Proposed Project

    List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the Manufacture of 
Cigarette Products--Reinstatement with Change--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 United States. Each year more than 440,000 
premature deaths occur as the result of smoking related diseases.
    The Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 
(15 U.S.C. 4401 et seq., Pub. L. 99-252) requires each person who 
manufactures, packages, or imports cigarettes to provide the Secretary 
of Health and Human Services (HHS) with a list of ingredients added to 
tobacco in the manufacture of cigarettes. 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 930.
