brewery activities so that TTB may
ensure that proposed operations would

for-profits.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 14,870.
OMB Number: 1513–0010.

Title: Letterhead Applications and

volume of taxable wine produced. The
IRC also imposes standards for natural
wine, cellar treatment of natural wine,
agricultural wine, and the labeling of all

protect the product integrity of the
wine. TTB therefore requires proprietors

and treatment activities to ensure that
the intended activity will not jeopardize
the revenue or defraud consumers.

collection of Federal excise taxes on
firearms, ammunition, distilled
spirits,wine, beer, tobacco products, and
cigarette papers and tubes, and the
collection of special occupational taxes
related to tobacco products and cigarette
papers and tubes. The Internal Revenue
Code (IRC) requires that these excise
and special occupational taxes be
collected on the basis of a return and
requires taxpayers to maintain records
that support the information in the
return. The IRC also allows for the filing
of claims for the abatement or refund of
taxes under certain circumstances, and
the IRC requires claimants to maintain
records to support such claims. The
maintenance of records is necessary to
determine the appropriate tax liability,
verify computations on tax returns,
determine the adequacy of bond
coverage, and verify the correctness of
claims and other adjustments to tax
liability.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits.
