FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection
Activities; Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission
(FTC).
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The FTC is soliciting public
comments on proposed information
requests to cigarette manufacturers and
smokeless tobacco manufacturers. These
comments will be considered before the
FTC submits a request for Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) review
under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, of
compulsory process orders to the largest
companies in those two industries for
information concerning, inter alia, their
sales and marketing expenditures.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before July 8, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are
invited to submit written comments.
Comments should refer to the ‘‘Tobacco
Reports: Paperwork Comment, FTC File
No. P054507’’ to facilitate the
organization of the comments. A
comment filed in paper form should
include this reference both in the text
and on the envelope, and should be
mailed or delivered to the following
address: Federal Trade Commission/
Office of the Secretary, Room H–159

 24416 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 88 / Monday, May 9, 2005 / Notices
(Annex G), 600 Pennsylvania Avenue,
NW., Washington, DC 20580. Comments
containing confidential material must be
filed in paper (rather than electronic)
form, and the first page of the document
must be clearly labeled ‘‘Confidential.’’ 1
The FTC is requesting that any comment
filed in paper form be sent by courier or
overnight service, if possible, because
U.S. postal mail in the Washington area
and at the Commission is subject to
delay due to heightened security
precautions. Comments filed in
electronic form (except comments
containing any confidential material)
should be sent to the following e-mail
box: TobaccoReports@ftc.gov.
The FTC Act and other laws the
Commission administers permit the
collection of public comments to
consider and use in this proceeding as
appropriate. All timely and responsive
public comments, whether filed in
paper or electronic form, will be
considered by the Commission, and will
be available to the public on the FTC
Web site, to the extent practicable, at
http://www.ftc.gov. As a matter of
discretion, the FTC makes every effort to
remove home contact information for
individuals from public comments it
receives before placing those comments
on the FTC Web site. More information,
including routine uses permitted by the
Privacy Act, may be found in the FTC’s
privacy policy, at http://www.ftc.gov/

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information
should be addressed to Michael
Ostheimer, Attorney, Division of
Advertising Practices, Bureau of
Consumer Protection, Federal Trade
Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue,
NW., Washington, DC 20580.
Telephone: (202) 326–2699.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The sales
and marketing data contained in the
cigarette and smokeless tobacco reports
that the FTC has issued for many years
have been based on data submitted to
the Commission pursuant to
compulsory process by the largest
cigarette and smokeless tobacco
manufacturers in the United States. 2
1 Commission Rule 4.2(d), 16 CFR 4.2(d). The
comment must be accompanied by an explicit
request for confidential treatment, including the
factual and legal basis for the request, and must
identify the specific portions of the comment to be
withheld from the public record. The request will
be granted or denied by the Commission’s General
Counsel, consistent with applicable law and the
public interest. See Commission Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR
4.9(c).
2 Beginning in 1967, the Commission submitted
annual reports to Congress on cigarette sales and
marketing pursuant to the Federal Cigarette
Labeling and Advertising Act. 15 U.S.C. 1331–1341.
Beginning in 1986, the Commission submitted
VerDate jul<14>2003 17:20 May 06, 2005 Jkt 205001 PO 00000
The FTC has authority to compel
production of this information from
cigarette and smokeless tobacco
manufacturers under Section 6(b) of the
FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 46(b). The Federal
Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of
1995 3 terminated the statutory
mandates for these reports and allowed
the agency to assess for itself the need
for the reports. Accordingly, the
Commission sought public comment on
whether continuing to issue reports on
the cigarette and smokeless tobacco
industries was in the public interest and
what forms any such reports should
take. 4 The Commission determined that
the continued publication of such
reports was in the public interest, and
subsequently issued several reports.
More recently, the Commission
decided to address its information
requests to the ultimate parent of each
of the leading cigarette and smokeless
tobacco manufacturers in order to assure
that no relevant data from affiliated
companies goes unreported. This
change presumably increases the
number of separately incorporated
entities affected by the Commission’s
requests. The Commission intends to
seek OMB clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act before
requesting any information for these
reports from the largest cigarette and
smokeless tobacco manufacturers.
Under the PRA, federal agencies must
obtain approval from OMB for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’
means agency requests or requirements
that members of the public submit
reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. 44 U.S.C.
3502(3), 5 CFR 1320.3(c). As required by
section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the
FTC is providing this opportunity for
public comment before submitting the
proposed information collection
requirements to OMB for review, as
required by the PRA.
The FTC invites comments on: (1)
Whether the proposed collections of
information are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the FTC,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
the FTC’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collections of information; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of collecting information on
those who are to respond, including
biennially to Congress reports on smokeless tobacco
pursuant to the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco
Health Education Act. 15 U.S.C. 4401–4408.

through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
A. Information Requests to the Cigarette
and Smokeless Tobacco Industries
1. Description of the Collection of
Information and Proposed Use
The FTC proposes to send
information requests on an annual basis
to the ultimate parent company of each
of the five largest cigarette companies
and each of the five largest smokeless
tobacco companies in the United States
(‘‘industry members’’). The information
requests will seek data regarding, inter
alia: (1) The tobacco sales of industry
members; (2) how much industry
members spend advertising and
promoting their tobacco products; (3)
whether industry members are involved
in the appearance of their tobacco
products in television shows or movies;
(4) how much industry members spend
on advertising intended to reduce youth
tobacco usage; (5) the events, if any,
during which industry members’
tobacco brands are televised; and (6) for
the cigarette industry, the tar, nicotine,
and carbon monoxide ratings of their
cigarettes, to the extent they possess
such data.
2. Estimated Hours Burden
The FTC staff’s estimate of the hours
burden is based on the time required to
respond to each information request.
Although the Commission intends to
issue the information requests only to
the five largest cigarette companies and
the five largest smokeless tobacco
companies (for a total of 10 information
requests), the burden estimate is based
on up to 15 information requests being
issued per year to take into account any
future changes in these industries.
Because these companies vary greatly in
size, in the number of products that they
sell, and in the extent and variety of
their advertising and promotion, the
FTC staff has provided a range of the
estimated hours burden. Based upon its
knowledge of the industries, the staff
estimates that the time required to
gather, organize, format, and produce
such responses ranges between 30 and
80 hours per information request for all
but the very largest companies. The very
largest companies could require
hundreds of hours per year. Thus, the
staff estimates a total of 1,800 hours per
year, with an average burden per
company for each of the intended ten
recipients of 180 hours. The staff
estimates that for possible additional
09MYN1
 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 88 / Monday, May 9, 2005 / Notices
recipients, which would be smaller
companies, the burden should not
exceed 300 hours (60 hours per
company x 5 companies). Thus the
staff’s estimate of the total burden is
2,100 hours. These estimates include
any time spent by separately
incorporated subsidiaries and other
entities affiliated with the ultimate
parent company that has received the
information request. 5
3. Estimated Cost Burden
It is not possible to calculate with
precision the labor costs associated with
this data production, as they entail
varying compensation levels of
management and/or support staff among
companies of different sizes. Financial,
legal, marketing, and clerical personnel
may be involved in the information
collection process. We have assumed
that professional personnel will handle
most of the tasks involved in gathering
and producing responsive information,
and have applied an average hourly
wage of $150/hour for their labor. The
staff’s best estimate for the total labor
costs for up to 15 information requests
is $315,000.
The Commission estimates that the
capital or other non-labor costs
associated with the information requests
are minimal. Although the information
requests may necessitate that industry
members maintain the requested
information provided to the
Commission, they should already have
in place the means to compile and
maintain business records.
