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.--Reinstatement with Change--National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The oral use of smokeless tobacco (SLT) products represents a
significant health risk which can cause cancer and a number of non-
cancerous oral conditions, and can lead to nicotine addiction and
dependence. Furthermore, SLT use is not a safe substitute for cigarette
smoking. The Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of
1986 (15 U.S.C. 4401 et seq., P. L. 99-252) requires each person who
manufactures, packages, or imports smokeless tobacco (SLT) to provide
the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) with a list of
ingredients added to tobacco in the manufacture of smokeless tobacco
products. This legislation also authorizes HHS to undertake research,
and submit an annual report to Congress (as deemed appropriate)
discussing the health effects of these ingredients in smokeless tobacco
products. HHS has delegated responsibility for the implementation of
this Act to CDC's Office on Smoking and Health (OSH). Respondents
report the required information to CDC once per year according to
Tobacco Ingredient and Nicotine Reporting instructions posted on the
OSH Web site. Changes effective with this reinstatement relate to the
redesign of the OSH Web site. There are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are
18,843.
