Proposed Project
List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the Manufacture of
Cigarette Products--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 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. The estimated burden per
response is 6.5 hours.
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.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are 501.
