Proposed Project

    List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the Manufacture of 
Cigarette Products (OMB 0920-0210 Exp. 04/30/2011)--
Extension--Office on Smoking and Health, National Center for Chronic 
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention, (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office on 
Smoking and Health (OSH) has the primary responsibility for the 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) smoking and health 
program. HHS's overall goal is to reduce death and disability resulting 
from cigarette smoking and other forms of tobacco use through programs 
of information, education and research.
    Since 1986, as required by the Comprehensive Smoking Education Act 
of 1984 (CSEA, 15 U.S.C. 1336 or Pub. L. 98-474), 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

[[Page 1618]]

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. Typically, respondents submit a summary report to CDC with 
the ingredient information for multiple products, or a statement that 
there are no changes to their previously submitted ingredient report.
    Ingredient reports for new products are due at the time of first 
importation. Thereafter, ingredient reports are due annually on March 
31. Information is submitted to OSH by mailing a written report on the 
respondent's letterhead, by CD, three-inch floppy disk, or thumb drive. 
Electronic mail submissions are not accepted.
    Upon receipt and verification of the annual ingredient report, OSH 
issues a Certificate of Compliance to the respondent. OSH also uses the 
information to report to the Congress (as deemed appropriate) 
discussing the health effects of these ingredients.
    In this Extension request, there are no changes to the estimated 
number of respondents, the estimated burden per response, or the 
information collection methods. There are no costs to respondents other 
than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 930.
