Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–7570 or send
comments to CDC, LeRoy Richardson,
1600 Clifton Road, MS D–74, Atlanta,
GA 30333 or send an email to omb@
cdc.gov.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques

cigarette products since 1986.
Respondents are commercial cigarette
manufacturers, packagers, or importers,
or their designated representatives.
Respondents are not required to submit
specific forms; however, they are
required to submit a list of all
ingredients used in their products. CDC
requires the ingredient report to be
submitted by chemical name and
Chemical Abstract Service (CAS)
Registration Number, consistent with
accepted reporting practices for other
companies currently required to report
ingredients added to other consumer
products. Typically, respondents submit
a summary report to CDC with the
ingredient information for multiple
products, or a statement that there are
no changes to their previously
submitted ingredient report. The
estimated burden per response is 6.5
hours. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 501.
Ingredient reports for new products
are due at the time of first importation.
Thereafter, ingredient reports are due
annually on March 31. Information is
submitted to OSH by mailing a written
report on the respondent’s letterhead,
which may be accompanied by a
compact disk (CD), three-inch floppy
disk, or thumb drive. Annual ingredient
reports should be mailed to: Office on
Smoking and Health, Attention: FCLAA
Program Manager, National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, 4770 Buford Highway,
NE., MS F–79 Atlanta, GA 30341–3717.
Electronic mail submissions are not
accepted. Upon receipt and verification
of the annual ingredient report, OSH
issues a Certificate of Compliance to the
respondent.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval is requested for three years.

Proposed Project

Cigarette smoking is the leading
preventable cause of premature death
and disability in the United States. Each
year, more than 443,000 premature
deaths occur as the result of diseases
related to cigarette smoking. The
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Office on Smoking
and Health (OSH) has the primary
responsibility for the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
smoking and health program. HHS’s
overall goal is to reduce death and
disability resulting from cigarette
smoking and other forms of tobacco use
through programs of information,
education and research.
The Comprehensive Smoking
Education Act of 1984 (CSEA, 15 U.S.C.
1336 or Pub. L. 98–474) requires each
person who manufactures, packages, or
imports cigarettes to provide the
Secretary of HHS with a list of
ingredients added to tobacco in the
manufacture of cigarettes. The
legislation also authorizes HHS to
undertake research, and to report to the
Congress (as deemed appropriate)
discussing the health effects of these
ingredients.
HHS has delegated responsibility for
implementing the CSEA’s ingredient
reporting requirements to CDC’s OSH.
OSH has collected ingredient reports on

Surveys of State, Tribal, Local, and
Territorial (STLT) Governmental
Agencies (OMB Control No. 0920–0879,
Exp. 3/31/2013)—Revision—Office of
the Director, Office for State, Tribal
Local and Territorial Support (OSTLTS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC’s mission is to create the
expertise, information, and tools that
people and communities need to protect
their health—through health promotion,
prevention of disease, injury and
disability, and preparedness for new
health threats. CDC seeks to accomplish
its mission by collaborating with
partners throughout the nation and the
world to: Monitor health, detect and
investigate health problems, conduct
research to enhance prevention, develop
and advocate sound public health
policies, implement prevention
strategies, promote healthy behaviors,
foster safe and healthful environments,
and provide leadership and training.
CDC is requesting a three-year
approval for a generic clearance to
collect information related to domestic
public health issues and services that

affect and/or involve state, tribal, local
and territorial (STLT) government
entities. The respondent universe is
comprised of STLT governmental staff
or delegates acting on behalf of a STLT
agency involved in the provision of
essential public health services in the
United States. Delegate is defined as a
governmental or non-governmental
agent (agency, function, office or
individual) acting for a principal or
submitted by another to represent or act
on their behalf. The STLT agency is
represented by a STLT entity or delegate
with a task to protect and/or improve
the public’s health. Information will be
used to assess situational awareness of
current public health emergencies; make
decisions that affect planning, response
and recovery activities of subsequent
emergencies; fill CDC gaps in
knowledge of programs and/or STLT
governments that will strengthen
surveillance, epidemiology, and
laboratory science; improve CDC’s
support and technical assistance to
states and communities. CDC will
conduct brief data collections, across a
range of public health topics related to
essential public health services.
CDC estimates up to 30 data
collections with STLT governmental
staff or delegates, and 10 data
collections with local/county/city
governmental staff or delegates will be
conducted on an annual basis. Ninetyfive percent of these data collections
will be web-based and five percent
telephone, in-person, and focus groups.
The total annualized burden of 54,000
hours is based on the following
estimates.
