The Menthol-Flavored Tobacco Product Policy Evaluation will evaluate the impact of local policies restricting the sale of menthol-flavored tobacco products (hereafter referred to as menthol tobacco products). This evaluation will compare cities with policies restricting the sale of menthol tobacco products and cities with similar demographic characteristics without these policies. Outcomes of interest include commercial tobacco product use and related behaviors, perceived access to menthol tobacco products, and menthol tobacco product-related beliefs and perceptions. This information collection focuses on groups who use commercial menthol tobacco products at higher rates including people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or another sexual or gender minority (LGBTQ+) and racial and ethnic minority groups (persons identifying as American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, Hispanic or Latino, or multiracial).
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);

(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.
