    Proposed Project: List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the 
Manufacture of Cigarette Products, OMB No. 0920-0210 `` Reinstatement--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    The Comprehensive Smoking Education Act of 1984 (15 U.S.C. 1336 or 
Pub. L. 98-474) requires each person who manufactures, packages, or 
imports cigarettes to provide the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services (HHS) with a list of ingredients added to tobacco in the 
manufacture of cigarettes. This legislation also authorizes HHS to 
undertake research, and submit an annual report to Congress (as deemed 
appropriate) discussing the health effects of cigarette ingredients. 
HHS has delegated responsibility for the implementation of this Act to 
CDC's Office on Smoking and Health (OSH). OSH has collected ingredient 
reports on cigarette products since 1986. Cigarette smoking is the 
leading preventable cause of premature death and disability in our 
Nation. Each year more than 400,000 premature deaths occur as the 
result of cigarette smoking related diseases. The estimated annualized 
burden is 1,406 hours.
