The FTC already has approval to request sales and marketing data from the largest cigarette and smokeless tobacco companies. The Commission now proposes to modify the existing collection instrument to seek information related to heated, non-combusted tobacco products. The Commission proposes to add question #12 to what was already approved by the Office of Management and Budget. Heated, non-combusted cigarettes already fall within the definition of cigarettes, which are covered by the currently approved information collection. However, the electronic devices in which such cigarettes are heated do not fall within the definition of cigarettes, and thus are not covered by the approved information collection. The FTC’s understanding of the overall market for nicotine-based products is incomplete without more information regarding the electronic devices that contain heated, non-combusted cigarettes.

As noted above, the FTC’s understanding of the overall market for nicotine-based products is incomplete without more information regarding the electronic devices that contain heated, non-combusted cigarettes. The Commission proposes asking each cigarette manufacturing recipient to state whether it sold heated, non-combusted, cigarettes during a calendar year, and if so to report for the calendar year, the net number of heating devices designed to be used with heated cigarettes that it sold in the United States, the net dollar value of such devices sold, the net number of such devices it gave away in the United States, and the total amount it expended on the advertising, merchandising, or promotion in the United States of such devices. The proposed program change would add an estimated 106 annual hours of burden to the currently authorized 2,940 hours per year under the existing clearance.
