views, or arguments.
``(c) Standard of Review.--Upon the filing of the petition under
subsection (a) of this section for judicial review of a regulation or
order, the court shall have jurisdiction to review the regulation or
order in accordance with chapter 7 of title 5, United States Code, and
to grant appropriate relief, including interim relief, as provided in
such chapter. A regulation or order described in paragraph (1) or (2)
of subsection (a) of this section shall not be affirmed if it is found
to be unsupported by substantial evidence on the record taken as a
whole.
``(d) Finality of Judgment.--The judgment of the court affirming or
setting aside, in whole or in part, any regulation or order shall be
final, subject to review by the Supreme Court of the United States upon
certiorari or certification, as provided in section 1254 of title 28,
United States Code.
``(e) Other Remedies.--The remedies provided for in this section
shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies provided
by law.
``(f) Regulations and Orders Must Recite Basis in Record.--To
facilitate judicial review under this section or under any other
provision of law of a regulation or order issued under section 906,
907, 908, 909, 910, or 913, each such regulation or order shall contain
a statement of the reasons for its issuance and the basis, in the
record of the proceedings held in connection with its issuance, for its
issuance.
``SEC. 912. REDUCED RISK TOBACCO PRODUCTS.
``(a) Requirements.--
``(1) In general.--For purposes of this section, the term
`reduced risk tobacco product' means a tobacco product
designated by the Secretary under paragraph (2).
``(2) Designation.--
``(A) In general.--A product may be designated by
the Secretary as a reduced risk tobacco product if the
Secretary finds that the product is demonstrated to
significantly reduce harm to individuals caused by a
tobacco product and is otherwise appropriate to protect
public health, based on an application submitted by the
manufacturer of the product (or other responsible
person) that--
``(i)(I) demonstrates through testing on
animals and short-term human testing that use
of such product results in ingestion or
inhalation of a substantially lower yield of
toxic substances than use of another tobacco
product in the same or different category as
the proposed reduced risk product; or
