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 9, 2025 to obtain comments from
the public and affected entities. CDC received no public comments
related to the previous notice. 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
[[Page 24242]]
(e) Assess information collection costs.

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

Proposed Project
List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the Manufacture of
Cigarette Products (OMB Control No. 0920-0210)--Reinstatement--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. The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (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) discussing
the health effects of these ingredients.
CDC requests OMB approval for a total estimated annualized burden
of 358 hours. OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no
costs to respondents other than their time.
