Manufacture of Cigarette Products to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval. CDC 

previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data

Comment and Recommendations’’ 

notice on September 27, 2021 to obtain 

comments from the public and affected 

entities. CDC did not receive comments 

related to the FRN. This notice serves to

proposed information collection project. 

The Office of Management and Budget

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility;

agencies estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(d) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including, through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses; and

costs.

Proposed Project 

List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco 

in the Manufacture of Cigarette Products 

(OMB Control No. 0920–0210, Exp. 04/ 

30/2022)—Extension—National Center 

for Chronic Disease Prevention and 

Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Cigarette smoking is the leading 

preventable cause of premature death 

and disability in the U.S. Each year 

more than 480,000 deaths occur as the 

result of cigarette smoking-related 

diseases. The CDC, Office on Smoking 

and Health (OSH) has the primary 

responsibility for the HHS smoking and 

health program. Since 1986, as required 

by the Comprehensive Smoking 

Education Act of 1984, which amended 

the Federal Cigarette Labeling and 

Advertising Act (15 U.S.C. 1335a), CDC 

has collected information about the 

ingredients used in cigarette products. 

Respondents are commercial cigarette 

manufacturers, packagers, or importers 

(or their representatives), who are 

required by the CSEA to submit 

ingredient reports to HHS on an annual 

basis. 

Respondents are not required to 

submit specific forms; however, they are 

required to submit a list of all 

ingredients used in their products. CDC 

requires the ingredient report to be 

submitted 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. 

Ingredient reports are due annually on 

March 31. Information is submitted to 

CDC by mailing or faxing a written 

report on the respondent’s letterhead. 

All faxed lists should be followed up 

with a mailed original. Electronic mail 

submissions are not accepted. Mail 

Annual Ingredient submissions to 

Attention: FCLAA Program Manager, 

Office on Smoking and Health, National 

Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 

and Health Promotion, Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention, 4770 

Buford Highway NE, MS S107–7, 

Atlanta, GA 30341–3717. 

Upon receipt and verification of the 

annual ingredient report, OSH issues a 

Certificate of Compliance to the 

respondent. CDC also uses the 

information to report to Congress (as 

deemed appropriate) the health effects 

of these ingredients. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 358 annual burden hours. 

OMB approval is requested for three 

years. There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time.
