Approval is
given consistent with the understanding that when communicating or
publishing research outcomes associated with this clearance, CTP
will present: a) the unweighted distribution of sociodemographic
and geographic characteristics of the sample that responded to a
given survey, and b) study results based on both weighted and
unweighted data. Consistent with obligations under HHS and OMB’s
Information Quality Guidelines, CTP will assess the quality of the
information generated by collections conducted under this OMB
Control Number for each regulatory or policy purpose under
consideration. This three year clearance covers only survey
replenishment and studies as currently described. Additional

The U. S. Food and Drug
Administration’s (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) proposes
to established a high-quality, national panel of about 4,000
tobacco users. The panel will includes individuals who agree to
participate in up to 8 experimental or observational studies over a
3-year period to assess consumers’ responses to tobacco marketing,
warning statements, product labels, and other communications about
tobacco products. CTP proposes the establishment of the panel of
consumers because currently existing panels have a number of
significant limitations for use in tracking tobacco users.
FDA is requesting an extension
on the currently approved information collection request for
remaining planned studies, panel maintenance and replenishment
activities and non-substantive changes to update the estimated
burden for an additional year of panel replenishment. The average
annual burden hours will increase by 1,699 hours, from 4,435 to
6,134 hours.
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.
