OMB Control Number: 1513–NEW. Type of Review: Request for a new OMB Control Number. Description: Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5061, the Federal excise tax on distilled spirits, wine, and beer is collected on the basis of a return which taxpayers file on a semi-monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, depending on the amount of their annual tax liability (see 26 U.S.C. 5061(d)(4)). In addition, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5207, 5367, and 5415, taxpayers for distilled spirits, wine, and beer, respectively, must furnish reports of operations and transactions as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Currently, under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR chapter I require alcohol excise taxpayers to report their excise tax liability using form TTB F 5000.24, Excise Tax Return, approved under OMB No. 1513–0083. In addition, alcohol excise taxpayers must file operations reports accounting for their production, removals, losses, and certain other matters that effect their excise tax liability. Distilled spirits plant proprietors file up to four separate operations reports on a monthly basis on TTB F 5110.11, TTB F 5110.28, TTB F 5110.40, and TTB F 5110.43, approved under OMB Nos. 1513–0039, 1513–0041, 1513–0047, and 1513–0049, concerning, respectively, storage, processing, production, and denaturing operations. Wine premises proprietors file monthly operations reports on TTB F 5120.17, approved under OMB No. 1513–0053. Brewers, depending on their annual tax liability, file operations reports either on a monthly basis using TTB F 5130.9 or on a quarterly basis using TTB F 5130.9 or TTB F 5130.26, both of which are approved under OMB No. 1513–0007. As part of TTB’s efforts to lower respondent burden, the Bureau is developing a combined tax return and simplified operations report and intends to pilot its use with alcohol excise taxpayers. Under this pilot, alcohol excise taxpayers will submit a letterhead application to join the pilot program as an alternative method to their filing the current tax return and operations reports under existing regulatory requirements. Once approved, taxpayers participating in the pilot program will file their combined E:\FR\FM\27OCN1.SGM 27OCN1
