Furthermore, SLT use is not a safe substitute for cigarette smoking. Adolescents who use smokeless tobacco are more likely to become cigarette smokers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office on Smoking and Health (OSH), has primary responsibility for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) smoking and health program. HHS’s overall goal is to reduce death and disability resulting from the use of smokeless tobacco products and other forms of tobacco through programs of information, education and research. The Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 (CSTHEA, 15 U.S.C. 4401 et seq., Pub. L. 99–252) requires each person who manufactures, packages, or imports smokeless tobacco products to provide the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) with a list of ingredients added to tobacco in the manufacture of smokeless tobacco products. CSTHEA further requires submission of the quantity of nicotine contained in each smokeless tobacco product. Finally, the legislation authorizes HHS to undertake research, and to report to Congress (as E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM 01MRN1 12596 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 41 / Thursday, March 1, 2012 / Notices deemed appropriate) discussing the health effects of these ingredients. HHS has delegated responsibility for implementing the required information collection to CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health. Respondents are not required to submit specific forms; however, they are required to meet reporting guidelines and to submit the ingredient report by chemical name and Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registration Number, consistent with accepted reporting practices for other companies that are required to report ingredients added to other consumer products.

OMB No.: 0980–0204. Description: Content changes are being proposed for the OPR and OWP ONLY. The information in the OPR is collected on a quarterly basis to monitor the performance of grantees and better gauge grantee progress. The standardized format allows ANA to report results across all its program areas and flag grantees that may need additional training and/or technical assistance to successfully implement their projects. The following are proposed changes within specific sections of the OPR form: Objective Work Plan Update Section: ANA has added fields for 1st through 4th Quarter (Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4) to report the results for activities within each Project Objective. The grantee may continue to add to this form each quarter (rather than to a new form), reflecting cumulative results throughout the project period instead of a single quarter. Financial Section: ANA has added 2 questions to: (1) Provide details on any income generated as a result of ANA project activities; (2) Provide details on any changes made to the budget during the reporting period. Native American Youth and Elder Opportunities Section: ANA has added a question to: (1) Request details on any intergenerational activities between grandparents and their grandchildren. Finally, ANA has added a new section (last section) to the form titled: PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY, to: (1) Request details on the grantee’s intention to continue the project benefits and/or services after ANA’s funding period for the project has ended. End of Changes to the OPR The OWP: The information collected through the OWP is needed to properly administer and monitor the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) programs. The OWP assists applicants in describing their projects’ objectives and activities, and also assists independent panel reviewers, ANA staff and the ANA Commissioner during review and funding decision process. Changes Specific Sections of the OWP Problem Statement: ANA added a field for applicants to include the problem statement they identified in their grant application. Position Performing the Activity: On the previous OWP, ANA requested applicants to identify the position responsible for each activity. ANA has changed this title to ‘‘position performing the activity’’ and applicants are asked to identify the lead person in one column and other support persons in the second column. End of Changes to the OWP Project Abstract: The Project Abstract form is no longer managed by ANA. Respondents: Tribal Government, Native Non-profit Organizations, Tribal Colleges & Universities.

Proposed Project

    Annual Submission of the Ingredients Added to, and the Quantity of 
Nicotine Contained in, Smokeless Tobacco Manufactured, Imported, or 
Packaged in the U.S. (OMB No. 0920-0338, exp. 9/30/2012)--Extension--
Office on Smoking and Health, National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The oral use of smokeless tobacco (SLT) products represents a 
significant health risk. Smokeless tobacco products contain carcinogens 
which can cause cancer and a number of non-cancerous oral conditions, 
as well as leading to nicotine addiction and dependence. Furthermore, 
SLT use is not a safe substitute for cigarette smoking. Adolescents who 
use smokeless tobacco are more likely to become cigarette smokers.
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office on 
Smoking and Health (OSH), has primary responsibility for the Department 
of Health and Human Services (HHS) smoking and health program. HHS's 
overall goal is to reduce death and disability resulting from the use 
of smokeless tobacco products and other forms of tobacco through 
programs of information, education and research.
    The Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 
(CSTHEA, 15 U.S.C. 4401 et seq., Pub. L. 99-252) requires each person 
who manufactures, packages, or imports smokeless tobacco products to 
provide the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) with a list of 
ingredients added to tobacco in the manufacture of smokeless tobacco 
products. CSTHEA further requires submission of the quantity of 
nicotine contained in each smokeless tobacco product. Finally, the 
legislation authorizes HHS to undertake research, and to report to 
Congress (as

deemed appropriate) discussing the health effects of these ingredients.
    HHS has delegated responsibility for implementing the required 
information collection to CDC's Office on Smoking and Health. 
Respondents are not required to submit specific forms; however, they 
are required to meet reporting guidelines and to submit the ingredient 
report by chemical name and Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) 
Registration Number, consistent with accepted reporting practices for 
other companies that are required to report ingredients added to other 
consumer products. Typically, respondents submit a summary report to 
CDC with the ingredient information for multiple products, or a 
statement that there are no changes to their previously submitted 
ingredient report. Respondents may submit the required information to 
CDC through a designated representative. The information collection is 
subject to strict confidentiality provisions.
    Ingredient reports for new SLT products are due at the time of 
first importation. Thereafter, ingredient reports are due annually on 
March 31. Information is submitted to OSH by mailing a written report 
on the respondent's letterhead, by CD, three-inch floppy disk, or thumb 
drive. Electronic mail submissions are not accepted. Upon receipt and 
verification of the annual nicotine and ingredient report, OSH issues a 
Certificate of Compliance to the respondent.
    There are no changes to information collection procedures or the 
estimated burden per response. There is an increase in total estimated 
burden due to an increase in the estimated number of respondents, from 
11 to 13. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
