This collection requires each tobacco product manufacturer or importer, or an agent, to report to FDA "all constituents, including smoke constituents, identified by [FDA] as harmful or potentially harmful to health in each tobacco product, and as applicable in the smoke of each tobacco product." These entities must also provide similar information at least 90 days prior to introducing the product into interstate commerce.

Pub.L. 111 - 111 31
Name of Law: The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the Tobacco Control Act)
Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an overall decrease of 2,125 hours and a corresponding decrease of 142 responses. We attribute this decrease to updated information on the number of submissions we received over the last few years. We removed the additional HPHC reports IC as these are no longer being submitted to FDA because as of August 2016, a court decision ruled that name and label changes (under substantial equivalence) do not render a product new.
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.
