Title: Regulations Under the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 
Abstract: The Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 requires health warnings on all packages and advertisements for smokeless tobacco. The Act directs the Commission to issue implementing rules governing the format and display of the warnings. On November 4, 1986, the Commission issued its rules setting out the provisions for the size, color, typeface, and rotation of the statutory warnings at 51 FR 40005. In FY 2000, the Commission undertook a periodic review of the rules. The purpose of the review was to determine whether the rules continue to effectively meet the goals of the Act and to seek information concerning the rules, particularly their economic impact, in order to decide whether they should be amended. Staff plans to forward its recommendations to the Commission by fall 2009.
