Proposed Project List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the Manufacture of Cigarette Products (OMB Control No. 0920-0210)—Reinstatement—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 our Nation. Each year more than 480,000 deaths occur as the result of cigarette smoking-related diseases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (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) discussing the health effects of these ingredients. CDC requests OMB approval for a total estimated annualized burden of 358 hours. OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
