Title: Usual and Customary Business
Records Maintained by Brewers.
TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB
REC 5130/1.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5415
requires brewers to keep records in such
form and containing such information
as the Secretary prescribes by regulation
as necessary to protect the revenue. In
addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5555
requires any person liable for Federal
excise tax on alcohol beverages,
including beer, to keep records, render
statements, make returns, and comply
with rules and regulations as prescribed
by the Secretary. Under those IRC
authorities, the TTB regulations in 27
CFR part 25 require brewers to keep
usual and customary business records
that allow TTB to verify various brewery
activities. These activities include, for
example, the quantities of raw materials
received at a brewery, the quantity of
beer and cereal beverages produced at
and removed from a brewery taxpaid or
without payment of tax, and the
quantity of beer previously removed
subject to tax returned to the brewery.
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

information collection.

Average Per-Response and Total
Burden: This information collection
consists of usual and customary records
kept by respondents during the normal
course of business, regardless of any
regulatory requirement to do so. As
such, under 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2), this
information collection imposes no
additional burden on respondents.
3. OMB Control No. 1513–0071
Title: Tobacco Products Importer or
Manufacturer—Record of Large Cigar
Wholesale Prices.
TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB
REC 5230/1.
Abstract: In general, the IRC at 26
U.S.C. 5701 imposes Federal excise
taxes on tobacco products and cigarette
papers and tubes, and, as described at
26 U.S.C. 5701(a)(2), the excise tax on
large cigars is based on a percentage of
the price at which such cigars are sold
by the manufacturer or importer. The
IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5741 also requires
every manufacturer and importer of
tobacco products to keep records in
such manner as the Secretary shall by
regulation prescribe. Under those IRC
authorities, the TTB regulations at 27
CFR 40.187 and 41.181 require that
manufacturers and importers of large
cigars maintain certain records
regarding the price for which those
cigars are sold. The required records are
necessary as they provide a basis upon
which to verify that the appropriate
amount of Federal excise tax is paid on
large cigars.
Current Actions: There are no
program changes or adjustments
associated with this information
collection, and TTB is submitting it for
extension purposes only.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits.

Average Responses per Respondent: 1
(one) per year.
