Abstract: FDA's Center for Tobacco Products will conduct an experimental study to evaluate the relative efficacy of various graphic images depicting the risks of cigarette smoking for influencing consumers' attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, and intended behaviors related to cigarette smoking. The information collected from the study will inform the Agency's efforts to implement the graphic health warnings required by the Tobacco Control Act. Although graphic warnings were to become effective 15 months after the rule was issued, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia held, on August 24, 2012 that the rule in its current form violates the First Amendment. FDA expects that the information that FDA proposes to collect will be relevant to FDA's regulation of cigarette warnings no matter the final outcome of the current litigation. The current approval for this information collectino expired October 31, 2012, and FDA seeks to reinstate it and to reflect that there is no change in reporting burden. At this time, the Agency is not collecting any information, awaits OMB review and approval, and believes, therefore, that FDA is not in violation of the PRA.
