§ 387o. Regulation requirement
(a) Testing, reporting, and disclosure
Not later than 36 months after June 22, 2009,
the Secretary shall promulgate regulations
under this chapter that meet the requirements
of subsection (b).
(b) Contents of rules
The regulations promulgated under subsection
(a)—
(1) shall require testing and reporting of to-
bacco product constituents, ingredients, and
additives, including smoke constituents, by
brand and subbrand that the Secretary deter-
mines should be tested to protect the public
health, provided that, for purposes of the test-
ing requirements of this paragraph, tobacco
products manufactured and sold by a single to-
bacco product manufacturer that are identical
in all respects except the labels, packaging de-
sign, logo, trade dress, trademark, brand
name, or any combination thereof, shall be
considered as a single brand; and
(2) may require that tobacco product manu-
facturers, packagers, or importers make dis-
closures relating to the results of the testing
of tar and nicotine through labels or adver-
tising or other appropriate means, and make
disclosures regarding the results of the testing
of other constituents, including smoke con-
stituents, ingredients, or additives, that the
Secretary determines should be disclosed to
the public to protect the public health and
will not mislead consumers about the risk of
tobacco-related disease.
(c) Authority
The Secretary shall have the authority under
this subchapter to conduct or to require the
testing, reporting, or disclosure of tobacco prod-
uct constituents, including smoke constituents.
(d) Small tobacco product manufacturers
(1) First compliance date
The initial regulations promulgated under
subsection (a) shall not impose requirements
on small tobacco product manufacturers be-
fore the later of—
(A) the end of the 2-year period following
the final promulgation of such regulations;
and
(B) the initial date set by the Secretary
for compliance with such regulations by
manufacturers that are not small tobacco
product manufacturers.
(2) Testing and reporting initial compliance pe-
riod
(A) 4-year period
The initial regulations promulgated under
subsection (a) shall give each small tobacco
product manufacturer a 4-year period over
which to conduct testing and reporting for
all of its tobacco products. Subject to para-
graph (1), the end of the first year of such 4-
year period shall coincide with the initial
date of compliance under this section set by
the Secretary with respect to manufacturers
that are not small tobacco product manufac-
turers or the end of the 2-year period fol-
lowing the final promulgation of such regu-
lations, as described in paragraph (1)(A). A
small tobacco product manufacturer shall be
required—
(i) to conduct such testing and reporting
for 25 percent of its tobacco products dur-
ing each year of such 4-year period; and
(ii) to conduct such testing and reporting
for its largest-selling tobacco products (as
determined by the Secretary) before its
other tobacco products, or in such other
order of priority as determined by the Sec-
retary.
(B) Case-by-case delay
Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the
Secretary may, on a case-by-case basis,
delay the date by which an individual small
tobacco product manufacturer must conduct
testing and reporting for its tobacco prod-
ucts under this section based upon a showing
of undue hardship to such manufacturer.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the
Secretary shall not extend the deadline for a
small tobacco product manufacturer to con-
duct testing and reporting for all of its to-
bacco products beyond a total of 5 years
after the initial date of compliance under
this section set by the Secretary with re-
spect to manufacturers that are not small
tobacco product manufacturers.
(3) Subsequent and additional testing and re-
porting
The regulations promulgated under sub-
section (a) shall provide that, with respect to
any subsequent or additional testing and re-
porting of tobacco products required under
this section, such testing and reporting by a
small tobacco product manufacturer shall be
conducted in accordance with the timeframes
described in paragraph (2)(A), except that, in
the case of a new product, or if there has been
a
modification
described
in
section
387j(a)(1)(B) of this title of any product of a
small tobacco product manufacturer since the
last testing and reporting required under this
section, the Secretary shall require that any
subsequent or additional testing and reporting
be conducted in accordance with the same
timeframe applicable to manufacturers that
are not small tobacco product manufacturers.
