 Dear Mr. Zeller,

I am writing as a consumer to request an extension for the comment period of the Food and Drug Administration's proposed deeming regulations on e-cigarette products. I am respectfully requesting that the comment period for the proposed rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period.

The proposed rule raises a number of significant issues, questions and concerns which as a consumer of these products, I feel the need to address this in a thoughtful concerted manner. I will provide my thoughts and comments on each of them. While my time is extremely limited, I am currently working on my formal comment, but as you know, it takes time. I know that the FDA took many years to come up with the proposed rules, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public ample time to comment on the proposed regulations. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and has exercised this authority on other occasions. I ask that you do so here. This way all consumers will have the opportunity to provide their comments on the proposed regulations.

I appreciate your consideration in this matter.

Regards.
