## Summary

**This bill would create a new user-fee system for tobacco products** that raises total annual fees and reshapes how fees are split among product classes, adds data reporting from manufacturers, and requires new FDA reporting on youth e-cigarette education. - Families and youth: Requires FDA to report how much it spends on public education about teen e-cigarette use and electronic nicotine delivery systems so Congress can assess whether outreach funding is adequate. - Manufacturers and importers: Would raise total annual user fees to $712.0 million for FY2019–FY2026 and $826.2 million for FY2027, then tie future totals to the Consumer Price Index. It would also force detailed sales reporting and monthly data submissions starting in 2028 to determine fee shares. - FDA and other agencies: Would give the Secretary authority to set allocation formulas by regulation, add a new prohibited act in fee law, and require a memorandum of understanding to obtain lists of fee-paying manufacturers from other federal agencies. - Budget transparency: Adds new annual report items requiring a breakdown of expenditures on deemed tobacco versus certain combustible products and a fee breakdown for deemed-product manufacturers starting FY2029.
