FDA Updates Tobacco & Vape Application Forms Starting July 6th

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released six updated or new forms required for submitting new tobacco product applications through the Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) and Substantial Equivalence (SE) pathways. Effective July 6, 2025, all applicants must use these revised forms for their submissions. The agency stated that failure to use the latest versions or complete them properly will generally result in the FDA refusing to accept the application.

These updated forms, which incorporate public comments, are part of the FDA’s ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency of its tobacco product application review process. The new versions include enhanced instructions and request additional details on required information, aiming to help applicants submit higher-quality applications and facilitate a smoother FDA review.

The updated PMTA forms are FDA 4057, 4057a, and 4057b (for unique identifying information). For SE Reports, the forms are FDA 3965, 3965a (formerly 3964), and the new Form FDA 3965b (for unique identifying information). To assist with Forms 4057b and 3965b, the FDA has also released version 2.0 of its Product Form Validator Tool, allowing applicants to validate data consistency with FDA requirements before submission. Old versions of the forms will not be accepted after the 30-day notice period from the announcement.
