Download as PDF sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 175 / Tuesday, September 11, 2007 / Notices OMB Number: 1513–0058. Recordkeeping Requirement Number: 5130/1. Abstract: TTB audits brewers’ records to verify production of beer and cereal beverages, and to verify the quantity of beer removed subject to tax and removed without payment of tax. Current Actions: This information collection is being submitted as a revision. There is an increase to the number of respondents; however, there is no change to the burden. Since these are usual and customary records that the tobacco manufacturer would keep in the normal course of doing business, the burden remains at one (1). Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,640. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: One (1). Title: Recordkeeping for Tobacco Products Removed in Bond from Manufacturers’ Premises for Experimental Purposes—27 CFR 40.232(d). OMB Number: 1513–0110. Recordkeeping Requirement Number: None. Abstract: The prescribed records apply to manufacturers who ship tobacco products in bond for experimental purposes. TTB can examine these records to determine that the proprietor has complied with law and regulations that allow such tobacco products to be shipped in bond for experimental purposes without payment of the excise tax. Current Actions: This information collection is being submitted as a revision. There is an increase to the number of respondents; however, there is no change to the burden. These are usual and customary records that the tobacco manufacturer would keep in the normal course of doing business; therefore, the burden remains at one (1). Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Individuals or households. Estimated Number of Respondents: 170. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: One (1). Title: Statement of Ultimate Vendor (27 CFR 53.179(b)); Exemption Certificate (27 CFR 53.134(d)(2)); Exemption Certificate (27 CFR 53.135(c)); Statement of Manufacturer’s Vendee (27 CFR 53.133(d)); and Statement of Manufacturer’s Vendee (27 CFR 53.132(c)). VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:06 Sep 10, 2007 Jkt 211001 OMB Number(s): To be assigned. TTB Form Numbers: TTB I 5600.33; TTB I 5600.34; TTB I 5600.35; TTB I 5600.36, and TTB I 5600.37, respectively. Abstract: 27 CFR part 53 requires that, in some cases, persons who sell firearms or ammunition tax-free use specific exemption certificates or statements to support the tax-free sales. In addition, 27 CFR part 53 requires a specific statement from the ultimate vendor to support claims for certain tax refunds or credits. Although the regulations require firearms and ammunition excise taxpayers to design and reproduce these certificates or statements as specified in the regulations, in order to promote uniformity among excise taxpayers and compliance with regulations, these certificates and statements are needed. Current Actions: We are changing this information collection. First, we are changing the ‘‘I’’ in the form number to an ‘‘F.’’ Secondly, because some of the forms have the same name, we are changing the names of four of the forms to: Exemption Certificate (Use on Certain Vessels or Aircraft), TTB F 5600.34; Exemption Certificate (Use by State or Local Governments), TTB F 5600.35; Statement of Manufacturer’s Vendee (For Exports), TTB F 5600.36; and Statement of Manufacturer’s Vendee (Use in Further Manufacture), TTB F 5600.37. TTB F 5600.33 will remain the same, ‘‘Statement of Ultimate Vendor.’’ Thirdly, we added a Paperwork Reduction Act Notice to each of the forms. Finally, the regulations require the information collected in these forms to be collected and retained, but not in any particular format. The regulations offer these forms as merely a uniform way of collecting the required information. Therefore, we are seeking approval of these forms; but more importantly, we are seeking approval of the information collection requirements found in the regulatory sections listed above. Type of Review: Existing collection in use without an OMB control number. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; individuals or households; State or Local Governments. Estimated Number of Respondents: 7,000. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 52,500. Dated: September 5, 2007. Francis W. Foote, Director, Regulations and Rulings Division. [FR Doc.
