Proposed Project

    Annual Submission of the Ingredients Added to, and the Quantity of 
Nicotine Contained in, Smokeless Tobacco Manufactured, Imported, or 
Packaged in the U.S. (OMB No. 0920-0338, exp. 4/30/2011)--Extension--
Office on Smoking and Health, National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office on 
Smoking and Health (OSH) has the primary responsibility for the 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) smoking and health 
program. HHS's overall goal is to reduce death and disability resulting 
from the use of smokeless tobacco products and other forms of tobacco 
use through programs of information, education and research.
    Since 1994, as required by the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco 
Education Act of 1986 (CSTHEA, 15 U.S.C. 4401 et seq., Public Law 99-
252), CDC has collected information about the ingredients used in 
smokeless tobacco products and their nicotine content. Respondents are 
commercial smokeless tobacco product manufacturers, packagers, or 
importers (or their representatives), who are required by the CSTHEA to 
submit ingredient reports to HHS on an annual basis.
    Respondents are not required to submit specific forms; however, 
they are required to meet reporting guidelines and to submit the 
ingredient report by chemical name and Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) 
Registration Number, consistent with accepted reporting practices for 
other companies currently required to report ingredients added to other 
consumer products. Typically, respondents submit a summary report to 
CDC with the ingredient information for multiple products, or a 
statement that there are no changes to their previously submitted 
ingredient report.
    Ingredient reports for new products are due at the time of first 
importation. Thereafter, ingredient reports are due annually on March 
31. Information is submitted to OSH by mailing a written report on the 
respondent's letterhead, by CD, three-inch floppy disk, or thumb drive. 
Electronic mail submissions are not accepted.
    Upon receipt and verification of the annual ingredient and nicotine 
data reports, OSH issues a Certificate of Compliance to the respondent. 
OSH also uses the information to report to the Congress (as deemed 
appropriate) discussing the health effects of these ingredients.
    In this Extension request, there are no changes to the estimated 
number of respondents, the estimated burden per response, or the 
information collection methods. There are no costs to respondents other 
than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 
18,843.
