ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission publishes the Report of the Tar, 
Nicotine, and Carbon Monoxide Content of 1107 Varieties of Domestic 
Cigarettes.

DATES: June 29, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the full report are available from the FTC's 
Public Reference Branch, Room 130, 6th St. and Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20580. (202) 326-3222.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Phillip S. Priesman, Attorney, Federal Trade Commission, Bureau of 
Consumer Protection, 6th St. and Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington, 
D.C. 20580. Telephone (202) 326-2484.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These are the most recent test results of 
the tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide levels of the smoke of domestic 
cigarettes reported by the FTC. This Report contains data on 1107 
varieties of cigarettes manufactured and sold in the United States in 
1993. The Tobacco Institute Testing Laboratory (TITL), a private 
laboratory operated by the cigarette industry, conducted the tar, 
nicotine, and carbon monoxide testing for the widely-available domestic 
cigarette varieties. This testing was conducted under the review of a 
representative of the FTC through periodic unannounced inspections. 
TITL provided the results to the respective cigarette companies. The 
companies provided the data generated by TITL regarding their own 
brands to the FTC in response to compulsory process issued by the 
Commission. Cigarette smoke from generic, private label, and not-
widely-available cigarettes was not tested by TITL, but was tested by 
the cigarette companies and provided under compulsory process to the 
FTC. The methodology, processes, and procedures that the companies and 
TITL employed are the same as those the Commission has followed in the 
past.

    By direction of the Commission.
Donald S. Clark,
Secretary.
