B. COLLECTIONS OF INFORMATION EMPLOYING STATISTICAL METHODS


1. Respondent Universe and Sampling Methods


This data collection does not require the use of statistical methods to select respondents. Responses are required from all cigarette manufacturers, distributors, and importers in the U.S. (referred to collectively as “manufacturers” in this Information Collection Request).


2. Procedures for the Collection of Information


Each manufacturer, distributor, or importer is required to submit information about the ingredients in each product in its cigarette product line. The information must conform to the specifications established by the Recommended Cigarette Ingredient Report Format (Attachment 4a), however, manufacturers are not required to submit specific forms. Typically, manufacturers submit a summary report to CDC by mail or fax with the ingredient information for multiple products, often through a designated entity such as legal counsel. The submission must be received on letterhead belonging to the manufacturer or designated representative. Reports may also be submitted via facsimile, but all faxed lists should be followed up with a mailed original. In addition, data may be submitted to CDC by mailing a CD, 3-inch floppy disk, or thumb drive. Electronic mail submissions are not accepted.


The original submission deadline was December 31. In 1994, HHS published an additional Federal Register Notice (November 8, 1994, vol. 59, p. 55669-55670) that changed the due date from December 31 to March 31. A copy of this notice is provided in Attachment 8.


Currently, information for each calendar year is submitted no later than March 31 of the following year. OSH may follow up by sending a request for additional information (Attachment 4b) if a submission contains incomplete entries or possible errors.


Upon submission and verification of its complete ingredient list, OSH sends a Certificate of Compliance to the manufacturer, distributor, or importer (Attachment 6).


3. Methods to Maximize Response Rates and Deal with No Response


Response is required. Failure to respond will result in legal non-compliance, and inability of manufacturers, packagers, and importers to obtain the Certificate of Compliance required for state-based commercial activity.


4. Tests of Procedures or Methods to be Undertaken


Not applicable. OSH plans to continue the data collection using previously filed information collection methods.
