SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau (TTB)
1. Title: Application to Establish and
Operate Wine Premises, and Wine
Bond.
OMB Control Number: 1513–0009.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Description: The Internal Revenue
Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5351–5357
requires a person wishing to establish a
bonded winery, bonded wine cellar, or
taxpaid wine bottling house to make
application and, in the case of a winery
or wine cellar, file a bond in conformity
with regulations issued by the Secretary
of the Treasury (the Secretary). Under
those IRC authorities, TTB regulations
provide that respondents file TTB F
5120.25, Application to Establish and
Operate Wine Premises, to apply for
wine premises permits. Proprietors of
established wine premises also use TTB
F 5120.25 to report certain changes to
previously submitted information. In
addition, respondents use TTB F
5120.36, Wine Bond, to file a bond with
TTB unless specifically exempted from
the bond requirement by the IRC at 26
U.S.C. 5551(d). Respondents may obtain
a surety bond or they may provide a
collateral bond secured with cash,
Treasury Bonds, or Treasury Notes. TTB
uses the information collected on the
application form to determine if the

2. Title: Brewer’s Bond and Brewer’s
Bond Continuation Certificate; Brewer’s
Collateral Bond and Brewer’s Collateral
Bond Continuation Certificate.
OMB Control Number: 1513–0015.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C.
5401(b) generally requires brewers to
provide a bond at the time of filing a
notice of the intent to operate, unless
they are exempt from such bond
requirement under 26 U.S.C. 5551(d),
which exempts brewers eligible to pay
excise taxes on an annual or quarterly
basis. To meet the bond requirement,
brewers may file a surety bond using
TTB F 5130.22, Brewer’s Bond, or,
under 26 U.S.C. 7101, brewers may
deposit cash or certain U.S. securities as
collateral using TTB F 5130.25, Brewer’s
Collateral Bond. Also under the IRC at
26 U.S.C. 5401(b), such bonds expire
every four years. Instead of filing a new
bond, a brewer may furnish a
continuation certificate to extend the
term of a surety bond using TTB F
5130.23, Brewer’s Bond Continuation
Certificate, or a collateral bond using
TTB F 5130.27, Brewer’s Collateral
Bond Continuation Certificate, TTB F
5130.27, as appropriate. The collected
information is necessary to protect the
revenue as the required bonds ensure
payment of any delinquent excise tax
liabilities.
Form: TTB F 5130.22, TTB F 5130.23,
TTB F 5130.25, and TTB F 5130.27.

Jkt 253001
Type of Review: Extension of a

Description: Under the IRC at 26
U.S.C. 5055, brewers may claim
drawback (refund) of Federal excise
taxes paid on beer produced in the
United States when they export such
beer or deliver it for use as supplies on
vessels or aircraft, if the claimant
provides proof of export as the Secretary
requires by regulation. Under that
authority, the TTB regulations require
respondents to file such drawback
claims using TTB F 5130.6, Drawback
on Beer Exported. This form documents
the beer’s export to a foreign country,
receipt by the U.S. Armed Forces for
overseas delivery, use as supplies on
vessels or aircraft, or its transfer to a
foreign trade zone for subsequent
export. The collected information is
necessary to protect the revenue as it
allows TTB to determine if beer is
eligible for export drawback.
Form: TTB F 5130.6.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.

Tubes.
OMB Control Number: 1513–0025.
Type of Review: Extension of a

Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C.
5704 provides for, among other things,
the release of imported or returned
tobacco products and cigarette papers
and tubes from customs custody,
without payment 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. Under the TTB
regulations, industry members use TTB
F 5200.11 in cases where the industry
member does not electronically file its
import entries with U.S. Customs and
Border Protection. Using that form, the
industry member, TTB, and customs
bonded warehouse proprietors or
government officials, respectively,
request, authorize, and document the
release of tobacco products and cigarette
papers and tubes from customs custody,
without payment of tax, to a
manufacturer or export warehouse
proprietor authorized to receive such
articles. The collected information is
necessary to protect the revenue as it
allows TTB to account for and detect

5. Title: Inventory—Manufacturer of
Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco.
OMB Control Number: 1513–0032.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C.
5721 requires manufacturers of tobacco
products and processed tobacco to
complete an inventory at the
commencement of business, the
conclusion of business, and at any other
time the Secretary by regulation
prescribes. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5741
also requires those manufacturers to
keep records, which they must make
available for inspection in the manner
the Secretary by regulation prescribes.
Under these authorities, the TTB
regulations require manufacturers of
tobacco products and processed tobacco
to provide inventories on TTB F 5210.9
at the commencement of business, the
conclusion of business, when changes
in business ownership or location occur,
and at any other time directed to do so
by the appropriate TTB officer. TTB F
5210.9 provides a uniform format for
recording those inventories, which TTB
uses to ensure that a manufacturer’s
Federal excise tax is correctly
determined. The required records
document the operations regulated
under the IRC and provide the basis for
determining the industry member’s tax
liability and conformance with IRC
requirements.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 228 / Wednesday, November 25, 2020 / Notices
Description: The IRC, at 26 U.S.C.
5066, 5214, and 5362, provides that
persons may withdraw distilled spirits,
denatured spirits, and wines from
bonded premises without payment of
Federal excise tax for export. These IRC
sections also state that such
withdrawals are subject to regulations
prescribed by the Secretary. Under the
TTB regulations, such export includes
direct export to a foreign country, export
to U.S. armed forces stationed overseas,
transfer to a foreign trade zone or a
customs bonded warehouse for
subsequent export, or for use as supplies
on vessels or aircraft. Under that IRC
authority, the TTB regulations in 27
CFR part 28 require exporters use TTB
F 5100.11 to report such removals. The
collected information is necessary to
protect the revenue as it allows TTB to
account for and detect diversion of
untaxpaid alcohol products.
Form: TTB F 5100.11.

7. Title: Application for Transfer of
Spirits and/or Denatured Spirits in
Bond.
OMB Control Number: 1513–0038.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Description: 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 its plant from
another domestic plant, the proprietor
must make an application to receive
such spirits in bond. Under that IRC
authority, the TTB regulations in 27
CFR part 19 require the receiving
proprietor to 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. The collected information is
necessary to protect the revenue as it
allows TTB to ensure that the receiving
plant has adequate bond coverage or, for
certain small alcohol excise taxpayers,
is exempt from such bond coverage.

Notices of Alternations and Changes in
Production Status, and Alternating
Premises Records.
OMB Control Number: 1513–0044.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Description: Under the IRC at 26
U.S.C. 5178(a), a distilled spirits plant
(DSP) is a delineated place on which
proprietors can only conduct certain
authorized activities. However, under
section 5178(b), the Secretary may
authorize other businesses on a DSP’s
premises under certain circumstances
upon application. Further, under the
IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5221, DSP proprietors
must give written notification, in the
form and manner prescribed by
regulation, when they begin, suspend,
or resume production of spirits. In
addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5555
requires those liable for any tax imposed
by chapter 51 of the IRC to keep such
records, submit such returns and
statements, and comply with such rules
and regulations as the Secretary may
prescribe. Under these authorities, TTB
has issued regulations in 27 CFR part 19
requiring that DSP proprietors provide
written notification regarding
alternation of a DSP between proprietors
or for customs purposes, and regarding
changes to the production status of
spirits. TTB also has issued regulations
requiring that DSP proprietors keep
records regarding alternations of their
premises, including alternations with an
adjacent bonded wine cellar, taxpaid
wine bottling house, or brewery, and
alternations as a manufacturer of
eligible flavors or as general premises.

9. Title: Registration of Distilled
Spirits Plants and Miscellaneous
Requests and Notices and Distilled
Spirits Plans.
OMB Control Number: 1513–0048.
Type of Review: Extension of a

Frm 00129
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

applicant must register a distilled spirits
plant (DSP) in conformity with
regulations issued by the Secretary,
while 26 U.S.C. 5201 requires DSP
proprietors to operate their premises in
conformity with such regulations.
Under those IRC authorities, the TTB
regulations in 27 CFR part 19 prescribe
the use of TTB F 5110.41 to register a
DSP or to make certain amendments to
an existing DSP registration. Those
regulations also require DSP proprietors
to submit various notices or requests to
vary their operations from the
requirements of that part. In addition,
those TTB regulations require non-DSP
proprietors to submit applications or
notices related to certain distilled spirits
activities, such as establishment of an
experimental DSP or use of spirits for
research purposes. The required
information is necessary to protect the
revenue as it assists TTB in determining
a person’s eligibility to establish and
operate a DSP, whether TTB should
approve a variance from its regulatory
requirements, and whether non-DSP
entities are eligible to engage in certain
activities involving distilled spirits.
Form: TTB F 5110.41.

10. Title: Tax Deferral Bond—Distilled
Spirits (Puerto Rico).
OMB Control Number: 1513–0050.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Description: Under the IRC at 26
U.S.C. 7652, beverage distilled spirits
and nonbeverage products containing
spirits subject to tax manufactured in
Puerto Rico and brought into the United
States are subject to a tax equal to that
imposed on domestically produced
spirits under 26 U.S.C. 5001.
Additionally, that section authorizes the
Secretary to prescribe regulations
regarding the mode and time for
payment and collection of such taxes.
Under that IRC authority, the TTB
regulations allow respondents who ship
such products from Puerto Rico to the
United States to choose either (1) to pay
the required tax prior to shipment or (2)
to file a bond to defer payment of the
tax until the submission of the
respondent’s next excise tax return and
payment. The TTB regulations require
respondents who elect to defer payment
of tax to file a tax deferral bond on TTB

11. Title: Report of Wine Premises
Operations.
OMB Control Number: 1513–0053.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Description: 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 those
authorities, the TTB wine regulations in
27 CFR part 24 require wine premises
proprietors to file periodic operations
reports on form TTB F 5120.17. TTB
uses the collected information to
determine excise tax liabilities and to
ensure that respondents operate in
accordance with applicable Federal law
and regulations. TTB also uses this
report to collect raw data on wine
premises activity for its generalized
monthly statistical report on wine
operations, which TTB makes public on
its website.

Description: 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. Such
excise taxpayers, other than those in
Puerto Rico, report their alcohol or
tobacco excise tax liability using TTB F
5000.24, Excise Tax Return. Tobacco

file their returns and pay their excise
taxes on a semi-monthly basis, while
certain small alcohol producers file
returns and pay taxes on a quarterly or
annual basis, depending on certain
circumstances. The collected
information is necessary to protect the
revenue as it allows TTB to establish a
taxpayer’s identity, the amount and type
of taxes due, and the amount of
payments made.

13. Title: Marks on Wine Containers
(TTB REC 5120/3).
OMB Control Number: 1513–0092.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C.
5041 imposes a Federal excise tax of
varying rates on six classes of wine—
three classes of still wines (based on
alcohol content), two classes of
effervescent wines, and one class of
hard cider. Under the authority of the
IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5357, 5368, 5388, and
5662, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR
part 24, Wine, require wine premises
proprietors to correctly identify wines
kept on or removed from their premises
by placing certain marks and labels on
all production, storage, and consumer
containers of wine. Because there are six
excise tax classes of wine, and different
classes of wine may be produced at the
same facility, the required information
is necessary to protect the revenue as it
helps ensure the appropriate tax is
collected. TTB notes, however, that the
marking and labeling of wine containers
is a usual and customary practice
carried out by wine premises
proprietors during the normal course of
business, regardless of any regulatory
requirement to do so, in order to track
production and inventory and inform
the public of the content of their
products.

14. Title: Special Tax ‘‘Renewal’’
Registration and Return/Special Tax
Location Registration Listing.
OMB Control Number: 1513–0113.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C.
5731 and 5732 requires manufacturers
of tobacco products, manufacturers of
cigarette papers and tubes, and export
warehouse proprietors to pay an annual
special (occupational) tax (SOT) for
each such premises that they operate. In
addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5732
requires such proprietors to pay SOT on
the basis of a return under regulations
issued by the Secretary. Form TTB F
5630.5R, which TTB sends out annually
to tobacco industry members that have
previously paid the special tax, meets
this purpose. TTB’s use of TTB F
5630.5R protects the revenue by
facilitating the registration of premises
subject to SOT and the timely payment

Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Description: The Federal
Government’s Pay.gov system allows
businesses and members of the public to
pay various 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 postal mail or delivery service. TTB
uses the Pay.gov User Agreement, TTB
F 5000.31, to identify, validate, approve,
and register qualified users of its portion
of the Pay.gov system in order to
prevent misuse of that system.
Form: TTB F 5000.31.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Estimated Number of Respondents:

Jkt 253001
imposed in the United States upon like
articles of merchandise of domestic
manufacture. Under that authority, the
TTB regulations require persons file an
application and permit to compute the
tax on, tax-pay, and withdraw certain
alcohol products for shipment to the
United States. To do so, the regulations
prescribe the use of TTB F 5100.21 for
beer or wine products, and TTB F
5110.51 for distilled spirits products. In
cases where the respondent is eligible to
defer the tax payment, TTB uses the
required information to verify that the
respondent’s bond coverage is adequate
to cover the taxes due. In cases where
the respondent makes the shipment
taxpaid, TTB uses the required
information to ensure that the
respondent has paid the correct amount
of tax. If necessary, TTB also uses the
collected information to enforce
collection of any alcohol excise tax
owed to the Federal government.

Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C.
5173 and 5181 requires distilled spirits
plants (DSPs) and alcohol fuel plants
(AFPs) to furnish a bond, unless
exempted from doing so under the IRC
at 26 U.S.C. 5551(d) and 5181(c)(3).
Proprietors of such plants use TTB F
5110.56 to file with TTB either a surety
bond or a collateral bond using cash or
U.S. securities. Using that same form,
proprietors also may withdraw coverage
for one or more plants, and DSP
proprietors may provide operations
coverage for adjacent wine cellars. The
collected information is necessary to
protect the revenue as the required
bonds ensure payment of any
delinquent excise tax liabilities.
Form: TTB F 5110.56.

19. Title: Records to Support Tax Free
and Tax Overpayment Sales of Firearms
and Ammunition.
OMB Control Number: 1513–0128.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C.
4181 imposes excise taxes 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 those made for further
manufacture, export, and those made to
a State or local government or a
nonprofit educational organization for
its exclusive use. In cases of sales where
the excise tax has already been paid, the
tax is considered an overpayment
subject to credit or refund under the IRC
at 26 U.S.C. 6416(b)(2) and (b)(3). To
protect the revenue, the TTB regulations
in 27 CFR part 53 prescribe that a
respondent otherwise subject to the
firearms or ammunition excise tax must
maintain records, including statements
or certificates containing specified
information, documenting the tax-free
or tax-overpaid nature of such sales.
Respondents may use commercial
records or self-generated supporting
statement or certificates, or, for certain
transactions, respondents may use TTBprovided forms, which, when
completed, document the required
supporting information. Respondents
maintain the required information at
their business premises, and TTB may
examine the records during tax audits.
Form: TTB F 5600.33, TTB F 5600.34,
TTB F 5600.35, TTB F 5600.36, and TTB

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)
1. Title: Application to Establish and Operate Wine Premises, and
Wine Bond.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0009.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5351-5357
requires a person wishing to establish a bonded winery, bonded wine
cellar, or taxpaid wine bottling house to make application and, in the
case of a winery or wine cellar, file a bond in conformity with
regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary).
Under those IRC authorities, TTB regulations provide that respondents
file TTB F 5120.25, Application to Establish and Operate Wine Premises,
to apply for wine premises permits. Proprietors of established wine
premises also use TTB F 5120.25 to report certain changes to previously
submitted information. In addition, respondents use TTB F 5120.36, Wine
Bond, to file a bond with TTB unless specifically exempted from the
bond requirement by the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5551(d). Respondents may
obtain a surety bond or they may provide a collateral bond secured with
cash, Treasury Bonds, or Treasury Notes. TTB uses the information
collected on the application form to determine if the
[[Page 75410]]
respondent is qualified under the IRC for a permit, while the
information collected through the bond form is intended to ensure
payment of any delinquent excise tax liabilities.
Form: TTB F 5120.25 and TTB F 5120.36.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 7,350.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 7,350.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.75 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,513 hours.
2. Title: Brewer's Bond and Brewer's Bond Continuation Certificate;
Brewer's Collateral Bond and Brewer's Collateral Bond Continuation
Certificate.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0015.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5401(b) generally requires
brewers to provide a bond at the time of filing a notice of the intent
to operate, unless they are exempt from such bond requirement under 26
U.S.C. 5551(d), which exempts brewers eligible to pay excise taxes on
an annual or quarterly basis. To meet the bond requirement, brewers may
file a surety bond using TTB F 5130.22, Brewer's Bond, or, under 26
U.S.C. 7101, brewers may deposit cash or certain U.S. securities as
collateral using TTB F 5130.25, Brewer's Collateral Bond. Also under
the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5401(b), such bonds expire every four years.
Instead of filing a new bond, a brewer may furnish a continuation
certificate to extend the term of a surety bond using TTB F 5130.23,
Brewer's Bond Continuation Certificate, or a collateral bond using TTB
F 5130.27, Brewer's Collateral Bond Continuation Certificate, TTB F
5130.27, as appropriate. The collected information is necessary to
protect the revenue as the required bonds ensure payment of any
delinquent excise tax liabilities.
Form: TTB F 5130.22, TTB F 5130.23, TTB F 5130.25, and TTB F
5130.27.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 220.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 225.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.65 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 143 hours.
3. Title: Drawback on Beer Exported.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0017.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5055, brewers may claim
drawback (refund) of Federal excise taxes paid on beer produced in the
United States when they export such beer or deliver it for use as
supplies on vessels or aircraft, if the claimant provides proof of
export as the Secretary requires by regulation. Under that authority,
the TTB regulations require respondents to file such drawback claims
using TTB F 5130.6, Drawback on Beer Exported. This form documents the
beer's export to a foreign country, receipt by the U.S. Armed Forces
for overseas delivery, use as supplies on vessels or aircraft, or its
transfer to a foreign trade zone for subsequent export. The collected
information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to
determine if beer is eligible for export drawback.
Form: TTB F 5130.6.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 2,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,000 hours.
4. Title: Notice of Release of Tobacco Products, Cigarette Papers,
or Cigarette Tubes.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0025.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5704 provides for, among other
things, the release of imported or returned tobacco products and
cigarette papers and tubes from customs custody, without payment 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. Under the TTB regulations,
industry members use TTB F 5200.11 in cases where the industry member
does not electronically file its import entries with U.S. Customs and
Border Protection. Using that form, the industry member, TTB, and
customs bonded warehouse proprietors or government officials,
respectively, request, authorize, and document the release of tobacco
products and cigarette papers and tubes from customs custody, without
payment of tax, to a manufacturer or export warehouse proprietor
authorized to receive such articles. The collected information is
necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to account for and
detect diversion of untaxpaid articles. (TTB accounts for electronic
filing of import entries under OMB Control No. 1513-0064.)
Form: TTB F 5200.11.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 60.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 15 hours.
5. Title: Inventory--Manufacturer of Tobacco Products or Processed
Tobacco.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0032.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5721 requires manufacturers of
tobacco products and processed tobacco to complete an inventory at the
commencement of business, the conclusion of business, and at any other
time the Secretary by regulation prescribes. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5741
also requires those manufacturers to keep records, which they must make
available for inspection in the manner the Secretary by regulation
prescribes. Under these authorities, the TTB regulations require
manufacturers of tobacco products and processed tobacco to provide
inventories on TTB F 5210.9 at the commencement of business, the
conclusion of business, when changes in business ownership or location
occur, and at any other time directed to do so by the appropriate TTB
officer. TTB F 5210.9 provides a uniform format for recording those
inventories, which TTB uses to ensure that a manufacturer's Federal
excise tax is correctly determined. The required records document the
operations regulated under the IRC and provide the basis for
determining the industry member's tax liability and conformance with
IRC requirements.
Form: TTB F 5210.9.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 100.
Estimated Time per Response: 5 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 500 hours.
6. Title: Withdrawal of Spirits, Specially Denatured Spirits, or
Wines for Exportation.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0037.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
[[Page 75411]]
Description: The IRC, at 26 U.S.C. 5066, 5214, and 5362, provides
that persons may withdraw distilled spirits, denatured spirits, and
wines from bonded premises without payment of Federal excise tax for
export. These IRC sections also state that such withdrawals are subject
to regulations prescribed by the Secretary. Under the TTB regulations,
such export includes direct export to a foreign country, export to U.S.
armed forces stationed overseas, transfer to a foreign trade zone or a
customs bonded warehouse for subsequent export, or for use as supplies
on vessels or aircraft. Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations
in 27 CFR part 28 require exporters use TTB F 5100.11 to report such
removals. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue
as it allows TTB to account for and detect diversion of untaxpaid
alcohol products.
Form: TTB F 5100.11.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 150.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 3,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,500 hours.
7. Title: Application for Transfer of Spirits and/or Denatured
Spirits in Bond.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0038.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: 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 its plant from another domestic plant, the proprietor must make an
application to receive such spirits in bond. Under that IRC authority,
the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require the receiving proprietor
to 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. The collected
information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to
ensure that the receiving plant has adequate bond coverage or, for
certain small alcohol excise taxpayers, is exempt from such bond
coverage.
Form: TTB F 5100.16.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 250.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 1,500.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.152 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 228 hours.
8. Title: Distilled Spirits Plants--Notices of Alternations and
Changes in Production Status, and Alternating Premises Records.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0044.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5178(a), a distilled
spirits plant (DSP) is a delineated place on which proprietors can only
conduct certain authorized activities. However, under section 5178(b),
the Secretary may authorize other businesses on a DSP's premises under
certain circumstances upon application. Further, under the IRC at 26
U.S.C. 5221, DSP proprietors must give written notification, in the
form and manner prescribed by regulation, when they begin, suspend, or
resume production of spirits. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5555
requires those liable for any tax imposed by chapter 51 of the IRC to
keep such records, submit such returns and statements, and comply with
such rules and regulations as the Secretary may prescribe. Under these
authorities, TTB has issued regulations in 27 CFR part 19 requiring
that DSP proprietors provide written notification regarding alternation
of a DSP between proprietors or for customs purposes, and regarding
changes to the production status of spirits. TTB also has issued
regulations requiring that DSP proprietors keep records regarding
alternations of their premises, including alternations with an adjacent
bonded wine cellar, taxpaid wine bottling house, or brewery, and
alternations as a manufacturer of eligible flavors or as general
premises.
Form: None.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,250.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 6,250.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,125 hours.
9. Title: Registration of Distilled Spirits Plants and
Miscellaneous Requests and Notices and Distilled Spirits Plans.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0048.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: The IRC, at 26 U.S.C. 5171 and 5172, provides that an
applicant must register a distilled spirits plant (DSP) in conformity
with regulations issued by the Secretary, while 26 U.S.C. 5201 requires
DSP proprietors to operate their premises in conformity with such
regulations. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR
part 19 prescribe the use of TTB F 5110.41 to register a DSP or to make
certain amendments to an existing DSP registration. Those regulations
also require DSP proprietors to submit various notices or requests to
vary their operations from the requirements of that part. In addition,
those TTB regulations require non-DSP proprietors to submit
applications or notices related to certain distilled spirits
activities, such as establishment of an experimental DSP or use of
spirits for research purposes. The required information is necessary to
protect the revenue as it assists TTB in determining a person's
eligibility to establish and operate a DSP, whether TTB should approve
a variance from its regulatory requirements, and whether non-DSP
entities are eligible to engage in certain activities involving
distilled spirits.
Form: TTB F 5110.41.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,520.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 3,830.
Estimated Time per Response: 2.573 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 9,855 hours.
10. Title: Tax Deferral Bond--Distilled Spirits (Puerto Rico).
OMB Control Number: 1513-0050.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7652, beverage distilled
spirits and nonbeverage products containing spirits subject to tax
manufactured in Puerto Rico and brought into the United States are
subject to a tax equal to that imposed on domestically produced spirits
under 26 U.S.C. 5001. Additionally, that section authorizes the
Secretary to prescribe regulations regarding the mode and time for
payment and collection of such taxes. Under that IRC authority, the TTB
regulations allow respondents who ship such products from Puerto Rico
to the United States to choose either (1) to pay the required tax prior
to shipment or (2) to file a bond to defer payment of the tax until the
submission of the respondent's next excise tax return and payment. The
TTB regulations require respondents who elect to defer payment of tax
to file a tax deferral bond on TTB
[[Page 75412]]
F 5110.50. The required surety bond is necessary to protect the revenue
as it ensures payment of the applicable excise tax.
Form: TTB F 5110.50
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 10.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 10 hours.
11. Title: Report of Wine Premises Operations.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0053.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: 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 those authorities, the TTB wine regulations in 27
CFR part 24 require wine premises proprietors to file periodic
operations reports on form TTB F 5120.17. TTB uses the collected
information to determine excise tax liabilities and to ensure that
respondents operate in accordance with applicable Federal law and
regulations. TTB also uses this report to collect raw data on wine
premises activity for its generalized monthly statistical report on
wine operations, which TTB makes public on its website.
Form: TTB F 5120.17.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 12,200.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 52,870.
Estimated Time per Response: 1.10 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 58,157 hours.
12. Title: Excise Tax Return.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0083.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: 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. Such excise taxpayers, other than those in Puerto Rico, report
their alcohol or tobacco excise tax liability using TTB F 5000.24,
Excise Tax Return. Tobacco taxpayers and large alcohol producers file
their returns and pay their excise taxes on a semi-monthly basis, while
certain small alcohol producers file returns and pay taxes on a
quarterly or annual basis, depending on certain circumstances. The
collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows
TTB to establish a taxpayer's identity, the amount and type of taxes
due, and the amount of payments made.
Form: TTB F 5000.24.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 18,825.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 116,715.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.75 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 87,536 hours.
13. Title: Marks on Wine Containers (TTB REC 5120/3).
OMB Control Number: 1513-0092.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5041 imposes a Federal excise tax
of varying rates on six classes of wine--three classes of still wines
(based on alcohol content), two classes of effervescent wines, and one
class of hard cider. Under the authority of the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5357,
5368, 5388, and 5662, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 24, Wine,
require wine premises proprietors to correctly identify wines kept on
or removed from their premises by placing certain marks and labels on
all production, storage, and consumer containers of wine. Because there
are six excise tax classes of wine, and different classes of wine may
be produced at the same facility, the required information is necessary
to protect the revenue as it helps ensure the appropriate tax is
collected. TTB notes, however, that the marking and labeling of wine
containers is a usual and customary practice carried out by wine
premises proprietors during the normal course of business, regardless
of any regulatory requirement to do so, in order to track production
and inventory and inform the public of the content of their products.
Recordkeeping Number: TTB REC 5120/3.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 14,340.

14. Title: Special Tax ``Renewal'' Registration and Return/Special
Tax Location Registration Listing.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0113.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5731 and 5732 requires
manufacturers of tobacco products, manufacturers of cigarette papers
and tubes, and export warehouse proprietors to pay an annual special
(occupational) tax (SOT) for each such premises that they operate. In
addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5732 requires such proprietors to pay
SOT on the basis of a return under regulations issued by the Secretary.
Form TTB F 5630.5R, which TTB sends out annually to tobacco industry
members that have previously paid the special tax, meets this purpose.
TTB's use of TTB F 5630.5R protects the revenue by facilitating the
registration of premises subject to SOT and the timely payment of that
tax by the businesses subject to it. The information collected on the
form is essential to TTB's collecting, processing, and accounting for
these special occupational taxes.
Form: TTB F 5630.5R.

Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: Under the authority of the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5362,
5367, 5369, 5370, and 5555, the TTB regulations require wineries,
taxpaid wine bottling houses, and vinegar plants to keep usual and
customary business records. These records include purchase invoices,
sales invoices, and internal records related to their production and
processing, packaging, storing, and shipping operations. TTB routinely
inspects these records to ensure proper payment of wine excise taxes,
and, to ensure that proprietors produce, package, store,
[[Page 75413]]

16. Title: Pay.gov User Agreement.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0117.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: The Federal Government's Pay.gov system allows
businesses and members of the public to pay various 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 postal mail or delivery service. TTB uses the
Pay.gov User Agreement, TTB F 5000.31, to identify, validate, approve,
and register qualified users of its portion of the Pay.gov system in
order to prevent misuse of that system.
Form: TTB F 5000.31.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,000.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 2,000.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 500 hours.
17. Title: Application, Permit, and Report--Wine and Beer (Puerto
Rico); and Application, Permit, and Report--Distilled Spirits Products
(Puerto Rico).
OMB Control Number: 1513-0123.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: In general, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7652(a)(1),
merchandise manufactured in Puerto Rico and shipped to the United
States for consumption or sale is subject to a tax equal to the
internal revenue tax imposed in the United States upon like articles of
merchandise of domestic manufacture. Under that authority, the TTB
regulations require persons file an application and permit to compute
the tax on, tax-pay, and withdraw certain alcohol products for shipment
to the United States. To do so, the regulations prescribe the use of
TTB F 5100.21 for beer or wine products, and TTB F 5110.51 for
distilled spirits products. In cases where the respondent is eligible
to defer the tax payment, TTB uses the required information to verify
that the respondent's bond coverage is adequate to cover the taxes due.
In cases where the respondent makes the shipment taxpaid, TTB uses the
required information to ensure that the respondent has paid the correct
amount of tax. If necessary, TTB also uses the collected information to
enforce collection of any alcohol excise tax owed to the Federal
government.
Form: TTB F 5110.21 and TTB F 5110.51.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 35.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 35.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 35 hours.
18. Title: Distilled Spirits Bond.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0125.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5173 and 5181 requires distilled
spirits plants (DSPs) and alcohol fuel plants (AFPs) to furnish a bond,
unless exempted from doing so under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5551(d) and
5181(c)(3). Proprietors of such plants use TTB F 5110.56 to file with
TTB either a surety bond or a collateral bond using cash or U.S.
securities. Using that same form, proprietors also may withdraw
coverage for one or more plants, and DSP proprietors may provide
operations coverage for adjacent wine cellars. The collected
information is necessary to protect the revenue as the required bonds
ensure payment of any delinquent excise tax liabilities.
Form: TTB F 5110.56.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 310.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 310.

19. Title: Records to Support Tax Free and Tax Overpayment Sales of
Firearms and Ammunition.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0128.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 4181 imposes excise taxes 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 those made for
further manufacture, export, and those made to a State or local
government or a nonprofit educational organization for its exclusive
use. In cases of sales where the excise tax has already been paid, the
tax is considered an overpayment subject to credit or refund under the
IRC at 26 U.S.C. 6416(b)(2) and (b)(3). To protect the revenue, the TTB
regulations in 27 CFR part 53 prescribe that a respondent otherwise
subject to the firearms or ammunition excise tax must maintain records,
including statements or certificates containing specified information,
documenting the tax-free or tax-overpaid nature of such sales.
Respondents may use commercial records or self-generated supporting
statement or certificates, or, for certain transactions, respondents
may use TTB-provided forms, which, when completed, document the
required supporting information. Respondents maintain the required
information at their business premises, and TTB may examine the records
during tax audits.
Form: TTB F 5600.33, TTB F 5600.34, TTB F 5600.35, TTB F 5600.36,
and TTB F 5600.37.
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal governments; and Business
or other for-profits.
