Proposed Project
Annual Submission of the Ingredients Added to, and the Quantity of
Nicotine Contained in, Smokeless Tobacco Manufactured, Imported, or
Packaged in the U.S. (OMB No. 0920-0338, exp. 4/30/2011)--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 the use of smokeless tobacco products and other forms of tobacco
use through programs of information, education and research.
Since 1994, as required by the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco
Education Act of 1986 (CSTHEA, 15 U.S.C. 4401 et seq., Public Law 99-
252), CDC has collected information about the ingredients used in
smokeless tobacco products and their nicotine content. Respondents are
commercial smokeless tobacco product manufacturers, packagers, or
importers (or their representatives), who are required by the CSTHEA to
submit ingredient reports to HHS on an annual basis.
Respondents are not required to submit specific forms; however,
they are required to meet reporting guidelines and to submit the
ingredient report 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 and nicotine
data reports, 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
18,843.
