FDA CASAA FDA Call to Action #2!

[Kent C]

Check this post from rolygate, http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/advocates-updates-usa/567740-action-alert-omb-oira-today.html.
It seems you have to add to the omb-oira e-mail subject line and resubmit your email.

That's included in Julie/CASAA's CTA:

"The next step is to take a copy of your letter and copy it into an email to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov

The subject line of the email should be: FDA Proposed Regulations Deeming tobacco Products, Agency Docket No. FDA-2014-N-0189; RIN: 0910-AG38."

... and:

"Please ensure that the title of your letter from Part I remains in the body of your email:
Re: The Food and Drug Administration Deems tobacco Products To Be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and tobacco Control Act; Regulations Restricting the Sale and Distribution of Tobacco Products and Required Warnings for Tobacco Product Packages and Advertisements."

Check your sent email and make sure it was in the subject line, from rolys post it was just added this afternoon.

ETA: It wasn't on mine, I missed it or it wasn't there at 1:40 this afternoon when I sent it.

I know what I sent....

 

[NorthOfAtlanta]

Kent, here is the subject line I copied earlier this afternoon from the CASAA CTA:

Comment on Paperwork Reduction Act in Connection with FDA Proposed Regulations Deeming Tobacco Products.

Here is the line from the second email I submitted, both were copied from section IIb:

FDA Proposed Regulations Deeming Tobacco Products, Agency Docket No. FDA-2014-N-0189; RIN: 0910-AG38.

Anyone who copied the subject line from the CTA will have it wrong as it was changed today per roly's post.

Oops...

My subject line reads: Comment on Paperwork Reduction Act in Connection with FDA Proposed Regulations Deeming Tobacco Products.

So I have to resend it to the same email address with this subject line?

FDA Proposed Regulations Deeming Tobacco Products, Agency Docket No. FDA-2014-N-0189; RIN: 0910-AG38.

Help!

 

[NorthOfAtlanta]

As far as I can tell from the last paragraph of roly's post here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/advocates-updates-usa/567740-action-alert-omb-oira-today.html the answer is yes.

 

[Katya]

This is confusing... It says that we also have to resubmit our comments to FDA? Where do these numbers need to go? In the comments? In addition to what we already posted?

I read Roly's post.

 

[NorthOfAtlanta]

Not sure about that myself, but since we submit comments to the FDA on a form for this regulation I would think we only need to do that in an email outside of the form.

 

[Katya]

OK, Roly says that CASAA is going to issue a new CTA. Can't find it anywhere...

 

[NorthOfAtlanta]

They changed the original, it now has the corrected wording for the subject line.

 

[Katya]

I saw that...

Still not clear if we need to resubmit our comments to FDA also?

Anyway, I resubmitted my email to OMB/OIRA with the new subject line:

FDA Proposed Regulations Deeming Tobacco Products, Agency Docket No. FDA-2014-N-0189; RIN: 0910-AG38.

I resent mine....

This is the updated version. Mine read "Comment on Paperwork Reduction Act in Connection with FDA Proposed Regulations Deeming Tobacco Products" only.

I wonder how many early submitters will get the message and resend the email in time...

 

[NorthOfAtlanta]

I just pm'ed sonicdsl to point out that if you don't read the last paragraph you won't know about it. The rest of the post was in my mental already done file and I almost didn't catch it.

 

[NorthOfAtlanta]

The yellow banner needs to state that if you have already sent the email you must read the entire post.

 

[NorthOfAtlanta]

I hope I don't get in trouble but since there is only 3 hrs left to submit emails to OMB i'm off to post it in the top 5 comments in here and in the leg forum.

 

[Katya]

I agree. I didn't even bother to check it--it was already in my "done" file.

If it hadn't been for you, I would have missed it.

Re-sent email

Whew!!

I know, I just posted this

Slightly OT:

If you emailed a comment to OMB please read the last paragraph in rolygates post here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/advocates-updates-usa/567740-action-alert-omb-oira-today.html , you may need to resend it by 12pm tonight.

In the top 4 comments here and in the legislature forum. Hope it catches most of those active enough to have sent an email.

Can you change the banner or get someone else who can?

 

[Susan W.]

I resent mine too. Hope I did it right.
