Per the previous
terms of clearance, "CDC will work with FDAs Center for Tobacco
Products to identify duplication of tobacco product ingredient
collections. No later than one year from the date of this approval,
CDC will submit a brief report to OMB identifying redundancies in
the data collections along with strategies for eliminating
duplication and reducing burden on respondents." The last element
of these terms (strategies for eliminating duplication and reducing
burden on respondents) has not been provided. Therefore, the
collection is being returned as improperly submitted.

This is a legislatively mandated
information collection. The Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health
Education Act of 1986 (15 U.S.C. 4401 et seq. or Pub.L. 99-252)
requires each person who manufactures, packages, or imports
smokeless tobacco products to provide the Secretary of HHS with an
annual list of ingredients added to tobacco in the manufacture of
smokeless tobacco products, as well as a specification of quantity
of nicotine contained in each product. Responsibility for
collecting the information has been delegated to CDC's Office on
Smoking and Health.
US Code:
15
USC 4401 Name of Law: Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Education
Act
There is no change in how the
information is being collected. However, there is an increase
number of respondents, which increases the burden hour. There is no
change in the annual response burden fo each company, due to the
fact that some respondents report only one product, or brand, and
other respondents could report as many as 20, which burden and cost
for an individual respondent may differ from the overal
average.
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
