Approved without change for 1 year consistent with the understanding that CDC will work with FDA¿s Center for Tobacco Products to identify duplication of tobacco product ingredient collections. Within this year, CDC will work with FDA, OMB, and HHS to eliminate duplication and reduce burden on respondents. As part of this effort, HHS, including CDC and FDA, should determine why the existing collection of information by the Center for Tobacco Products (OMB Control Number 0910-0650, and a pending ICR titled Reporting Harmful and Potentially Harmful Constituents in Tobacco Products and Tobacco Smoke Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act) would not eliminate the need for and the practical utility of CDC¿s annual collection of this information. HHS should also consider whether the authority delegated to CDC for this collection should be delegated to the Center for Tobacco Products.

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.
