Tips for providing feedback 
We welcome all feedback. Here are some tips that may help.

  • Tell us what you support and what you disagree with.
  • Suggest specific language. This helps our team understand what changes you want.
  • Use examples to illustrate concerns and explain your feedback.
  • Provide supplemental information (references to support your concerns, such as regulations, sales data, market information, or brand and product information).
  • Offer solutions. Suggest ways we can address your concerns.



Next steps
After the comment period, we’ll use the comments to improve the formal draft rule and other rulemaking documents. We will also create a document called a Concise Explanatory Statement that includes all comments and our responses to comments. We expect to decide on rule adoption by September 2025.
