OMB Number: 1513–0027. TTB Form Number: TTB F 5200.14. Abstract: Manufacturers of tobacco products, cigarette papers, or cigarette tubes, cigar manufacturers operating in VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:18 May 27, 2015 Jkt 235001 a customs bonded manufacturing warehouse, and export warehouse proprietors may remove such products without payment of the Federal tobacco excise tax for export or for consumption beyond the jurisdiction of the internal revenue laws of the United States, under 26 U.S.C. 5704(b). The manufacturer or export warehouse proprietor records these removals on TTB F 5200.14, which is also signed by the recipient or a customs officer, certifying the appropriate receipt of the products. The form, therefore, is used to show that these tax-free removals are in fact delivered in compliance with the law. Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. The data collected on the form remains the same. However, TTB is changing the title of this information collection and the form to ‘‘Removals of Tobacco Products, Cigarette Papers and Tubes Without Payment of Tax’’ to more clearly reflect the purpose of the collection and form. As a convenience for industry members, TTB also is adding a continuation page for Item 10, Shipment Description, so that they may describe additional shipments on the form itself instead of having to provide their own continuation page(s) or use an additional form. TTB is also making other minor typographic corrections to the form. The number of respondents and burden hours for this collection remain the same. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits. Estimated Number of Respondents: 280. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 61,600. Title: Excise Tax Return. OMB Number: 1513–0083. TTB Form Number: TTB F 5000.24. Abstract: TTB is responsible for the collection of the Federal excise taxes imposed by 26 U.S.C. chapters 51 and 52 on distilled spirits, wine, beer, tobacco products, and cigarette papers and tubes. Under 26 U.S.C. 5061(a) and 5703(b), the tax is collected on the basis of a return, and, therefore, businesses, other than those in Puerto Rico, report their Federal excise tax liability on those products on TTB F 5000.24, Excise Tax Return. TTB uses the information requested on the return form to establish the taxpayer’s identity, the amount and type of taxes due, and the amount of payments made. Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. The form remains unchanged. We are updating the number of respondents to reflect an PO 00000 Frm 00110 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 increase in the number of taxpayers filing excise tax returns. However, although the number of respondents has increased, we are updating the annual burden hours to show a decrease, because of a decrease in the number of taxpayers who file the form semimonthly. Regulatory changes now allow more alcohol excise taxpayers to file quarterly rather than semi-monthly, which results in a decrease in the total number of responses. In addition, more taxpayers meet the criteria for filing annually rather than semi-monthly, which also contributes to the decrease in the number of responses. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits. Estimated Number of Respondents: 18,371. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 127,513. Title: Tobacco Bond. OMB Number: 1513–0103. TTB Form Numbers: TTB F 5200.25, TTB F 5200.26, and TTB F 5200.29. Abstract: TTB requires a collateral bond (TTB F 5200.25) or a corporate surety bond (TTB F 5200.26) to ensure payment of the Federal excise tax on tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes removed from the factory or warehouse subject to tax. Tobacco industry members also may use TTB F 5200.29, which is a combination of TTB F 5200.25 and TTB F 5200.26, to satisfy the TTB bond requirements. Manufacturers of tobacco products or cigarette papers and tubes and proprietors of export warehouses, along with corporate sureties, are the respondents for this form. Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. The forms remain unchanged. However, we are revising the burden estimate to reflect an increase in the number of respondents and the resulting burden hours. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits. Estimated Number of Respondents: 200. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 325. Title: Formula and Process for Domestic and Imported Alcohol Beverages. OMB Number: 1513–0122. TTB Form Number: TTB F 5100.51. Abstract: This form is used by industry members to obtain approval of formulas for alcohol beverage products where the TTB regulations require such E:\FR\FM\28MYN1.SGM 28MYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 102 / Thursday, May 28, 2015 / Notices approval. TTB uses the information provided on TTB F 5100.51 to ensure appropriate classification of distilled spirits, wine, and malt beverages for labeling and taxation purposes. The form collects information regarding the person filing, the type of product made, the ingredients used, and the manufacturing process. Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. The form remains unchanged. However, we are revising the burden estimate to reflect an increase in the number of respondents and the resulting increase in burden hours. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits. Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,700. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 7,254.

Background The Kingpin Act became law on December 3, 1999. The Kingpin Act establishes a program targeting the activities of significant foreign narcotics traffickers and their organizations on a worldwide basis. It provides a statutory framework for the imposition of sanctions against significant foreign narcotics traffickers and their organizations on a worldwide basis, with the objective of denying their businesses and agents access to the U.S. financial system and the benefits of trade and transactions involving U.S. companies and individuals. The Kingpin Act blocks all property and interests in property, subject to U.S. jurisdiction, owned or controlled by significant foreign narcotics traffickers as identified by the President. In addition, the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, may designate and block the property and interests in property, subject to U.S. jurisdiction, of persons who are found to be: (1) Materially assisting in, or providing financial or technological support for or to, or providing goods or services in support of, the international narcotics trafficking activities of a person designated pursuant to the Kingpin Act; (2) owned, controlled, or directed by, or acting for or on behalf of, a person designated pursuant to the Kingpin Act; or (3) playing a significant role in international narcotics trafficking.

Trade Bureau (TTB), as part of their continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork and respondent burden, invite the general public and other 
Federal agencies to comment on the proposed or continuing information

approval of the relevant information collection. All comments are part 
of the public record and subject to disclosure. Please do not include 
any confidential or inappropriate material in your comments.

including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the information collection's

Information Collections Open for Comment

    Currently, we are seeking comments on the following forms, 
recordkeeping requirements, or questionnaires:
    Title: Taxable Articles Without Payment of Tax.
    OMB Number: 1513-0027.
    TTB Form Number: TTB F 5200.14.
    Abstract: Manufacturers of tobacco products, cigarette papers, or 
cigarette tubes, cigar manufacturers operating in a customs bonded 
manufacturing warehouse, and export warehouse proprietors may remove 
such products without payment of the Federal tobacco excise tax for 
export or for consumption beyond the jurisdiction of the internal 
revenue laws of the United States, under 26 U.S.C. 5704(b). The 
manufacturer or export warehouse proprietor records these removals on 
TTB F 5200.14, which is also signed by the recipient or a customs 
officer, certifying the appropriate receipt of the products. The form, 
therefore, is used to show that these tax-free removals are in fact 
delivered in compliance with the law.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
The data collected on the form remains the same. However, TTB is 
changing the title of this information collection and the form to 
``Removals of Tobacco Products, Cigarette Papers and Tubes Without 
Payment of Tax'' to more clearly reflect the purpose of the collection 
and form. As a convenience for industry members, TTB also is adding a 
continuation page for Item 10, Shipment Description, so that they may 
describe additional shipments on the form itself instead of having to 
provide their own continuation page(s) or use an additional form. TTB 
is also making other minor typographic corrections to the form. The 
number of respondents and burden hours for this collection remain the 
same.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 280.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 61,600.

    Title: Excise Tax Return.
    OMB Number: 1513-0083.
    TTB Form Number: TTB F 5000.24.
    Abstract: TTB is responsible for the collection of the Federal 
excise taxes imposed by 26 U.S.C. chapters 51 and 52 on distilled 
spirits, wine, beer, tobacco products, and cigarette papers and tubes. 
Under 26 U.S.C. 5061(a) and 5703(b), the tax is collected on the basis 
of a return, and, therefore, businesses, other than those in Puerto 
Rico, report their Federal excise tax liability on those products on 
TTB F 5000.24, Excise Tax Return. TTB uses the information requested on 
the return form to establish the taxpayer's identity, the amount and 
type of taxes due, and the amount of payments made.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
The form remains unchanged. We are updating the number of respondents 
to reflect an increase in the number of taxpayers filing excise tax 
returns. However, although the number of respondents has increased, we 
are updating the annual burden hours to show a decrease, because of a 
decrease in the number of taxpayers who file the form semi-monthly. 
Regulatory changes now allow more alcohol excise taxpayers to file 
quarterly rather than semi-monthly, which results in a decrease in the 
total number of responses. In addition, more taxpayers meet the 
criteria for filing annually rather than semi-monthly, which also 
contributes to the decrease in the number of responses.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 18,371.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 127,513.

    Title: Tobacco Bond.
    OMB Number: 1513-0103.
    TTB Form Numbers: TTB F 5200.25, TTB F 5200.26, and TTB F 5200.29.
    Abstract: TTB requires a collateral bond (TTB F 5200.25) or a 
corporate surety bond (TTB F 5200.26) to ensure payment of the Federal 
excise tax on tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes removed 
from the factory or warehouse subject to tax. Tobacco industry members 
also may use TTB F 5200.29, which is a combination of TTB F 5200.25 and 
TTB F 5200.26, to satisfy the TTB bond requirements. Manufacturers of 
tobacco products or cigarette papers and tubes and proprietors of 
export warehouses, along with corporate sureties, are the respondents 
for this form.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
The forms remain unchanged. However, we are revising the burden 
estimate to reflect an increase in the number of respondents and the 
resulting burden hours.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 200.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 325.

    Title: Formula and Process for Domestic and Imported Alcohol 
Beverages.
    OMB Number: 1513-0122.
    TTB Form Number: TTB F 5100.51.
    Abstract: This form is used by industry members to obtain approval 
of formulas for alcohol beverage products where the TTB regulations 
require such
