This information collection supports FDA import operations and regulations in 21 CFR part 1, subparts D & E. The regulations describe reporting elements that must be submitted for FDA-regulated products being imported into the United States, and related recordkeeping.
This a revision to the current information collection. If this proposed rule is finalized, we estimate that Tobacco Product Importers gathering and submitting the required STN will increase the burden by 371 hours (355 first year burden hours + 16 burden hours for subsequent years). This revision, when added to current burden for 0910-0046 results in total burden of 45,629,939 responses and 2,053,937 hours. These totals include, as instructed by HHS, the ONE-TIME burden for the No. of Responses per Respondent, Total Annual Responses and Total Hours divided by three.
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).
