SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau (TTB)
1. Title: Marks on Equipment and
Structures (TTB REC 5130.3), and Marks
and Labels on Containers of Beer (TTB
REC 5130.4).
OMB Control Number: 1513–0086.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:30 May 18, 2023
Jkt 259001
TTB Recordkeeping Numbers: TTB
REC 5130.3 and TTB REC 5130.4.
Abstract: Under the authority of
chapter 51 of the IRC, the TTB
regulations in 27 CFR part 25, Beer,
require brewers to place certain marks,
signs, and measuring devices on their
equipment and structures, and to place
certain brands, labels, and marks on
bulk and consumer containers of beer
and other brewery products. The
required information identifies the use,
capacity, and contents of brewery
equipment and structures, as well as
taxable brewery products and the
responsible taxpayer. As such, the
required information is necessary to
protect the revenue and ensure effective
administration of the IRC’s provisions
regarding brewery operations and
products. The required information also
identifies the contents of bulk and
consumer containers of beer and other
brewery products. For the purposes of
inventory control, cost accounting,
equipment utilization, and product
identification, TTB believes that
brewers would, in the normal course of
business, place the information required
under the regulations on their
equipment and structures and on their
bulk and consumers containers of beer
and other brewery products, regardless
of any TTB requirement to do so.
Current Actions: There are no
program changes associated with this
information collection, and TTB is
submitting it for extension purposes
only. As for adjustments, due to changes
in agency estimates, TTB is increasing
the estimated number of annual
respondents and responses associated
with this collection.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 13,720.
Average Responses per Respondent: 1
(one).
Number of Responses: 13,720.
Average Per-response and Total
Burden: As this information collection
consists of usual and customary marks
and labels placed by brewers during the
normal course of business, under 5 CFR
1320.3(b)(2), there is no additional
burden on respondents associated with
this information collection.
2. Title: CBMA Imports Refund
Program—Foreign Producer Registration
and Assignment System; CBMA
Importer Refund Claims System.
OMB Control Number: 1513–0142
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5001,
5041, and 5051 imposes Federal excise
tax on, respectively, distilled spirits,
wine, and beer manufactured in or
imported into the United States. Under
PO 00000
Frm 00113
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the Craft Beverage Modernization Act
(CBMA), certain limited quantities of
those products are eligible for lower
excise tax rates (see sections 13801–
13808 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of
2017, Pub. L. 115–97). Recent
amendments to the IRC and CBMA
made by the Taxpayer Certainty and
Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 (Tax
Relief Act; Division EE of Pub. L. 116–
260) transferred responsibility for
administering those CBMA reduced
excise tax rate provisions from Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to the
Treasury Department, effective January
1, 2023. In addition, rather than
receiving CBMA tax benefits at the time
of an import’s entry, for entries after that
date, U.S. importers are required to pay
the full excise tax rate to CBP and then
subsequently submit refund claims to
Treasury to receive their assigned
CBMA tax benefits. Under the IRC at 26
U.S.C. 5001(c), 5041(c), and 5051(a), a
U.S. importer will only be eligible for
CBMA tax benefits if a foreign producer
has elected to assign, and the importer
has elected to receive, such benefits in
accordance with regulations and
procedures issued by the Secretary.
Finally, under the new provision at 26
U.S.C. 6038E, foreign producers electing
to make such assignments are required
to provide the information the Secretary
requires by regulation, including
information about controlled group
structures of such producers.
Under those amended IRC authorities,
and authorities delegated to TTB by the
Secretary, TTB issued temporary
regulations in 27 CFR part 27
establishing procedures for alcohol
industry members to take advantage of
the CBMA tax benefits (see T.D. TTB–
186, 09/23/2022, 87 FR 58021). In
particular, the new regulations establish
the procedures by which (1) Foreign
producers may assign CBMA tax
benefits to U.S. importers, and (2) U.S.
importers may elect to receive those
assignments and submit their CBMA tax
benefit refund claims to TTB. This
information collection is required to
ensure that the IRC provisions regarding
CBMA tax benefit refund claims for U.S.
alcohol importers are appropriately
applied, which is necessary to protect
the revenue.
Current Actions: There are no
program changes or adjustments
associated with this information
collection, which was recently approved
by the Office of Management and
Budget on an emergency basis, and TTB
is submitting it for extension purposes
only.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
