Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the
Manufacture of Cigarette Products to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a
``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations'' notice on September 27, 2021 to obtain comments from
the public and affected entities. CDC did not receive comments related
to the FRN. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for
public and affected entities' comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) 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 submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice

Proposed Project
List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the Manufacture of
Cigarette Products (OMB Control No. 0920-0210, Exp. 04/30/2022)--
Extension--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of premature
death and disability in the U.S. Each year more than 480,000 deaths
occur as the result of cigarette smoking-related diseases. The CDC,
Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) has the primary responsibility for
the HHS smoking and health program. Since 1986, as required by the
Comprehensive Smoking Education Act of 1984, which amended the Federal
Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act (15 U.S.C. 1335a), CDC has
collected information about the ingredients used in cigarette products.
Respondents are commercial cigarette manufacturers, packagers, or
importers (or their representatives), who are required by the CSEA 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.
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, OSH
issues a Certificate of Compliance to the respondent. CDC also uses the
information to report to Congress (as deemed appropriate) the health
effects of these ingredients.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 358 annual burden hours.
OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
