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

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.

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.

What a nice dream!

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.

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 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.

I think @DrMA is calling them the right names.

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

Found this... don't know if it answers your question though :- )
FAQ

ICR Dashboard

Q. What is the ICR Dashboard?

A. The ICR Dashboard is a component of Reginfo.gov that provides an up-to-date and easy-to-follow graphical representation of information collections currently under review. The ICR Dashboard displays these information collections by agency, length of review, and type of ICR.
Q. What are the different types of information collection requests displayed on the ICR Dashboard?

A. Seven types of information collection requests are displayed on the ICR Dashboard:

• New collection - This is an agency request for a new information collection and OMB Control Number.
• Revision - This is an agency request for OMB approval of a substantive revision to a currently approved information collection. Such revisions are generally a result of changes required by statute or of agency action. To ensure that the public record is accurate, agencies must submit, and OMB must review, documentation of all proposed revisions to a currently approved collection before those revisions may be implemented. If the agency is considering significant or substantive revisions to the collection, it must provide the public with an opportunity to comment on the proposed revisions, as it would with a new collection.
• Extension without change - This is an agency request for OMB to extend approval of an existing collection. The PRA requires that agencies use the Federal Register notice-and-comment process to extend OMB’s approval at least every three years.
• Reinstatement without change - This is an agency request for OMB approval of an information collection for which the agency previously obtained OMB approval, but which the agency subsequently decided to discontinue. This request allows the agency to use the same collection under the OMB Control Number provided with the original approval.
• Reinstatement with change - This is an agency request for OMB approval of an information collection for which the agency previously obtained OMB approval, but which the agency subsequently decided to discontinue. This request allows the agency to use a revised version of the same information collection under the OMB Control Number provided with the original approval.
• Existing collection in use without OMB Control Number - This is an agency request for OMB approval of an information collection that an agency has begun.
• Discontinue - This is an agency request that OMB discontinue its approval of an information collection. In most cases, this request is a result of an agency decision that an information collection is no longer necessary.

In addition to these categories, information collection review data on Reginfo.gov include agency requests for non-material or non-substantive changes to currently approved information collections. Although such requests may result in changes in burden, they are deemed by OMB to be technical or ministerial. For these insignificant or non-substantive changes, the agency is not required to seek public comment.
