By Dec. 31 of each year, tobacco product manufacturers use FDA's Tobacco Registration and Listing Module (TRLM) to fulfill certain registration and listing requirements. As this year's deadline approaches, FDA is excited to share details about FDA's new "Tobacco Registration and Listing Module Next Generation (TRLM NG)" to better assist industry stakeholders submitting information. The new module went live in August and is part of the agency's ongoing efforts to improve usability of its systems for industry. TRLM NG is immediately available for use and replaces the original model. Users do not need to re-enter their registration and product listing information as data that has already been submitted to FDA has automatically transferred to TRLM NG. TRLM NG has been modernized to streamline the process to register and update tobacco establishments and tobacco product listings. With the new system, users will see several notable updates and improvements, including: - Users have the capability to manage multiple active and draft registrations in a single account;
- Dashboard capabilities include a summarized view of registration status and associated establishments;
- Resources provided to assist users through the listing process;
- Faster processing and loading speed for searching, filtering, and exporting products and material files listings;
- A single screen view of product actions with the option to add, edit, and upload, as well as make changes in bulk, to process requests at a faster rate; and
- Autoscaling capability to handle large data volumes and number of users.
The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act requires the owners and operators of domestic establishments that are engaged in manufacturing tobacco products to 1) register with FDA and 2) submit product listings. Following the effective date of the "deeming" final rule on Aug. 8, 2016, this requirement applies to manufacturers of all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, cigars and hookah. By Dec. 31 of each year, all registered tobacco manufacturers are required to register with FDA through TRLM NG module or by paper submission. Twice each year – by June 30 and Dec. 31 – all registered domestic tobacco manufacturers are required to update their product listings if they have made certain changes. Paper forms (FDA Form 3741 or FDA Form 3741a) must be mailed to CTP's Document Control Center. For more detailed information, users may reference Tobacco Registration and Product Listing Next Generation (TRLM NG) Instructions. On Aug. 31, 2020, users should have received an email from TRLM NG Support with instructions for activating their TRLM NG account by resetting their passwords. Users who cannot locate the email may want to check their "Junk/Spam" folders. For issues with account activation or any other questions about TRLM NG, users should contact the TRLM NG Helpdesk at CTP-TRLM-NG-Helpdesk@fda.hhs.gov. |
