FDA unofficial when will the deeming regs be released office poll.

[skoony]

there have been several references in these forums
lately indicating the FDA would be announcing their deeming
regs this month. being its almost the end of the month
and no announcement as of yet i decided to conduct
an ad hoc poll to see what my fellow ECF members think
the release date will be.
i'll guess first.
Friday 07/03/15 is a Federal holiday for the 4th if July
so my prediction would be Thursday 07/02/15 at 4:30 pm
EST.
i would like to hear your predictions and thoughts.

regards
mike

Never, after their extensive research they found that e-cigs are as closely related to tobacco as maple syrup is to lumber and e-cigs do not fall under the tobacco rules. Furthermore, they found in their studies that adults can make their own choices when it comes to consumer products and choose not to pursue the issue any further.

Sorry, I fell asleep at the keyboard and was having a happy dream.

The FDA still hasn't sent the Final Rule to the White House OMB, and OMB will take several months to review the Final Rule before it can be approved.

I think 'Evolving Dictatorship' is the only description I can come up with

I submit that "nanny" is a too weak euphemism. Nannies generally do what you pay them to, they don't get a mind of their own and come after you with SWAT teams. A stronger word is needed.

How would "Overlords" work for you?

Or maybe "Child Protective Services" would suffice.
Wait, perhaps that should be "Human Protective Services" instead.

Since Child Protective Services already exists, and does some good work sometimes.

My guess remains the same and has never changed. The fourth quarter of 2015. Along with Bill's valid point about OMB, I would expect to see more FDA bribed scientific studies released before the final rule appears in the Federal Registry. ALL carefully planned by the FDA to garner as much "support" as possible. I would also NOT expect POTUS to nominate a new FDA Commissioner until after the final rule is published and becomes the law of the land aka the "nanny state". A confirmation hearing hopefully means Public scrutiny and the desk killers don't want that kind of push back, which in their own twisted view, adversely effects the final rule and what Congress may decide.

Just my 2 cents.

I think @DrMA is calling them the right names.

This date sounds about right. At about the same time, the President will be threatening to veto the 2016 budget, and congress will be talking about shutting down the government.

What a nice dream!

Go Congress Shutdown This House Of Ill Repute Called Govment (purposely misspelled cause it ain't government)!

They'll do it on a Friday afternoon.

Assuming that Bill is correct about the OMB taking several months to review the Rule, it could be at least the end of the year before it gets published. I hope we find out when the Final Rule is sent to OMB.

If there are no changes to the proposed rule, does it still have to go back to OMB?
