a national sample of tobacco users to
provide data that may be used to
develop and support FDA’s policies
related to tobacco products, including
their labels, labeling, and advertising.
The target population for the panel is
tobacco users aged 18 years and older in
housing units and in
possible, provide insight into tobacco
users more generally. Replenishment
will be conducted to maintain the panel
with a constant number of members
following existing panel recruitment
and enrollment methods.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:
noninstitutionalized group quarters in
the 50 states and the District of
Columbia. A stratified four-stage sample
design was used, with a goal of
recruiting 4,000 adult tobacco users into
the sample panel. The sample is
designed to allow in-depth analysis of
subgroups of interest and to the extent

respondents will participate once over a 3-year period, or 0.33 responses annually.
3 Amounts are rounded to the nearest whole number.
4 Includes both mail and field screening.

2 Assumes
FDA’s burden estimate is based on
timed-readings of each instrument,
including the mail and field screeners,
enrollment survey, baseline survey, and
Study A–D questionnaires. Of the total
screening respondents, we expect 25
percent will respond only in the mail
screening (household deemed
ineligible), 65 percent will respond only
in the field screening (mail screening
nonrespondents), and the remaining 10
percent will respond in both the mail
screening and the field screening. The
latter includes eligible households from
the mail screening that are subsequently
field-screened to sample the panel
member, and the 10 percent quality
control sample of households whose
mail screening ineligibility is verified
through in-person screening. This
assumes an estimated 10,285 household
screening respondent during yearly
panel replenishment (30,855 total).
Replenishment panel members replace
original panel members and become
part of the 4,000-member panel that
receives experimental/observational and
panel maintenance surveys. This
extension reflects an increase of 1,527
hours due to an additional year of panel
replenishment and fielding of Studies B,
C, and D. The estimated burden assumes
10,285 household screening
respondents during yearly panel
replenishment (30,855 total) and 1,400
