Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits. Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 10. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 50. Estimated Per-response Burden: 1 hour. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 50 hours. Title: Beer for Exportation. OMB Number: 1513–0114. TTB Form Number: TTB F 5130.12. Abstract: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5051, Federal excise tax is imposed on beer removed from domestic breweries for consumption or sale. However, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5053, beer may be removed from the brewery without payment of tax for export or for use as supplies on certain vessels and aircraft, subject to the prescribed regulations. Under that authority, TTB requires brewers to give notice of such removals on form TTB F 5130.12. Alternatively, respondents may apply to TTB to use an alternative method to report beer removed for export via a monthly summary report, provided that the respondent completes TTB F 5130.12 for each export shipment and maintains that form and the related supporting export records, such as bills of lading, at the respondent’s premises. TTB requires this information to ensure that exportation of the beer took place as claimed and that untaxpaid beer is not diverted into the domestic market. Current Actions: This information collection and its estimated burden remain unchanged. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits. Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 175. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 6,020. Estimated Per-response Burden: 1.65 hours. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 9,933. Title: Bond for Drawback Under 26 U.S.C. 5111. OMB Number: 1513–0116. TTB Form Number: TTB F 5154.3. Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5111– 5114 authorizes drawback (refund) of all but $1.00 per gallon of the Federal excise tax paid on distilled spirits, if the spirits are subsequently used in the manufacture of certain nonbeverage products such as medicines, food products, flavors, and perfumes. Persons VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:45 Nov 26, 2018 Jkt 247001 making such products must file claims proving their eligibility for drawback, and such claims may be filed on either a monthly or a quarterly basis. However, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5114(b) authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to require persons filing monthly claims to file a bond in order to protect the revenue. Under the TTB regulations, monthly claimants file their bond with TTB using form TTB F 5154.3. Current Actions: This information collection remains unchanged, and TTB is submitting it only for extension purposes. However, due to a change in agency estimates, TTB is decreasing the number of annual respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with this information collection. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits. Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 10. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 10. Estimated Per-response Burden: 24 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 4 hours. Title: Certificate of Taxpaid Alcohol. OMB Number: 1513–0131. TTB Form Number: TTB F 5100.4. Abstract: Under the TTB regulations at 27 CFR 17.181, flavoring extracts and medicinal preparations produced in the United States and then exported are eligible for drawback of all Federal alcohol excise taxes paid on the distilled spirits used to make the product, as provided in 19 U.S.C. 1313(d). These export drawback claims are made to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and may cover either the full rate of the distilled spirits excise tax paid on the alcohol if the respondent has made no nonbeverage drawback claim to TTB under 26 U.S.C. 5114 (see OMB control number 1513–0030), or may cover the remainder of the excise tax paid on the spirits if a claim under 26 U.S.C. 5114 was previously made. When such a drawback claim is to be made, the industry member submits TTB F 5100.4 to TTB, and TTB certifies the form to show that the excise taxes claimed for drawback were paid and not previously refunded. TTB returns the certified form to the respondent, who then submits it to CBP as part of the respondent’s export drawback claim. Current Actions: This information collection remains unchanged, and TTB is submitting it only for extension purposes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) was established by title I of Public Law (Pub.

VA has been administering PCAFC continuously since May 5, 2011, and has implemented this program through its regulations in Part 71 of title 38 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Through PCAFC, VA provides family caregivers of eligible veterans and servicemembers (as defined in 38 CFR 71.20) certain benefits, such as training, respite care, counseling, technical support, beneficiary travel (to attend required caregiver training and for an eligible veteran’s medical appointments), a monthly stipend payment, and access to health care (if qualified) through the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department PO 00000 Frm 00146 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) 38 U.S.C. 1720G(a)(3), 38 CFR 71.40. For the purposes of this notice, the term veteran includes servicemembers who apply for or participate in PCAFC. PCAFC is currently available to family caregivers of eligible veterans who incurred or aggravated a serious injury (including traumatic brain injury, psychological trauma, or other mental disorder) in the line of duty in the active military, naval, or air service on or after September 11, 2001. 38 U.S.C. 1720G(a)(2)(B). On June 6, 2018, the John S. McCain III, Daniel K. Akaka, and Samuel R. Johnson VA Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks Act of 2018 or the VA MISSION Act of 2018 (‘‘MISSION Act’’), Public Law 115–182, was signed into law. Section 161 of the MISSION Act amended 38 U.S.C. 1720G to expand eligibility for PCAFC to family caregivers of eligible veterans who incurred or aggravated a serious injury in the line of duty before September 11, 2001, establish new benefits for designated primary family caregivers of eligible veterans, and make other changes affecting program eligibility and VA’s evaluation of PCAFC applications. The expansion of PCFAC to family caregivers of eligible veterans who incurred or aggravated a serious injury in the line of duty before September 11, 2001, will occur in two phases, the first of which will begin when VA certifies to Congress that it has fully implemented a required information technology system. During the 2-year period beginning on the date of such certification to Congress, PCAFC will be expanded to include family caregivers of eligible veterans who have a serious injury (including traumatic brain injury, psychological trauma, or other mental disorder) incurred or aggravated in the line of duty in the active military, naval, or air service on or before May 7, 1975. Two years after the date of submission of the certification to Congress, PCAFC will be expanded to family caregivers of all eligible veterans who have a serious injury (including traumatic brain injury, psychological trauma, or other mental disorder) incurred or aggravated in the line of duty in the active military, naval, or air service, regardless of when the serious injury occurred. We are issuing this notice to solicit input on changes to the program required by the MISSION Act, as further explained below. This notice and request for information serves as a means for VA to consult with key stakeholders on how to define and implement changes made to the program by the MISSION Act.
