Potential Tobacco Product Violations Reporting Form

This Information Collection Request (ICR) is for an extension of an existing approved collection. As part of its enforcement strategy, FDA created the Tobacco Call Center (with a toll-free number: 1-877-CTP-1373) to accept information from the public regarding potential violations of the Tobacco Control Act. Callers may report potential violations of the Tobacco Control Act, and FDA may conduct targeted followup investigations based on information received. When reporting a potential violation, callers will be asked to provide as much information about the violation as they can recall. The caller will also be asked to list the potential violator's Web site (if available), describe the potential violation, and provide any additional files or information pertinent to the potential violation. FDA currently provides a form that may be used to solicit this information from the caller (FDA Form 3779, Potential Tobacco Product Violations Reporting) and seeks renewal of Form 3779. This form is posted on FDA's Web site. The public and interested stakeholders will also be able to report information regarding possible violations of the Tobacco Control Act through the following methods: calling the Tobacco Call Center using CTP's toll-free number; using a fillable form found on FDA's Web site; downloading a PDF version of the form to send via email or mail to FDA; requesting a copy of FDA Form 3779 by contacting the Center for Tobacco Products and sending by mail to FDA; and sending a letter to FDA's Center for Tobacco Products. The public and interested stakeholders will also be able to report information regarding possible violations of the Tobacco Control Act in the future using FDA's tobacco violation reporting smartphone application.
