ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The information collection requirements described below will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (‘‘PRA’’). The FTC seeks public comments on proposed information requests by compulsory process to a combined ten or more of the largest cigarette manufacturers and smokeless tobacco manufacturers. The information sought would include, among other things, data on manufacturer annual sales and marketing expenditures. The current FTC clearance from the OMB to conduct such information collection expires January 31, 2015. The Commission intends to ask OMB for renewed three-year clearance to collect this information. DATES: Comments must be submitted by January 5, 2015. ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file a comment online or on paper, by following the instructions in the Request for Comment part of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. Write ‘‘Tobacco Reports: Paperwork Comment, FTC File No. P054507’’ on your comment.

Telephone: (202) 326–3116. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: FTC Cigarette and Smokeless Tobacco Data Collection. OMB Control Number: 3084–0134. Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection. On August 13, 2014, the Commission sought comment on the information collection requirements associated with the Cigarette and Smokeless Tobacco Data Collection. 79 FR 47463 (‘‘August 13, 2014 Notice’’). Pursuant to the OMB regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, that implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., the FTC is providing a second opportunity for the public to comment while seeking OMB approval to renew the pre-existing clearance for the information the FTC proposes to seek from cigarette manufacturers and smokeless tobacco manufacturers. In response to the August 13, 2014 Notice, the Commission received comments from Altria Client Services (‘‘Altria’’), the Campaign for TobaccoFree Kids (‘‘CTFK’’), Legacy, and Professor M. Jane Lewis (‘‘Lewis’’) of the Rutgers School of Public Health. Three of the comments (Legacy, Lewis, and CTFK) specifically noted the utility and importance of the Commission’s Cigarette and Smokeless Tobacco Reports, and urged the agency to continue collection and reporting industry sales and marketing expenditure data.1 Legacy and CTFK also noted that these data are not available from other sources. Three of the commenters (Altria, CTFK, and Legacy) responded to questions raised in the Commission’s 60-day notice concerning the future collection of data on cigarette tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide yields. Altria stated that the Commission should not require the manufacturers to provide yield data on all varieties of cigarettes they sell and should cease requiring the cigarette manufacturers to report any smoke constituent data, given the Food and Drug Administration’s (‘‘FDA’’) new statutory authority to collect such data. Altria stated further that if the Commission retains or 1 CTFK and Legacy also urged the Commission to collect and report sales and marketing data for cigars and electronic cigarettes, as well as for conventional tobacco cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. CTFK, at 2–3; Legacy, at 5–6. The Commission will consider those recommendations. PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 expands the existing reporting requirements (which require the companies to provide yield data only for those varieties for which such data already exist), it should require all cigarette manufacturers, not just the major companies, to submit those data. Altria, at 3. CTFK acknowledged that tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide yield data may be important for researchers and regulatory agencies, but noted that ‘‘the tobacco industry’s history of manipulating this self-reported data raises concerns about its accuracy and validity,’’ and urged the Commission to coordinate with FDA ‘‘to establish a coherent set of product testing requirements that will best serve the statutory missions of both agencies.’’ CTFK, at 3. Legacy encouraged the Commission to cease its collection and reporting of these cigarette yield data, citing their potential to mislead consumers about health risks, the limitations of existing testing methodologies to produce yield results consistent with those actually experienced by smokers, and the ‘‘potential unintended consequences among people of low literacy and low numeracy’’ to understand information on smoke constituent yields. Legacy, at 2–3. Instead, Legacy noted, the Commission and the FDA should work together to determine the best methodology for determining the yields of harmful or potentially harmful smoke constituents, and the best means of disseminating that information in a way that protects public health. The FTC and FDA staff have long worked together on the many areas where the two agencies share jurisdiction, and the Commission fully expects this tradition to continue now that the agencies share jurisdiction over cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. The Commission further agrees that FDA should be the primary agency to determine the best test methodology. The Commission is not aware, however, of another means of preserving the existing record of cigarette yield trends unless it continues to collect these data. Freedom of Information Act requests filed with the Commission also suggest that researchers remain interested in these data. Accordingly, the Commission intends to continue collecting the data to the extent recipients of the 6(b) Orders possess them.2 2 The Commission will consider Altria’s recommendation that all cigarette manufacturers be required to provide yield data if the major manufacturers are required to do so, although it believes that the five major cigarette manufacturers E:\FR\FM\05DEN1.SGM 05DEN1
