\1\ For the purpose of burden calculation, it is assumed that all States would apply for each waiver. In reality
  it expected that only a small number will apply.                                                              

(2) Tobacco Regulation for Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment--45 
CFR 96; Extension With No Change

    This final rule provides guidance to States regarding compliance 
with section 1926 of the Public Health Service Act related to sale and 
distribution of tobacco to minors. The final rule implements section 
1926 by specifying the content of the State's annual report on the 
provisions of the rule and application for block grant funds. The 
reporting burden shown below represents the average total hours to 
assemble, format, and produce the block grant provision on minors' 
access to tobacco, in accordance with the requirements of 45 CFR 96. 
These burden hours will be counted towards the total burden for the FY 
1999 SAPT Block Grant Application Format for which separate approval 
will be requested.
