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 27, 2021 to obtain comments from 
the public and affected entities. CDC did not receive comments related 
to the FRN. 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
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct 
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in 
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management 
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)

Proposed Project

    List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the Manufacture of 
Cigarette Products (OMB Control No. 0920-0210, Exp. 04/30/2022)--
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 the U.S. Each year more than 480,000 deaths 
occur as the result of cigarette smoking-related diseases. The 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) the health 
effects of these ingredients.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 358 annual burden hours. 
OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time.
