SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the Manufacture of
Cigarette Products (OMB Control No. 0920-0210, Exp. 4/30/2022)--

Promotion (NCCDPHP),

Background and Brief Description
Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of premature
death and disability in our nation. Each year more than 480,000 deaths
occur as the result of cigarette smoking-related diseases. The CDC's
Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) is the lead federal agency for
comprehensive tobacco prevention and control. Since 1986, as required
by the Comprehensive Smoking Education Act (CSEA) of 1984, which
amended the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act (FCLAA), 15
U.S.C. 1335a, CDC has collected information about the ingredients used
in cigarette products. HHS has delegated responsibility for
implementing the required information collection to CDC's OSH.
Respondents are commercial cigarette manufacturers, packagers, or
importers (or their representatives), who are required by FCLAA to
submit ingredient reports to HHS on an annual basis.
Respondents are not required to submit specific forms; however,
they are required to submit a list of all ingredients used in their
products. CDC requires the ingredient report to be submitted by
chemical name and Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registration Number,
consistent with accepted reporting practices for other companies
currently required to report ingredients added to other consumer
products. The information collected is subject to strict
confidentiality provisions.
Ingredient reports are due annually on March 31. Information is
submitted to CDC by mailing or faxing a written report on the
respondent's letterhead. All faxed lists should be followed up with a
mailed original. Electronic mail submissions are not accepted. Mail
Annual Ingredient Submissions to Attention: FCLAA Program Manager,
Office on Smoking and Health, National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, 4770 Buford Highway NE, MS S107-7, Atlanta, GA 30341-3717.
Upon receipt and verification of the annual ingredient report, CDC
issues a Certificate of Compliance to the respondent. As deemed
appropriate by the Secretary of HHS, HHS is authorized to use the
information to report to Congress the health effects of ingredients,
research activities related to the health effects of ingredients, and
other information that the Secretary determines to be of public
interest.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are 358. OMB approval is requested
for three years.
