@ Kent C - I sure wish that source you quoted would make up their mind. /lol It's the same source I used when I wrote about the legislative procedure using. Yikes! :

my source article: http://www.cspnet.com/category-news...lemaking-process-and-fda-tobacco-deeming-regs

and the chart they reference at: http://www.reginfo.gov/public/reginfo/Regmap/regmap.pdf

Which leads us to what I think is still the law and that means our close friends and Amigo et all aka FDA Desk Killers are required to submit to Congress under the Congressional Review act at: 5 U.S. Code Chapter 8 - CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW OF AGENCY RULEMAKING | LII / Legal Information Institute

Which my other Amigo and that's Brother "Mitch" had a creative interpretation at Attempts to Use Congressional Review Act for Proposed Rules Threaten All Public Safeguards | Center for Effective Government

Like this "safeguard" mentioned by the Center:

"With resolutions of disapproval already on the rise, the consequences of setting this precedent are disturbing. By way of example, the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) rulemaking defining "tobacco product" to include not only cigarettes, but other tobacco products like e-cigarettes, could be targeted. Congress expressly authorized FDA to issue this rule in the Family Smoking Prevention and tobacco Control Act. Yet if a precedent is set that allows members of Congress to introduce a joint resolution to disapprove of rules under development, FDA's rule could be invalidated before the agency has even finished writing it. Not only would this outcome be contrary to what Congress intended, but millions of Americans would remain unprotected from the harmful health effects associated with tobacco products."

Yeahhhh, riiiight... the "harmful health effects associated with..." e-cigarettes.

Of Course, it goes on further in the next paragraph, this time...for the children!
"Congress could attack the rule before it is even finalized, the statutory deadline would be delayed for yet another year, leaving thousands of children at risk of being injured and possibly killed in tragic back-over collisions."
