SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. SUMMARY: Requirements Under the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (OMB Control Number 0910–0671)— Extension The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the Tobacco Control Act) was enacted on June 22, VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:28 Jul 25, 2016 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 48813 2009, amending the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and providing FDA with the authority to regulate tobacco products (Pub. L. 111–31; 123 Stat. 1776). Section 3 of the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 (the Smokeless Tobacco Act) (15 U.S.C. 4402), as amended by section 204 of the Tobacco Control Act, requires, among other things, that all smokeless tobacco product packages and advertisements bear one of four required warning statements. Section 3(b)(3)(A) of the Smokeless Tobacco Act requires that the warnings be displayed on packaging and advertising for each brand of smokeless tobacco ‘‘in accordance with a plan submitted by the tobacco product manufacturer, importer, distributor, or retailer’’ to, and approved by, FDA. This information collection-the submission to FDA of warning plans for smokeless tobacco products is statutorily mandated. The warning plans will be reviewed by FDA, as required by the Smokeless Tobacco Act, to determine whether the companies’ plans for the equal distribution and display of warning statements on packaging and the quarterly rotation of warning statements in advertising for each brand of smokeless tobacco products comply with section 3 of the Smokeless Tobacco Act, as amended. Based on the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC’s) previous experience with the submission of warning plans and FDA’s experience, FDA estimates that there are 52 companies affected by this information collection. To account for the entry of new smokeless tobacco companies that may be affected by this information collection, FDA is conservatively estimating the total number of annual respondents to this collection of information to be 100. When the FTC requested an extension of their approved warning plan information collection in 2007, based on over 20 years implementing the warning plan requirements and taking into account increased computerization and improvements in electronic communication, the FTC estimated submitting an initial plan would take 60 hours. Based on FDA’s experience over the past several years, FDA believes the estimate of 60 hours to complete an initial rotational plan continues to be reasonable. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: E:\FR\FM\26JYN1.SGM 26JYN1 48814 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 143 / Tuesday, July 26, 2016 / Notices TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Activity Numbers of respondents Numbers of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours Submission of rotational plans for health warning statements .............................. 100 1 100 60 6,000 1 There $1,200 are no operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

In addition, capital costs are based on 100 respondents mailing in their submission at a postage rate of $12 for a 5-pound parcel (business parcel post mail delivered from the furthest delivery zone). Therefore, FDA estimates that the total postage cost for mailing the rotational warning plans to FDA to be $1,200.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

Requirements Under the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education 
Act of 1986, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco 
Control Act (OMB Control Number 0910-0671)--Extension

    The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the Tobacco 
Control Act) was enacted on June 22, 2009, amending the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act and providing FDA with the authority to regulate 
tobacco products (Pub. L. 111-31; 123 Stat. 1776). Section 3 of the 
Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 (the 
Smokeless Tobacco Act) (15 U.S.C. 4402), as amended by section 204 of 
the Tobacco Control Act, requires, among other things, that all 
smokeless tobacco product packages and advertisements bear one of four 
required warning statements. Section 3(b)(3)(A) of the Smokeless 
Tobacco Act requires that the warnings be displayed on packaging and 
advertising for each brand of smokeless tobacco ``in accordance with a 
plan submitted by the tobacco product manufacturer, importer, 
distributor, or retailer'' to, and approved by, FDA.
    This information collection-the submission to FDA of warning plans 
for smokeless tobacco products is statutorily mandated. The warning 
plans will be reviewed by FDA, as required by the Smokeless Tobacco 
Act, to determine whether the companies' plans for the equal 
distribution and display of warning statements on packaging and the 
quarterly rotation of warning statements in advertising for each brand 
of smokeless tobacco products comply with section 3 of the Smokeless 
Tobacco Act, as amended.
    Based on the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC's) previous experience 
with the submission of warning plans and FDA's experience, FDA 
estimates that there are 52 companies affected by this information 
collection. To account for the entry of new smokeless tobacco companies 
that may be affected by this information collection, FDA is 
conservatively estimating the total number of annual respondents to 
this collection of information to be 100.
    When the FTC requested an extension of their approved warning plan 
information collection in 2007, based on over 20 years implementing the

computerization and improvements in electronic communication, the FTC 
estimated submitting an initial plan would take 60 hours. Based on 
FDA's experience over the past several years, FDA believes the estimate 
of 60 hours to complete an initial rotational plan continues to be 
reasonable.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    FDA estimates a total of 100 respondents will respond to this 
collection of information and take 60 hours to complete a rotational 
warning plan for a total of 6,000 burden hours. In addition, capital 
costs are based on 100 respondents mailing in their submission at a 
postage rate of $12 for a 5-pound parcel (business parcel post mail 
delivered from the furthest delivery zone). Therefore, FDA estimates 
that the total postage cost for mailing the rotational warning plans to 
FDA to be $1,200.
    In the Federal Register of February, 19, 2016 (81 FR 8505), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. One comment was PRA related comment was 
received.
    (Comment) The comment believes that warning plans should not be 
renewed every year, but should remain in force as long as necessary 
after their approval
    (Response) FDA does not require that a previously FDA-approved 
warning plan be resubmitted. FDA reviews and approves warning plans 
only once, unless a submitter seeks to change the distribution or 
display of warnings on packages or rotation of warnings in 
advertisements, in which case the submission would be considered a 
supplement. The purpose of FDA's proposed extension is to account for 
the entry of new smokeless tobacco product brands and advertising onto 
the market place.
