RE: Request to extend the comment period for: “Deeming Tobacco Products to Be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act,” Docket No. FDA- 2014-N-0189

Dear Director Zeller: 

As an individual consumer, I am writing to request an extension to 180 days of the comment period for the FDA’s Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. 

The current 75-day time period is insufficient to permit a considered response based on recent, substantial, and science-based research. An extension should provide sufficient time to provide valid feedback and will not significantly delay regulatory initiatives. 

Thank you for any consideration you may be able to extend.

Sincerely,

Patti Cleary
