FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The information collection 

described below will be submitted to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520). The FTC proposes to 

issue compulsory process orders to the 

largest cigarette manufacturers and 

smokeless tobacco manufacturers in 

order to obtain information from those 

companies concerning, inter alia, their 

sales and marketing expenditures. 

DATES: Comments on the proposed 

information requests must be received 

on or before November 30, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are 

invited to submit written comments. 

Comments should refer to ‘‘Tobacco 

Reports: Paperwork Comment, FTC File 

No. P054507’’ to facilitate the 

organization of comments. A comment 

filed in paper form should include this 

reference both in the text and on the 

envelope and should be mailed or 

delivered, with two complete copies, to 

the following address: Federal Trade 

Commission/Office of the Secretary, 

Room H–135 (Annex G), 600 

Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20580. Because paper 

mail in the Washington area and at the 

Commission is subject to delay, please 

consider submitting your comments in 

electronic form (in ASCII format, 

WordPerfect, or Microsoft Word), as part 

of or as an attachment to e-mail 

messages directed to the following email box: TobaccoReports@ftc.gov. 

However, if the comment contains any 

material for which confidential 

treatment is requested, it must be filed 

in paper form, and the first page of the 

document must be clearly labeled 

‘‘Confidential.’’ 1

All comments should additionally be 

submitted to: Office of Management and 

Budget, Attention: Desk Officer for the 

Federal Trade Commission. Comments 

should be submitted via facsimile to 

(202) 395–6974 because U.S. Postal Mail 

is subject to lengthy delays due to 

heightened security precautions. 

The FTC Act and other laws the 

Commission administers permit the 

collection of public comments to 

consider and use in this proceeding as 

appropriate. All timely and responsive 

public comments will be considered by 

the Commission and will be available to 

the public on the FTC Web site, to the 

extent practicable, at http://www.ftc.gov. 

As a matter of discretion, the FTC makes 

every effort to remove home contact 

information for individuals from the 

public comments it receives before 

placing those comments on the FTC 

website. More information, including 

routine uses permitted by the Privacy 

Act, may be found in the FTC’s privacy 

policy at http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/ 

privacy.htm. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the proposed collection of 

information should be addressed to 

Michael Ostheimer, Attorney, Division 

of Advertising Practices, Bureau of 

Consumer Protection, Federal Trade 

Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For nearly 

forty years, the Federal Trade 

Commission has published periodic 

reports containing data on domestic 

cigarette sales and marketing 

expenditures by the major U.S. cigarette 

manufacturers. The Commission has 

published comparable reports on 

smokeless tobacco sales and marketing 

expenditures since 1987. Both reports 

originally were issued pursuant to 

statutory mandates. After those statutory 

mandates were terminated, the 

Commission continued to collect and 

publish information obtained from the 

cigarette and smokeless tobacco 

industries pursuant to section 6(b) of the 

FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 46(b). 

More recently, the Commission 

decided to address its information 

requests to the ultimate parent of each 

of the leading cigarette and smokeless 

tobacco manufacturers in order to 

ensure that no relevant data from 

affiliated companies go unreported. This 

change presumably increases the 

number of separately incorporated 

entities affected by the Commission’s 

requests. 

The FTC proposes to send 

information requests on an annual basis 

to the ultimate parent company of each 

of the five largest cigarette companies 

and each of the five largest smokeless 

tobacco companies in the United States 

(‘‘industry members’’). The information 

requests will seek data regarding, inter 

alia: (1) The tobacco sales of industry 

members; (2) how much industry 

members spend advertising and 

promoting their tobacco products, and 

the specific amounts spent in each of a 

number of specified expenditure 

categories; (3) whether industry 

members are involved in the appearance 

of their tobacco products in television 

shows or movies; (4) how much 

industry members spend on advertising 

intended to reduce youth tobacco usage; 

(5) the events, if any, during which 

industry members’ tobacco brands are 

televised; and (6) for the cigarette 

industry, the tar, nicotine, and carbon 

monoxide ratings of their cigarettes, to 

the extent they possess such data. The 

information will be sought using 

compulsory process under section 6(b) 

of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 46(b) 

(hereinafter ‘‘6(b) orders’’). 

On May 9, 2005, the FTC sought 

public comment on its proposed 

information collection requests to the 

major cigarette and smokeless tobacco 

manufacturers. 70 FR 24415. Nine 

comments were received, which are 

discussed below.2 Pursuant to the OMB 

regulations that implement the PRA, 5 

CFR part 1320, the FTC is providing this 

second opportunity for public comment 

while seeking OMB approval for the 

proposed information requests. 

Comments received: The FTC 

received seven comments supporting 

the collection and reporting of the data 

in question. Those comments were 

from: (1) The Tobacco Free Kansas 

Coalition, Inc.; (2) Michael P. Eriksen, 

Sc.D., of the Institute of Public Health 

at Georgia State University; (3) the 

California Department of Health 

Services; (4) the San Luis Obispo 

County Tobacco Control Coalition; (5) 

the National Center for Chronic Disease 

Prevention and Health Promotion, 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention; (6) the National Association 

of Attorneys General; and (7) a group of 

44 public health organizations, 

including the American Lung 

Association, the American Medical 

Association, and the American Public
