Previous terms continue: The data to be collected by CTP in this ICR (OMB Control No. 0910-0650) and Center for Disease Control (OMB Control No.’s: 0920-0210 and 0920-0338) overlap in terms of the similar tobacco product ingredient collections being conducted. However, at this time, the CTP data cannot currently be used by CDC due to both logistical reasons and restrictions on the use of information collected. OMB encourages the agencies to consider future efforts to eliminate duplication and reduce burden on respondents

The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), amended by the Tobacco Control Act of 2009, grants FDA the authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products to protect the public health generally and to reduce tobacco use by minors. Section 905 of the FD&C Act requires the annual registration of any establishment in any State engaged in the manufacture, preparation, compounding, or processing of a tobacco product or tobacco products. Section 904 of the FD&C Act requires that each tobacco product manufacturer or importer submit a listing of all ingredients and additives that are added by the manufacturer to each tobacco product by brand and by quantity in each brand and sub brand. Section 904 also requires that a tobacco product manufacturer advise the FDA in writing prior to adding any new tobacco additive or increasing in quantity an existing tobacco additive. It also requires that a tobacco product manufacturer advise the FDA in writing prior to eliminating or decreasing an existing additive, or adding or increasing an additive designated by the FDA as not a human or animal carcinogen, or otherwise harmful to health under intended conditions of use.
FDA estimates the total burden for this collection is 830 hours. We have adjusted our burden estimate, which has resulted in a decrease of 93,086 hours and 81,636 annual responses to the currently approved burden. The IC referencing vape shops was deleted as these numbers have been incorporated into the appropriate places. Additionally, the IC titled Tobacco Product Ingredient Listing electronic and paper submission was deleted as it was a duplicate item intended to be removed previously. Based on data we reviewed from the past 3 years and projecting the number of remaining establishments that have not registered and submitted product ingredient listings, we revised the number of respondents and burden hours in this information collection.
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).
