concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension of an existing collection of 

information, and to allow 60 days for 

public comment in response to the 

notice. This notice solicits comments on

Jonna Capezzuto, Office of Information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal 

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, FDA is publishing notice 

of the proposed extension of an existing 

collection of information set forth in 

this document. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, FDA invites 

comments on these topics: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of FDA’s functions, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques, 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

Title: Tobacco Product Standard on 

Flavored Cigarettes (OMB Control 

Number 0910–0647—Extension) 

On June 22, 2009, the President 

signed the FSPTCA (Public Law 111–31) 

into law. The FSPTCA amended the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FDCA) by adding a new chapter 

granting FDA important new authority 

to regulate the manufacture, marketing, 

and distribution of tobacco products to 

protect the public health generally and 

to reduce tobacco use by minors. 

FDA is requesting an extension of an 

existing collection of information 

pertaining to section 907(a)(1)(A) of the 

FDCA, as amended by the FSPTCA, 

which provides a general tobacco 

standard special rule for cigarettes that 

became effective on September 22, 2009. 

This special rule for cigarettes states in 

part that: ‘‘* * * a cigarette or any of 

its component parts (including the 

tobacco, filter, or paper) shall not 

contain, as a constituent (including a 

smoke constituent) or additive, an 

artificial or natural flavor (other than 

tobacco or menthol) or an herb or spice, 

including strawberry, grape, orange, 

clove, cinnamon, pineapple, vanilla, 

coconut, licorice, cocoa, chocolate, 

cherry, or coffee, that is a characterizing 

flavor of the tobacco product or tobacco 

smoke.’’ 

As part of our enforcement strategy, 

FDA created a Tobacco Call Center 

(with a toll-free number) to accept 

information from the public about 

violations of this provision, known as 

the cigarette flavor ban. Callers are able 

to report violations of the cigarette 

flavor ban and FDA will determine 

whether to conduct targeted followup 

investigations based on information the 

agency receives. Members of the public 

who wish to report a violation will be 

asked for certain information: Name and 

contact information, which are optional, 

date that the caller observed or 

purchased the alleged violative product, 

description of the tobacco product, and 

address of the retail outlet or Internet 

address where the violative product was 

available. FDA developed a form (FDA 

Form 3734) that Call Center 

representatives use to record this 

information. Additionally, this form is 

posted on FDA’s Internet (http:// 

www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/email/ 

TobaccoProducts/flavored

Cigarettes.cfm), which allows the public 

to report violations of the cigarette 

flavor ban by filling out the form online. Others may simply choose to send 

a letter to FDA. (Information about how 

to contact FDA’s Center for Tobacco 

Products is posted at http:// 

www.fda.gov/TobaccoProducts/ 

default.htm). FDA described how to 

report information about possible 

violations in a Federal Register notice 

reminding regulated industry of the 

effective date of the ban on certain 

flavored cigarettes (September 25, 2009; 

74 FR 48974). FDA also included this 

information in the following outreach 

materials: 

• Letter to our tobacco control 

partners announcing the cigarette flavor 

ban and soliciting information on 

possible violations, 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

• Press release announcing the 

effective date of the cigarette flavor ban,

• Flavored tobacco products parental
