Annual smokeless tobacco ingredient reporting
If you manufacture, package, or import smokeless tobacco products, you must submit an annual report listing ingredients and the quantity of nicotine for each product by chemical name and Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registration Number. Reports for new products are due at first importation and thereafter are due annually on March 31; respondents may submit a summary report for multiple products or a statement that there are no changes.
Large estimated paperwork burden hours
CDC estimates the information collection will require 18,843 total annual burden hours, with 11 respondents and an average of 1,713 hours per response. CDC also states there are no costs to respondents other than their time.
Restricted submission methods; email not allowed
You must submit ingredient reports by mailing a written report on company letterhead, or by delivering a CD, three-inch floppy disk, or thumb drive; electronic mail submissions are not accepted. Submissions may be made through a designated representative.
Certificate of Compliance issued on verification
After CDC receives and verifies your annual nicotine and ingredient report, it issues a Certificate of Compliance to the respondent. The certificate documents that CDC accepted the submitted information.
Confidentiality and use of submitted data
Submitted ingredient reports are subject to strict confidentiality provisions, and HHS may use the information to report to Congress or for research on health effects of ingredients. CDC collects ingredient information as required by the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986.
