Proposed Project
List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco
in the Manufacture of Cigarette Products
(OMB No. 0920–0210)—Extension—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Comprehensive Smoking
Education Act of 1984 (15 U.S.C. 1336
or Pub. L. 98–474) 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 to report to the
Congress (as deemed appropriate)
discussing the health effects of these
ingredients.
HHS has delegated responsibility for
the implementation of this Act to CDC’s
Office on Smoking and Health (OSH).
OSH has collected ingredient reports on
cigarette products since 1986. Cigarette
smoking is the leading preventable
cause of premature death and disability
in our Nation. Each year more than
400,000 premature deaths occur as the
result of cigarette smoking related
diseases.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Office on Smoking
and Health (OSH) has been delegated
the authority for implementing major
components of the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) tobacco and
health program, including collection of
tobacco ingredients information. HHS’s
overall goal is to reduce death and
disability resulting from cigarette
smoking and other forms of tobacco use
through programs of information,
education and research. There is no cost
to the respondents other than their time
to complete the survey.

required to implement and effectively
manage the new compensation program. Key
functions of the Advisory Board include
providing advice on the development of
probability of causation guidelines which
have been promulgated by the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) as a final
rule, advice on methods of dose
reconstruction which have also been
promulgated by HHS as a final rule, advice
on the scientific validity and quality of dose
estimation and reconstruction efforts being
performed for purposes of the compensation

advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the
scientific validity and quality of dose
reconstruction efforts performed for this
program; and (c) upon request by the
Secretary, HHS, advising the Secretary on
whether there is a class of employees at any
Department of Energy facility who were
exposed to radiation but for whom it is not
feasible to estimate their radiation dose, and
on whether there is reasonable likelihood
that such radiation doses may have
endangered the health of members of this
class.
Matters To Be Discussed: The agenda for
the Advisory Board meeting includes SEC

Online Data Collection (OLDC)
OMB No.: 0970–0266.
Description: The Promoting Safe and
Stable Families Amendments of 2001
(Pub. L. 107–133) amended Title IV–B
of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
629–629e) to provide funding for
nonprofit agencies that recruit, screen,
train, and support mentors for children
with an incarcerated parent or parents.
The Family and Youth Services Bureau
(FYSB) within the Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), United
States Department of Health and Human
Services, administers the Mentoring
Children of Prisoners (MCP) program.
The MCP program creates lasting, high
quality, one-on-one relationships that
provide young people with caring adult
role models. Information from the
Mentoring Children of Prisoners Online
Data Collection is necessary for ACF’s
reporting and planning under the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA), and to support evaluation
requirements within GPRA. Information
collected will be used for accountability
monitoring, management improvement,
and research. Data collection ensures
that ACF knows if grantees of the MCP
program are meeting the established
targets (established based on research
and benchmarks) recorded in the grant
application as required by the GPRA,
and that mentoring activities are faithful
to characteristics established by
research as essential to success. Data
collected will also support grantees as
they carry out ongoing responsibilities,
maintain program service, and manage
information for internal uses.
Respondents: Public, faith-based and
community organizations receiving
funding to implement the MCP program.
