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;
[[Page 43449]]
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. 1/31/2026)--
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 our nation. Each year more than 480,000 deaths
occur as the result of cigarette smoking-related diseases. 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. 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. 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.
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 358. OMB approval
is requested for three years. There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
