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.

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.
