SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that FHWA has taken a
final agency action subject to 23 U.S.C.
139(l)(1) by issuing a FONSI for the
following new highway project in the
State of Georgia: The I–16 at Old Cuyler
Road Interchange Project located in
Bryan County, Georgia. The Selected
Alternative will construct a new
interchange along I–16 at Old Cuyler
Road. Old Cuyler and Cuyler Roads will
be realigned and reconstructed over I–
16, including the construction of a new
bridge over I–16. The new interchange
project will also tie into a new frontage
road just east of Jernigan Road and will
extend this road along the south side of
I–16 to a multi-lane roundabout with
the realigned Cuyler Road. Multi-lane
roundabouts will also be located at the
eastbound and westbound I–16 ramp
termini. The length of the construction
is approximately 1.2 miles.
The purpose of the project is listed
below:
• Provide new, direct vehicular
access to I–16, which will serve current
and projected future vehicular and truck
traffic.
• Provide congestion relief for the
existing I–16/US 280 interchange to the

OMB Control No. 1513–0006
Title: Volatile Fruit-Flavor
Concentrate Plants—Applications and
Related Records.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5520.3.
TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB
REC 5520/2.
Abstract: Volatile fruit-flavor
concentrates contain alcohol when
made by an evaporative process from
the mash or juice of a fruit. However,
under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC)
at 26 U.S.C. 5511, alcohol excise taxes
and most other provisions of chapter 51
of the IRC do not apply to such
concentrates if the manufacturers file
applications, keep records, and meet
certain statutory and regulatory
requirements. Under that IRC authority,
the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part
18 require volatile fruit-flavor
concentrate manufacturers to register
using form TTB F 5520.3 and file
amendments to their registrations using
that form or a letterhead application
(depending on circumstances).
Additionally, concentrate manufacturers
are required to maintain a record file of
all approved registrations and related
supporting documents. TTB uses the
collected information to identify
concentrate manufacturers and their
operations to ensure that the tax
provisions of the IRC are appropriately
applied.
Current Actions: There are no
program changes or adjustments
associated with this information
collection, and TTB is submitting it for
extension purposes only.

Report and Usual and Customary
Business Records (TTB REC 5520/1).
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5520.2.
TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB F
5520/1.
Abstract: Volatile fruit-flavor
concentrates contain alcohol when
made by an evaporative process from
the mash or juice of a fruit. However,
under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5511, alcohol
excise taxes and most other provisions
of chapter 51 of the IRC do not apply to
such concentrates if the manufacturers
meet certain statutory and regulatory
requirements. Under that IRC authority,
the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 18
require manufacturers of volatile fruitflavor concentrates to submit an annual
summary report, using form TTB F
5520.2 in order to account for all
volatile fruit-flavor concentrates
produced, removed, or made unfit for
beverage use. Such manufacturers
compile this report from usual and
customary business, which, under the
regulations, respondents must retain for
3 years. TTB uses the collected
information to ensure that the tax
provisions of the IRC are appropriately
applied.

casks or bulk containers in the United
States on which Federal excise tax has
been paid or determined, and are in
bulk containers or in bottles packed in
cases or other containers, the bottler or
packager of the spirits may file a claim
for the drawback (refund) of the tax.
Section 5062(b) also authorizes the
Secretary to issue regulations governing
such export drawback claims, including
requirements for notices, bonds, and
evidence showing tax payment or
determination and export of the spirits
in question. The TTB regulations in 27
CFR part 28 require that export
drawback claimants use TTB F 5110.30
to submit such claims to TTB. The form
collects information regarding the
claimant, a description of the distilled
spirits exported along with the amount
exported, and the amount of drawback
claimed. The information collected is
used by exporters to obtain drawback of
taxes on articles exported, and TTB uses
the information on TTB F 5110.30 and
its attached documents to verify and
substantiate the drawback claim.
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 decreasing
the number of annual respondents,
responses, and burden hours associated

OMB Control No. 1513–0043
Title: Application and Permit to Ship
Puerto Rican Spirits to the United States
Without Payment of Tax.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5110.31.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7652
imposes on Puerto Rican distilled spirits
shipped to the United States for
consumption or sale a tax equal to the
internal revenue (excise) tax imposed in
the United States on distilled spirits of
domestic manufacture. However, the
IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5232 provides that
distilled spirits imported or brought into
the United States in bulk containers
may, under regulations prescribed by
the Secretary, be withdrawn from
Customs custody and transferred to the
bonded premises of a domestic distilled
spirits plant without payment of the
internal revenue tax imposed on such
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:40 Aug 05, 2024
Jkt 262001
spirits. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5314 also
states that spirits may be withdrawn
from the bonded premises of a distilled
spirits plant in Puerto Rico pursuant to
an authorization issued under the laws
of Puerto Rico. Under those IRC
authorities, TTB has issued regulations
in 27 CFR part 26, Liquors and Articles
from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands,
which require respondents to use form
TTB F 5110.31 to apply for and receive
permission to ship Puerto Rican
distilled spirits to the United States
without payment of Federal excise tax.
The form identifies the specific spirits
to be shipped, the amount of spirits
shipped and received, and the
shipment’s consignor in Puerto Rico and
consignee in the United States. The
collected information is necessary to
protect the revenue.
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 number of responses per respondent
and burden hours associated with this
collection.

OMB Control No. 1513–0047
Title: Distilled Spirits Production
Records (TTB REC 5110/01) and
Monthly Report of Production
Operations.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5110.40.
TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB
REC 5110/01.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5001
sets forth, in general, the Federal excise
tax rates for distilled spirits produced in
or imported into the United States. The
IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5207 also requires
distilled spirit plant (DSP) proprietors to
maintain records of production, storage,
denaturation, and processing activities
and to submit reports covering those
operations, as the Secretary prescribes
by regulation. The TTB regulations in 27
CFR part 19 require DSP proprietors to
keep records regarding the materials
used to produce distilled spirits, the
amount of spirits produced, the
withdrawal of spirits from the
production account, and the production
of spirits byproducts. The regulations in
part 19 also require these records to be
retained for at least three years. In
PO 00000
Frm 00132
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

addition, DSP proprietors must submit
monthly reports of production
operations using TTB F 5110.40. The
form collects information about the
types and amounts of distilled spirits
produced, the amounts of certain types
of materials used in the production of
the spirits, and the disposition of the
spirits. TTB uses the collected
information to account for the amount
of distilled spirits produced at a DSP
and to determine the proprietor’s
resulting excise tax liability and the
amount of bond coverage needed if such
coverage is required.
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 resulting from
continued growth in the number of
DSPs in the United States, TTB is
increasing the number of annual
respondents, responses, and burden
hours associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other
for-profits.
• Number of Respondents: 4,800.
• Average Responses per Respondent:

• Number of Responses: 57,600.
• Average Per-response Burden: 2

TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB
REC 5170/2.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5121
requires wholesale dealers in liquors to
keep daily records of all distilled spirits
received and disposed of, and, at the
Secretary’s discretion, to submit
periodic summaries of those daily
records. Section 5121 also requires
wholesale dealers in liquors and
wholesale dealers in beer to keep daily
records of all wine and beer received. In
addition, section 5121 authorizes the
Secretary to issue regulations regarding
the keeping and submission of these
records and summary reports by such
wholesale dealers. The IRC at 26 U.S.C.
5123 also sets forth retention and
inspection requirements for the required
wholesale dealer records and reports.
Under these IRC authorities, TTB has
issued regulations applicable to
wholesale dealers, which are contained
in 27 CFR part 31. These regulations
require wholesale dealers to keep usual

and customary business records, such as
consignment and purchase invoices,
documenting their daily receipt and
disposition of distilled spirits and their
daily receipt of wine and beer. TTB, at
its discretion, also may require a
particular wholesale liquor dealer to
submit monthly summary reports
regarding all distilled spirits received
and disposed of on a daily basis. In
addition, the TTB regulations require
that wholesaler dealers retain the
required records and copies of any
required monthly summary reports at
their place of business, available for

total burden is 1,200 hours.
OMB Control No. 1513–0088
Title: Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms
Related Documents for Tax Returns and
Claims (TTB REC 5000/24).
TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB
REC 5000/24.
Abstract: TTB is responsible for the
collection of Federal excise taxes
imposed on distilled spirits, wine, beer,
tobacco products, cigarette papers and
tubes, and firearms and ammunition,
and also for the collection of special
occupational taxes related to tobacco
products and cigarette papers and tubes.
The IRC (26 U.S.C.) requires that such
taxes be collected on the basis of a
return, and it requires taxpayers to
maintain records that document the
information provided on such returns.
The IRC also allows for the filing of
claims for the abatement, credit,
remission, or refund (drawback) of taxes
under certain circumstances, and it
requires claimants to maintain records
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:40 Aug 05, 2024

to support such claims. TTB uses the
collected information maintained in
these records to confirm the amount of
excise and special occupational taxes
rightly due, and to verify respondent
computations on tax returns or the
correctness of claims for refund or other
adjustments to tax liabilities.
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.
• Number of Respondents: 67,000.
• Average Responses per Respondent:

• Total Burden: 536,000 hours.
OMB Control No. 1513–0094
Title: Federal Firearms and
Ammunition Quarterly Excise Tax
Return.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5300.26.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 4181
imposes a Federal excise tax on the sale
of pistols, revolvers, other firearms, and
shells and cartridges (ammunition) by
manufacturers, producers, and
importers of such articles. The IRC, at
26 U.S.C. 6001, 6011, and 6302, also
authorizes the Secretary to issue
regulations regarding IRC-based taxes,
returns and records, including the mode
and time for collecting taxes due. Under
this authority, the TTB regulations in 27
CFR part 53 require persons who have
firearms and/or ammunition excise tax
liability to submit a quarterly tax return
using form TTB F 5300.26. The
information collected on this return is
necessary to identify the taxpayer, the
amount and type of taxes due, and the
amount of payments made. TTB uses
the return information to determine
whether the taxpayer has paid the
correct amount of tax and to take
additional action, such as assessment or
refund, as necessary.
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 decreasing
the estimated number of annual
respondents, responses, and burden
hours associated with this information

OMB Control No. 1513–0130
Title: Report of Removal, Transfer, or
Sale of Processed Tobacco.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5250.2.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5722
requires importers and manufacturers of
tobacco products, processed tobacco, or
cigarette papers and tubes to make
reports containing such information, in
such form, at such times, and for such
periods as the Secretary prescribes by
regulation. While processed tobacco is
not subject to Federal excise tax under
the IRC, tobacco products subject to
such taxes may be manufactured using
processed tobacco. To protect the
revenue by preventing diversion of
processed tobacco to illegal,
unpermitted tobacco product
manufacturers, TTB has issued
regulations that require persons holding
TTB permits as importers or
manufacturers of processed tobacco or
tobacco products to report all removals,
transfers, or sales of processed tobacco
made for export or for shipment to any
domestic entity that does not hold such
a permit or a permit to operate as an
export warehouse proprietor. In general,
respondents must report each such
shipment by the close of the next
business day using form TTB F 5250.2.
However, exporters may apply to TTB to
report removals made for export using a
monthly summary report. TTB F 5250.2
and the monthly summary report
require information identifying the TTB
permit holder making the processed
tobacco shipment, the type and quantity
of processed tobacco shipped, the
person(s) purchasing (or receiving) and
delivering the processed tobacco, and
the destination address of the shipment.
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, responses, and burden
hours associated with this information
collection.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other
for-profits.
• Number of Respondents: 32.
• Average Responses per Respondent:
156 per year.
• Number of Responses: 4,992.

feedback from its customers and
stakeholders regarding its programs and
services. TTB analyzes the collected
information to help improve its

Title: Specific and Continuing Export
Bonds for Distilled Spirits or Wine.
TTB Form Numbers: TTB F 5100.25
and TTB F 5100.30.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5175,
5214, and 5362 authorizes exporters
(other than proprietors of distilled
spirits plants or bonded wine premises)
to withdraw distilled spirits and wine
without payment of tax for export, use
on certain vessels or aircraft, transfer to
a foreign trade zone, or transfer to a
customs bonded warehouse pending
exportation, subject to such regulations
as the Secretary prescribes. Under that
IRC authority, to protect the revenue
and provide exporters with a degree of
flexibility based on individual need, the
TTB alcohol export regulations in 27
CFR part 28 allow exporters to file
either a specific bond using TTB F
5100.25 to cover a single export
shipment or a continuing bond using
TTB F 5100.30 to cover export
shipments made from time to time.
Current Actions: There are no
program changes or adjustments
associated with this information
collection, and TTB is submitting it for
extension purposes only.

OMB Control No. 1513-0006
Title: Volatile Fruit-Flavor Concentrate Plants--Applications and
Related Records.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5520.3.
TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB REC 5520/2.
Abstract: Volatile fruit-flavor concentrates contain alcohol when
made by an evaporative process from the mash or juice of a fruit.
However, under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5511,
alcohol excise taxes and most other provisions of chapter 51 of the IRC
do not apply to such concentrates if the manufacturers file
applications, keep records, and meet certain statutory and regulatory
requirements. Under that IRC authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and
Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 18 require volatile
fruit-flavor concentrate manufacturers to register using form TTB F
5520.3 and file amendments to their registrations using that form or a
letterhead application (depending on circumstances). Additionally,
concentrate manufacturers are required to maintain a record file of all
approved registrations and related supporting documents. TTB uses the
collected information to identify concentrate manufacturers and their
operations to ensure that the tax provisions of the IRC are
appropriately applied.
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 and other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 55.
Average Responses per Respondent: 1 (one) per year.
Number of Responses: 55.
Average per-Response Burden: 2 hours.
Total Burden: 110 hours.
OMB Control No. 1513-0022
Title: Volatile Fruit-Flavor Concentrate Manufacturers--Annual
Report and Usual and Customary Business Records (TTB REC 5520/1).
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5520.2.
TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB F 5520/1.
Abstract: Volatile fruit-flavor concentrates contain alcohol when
made by an evaporative process from the mash or juice of a fruit.
However, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5511, alcohol excise taxes and most
other provisions of chapter 51 of the IRC do not apply to such
concentrates if the manufacturers meet certain statutory and regulatory
requirements. Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR
part 18 require manufacturers of volatile fruit-flavor concentrates to
submit an annual summary report, using form TTB F 5520.2 in order to
account for all volatile fruit-flavor concentrates produced, removed,
or made unfit for beverage use. Such manufacturers compile this report
from usual and customary business, which, under the regulations,
respondents must retain for 3 years. TTB uses the collected information
to ensure that the tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied.
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.

Total Burden: 18 hours.
OMB Control No. 1513-0042
Title: Drawback on Distilled Spirits Exported.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5110.30.
Abstract: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5062(b), on the exportation of
distilled spirits produced, bottled, or packaged in
[[Page 64041]]
casks or bulk containers in the United States on which Federal excise
tax has been paid or determined, and are in bulk containers or in
bottles packed in cases or other containers, the bottler or packager of
the spirits may file a claim for the drawback (refund) of the tax.
Section 5062(b) also authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations
governing such export drawback claims, including requirements for
notices, bonds, and evidence showing tax payment or determination and
export of the spirits in question. The TTB regulations in 27 CFR part
28 require that export drawback claimants use TTB F 5110.30 to submit
such claims to TTB. The form collects information regarding the
claimant, a description of the distilled spirits exported along with
the amount exported, and the amount of drawback claimed. The
information collected is used by exporters to obtain drawback of taxes
on articles exported, and TTB uses the information on TTB F 5110.30 and
its attached documents to verify and substantiate the drawback claim.
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
decreasing the number of annual respondents, responses, and burden
hours associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 20.
Average Responses per Respondent: 18 per year.
Number of Responses: 360.
Average Per-response Burden: 2 hours.
Total Burden: 720 hours.
OMB Control No. 1513-0043
Title: Application and Permit to Ship Puerto Rican Spirits to the
United States Without Payment of Tax.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5110.31.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7652 imposes on Puerto Rican
distilled spirits shipped to the United States for consumption or sale
a tax equal to the internal revenue (excise) tax imposed in the United
States on distilled spirits of domestic manufacture. However, the IRC
at 26 U.S.C. 5232 provides that distilled spirits imported or brought
into the United States in bulk containers may, under regulations
prescribed by the Secretary, be withdrawn from Customs custody and
transferred to the bonded premises of a domestic distilled spirits
plant without payment of the internal revenue tax imposed on such
spirits. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5314 also states that spirits may be
withdrawn from the bonded premises of a distilled spirits plant in
Puerto Rico pursuant to an authorization issued under the laws of
Puerto Rico. Under those IRC authorities, TTB has issued regulations in
27 CFR part 26, Liquors and Articles from Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands, which require respondents to use form TTB F 5110.31 to apply
for and receive permission to ship Puerto Rican distilled spirits to
the United States without payment of Federal excise tax. The form
identifies the specific spirits to be shipped, the amount of spirits
shipped and received, and the shipment's consignor in Puerto Rico and
consignee in the United States. The collected information is necessary
to protect the revenue.
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 number of responses per respondent and burden hours
associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 10.
Average Responses per Respondent: 58 per year.
Number of Responses: 580.
Average Per-response Burden: 0.75 hour.
Total Burden: 435 hours.
OMB Control No. 1513-0047
Title: Distilled Spirits Production Records (TTB REC 5110/01) and
Monthly Report of Production Operations.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5110.40.
TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB REC 5110/01.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5001 sets forth, in general, the
Federal excise tax rates for distilled spirits produced in or imported
into the United States. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5207 also requires
distilled spirit plant (DSP) proprietors to maintain records of
production, storage, denaturation, and processing activities and to
submit reports covering those operations, as the Secretary prescribes
by regulation. The TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require DSP
proprietors to keep records regarding the materials used to produce
distilled spirits, the amount of spirits produced, the withdrawal of
spirits from the production account, and the production of spirits
byproducts. The regulations in part 19 also require these records to be
retained for at least three years. In addition, DSP proprietors must
submit monthly reports of production operations using TTB F 5110.40.
The form collects information about the types and amounts of distilled
spirits produced, the amounts of certain types of materials used in the
production of the spirits, and the disposition of the spirits. TTB uses
the collected information to account for the amount of distilled
spirits produced at a DSP and to determine the proprietor's resulting
excise tax liability and the amount of bond coverage needed if such
coverage is required.
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 resulting
from continued growth in the number of DSPs in the United States, TTB
is increasing the number of annual respondents, responses, and burden
hours associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 4,800.
Average Responses per Respondent: 12 per year.
Number of Responses: 57,600.
Average Per-response Burden: 2 hours.
Total Burden: 115,200 hours.
OMB Control No. 1513-0065
Title: Wholesale Dealers Records of Receipt of Alcohol Beverages,
Disposition of Distilled Spirits, and Monthly Summary Reports (TTB REC
5170/2).
TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB REC 5170/2.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5121 requires wholesale dealers in
liquors to keep daily records of all distilled spirits received and
disposed of, and, at the Secretary's discretion, to submit periodic
summaries of those daily records. Section 5121 also requires wholesale
dealers in liquors and wholesale dealers in beer to keep daily records
of all wine and beer received. In addition, section 5121 authorizes the
Secretary to issue regulations regarding the keeping and submission of
these records and summary reports by such wholesale dealers. The IRC at
26 U.S.C. 5123 also sets forth retention and inspection requirements
for the required wholesale dealer records and reports. Under these IRC
authorities, TTB has issued regulations applicable to wholesale
dealers, which are contained in 27 CFR part 31. These regulations
require wholesale dealers to keep usual
[[Page 64042]]
and customary business records, such as consignment and purchase
invoices, documenting their daily receipt and disposition of distilled
spirits and their daily receipt of wine and beer. TTB, at its
discretion, also may require a particular wholesale liquor dealer to
submit monthly summary reports regarding all distilled spirits received
and disposed of on a daily basis. In addition, the TTB regulations
require that wholesaler dealers retain the required records and copies
of any required monthly summary reports at their place of business,
available for inspection, for at least 3 years.
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.
Number of Respondents: 30,400 for recordkeeping; 50 for
monthly summary reports.
Average Responses per Respondent: 1 for recordkeeping; 12
for monthly summary reports.
Number of Responses: 30,400 for recordkeeping; 600 for
monthly summary reports.
Average Per-response Burden: None for usual and customary
recordkeeping; 2 hours for monthly summary reports.
Total Burden: The keeping of usual and customary business
records imposes no burden on respondents per the Office of Management
and Budget regulations at 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2). For monthly summary
reports, the estimated total burden is 1,200 hours.
OMB Control No. 1513-0088
Title: Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Related Documents for Tax
Returns and Claims (TTB REC 5000/24).
TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB REC 5000/24.
Abstract: TTB is responsible for the collection of Federal excise
taxes imposed on distilled spirits, wine, beer, tobacco products,
cigarette papers and tubes, and firearms and ammunition, and also for
the collection of special occupational taxes related to tobacco
products and cigarette papers and tubes. The IRC (26 U.S.C.) requires
that such taxes be collected on the basis of a return, and it requires
taxpayers to maintain records that document the information provided on
such returns. The IRC also allows for the filing of claims for the
abatement, credit, remission, or refund (drawback) of taxes under
certain circumstances, and it requires claimants to maintain records to
support such claims. TTB uses the collected information maintained in
these records to confirm the amount of excise and special occupational
taxes rightly due, and to verify respondent computations on tax returns
or the correctness of claims for refund or other adjustments to tax
liabilities.
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.
Number of Respondents: 67,000.
Average Responses per Respondent: 8 per year.
Number of Responses: 536,000.
Average Per-response Burden: 1 hour.
Total Burden: 536,000 hours.
OMB Control No. 1513-0094
Title: Federal Firearms and Ammunition Quarterly Excise Tax Return.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5300.26.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 4181 imposes a Federal excise tax on
the sale of pistols, revolvers, other firearms, and shells and
cartridges (ammunition) by manufacturers, producers, and importers of
such articles. The IRC, at 26 U.S.C. 6001, 6011, and 6302, also
authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations regarding IRC-based
taxes, returns and records, including the mode and time for collecting
taxes due. Under this authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 53
require persons who have firearms and/or ammunition excise tax
liability to submit a quarterly tax return using form TTB F 5300.26.
The information collected on this return is necessary to identify the
taxpayer, the amount and type of taxes due, and the amount of payments
made. TTB uses the return information to determine whether the taxpayer
has paid the correct amount of tax and to take additional action, such
as assessment or refund, as necessary.
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
decreasing the estimated number of annual respondents, responses, and
burden hours associated with this information collection.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 635.
Average Responses per Respondent: 4.
Number of Responses: 2,540
Average Per-response Burden: 7 hours.
Total Burden: 17,780 hours.
OMB Control No. 1513-0130
Title: Report of Removal, Transfer, or Sale of Processed Tobacco.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5250.2.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5722 requires importers and
manufacturers of tobacco products, processed tobacco, or cigarette
papers and tubes to make reports containing such information, in such
form, at such times, and for such periods as the Secretary prescribes
by regulation. While processed tobacco is not subject to Federal excise
tax under the IRC, tobacco products subject to such taxes may be
manufactured using processed tobacco. To protect the revenue by
preventing diversion of processed tobacco to illegal, unpermitted
tobacco product manufacturers, TTB has issued regulations that require
persons holding TTB permits as importers or manufacturers of processed
tobacco or tobacco products to report all removals, transfers, or sales
of processed tobacco made for export or for shipment to any domestic
entity that does not hold such a permit or a permit to operate as an
export warehouse proprietor. In general, respondents must report each
such shipment by the close of the next business day using form TTB F
5250.2. However, exporters may apply to TTB to report removals made for
export using a monthly summary report. TTB F 5250.2 and the monthly
summary report require information identifying the TTB permit holder
making the processed tobacco shipment, the type and quantity of
processed tobacco shipped, the person(s) purchasing (or receiving) and
delivering the processed tobacco, and the destination address of the
shipment.
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, responses, and
burden hours associated with this information collection.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 32.
Average Responses per Respondent: 156 per year.
Number of Responses: 4,992.

Title: Specific and Continuing Export Bonds for Distilled Spirits
or Wine.
TTB Form Numbers: TTB F 5100.25 and TTB F 5100.30.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5175, 5214, and 5362 authorizes
exporters (other than proprietors of distilled spirits plants or bonded
wine premises) to withdraw distilled spirits and wine without payment
of tax for export, use on certain vessels or aircraft, transfer to a
foreign trade zone, or transfer to a customs bonded warehouse pending
exportation, subject to such regulations as the Secretary prescribes.
Under that IRC authority, to protect the revenue and provide exporters
with a degree of flexibility based on individual need, the TTB alcohol
export regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow exporters to file either a
specific bond using TTB F 5100.25 to cover a single export shipment or
a continuing bond using TTB F 5100.30 to cover export shipments made
from time to time.
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.
