Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 21 / Wednesday, January 31, 2024 / Notices Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved collection. Description: Under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5041, 5362, 5367, 5369, 5370, and 5555, the TTB regulations require wineries, taxpaid wine bottling houses, and vinegar plants to keep certain usual and customary business records. These records include purchase, sales, and other internal records related to their production and processing of wine, and their packaging, storage, and shipping operations. TTB routinely inspects these records to verify proper payment of Federal wine excise taxes on the six tax classes of wine and to ensure that proprietors produce, package, store, ship, and transfer wine in compliance with the applicable Federal statutory and regulatory requirements. Form: None. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits. Estimated Number of Respondents: 17,000. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 17,000. Estimated Time per Response: None, as this is customary and usual business practice. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 0. 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 without change of a currently approved collection. Description: In general, under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 7652, 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. That section also authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations regarding the collection of such taxes, which, as provided in that section, are largely transferred to the treasury of Puerto Rico. Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 26 require persons who intend to ship alcohol products produced in Puerto Rico to the United States for consumption or sale to file an application and permit to compute the tax on, tax-pay, and withdraw those products for shipment. As such, the TTB regulations prescribe the use of TTB F 5100.21 for beer or wine products, and TTB F 5110.51 for distilled spirits products. The collected VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:00 Jan 30, 2024 Jkt 262001 information is necessary to protect the revenue. In cases where the respondent makes the shipment taxpaid, TTB uses the required information to verify that the respondent has paid the correct amount of tax. In cases where the respondent is eligible to defer the tax payment, TTB uses the information to ensure that the respondent’s bond coverage is adequate to cover the taxes due. If necessary, TTB also uses the collected information to enforce collection of any tax owed to the Federal government on such shipments. Form: None. Affected Public: Businesses 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. 18. Title: Distilled Spirits Bond. OMB Control Number: 1513–0125. Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved collection. Description: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5173 and 5181 requires distilled spirits plants (DSPs) and alcohol fuel plants (AFPs), respectively, to furnish a bond unless exempted from doing so under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5551(d) or 5181(c)(3). Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require proprietors of such plants that are required to submit a bond to use TTB F 5110.56, Distilled Spirits Bond, 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 Federal alcohol excise tax liabilities. Form: TTB F 5110.56. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits. Estimated Number of Respondents: 400. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 400. Estimated Time per Response: 1 hours. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 400. 19. Title: Records to Support Tax Free and Tax Overpayment Sales of Firearms and Ammunition. PO 00000 Frm 00102 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 6189 OMB Control Number: 1513–0128. Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved collection. Description: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 4181 imposes a tax 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 sales made for further manufacture, export, or use as supplies on vessels or aircraft, and sales made to a State or local government or to a nonprofit education organization for their exclusive use. In addition, for such sales where the tax has 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 (3). In order to protect the revenue, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 53 prescribe that those persons otherwise subject to this tax must maintain records, 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. The required records, statements, or certificates are maintained by respondents at their business premises, and, to protect the revenue, TTB may examine those documents during field audits. Form: TTB F 5600.33, 5600.34, 5600.35, 5600.36 and 5600.37. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits and State, Local or Tribal Governments. Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,500. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 42,000. Estimated Time per Response: 23 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 15,750.

Title: Department of Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase (VASP) Program. OMB Control Number: 2900–0934. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Abstract: VA is initiating an expanded program using existing Refund provisions. This option will assist Veterans with VA-guaranteed loans who have defaulted on their mortgage loan and are facing foreclosure. Under this program, VA will exercise its statutory option to purchase the loan from the servicer and VA will hold the loan in VA’s own loan portfolio. The servicer will prepare a modification of the loan to increase affordability for the Veteran. Servicers who participate in the program are required to document their efforts to assist the Veteran through a waterfall of existing loss mitigation options and provide that documentation to VA. Information collection is necessary to ensure that Veterans and servicers comply with VA program requirements under VASP that are not already covered by existing, approved information collections for loan servicing and loan refunding. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published at 88 FR 82947 on November 27, 2023. E:\FR\FM\31JAN1.SGM 31JAN1
