Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 63 / Tuesday, April 4, 2017 / Notices
November 3, 2016 the Department
published a Final Rule (see 81 FR
76800) that changed the number of U.S.
air carriers that account for at least 1
percent to .5 percent of domestic
scheduled-service passenger revenues
who must report oversales on all
operations with 30 seats or larger
aircraft that depart a U.S. airport.
Carriers do not report data from
inbound international flights to the
United States because the protections of
14 CFR part 250 Oversales do not apply
to these flights. The report allows the
Department to monitor the effectiveness
of its oversales rule and take
enforcement action when necessary.
The involuntarily denied-boarding rate
has decreased from 4.38 per 10,000
passengers in 1980 to 0.72 for the
quarter ended December 2015. Without
Form 251, determining the effectiveness
of the Department’s oversales rule
would be impossible. The publishing of
the carriers’ individual denied boarding
rates has diminished the need for more
intrusive regulation. The rate of denied
boarding can be examined as a
continuing fitness factor. This rate
provides an insight into a carrier’s
customer service practices. A rapid
sustained increase in the rate of denied
boarding may indicate operational
difficulties. Because the rate of denied
boarding is released quarterly, travelers
and travel agents can select carriers with
lower incidences of bumping
passengers. This information is
available in the Air Travel Consumer
Report at: https://
airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/reports/
index.htm. The Air Travel Consumer
Report is also sent to newspapers,
magazines, and trade journals. The
public availability of this information
deters carriers from setting unreasonable
overbooking rates—a market-based
mechanism that is more efficient than
direct regulation of those rates.
The Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501 note) requires
a statistical agency to clearly identify
information it collects for non-statistical
purposes. BTS hereby notifies the
respondents and the public that BTS
uses the information it collects under
this OMB approval for non-statistical
purposes including, but not limited to,
publication of both Respondent’s
identity and its data, submission of the
information to agencies outside BTS for
review, analysis, and possible use in
regulatory and other administrative
matters.

Information Collections Open for
Comment
Currently, we are seeking comments
on the following information collections
(forms, recordkeeping requirements, or
questionnaires):
Title: Notice of Release of Tobacco
Products, Cigarette Papers, or Cigarette
Tubes.
OMB Number: 1513–0025.
TTB Form Number: F 5200.11.
Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code
(IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5704 provides for the
release of imported or returned tobacco
products and cigarette papers and tubes
from customs custody, without pay of
tax, for delivery to an export warehouse
proprietor or a manufacturer of tobacco
products or cigarette papers and tubes,
in accordance with regulations issued
by the Secretary of the Treasury. The
TTB F 5200.11 is used at importation to
document the release of such articles to
a proprietor or manufacturer authorized
to receive such articles. TTB F 5200.11
is used by industry members who are
not filing their entry information
electronically through the U.S. Customs
and Border Protection Automated
Commercial Environment (ACE), since
those filing electronically submit the
relevant information as data elements
through ACE. (The submission of
information through ACE is captured
under OMB Number 1513–0064.)
Current Actions: TTB is submitting
this collection as a revision. The
information collected on TTB F 5200.11
generally remains the same, however
new data fields have been added for the
Employer Identification Number of the
recipient manufacturer or proprietor
and the TTB permit number of the
importer. TTB is also clarifying the titles
of certain data fields and the form’s
instructions to improve the accuracy of
the information reported by the
recipient of the imported or returned
articles. As for the collection’s burden,
TTB is decreasing the estimated number
of annual respondents and burden
hours. TTB now receives fewer of these
forms due to a decrease in the overall
number of tobacco industry members
and changes in industry practice such as
the increased use of the electronic ACE
system.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other
for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
10.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 18.
Title: Signing Authority for Corporate
and LLC Officials.
OMB Number: 1513–0036.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:21 Apr 03, 2017
Jkt 241001
TTB Form Number: F 5100.1.
Abstract: A corporation or limited
liability company (LLC) uses TTB F
5100.1 to identify specific corporate or
LLC officials or employees, by name or
by position title, authorized by the
corporation’s or LLC’s articles of
incorporation, bylaws, or governing
officials to act on behalf of, or sign
documents for, the entity in TTB
matters.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting
this information collection for extension
purposes only. The information
collection, estimated number of
respondents, and estimated number of
burden hours remain unchanged.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other
for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2,200.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 502.
Title: Notice of Change in Status of
Plant.
OMB Number: 1513–0044.
TTB Form Number: None.
Abstract: Under the Internal Revenue
Code at 26 U.S.C. 5178(a), a distilled
spirits plant (DSP) is a delineated place
on which only certain authorized
activities may be conducted. However,
under 26 U.S.C. 5178(b), the Secretary
of the Treasury may authorize other
businesses on a DSP’s premises upon
application. The TTB regulations at 27
CFR 19.141 through 19.144 require DSP
proprietors to notify TTB when a DSP
or part of a DSP is to be alternated
between different proprietors or when a
DSP or part of a DSP is to be alternated
between different types of operations,
such as bonded wine cellar, taxpaid
wine bottling house, general premises,
manufacturer of eligible flavors, and
volatile fruit flavor concentrate
premises. To protect the revenue and
ensure compliance with relevant laws
and regulations, the letterhead notices
and records required under this
information collection alert TTB to
these DSP alternations.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting
this collection as a revision. The
information collection remains
unchanged. However, TTB is increasing
the estimated number of annual
respondents and burden hours due to an
increase in the number of DSPs
regulated by TTB.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other
for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
200.

Title: Special Tax Renewal
Registration and Return/Special Tax
Location Registration Listing.
OMB Number: 1513–0113.
TTB Form Number: F 5630.5R.
Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code
at 26 U.S.C. 5731 requires
manufacturers of tobacco products,
manufacturers of cigarette papers and
tubes, and export warehouse proprietors
to pay an annual occupational tax. The
IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5732 requires that this
tax be ‘‘paid on the basis on a return’’
under regulations issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury. The TTB F
5630.5R, which TTB sends out annually
to these occupational taxpayers, meets
this purpose. The information collected
on the form is essential to TTB’s
collecting, processing, and accounting
for these occupational taxes.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting
this information collection for extension
purposes only. The information
collection, estimated number of
respondents, and estimated number of
burden hours remain unchanged.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other
for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
400.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 100.
Title: Records to Support Tax Free
and Tax Overpayment and Sales of
Firearms and Ammunition.
OMB Number: 1513–0128.
TTB Form Numbers: F 5600.33,
5600.34, 5600.35, 5600.36, and 5600.37.
Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code
(IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 4181 imposes a tax on
the sale of firearms and ammunition.
However, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C.
4221(a), certain sales may be made taxfree, including sales made for further
manufacture, export, or use as supplies
on vessels or aircraft, or sales made to
a State or local government for its
exclusive use. In addition, for such sales
where the tax has been paid, the tax is
considered an overpayment under the
IRC at 26 U.S.C. 6416(b)(2) and (3). In
order to protect the revenue, the TTB
regulations in 27 CFR part 53 prescribe
that manufacturers must maintain
records containing specified
information supporting such tax-free or
tax-overpaid sales. TTB provides these
forms which, when completed, provide
the required information. The forms are
maintained by the respondent at their
business premises, and TTB may
examine these forms during audits in
order to protect the revenue.

TTB Form Number: None.
Abstract: TTB uses the surveys and
focus groups approved under this
collection of information to gather
customer and stakeholder feedback on
TTB programs in an efficient, timely
manner. TTB uses the collected
information to help improve service
delivery and to help ensure that its
customers and stakeholders have

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
OMB for each collection of information
that they conduct or sponsor.

requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the OCC is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
The OCC is proposing to extend OMB
approval of the following information
collection:
Title: Assessment of Fees.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0223.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Type of Review: Regular review.
Abstract: The OCC is requesting
comment on its proposed extension,
without change, of the information
collection titled, ‘‘Assessment of Fees—
12 CFR part 8.’’ The OCC is authorized
by the National Bank Act (for national
banks) and the Home Owners Loan Act
(for Federal savings associations) to
collect assessments, fees, and other
charges as necessary or appropriate to
carry out the responsibilities of the
OCC. 12 U.S.C. 482 and 1467(a),
respectively; 12 U.S.C. 16 (for national
banks and Federal savings associations).
The OCC requires independent credit
card banks and independent credit card
Federal savings associations
(collectively, independent credit card
institutions) to pay an additional
assessment based on receivables
attributable to accounts owned by the
bank or Federal savings association.
Independent credit card institutions are
national banks or Federal savings
associations that primarily engage in
credit card operations and are not
affiliated with a full service national
bank or Federal savings association.
Under 12 CFR 8.2(c)(2), the OCC also
has the authority to assess an
independent credit card institution that
is affiliated with a full-service national
bank or full-service Federal savings
association if the OCC concludes that
the affiliation is intended to evade 12
CFR part 8.
The OCC requires independent credit
card institutions to provide the OCC
with ‘‘receivables attributable’’ data.
‘‘Receivables attributable’’ refers to the
total amount of outstanding balances
due on credit card accounts owned by
independent credit card institutions (the
receivables attributable to those
accounts) on the last day of an
assessment period, minus receivables

Information Collections Open for Comment
Currently, we are seeking comments on the following information
collections (forms, recordkeeping requirements, or questionnaires):
Title: Notice of Release of Tobacco Products, Cigarette Papers, or
Cigarette Tubes.
OMB Number: 1513-0025.
TTB Form Number: F 5200.11.
Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5704
provides for the release of imported or returned tobacco products and
cigarette papers and tubes from customs custody, without pay of tax,
for delivery to an export warehouse proprietor or a manufacturer of
tobacco products or cigarette papers and tubes, in accordance with
regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. The TTB F 5200.11
is used at importation to document the release of such articles to a
proprietor or manufacturer authorized to receive such articles. TTB F
5200.11 is used by industry members who are not filing their entry
information electronically through the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), since those filing
electronically submit the relevant information as data elements through
ACE. (The submission of information through ACE is captured under OMB
Number 1513-0064.)
Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision.
The information collected on TTB F 5200.11 generally remains the same,
however new data fields have been added for the Employer Identification
Number of the recipient manufacturer or proprietor and the TTB permit
number of the importer. TTB is also clarifying the titles of certain
data fields and the form's instructions to improve the accuracy of the
information reported by the recipient of the imported or returned
articles. As for the collection's burden, TTB is decreasing the
estimated number of annual respondents and burden hours. TTB now
receives fewer of these forms due to a decrease in the overall number
of tobacco industry members and changes in industry practice such as
the increased use of the electronic ACE system.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 18.
Title: Signing Authority for Corporate and LLC Officials.
OMB Number: 1513-0036.
TTB Form Number: F 5100.1.
Abstract: A corporation or limited liability company (LLC) uses TTB
F 5100.1 to identify specific corporate or LLC officials or employees,
by name or by position title, authorized by the corporation's or LLC's
articles of incorporation, bylaws, or governing officials to act on
behalf of, or sign documents for, the entity in TTB matters.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting this information collection for
extension purposes only. The information collection, estimated number
of respondents, and estimated number of burden hours remain unchanged.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,200.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 502.
Title: Notice of Change in Status of Plant.
OMB Number: 1513-0044.

Abstract: Under the Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 5178(a), a
distilled spirits plant (DSP) is a delineated place on which only
certain authorized activities may be conducted. However, under 26
U.S.C. 5178(b), the Secretary of the Treasury may authorize other
businesses on a DSP's premises upon application. The TTB regulations at
27 CFR 19.141 through 19.144 require DSP proprietors to notify TTB when
a DSP or part of a DSP is to be alternated between different
proprietors or when a DSP or part of a DSP is to be alternated between
different types of operations, such as bonded wine cellar, taxpaid wine
bottling house, general premises, manufacturer of eligible flavors, and
volatile fruit flavor concentrate premises. To protect the revenue and
ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations, the letterhead
notices and records required under this information collection alert
TTB to these DSP alternations.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision.
The information collection remains unchanged. However, TTB is
increasing the estimated number of annual respondents and burden hours
due to an increase in the number of DSPs regulated by TTB.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 200.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1000.
Title: Special Tax Renewal Registration and Return/Special Tax
Location Registration Listing.
OMB Number: 1513-0113.
TTB Form Number: F 5630.5R.
Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 5731 requires
manufacturers of tobacco products, manufacturers of cigarette papers
and tubes, and export warehouse proprietors to pay an annual
occupational tax. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5732 requires that this tax be
``paid on the basis on a return'' under regulations issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury. The TTB F 5630.5R, which TTB sends out
annually to these occupational taxpayers, meets this purpose. The
information collected on the form is essential to TTB's collecting,
processing, and accounting for these occupational taxes.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting this information collection for
extension purposes only. The information collection, estimated number
of respondents, and estimated number of burden hours remain unchanged.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 400.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 100.
Title: Records to Support Tax Free and Tax Overpayment and Sales of
Firearms and Ammunition.
OMB Number: 1513-0128.
TTB Form Numbers: F 5600.33, 5600.34, 5600.35, 5600.36, and
5600.37.
Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 4181 imposes
a tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition. However, under the IRC at
26 U.S.C. 4221(a), certain sales may be made tax-free, including sales
made for further manufacture, export, or use as supplies on vessels or
aircraft, or sales made to a State or local government for its
exclusive use. In addition, for such sales where the tax has been paid,
the tax is considered an overpayment under the IRC at 26 U.S.C.
6416(b)(2) and (3). In order to protect the revenue, the TTB
regulations in 27 CFR part 53 prescribe that manufacturers must
maintain records containing specified information supporting such tax-
free or tax-overpaid sales. TTB provides these forms which, when
completed, provide the required information. The forms are maintained
by the respondent at their business premises, and TTB may examine these
forms during audits in order to protect the revenue.
