Title: Letterhead Applications and
Notices Filed by Brewers; Brewer’s
Notice.
OMB Number: 1513–0005.
TTB Form Number: F 5130.10.
TTB Recordkeeping Number: REC
5130/2.
Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code
(IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5401 requires brewers
to file a notice of intent to operate a
brewery. Under this authority, TTB
requires brewery applicants to submit
TTB F 5130.10, the Brewer’s Notice,
which collects information similar to
that collected on a permit application
and, when approved by TTB, is a
brewer’s authorization to operate. The
brewer maintains the approved Brewer’s
Notice and all associated documents at
the brewery premises, in complete and
current condition, readily available for
inspection by an appropriate TTB
officer. TTB regulations promulgated
under the authority of the IRC also
require that brewers submit letterhead
applications or notices to conduct
certain activities, such as to use a
brewery for purposes other than those
specifically authorized (see 26 U.S.C.
5411) or to operate a pilot brewery (see
26 U.S.C. 5417). Letterhead applications
and notices are necessary to identify
brewery activities so that TTB may
ensure that proposed operations would
comply with the IRC and would not
jeopardize Federal revenue.
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:
6,298.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 32,091.
Title: Application to Establish and
Operate Wine Premises, and Wine
Bond.
OMB Number: 1513–0009.
TTB Form Numbers: F 5120.25 and F
5120.36.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5351
through 5357 provides for the
establishment of bonded wine cellars,
bonded wineries, and taxpaid wine
bottling houses and, to establish such
wine premises, these IRC sections
require the filing of applications and
bonds. Under these authorities, TTB has
issued TTB F 5120.25, Application to
Establish and Operate Wine Premises, to
collect information that TTB uses to
determine the qualifications of an
PO 00000
Frm 00067

applicant applying to establish and
operate a new wine premises.
Proprietors of established wine premises
also use TTB F 5120.25 to report
changes to required information such as
location and ownership. Wine premises
respondents use TTB F 5120.36, Wine
Bond, to file bond coverage with TTB.
The bond may be secured through a
surety company or it may be secured
with collateral (cash, Treasury Bonds or
Treasury Notes). The bond protects the
revenue by ensuring adequate assets are
available to pay Federal excise tax
liabilities.
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:
4,495.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 3,345.
Title: Brewer’s Bond and Brewer’s
Bond Continuation Certificate/Brewer’s
Collateral Bond and Brewer’s Collateral
Bond Continuation Certificate.
OMB Number: 1513–0015.
TTB Form Numbers: F 5130.22, F
5130.23, F 5130.25, and F 5130.27.
Abstract: Subject to the exemption in
IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5551(d) for brewers
eligible to pay excise taxes on an annual
or quarterly basis, the IRC at 26 U.S.C.
5401(b) requires brewers to execute a
bond to protect the revenue. The
Brewer’s Bond (TTB F 5130.22) is a
contract between the brewer and an
authorized surety company to provide
such a bond. In lieu of a surety bond,
brewers may furnish certain United
States securities, cash, or cash
equivalent as collateral to protect the
revenue. The Brewer’s Collateral Bond
(TTB F 5130.25) is a form to facilitate
this transaction. Also under the IRC at
26 U.S.C. 5401(b), brewers’ bonds expire
every four years. Instead of filing a new
bond, a brewer may furnish a
continuation certificate to extend the
term of the bond, using the Brewer’s
Bond Continuation Certificate (TTB F
5130.23) or the Brewer’s Collateral Bond
Continuation Certificate (TTB F
5130.27), as appropriate.
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

Title: Withdrawal of Spirits, Specially
Denatured Spirits, or Wines for
Exportation.
OMB Number: 1513–0037.
TTB Form Number: F 5100.11.
Abstract: The IRC, at 26 U.S.C. 5066,
5214, and 5362, provides that distilled
spirits, denatured spirits, and wines
may be withdrawn from internal
revenue bonded premises without
payment of the Federal excise tax for
direct exportation or exportation to the
armed forces of the United States, or for
transfer to a foreign trade zone or a
customs bonded warehouse, or for use
as supplies on vessels or aircraft. These
IRC sections also state that such
withdrawals are subject to regulations
prescribed by the Secretary of the
Treasury. As required by TTB
regulations, exporters use TTB F
5100.11 to report these types of
removals without payment of tax.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting
this information collection for extension
purposes only. The information
collection, estimated number of

Title: Application for Transfer of
Spirits and/or Denatured Spirits in
Bond.
OMB Number: 1513–0038.
TTB Form Number: F 5100.16.
Abstract: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C.
5005(c), when a proprietor of a distilled
spirits plant (DSP) or an alcohol fuel
plant (AFP, a type of DSP) desires to
have spirits or denatured spirits
transferred to their plant from another
domestic plant, the proprietor must
make an application to receive such
spirits in bond. Under this authority, the
TTB regulations require that the
receiving proprietor file an application
for the transfer on TTB F 5100.16,
Application for Transfer of Spirits and/
or Denatured Spirits in Bond. TTB must
approve the application before the
transfer may occur. With the submission
of this form TTB, can ensure that the
receiving plant has adequate bond
coverage.

Title: Registration of Distilled Spirits
Plants and Miscellaneous Requests and
Notices for Distilled Spirits Plants, and
other Distilled Spirits Related Requests
and Notices.
OMB Number: 1513–0048.
TTB Form Number: F 5110.41.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5171
and 5172 provide that an application to
register a distilled spirits plant (DSP) be
made in conformity with regulations
issued by the Secretary of the Treasury,
while 26 U.S.C. 5201 requires DSPs to
operate in conformity with such
regulations. Under these authorities, the
TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 19
prescribe the use of TTB F 5110.41 to
register a DSP and require DSP
operators to submit various
miscellaneous notices or requests to
vary their operations from the
requirements of that part. In addition,
the regulations in part 19 require
persons who are neither registered DSPs
nor applicants for registration to submit
applications or notices related to certain
distilled spirits activities, such as the
establishment of an experimental DSP
or the use of spirits for research
purposes. The required information
assists TTB in determining a person’s
eligibility to establish and operate a
DSP, whether a variance from TTB’s
regulatory requirements should be
approved, and whether non-DSP entities
are eligible to engage in certain distilled
spirits-related activities.
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

Title: Report of Wine Premises
Operations.
OMB Number: 1513–0053.
TTB Form Number: F 5120.17.
Abstract: The IRC, at 26 U.S.C. 5367,
authorizes regulations requiring the

keeping of records and the filing of
returns related to wine cellar and
bottling house operations. Section 5555
of the IRC also generally requires any
person liable for tax under chapter 51 of
the IRC to keep records, provide
statements, and make returns as
prescribed by regulation. Under these
authorities, the TTB wine regulations in
27 CFR part 24 require wine premises to
file periodic operations reports on form
TTB F 5120.17. TTB uses this
information to ensure collection of the
Federal excise tax due on the wine
produced, and to ensure wine is
produced in accordance with applicable
Federal law and regulations. TTB also
uses this report to collect raw data on
wine premises activity for its monthly
statistical report on wine operations,
which is made available to the public on
TTB’s Web site.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting

Abstract: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C.
5061(a) and 5703(b), the Federal alcohol
and tobacco excise tax is collected on
the basis of a return. 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
provided on the return form to establish
the taxpayer’s identity, the amount and
type of taxes due, and the amount of
payments made. This information is
necessary for the collection of the
revenue.

OMB Number: 1513–0117.
TTB Form Number: F 5000.31.
Abstract: The Pay.gov system allows
businesses and members of the public to
pay various Federal taxes and fees, and
submit various reports and requests,
electronically. The TTB portion of the
Pay.gov system provides qualified
alcohol and tobacco proprietors with a
means to file tax returns and pay taxes,
and submit operations and production
reports, electronically rather than
submitting paper checks and documents
by mail or delivery service. TTB uses
the Pay.gov User Agreement to identify,
validate, approve, and register qualified
users of its portion of the Pay.gov
system.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting
this information collection as a revision.
While the information collection
remains the same, we are decreasing the
estimated number of respondents and
burden hours due to a decrease in the
number of industry members submitting
Pay.gov agreements to TTB.

and Application, Permit, and Report—
Distilled Spirits Products (Puerto Rico).
OMB Number: 1513–0123.
TTB Form Numbers: F 5100.21 and F
5110.51.
Abstract: In general, under the IRC at
26 U.S.C. 7652(a)(1), wine, beer, and
distilled spirits products produced in
Puerto Rico and shipped to the United
States for consumption or sale are
subject to the Federal excise taxes equal
to those imposed by the IRC for
domestically-produced products. TTB
regulations require the use of TTB F
5100.21 and TTB F 5110.51 by persons
shipping wine, beer, and certain
distilled spirits products produced in
Puerto Rico to the United States for
domestic consumption or sale. TTB F
5100.21 is an application and permit to
compute the Federal excise tax on,
taxpay, and withdraw wine or beer for
shipment to the United States. TTB F
5110.51 is an application and permit to
compute the tax on, taxpay, and
withdraw for shipment to the United
States certain distilled spirits products.

Abstract: Subject to the exemptions
under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5551(d) and
5181(c)(3), the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5173
and 5181 requires distilled spirits plants
(DSPs) and alcohol fuel plants (AFPs) to
furnish a bond. TTB F 5110.56 is used
by DSP and AFP proprietors to file bond
coverage with TTB. The bond may be
secured through a surety company or it
may be secured with collateral (cash or
Treasury Bonds or Treasury Notes). The

Information Collections Open for Comment
Currently, we are seeking comments on the following information
collections (forms, recordkeeping requirements, or questionnaires):
Title: Letterhead Applications and Notices Filed by Brewers;
Brewer's Notice.
OMB Number: 1513-0005.
TTB Form Number: F 5130.10.
TTB Recordkeeping Number: REC 5130/2.
Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5401
requires brewers to file a notice of intent to operate a brewery. Under
this authority, TTB requires brewery applicants to submit TTB F
5130.10, the Brewer's Notice, which collects information similar to
that collected on a permit application and, when approved by TTB, is a
brewer's authorization to operate. The brewer maintains the approved
Brewer's Notice and all associated documents at the brewery premises,
in complete and current condition, readily available for inspection by
an appropriate TTB officer. TTB regulations promulgated under the
authority of the IRC also require that brewers submit letterhead
applications or notices to conduct certain activities, such as to use a
brewery for purposes other than those specifically authorized (see 26
U.S.C. 5411) or to operate a pilot brewery (see 26 U.S.C. 5417).
Letterhead applications and notices are necessary to identify brewery
activities so that TTB may ensure that proposed operations would comply
with the IRC and would not jeopardize Federal revenue.
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: 6,298.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 32,091.
Title: Application to Establish and Operate Wine Premises, and Wine
Bond.
OMB Number: 1513-0009.
TTB Form Numbers: F 5120.25 and F 5120.36.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5351 through 5357 provides for the
establishment of bonded wine cellars, bonded wineries, and taxpaid wine
bottling houses and, to establish such wine premises, these IRC
sections require the filing of applications and bonds. Under these
authorities, TTB has issued TTB F 5120.25, Application to Establish and
Operate Wine Premises, to collect information that TTB uses to
determine the qualifications of an applicant applying to establish and
operate a new wine premises. Proprietors of established wine premises
also use TTB F 5120.25 to report changes to required information such
as location and ownership. Wine premises respondents use TTB F 5120.36,
Wine Bond, to file bond coverage with TTB. The bond may be secured
through a surety company or it may be secured with collateral (cash,
Treasury Bonds or Treasury Notes). The bond protects the revenue by
ensuring adequate assets are available to pay Federal excise tax
liabilities.
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: 4,495.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,345.
Title: Brewer's Bond and Brewer's Bond Continuation Certificate/
Brewer's Collateral Bond and Brewer's Collateral Bond Continuation
Certificate.
OMB Number: 1513-0015.
TTB Form Numbers: F 5130.22, F 5130.23, F 5130.25, and F 5130.27.
Abstract: Subject to the exemption in IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5551(d) for
brewers eligible to pay excise taxes on an annual or quarterly basis,
the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5401(b) requires brewers to execute a bond to
protect the revenue. The Brewer's Bond (TTB F 5130.22) is a contract
between the brewer and an authorized surety company to provide such a
bond. In lieu of a surety bond, brewers may furnish certain United
States securities, cash, or cash equivalent as collateral to protect
the revenue. The Brewer's Collateral Bond (TTB F 5130.25) is a form to
facilitate this transaction. Also under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5401(b),
brewers' bonds expire every four years. Instead of filing a new bond, a
brewer may furnish a continuation certificate to extend the term of the
bond, using the Brewer's Bond Continuation Certificate (TTB F 5130.23)
or the Brewer's Collateral Bond Continuation Certificate (TTB F
5130.27), as appropriate.
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.
[[Page 26839]]
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 652.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 364.
Title: Withdrawal of Spirits, Specially Denatured Spirits, or Wines
for Exportation.
OMB Number: 1513-0037.
TTB Form Number: F 5100.11.
Abstract: The IRC, at 26 U.S.C. 5066, 5214, and 5362, provides that
distilled spirits, denatured spirits, and wines may be withdrawn from
internal revenue bonded premises without payment of the Federal excise
tax for direct exportation or exportation to the armed forces of the
United States, or for transfer to a foreign trade zone or a customs
bonded warehouse, or for use as supplies on vessels or aircraft. These
IRC sections also state that such withdrawals are subject to
regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. As required by
TTB regulations, exporters use TTB F 5100.11 to report these types of
removals without payment of tax.
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: 150.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,500.
Title: Application for Transfer of Spirits and/or Denatured Spirits
in Bond.
OMB Number: 1513-0038.
TTB Form Number: F 5100.16.
Abstract: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5005(c), when a proprietor of
a distilled spirits plant (DSP) or an alcohol fuel plant (AFP, a type
of DSP) desires to have spirits or denatured spirits transferred to
their plant from another domestic plant, the proprietor must make an
application to receive such spirits in bond. Under this authority, the
TTB regulations require that the receiving proprietor file an
application for the transfer on TTB F 5100.16, Application for Transfer
of Spirits and/or Denatured Spirits in Bond. TTB must approve the
application before the transfer may occur. With the submission of this
form TTB, can ensure that the receiving plant has adequate bond
coverage.
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: 250.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 228.
Title: Registration of Distilled Spirits Plants and Miscellaneous
Requests and Notices for Distilled Spirits Plants, and other Distilled
Spirits Related Requests and Notices.
OMB Number: 1513-0048.
TTB Form Number: F 5110.41.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5171 and 5172 provide that an
application to register a distilled spirits plant (DSP) be made in
conformity with regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury,
while 26 U.S.C. 5201 requires DSPs to operate in conformity with such
regulations. Under these authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR
part 19 prescribe the use of TTB F 5110.41 to register a DSP and
require DSP operators to submit various miscellaneous notices or
requests to vary their operations from the requirements of that part.
In addition, the regulations in part 19 require persons who are neither
registered DSPs nor applicants for registration to submit applications
or notices related to certain distilled spirits activities, such as the
establishment of an experimental DSP or the use of spirits for research
purposes. The required information assists TTB in determining a
person's eligibility to establish and operate a DSP, whether a variance
from TTB's regulatory requirements should be approved, and whether non-
DSP entities are eligible to engage in certain distilled spirits-
related activities.
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: 2,276.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,883.
Title: Report of Wine Premises Operations.
OMB Number: 1513-0053.
TTB Form Number: F 5120.17.
Abstract: The IRC, at 26 U.S.C. 5367, authorizes regulations
requiring the keeping of records and the filing of returns related to
wine cellar and bottling house operations. Section 5555 of the IRC also
generally requires any person liable for tax under chapter 51 of the
IRC to keep records, provide statements, and make returns as prescribed
by regulation. Under these authorities, the TTB wine regulations in 27
CFR part 24 require wine premises to file periodic operations reports
on form TTB F 5120.17. TTB uses this information to ensure collection
of the Federal excise tax due on the wine produced, and to ensure wine
is produced in accordance with applicable Federal law and regulations.
TTB also uses this report to collect raw data on wine premises activity
for its monthly statistical report on wine operations, which is made
available to the public on TTB's Web site.
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: 6,034.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 34,711.
Title: Excise Tax Return.
OMB Number: 1513-0083.
TTB Form Number: F 5000.24.
Abstract: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5061(a) and 5703(b), the
Federal alcohol and tobacco excise tax is collected on the basis of a
return. 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 provided on the return form to
establish the taxpayer's identity, the amount and type of taxes due,
and the amount of payments made. This information is necessary for the
collection of the revenue.
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: 18,479.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 127,513.
Title: Pay.gov User Agreement.
[[Page 26840]]
OMB Number: 1513-0117.
TTB Form Number: F 5000.31.
Abstract: The Pay.gov system allows businesses and members of the
public to pay various Federal taxes and fees, and submit various
reports and requests, electronically. The TTB portion of the Pay.gov
system provides qualified alcohol and tobacco proprietors with a means
to file tax returns and pay taxes, and submit operations and production
reports, electronically rather than submitting paper checks and
documents by mail or delivery service. TTB uses the Pay.gov User
Agreement to identify, validate, approve, and register qualified users
of its portion of the Pay.gov system.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting this information collection as a
revision. While the information collection remains the same, we are
decreasing the estimated number of respondents and burden hours due to
a decrease in the number of industry members submitting Pay.gov
agreements to TTB.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 950.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 80.

Rico), and Application, Permit, and Report--Distilled Spirits Products
(Puerto Rico).
OMB Number: 1513-0123.
TTB Form Numbers: F 5100.21 and F 5110.51.
Abstract: In general, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7652(a)(1), wine,
beer, and distilled spirits products produced in Puerto Rico and
shipped to the United States for consumption or sale are subject to the
Federal excise taxes equal to those imposed by the IRC for
domestically-produced products. TTB regulations require the use of TTB
F 5100.21 and TTB F 5110.51 by persons shipping wine, beer, and certain
distilled spirits products produced in Puerto Rico to the United States
for domestic consumption or sale. TTB F 5100.21 is an application and
permit to compute the Federal excise tax on, taxpay, and withdraw wine
or beer for shipment to the United States. TTB F 5110.51 is an
application and permit to compute the tax on, taxpay, and withdraw for
shipment to the United States certain distilled spirits products.
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: 35.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 35.
Title: Distilled Spirits Bond.
OMB Number: 1513-0125.
TTB Form Number: F 5110.56.
Abstract: Subject to the exemptions under the IRC at 26 U.S.C.
5551(d) and 5181(c)(3), the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5173 and 5181 requires
distilled spirits plants (DSPs) and alcohol fuel plants (AFPs) to
furnish a bond. TTB F 5110.56 is used by DSP and AFP proprietors to
file bond coverage with TTB. The bond may be secured through a surety
company or it may be secured with collateral (cash or Treasury Bonds or
Treasury Notes). The bond protects the revenue by ensuring adequate
assets are available to pay Federal excise tax liabilities.
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: 358.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 716.
