HHS has delegated responsibility for
implementing the required information
collection to CDC’s Office on Smoking
and Health. Respondents are not
required to submit specific forms;
however, they are required to meet
reporting guidelines and to submit the
ingredient report by chemical name and
Chemical Abstract Service (CAS)
Registration Number, consistent with
accepted reporting practices for other
companies that are 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.
Respondents may submit the required
information to CDC through a
designated representative. The
information collection is subject to strict
confidentiality provisions.
Ingredient reports for new SLT
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 Disc (CD),
three-inch floppy disk, or thumb drive.
Electronic mail submissions are not
accepted. Annual submission reports
are mailed to: Office on Smoking and

The oral use of smokeless tobacco
(SLT) products represents a significant
health risk. Smokeless tobacco products
contain carcinogens which can cause
cancer and a number of non-cancerous
oral conditions, as well as leading to
nicotine addiction and dependence.
Furthermore, SLT use is not a safe
substitute for cigarette smoking.
Adolescents who use smokeless tobacco
are more likely to become cigarette
smokers.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Office on Smoking
and Health (OSH), has 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 the use of
smokeless tobacco products and other
forms of tobacco through programs of
information, education and research.
The Comprehensive Smokeless
Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986
(CSTHEA, 15 U.S.C. 4401 et seq., Pub.
L. 99–252) requires each person who
manufactures, packages, or imports
smokeless tobacco products to provide
the Secretary of HHS with a list of
ingredients added to tobacco in the
manufacture of smokeless tobacco
products. CSTHEA further requires
submission of the quantity of nicotine
contained in each smokeless tobacco
product. Finally, the legislation
authorizes HHS to undertake research,
and to report to Congress (as deemed

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

a summary report to CDC with the

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

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.
