The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released a revised guidance for companies about submitting plans for cigarette packaging and advertising. This update, stemming from a court order, suggests that companies send their plans to the FDA by March 16, 2021, following a change in the effective date of related regulations to January 14, 2022. The guidance is part of the Tobacco Control Act's requirements, ensuring cigarette packages and advertisements carry new warning labels and graphics to inform the public about health risks. The FDA clarifies that this guidance reflects current thinking but is not binding, allowing companies to take different approaches if they meet legal requirements.

Comments on this extension request can be submitted to the SEC or through specified online platforms within 30 days of this notice's publication.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking public comments on an information collection activity related to student enrollment ratios in educational institutions.

Comments are open until January 2, 2025, and institutions must periodically submit data to confirm compliance.
