This is a request for OMB renewal for FDA's regulations for cigarettes and smokeless tobacco containing nicotine. The codified regulations at 21 CFR Part 1140 are authorized by section 102 of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) (Public Law 111-31).
This collection includes reporting information requirements for § 1140.30, which directs persons to notify FDA if they intend to use a form of advertising that is not addressed in the regulations. As the public is being advised through the FDA guidance entitled "Enforcement Policy Concerning Certain Regulations Restricting the Sale and Distribution of Cigarettes and Smokeless Tobacco," the recordkeeping and disclosure requirements under section 1140.32 are not being enforced, and therefore, FDA is including 2 hours of burden as placeholders with this provision.
The estimated burden hours have been reduced from 125,007 hours to 302 hours. The reduction reflects:
⢠FDA's is not enforcing § 1140.32 (for a reduction of 125,004 hours), and
⢠The expected increase of 299 hours due to the expectation that 300 respondents will notify the FDA under § 1140.30 if they intend to use an advertising medium that is not listed in the regulation
(Note that FDA has placed two 1-hour place holders for burden in § 1140.32 to reflect FDA enforcement discretion.)
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.
