The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
is requesting extension of approval of a generic for collecting
information through the use of quantitative methods for studies
about tobacco products. FDA will need to employ quantitative
research, including surveys and experimental studies to assess
knowledge and perceptions about tobacco-related topics with
specific target audiences. FDA will only submit an individual
generic collection for approval under this generic clearance if the
individual collection meets the outlined conditions.

The Food and Drug
Administration is submitting this non-substantive change request to
add a second year of data collection to the individual generic
approval “Monthly Monitoring Study” (ICR Reference
201907-0910-006). The purpose of the Monthly Monitoring Study is to
assess changes in vape use and perceptions. Given the evolving
tobacco product landscape resulting from changes in product
regulations, e-cigarette brand and flavor availability, and the
COVID-19 pandemic which has impacted youth vaping, we would like to
extend our data collection for another year to continue to track
how these factors impact youth’s use and perceptions around vaping
in order to inform future communication and educational
initiatives. We estimate the burden to be identical for the second
year to the first year. Therefore, we are doubling the previous
estimate to cover the second-year burden. The new estimated total
is 13,650 hours, an increase by 6,824 hours. There are no other
changes to the collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
