ACTION: Notice and request for public comment. AGENCY: mmaher on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES SUMMARY: The uniform protocol for the analysis of nicotine, total moisture, and pH in smokeless tobacco products, VerDate Aug<31>2005 01:51 Jun 21, 2008 Jkt 214001 originally published in the Federal Register in 1999 (64 FR 14086), ‘‘Notice Regarding Requirement for Annual Submission of the Quantity of Nicotine Contained in Smokeless Tobacco Products Manufactured, Imported, or Packaged in the United States,’’ and revised in the Federal Register on March 14, 2008 (73 FR 13903), implements the requirement of the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act (CSTHEA) of 1986 (15 U.S.C. 4401 et seq., Pub. L. 99–252) that each entity manufacturing, packaging, or importing smokeless tobacco products shall annually provide the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) with a specification of the quantity of nicotine contained in each smokeless tobacco product. CDC is re-publishing the notice published in the Federal Register on March 14, 2008 (73 FR 13903) concerning the revision of the protocol for analysis of nicotine in smokeless tobacco products (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘Protocol’’) to (1) make a technical change to correct the date when the first report of information under the revised Protocol is due; (2) solicit public comments concerning a change in the Protocol that increased the volume of water in the pH determination from 10 mL to 20 mL, and (3) solicit public comments concerning the addition of the following commercial smokeless tobacco product categories: Dry snuff portion packs, snus, snus portion packs, and pellet or compressed. The Protocol as published in the Federal Register on March 14, 2008 (73 FR 13903), remains in effect with the technical correction to the date described below. Technical change: The language in the March 14, 2008 notice stated that ‘‘The first report of information is due June 30, 2008, with subsequent submissions due by March 31 of each year.’’ The first report date of information should be 2009 so that the sentence correctly reads: ‘‘The first report of information is due June 30, 2009, with subsequent submissions due by March 31 of each year.’’ PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 35395 Written comments concerning the change in the volume of liquid in the pH determination and the addition of four commercial smokeless tobacco product categories must be received on or before July 23, 2008. ADDRESSES: Comments should be marked ‘‘Comments on Revised Protocol for Analysis of Nicotine’’ and mailed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Office on Smoking and Health, Attention: Matthew McKenna, M.D., Director, 4770 Buford Highway NE., MS K–50, Atlanta, Georgia 30341– 3724. Comments may be e-mailed to: pir1@cdc.gov. DATES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew McKenna, M.D. Director, Office on Smoking and Health, Telephone: (770) 488–5701. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Several smokeless tobacco product categories have entered the U.S. smokeless tobacco market since the implementation of the protocol in 1999 including snus, low moisture snuff sold in portion pouches, and smokeless tobacco sold in a compressed, pellet form. Some of the new smokeless tobacco product categories differ physically from previous smokeless tobacco categories. After evaluating information that has recently come to the attention of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) regarding low moisture smokeless tobacco products packaged in portion pouches, OSH conducted an independent comparison of pH measurements in a variety of low and high moisture smokeless tobacco products. The results of this comparison, presented in Table 1, indicate that there is an acceptable (less than 2%) level of change in pH values when measurements are taken with 20 mL deionized, distilled water (Condition B) compared to 10 mL of deionized, distilled water (Condition A). Increasing the volume of water in the mixture ensures that the matrix is sufficiently fluid to facilitate ease of measure. E:\FR\FM\23JNN1.SGM 23JNN1
