This collection allows individuals to report potential violations of the Tobacco Control Act.
This is a new information collection. FDA's estimate of 250 hours to submit the information by phone, Internet form, paper form, by mail, smartphone application, or e-mail is based on the previous rate of reporting for FDA's cigarette flavor ban, reports received from the FDA's toll-free telephone number and e-mail address, and FDA experience. FDA expects the rate of calls and reporting for potential tobacco product violations to remain constant over the next three years.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
