The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for records regarding:
all emails sent to and from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids (CTFK) regarding "Protect Kids: Fight Flavored E-Cigarettes," a 2019 initiative funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies to combat youth vaping.
We will respond as soon as possible and may charge you a fee for processing your request. If your informational needs change, and you no longer need the requested records, please contact us to cancel your request, as charges may be incurred once processing of your request has begun. For more information on processing fees, please see http://www.fda.gov/RegulatoryInformation/FOI/FOIAFees/default.htm.
Due to an increase in the number of incoming requests, we may be unable to comply with the twenty-working-day time limit in this case, as well as the ten additional days provided by the FOIA. The actual processing time will depend on the complexity of your request and whether sensitive records, voluminous records, extensive search, and/or consultation with other HHS components or other executive branch agencies are involved. Please note that requests for medical device approval records (e.g. 510K, PMA, DEN) may take up to 18 to 24 months to process.
