SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. Experimental Study of Graphic Cigarette Warning Labels Tobacco products are responsible for more than 440,000 deaths each year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that approximately 46 million U.S. adults smoke cigarettes in the United States, even though this behavior will result in death or disability for half of all regular users. Paralleling this enormous health burden is the economic burden of tobacco use, which is estimated to total $193 billion annually in medical expenditures and lost productivity. Curbing the significant adverse consequences of tobacco use is one of the most important public health goals of our time. One way to do this is through health warnings that describe and graphically depict the harm caused by cigarette use. On June 22, 2009, the President signed the Tobacco Control Act (Public Law 111–31) into law. The Tobacco Control Act granted FDA important new authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products to protect the public health generally and to reduce tobacco use by minors. Section 201 of the Tobacco Control Act, which amends section 4 of the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act (15 U.S.C. 1333), requires FDA to issue ‘‘regulations that require color graphics depicting the negative health consequences of smoking to accompany the label statements specified in subsection (a)(1).’’ FDA conducts research relating to tobacco products under its statutory authority in section 1103(d)(2)(C) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Tobacco Control Act, to conduct research ‘‘relating to foods, drugs, cosmetics, devices, and tobacco 7605 products in carrying out the act.’’ The study proposed here is an effort by FDA to collect data concerning graphic warnings on cigarette packages and their impact on consumer perceptions, attitudes, and behavior with respect to smoking. The study, the Experimental Study of Graphic Cigarette Warning Labels, is a voluntary experimental survey of consumers. The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of various graphic warnings on cigarette packs for achieving three communication goals: (1) Conveying information about various health risks of smoking, (2) encouraging cessation of smoking among current smokers, and (3) discouraging initiation of smoking among youth and former smokers. The study will collect data from various groups of consumers, including current smokers aged 13 years and older, former smokers aged 13 years and older, and non-smokers aged between 13 and 25 years who may be susceptible to initiation of smoking. The study goals are to: (1) Measure consumer attitudes, beliefs, and intended behaviors related to cigarette smoking in response to graphic warning labels; (2) determine whether consumer responses to graphic warning labels differ across various groups based on smoking status, age, or other demographic variables; and (3) evaluate the relative effectiveness of various graphic images associated with each of the nine warning statements specified in the Tobacco Control Act for achieving each of the communication goals. The information collected from the study is necessary to inform the agency’s efforts to implement the mandatory graphic warnings required by the Tobacco Control Act. The experimental study data will be collected from participants of an Internet panel of approximately 43,000 people. Participation in the experimental study is voluntary. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1.—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN1 Portion of Study No. of Respondents cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES Pre-test Annual Frequency per Response Hours per Response 60 60 1 15,000 5,400 1 5,400 1 Experimental Survey 1 15,000 Screener 15,460 Total 1 There Total Annual Responses 0.5 0.016 0.5 15:26 Feb 19, 2010 Jkt 220001 PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\22FEN1.SGM 30 240 2,700 2,970 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

Experimental Study of Graphic Cigarette Warning Labels

    Tobacco products are responsible for more than 440,000 deaths each 
year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 
approximately 46 million U.S. adults smoke cigarettes in the United 
States, even though this behavior will result in death or disability 
for half of all regular users. Paralleling this enormous health burden 
is the economic burden of tobacco use, which is estimated to total $193 
billion annually in medical expenditures and lost productivity. Curbing 
the significant adverse consequences of tobacco use is one of the most 
important public health goals of our time. One way to do this is 
through health warnings that describe and graphically depict the harm 
caused by cigarette use.
    On June 22, 2009, the President signed the Tobacco Control Act 
(Public Law 111-31) into law. The Tobacco Control Act granted FDA 
important new authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and 
distribution of tobacco products to protect the public health generally 
and to reduce tobacco use by minors. Section 201 of the Tobacco Control 
Act, which amends section 4 of the Federal Cigarette Labeling and 
Advertising Act (15 U.S.C. 1333), requires FDA to issue ``regulations 
that require color graphics depicting the negative health consequences 
of smoking to accompany the label statements specified in subsection 
(a)(1).'' FDA conducts research relating to tobacco products under its 
statutory authority in section 1103(d)(2)(C) of the Federal Food, Drug, 
and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Tobacco Control Act, to conduct 
research ``relating to foods, drugs, cosmetics, devices, and tobacco 
products in carrying out the act.'' The study proposed here is an 
effort by FDA to collect data concerning graphic warnings on cigarette 
packages and their impact on consumer perceptions, attitudes, and 
behavior with respect to smoking.
    The study, the Experimental Study of Graphic Cigarette Warning 
Labels, is a voluntary experimental survey of consumers. The purpose of 
the study is to assess the effectiveness of various graphic warnings on 
cigarette packs for achieving three communication goals: (1) Conveying 
information about various health risks of smoking, (2) encouraging 
cessation of smoking among current smokers, and (3) discouraging 
initiation of smoking among youth and former smokers. The study will 
collect data from various groups of consumers, including current 
smokers aged 13 years and older, former smokers aged 13 years and 
older, and non-smokers aged between 13 and 25 years who may be 
susceptible to initiation of smoking. The study goals are to: (1) 
Measure consumer attitudes, beliefs, and intended behaviors related to 
cigarette smoking in response to graphic warning labels; (2) determine 
whether consumer responses to graphic warning labels differ across 
various groups based on smoking status, age, or other demographic 
variables; and (3) evaluate the relative effectiveness of various 
graphic images associated with each of the nine warning statements 
specified in the Tobacco Control Act for achieving each of the 
communication goals. The information collected from the study is 
necessary to inform the agency's efforts to implement the mandatory 
graphic warnings required by the Tobacco Control Act.
    The experimental study data will be collected from participants of 
an Internet panel of approximately 43,000 people. Participation in the
