SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Request for Comments

    The Department of the Treasury and its Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and 
Trade Bureau (TTB), as part of their continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork and respondent burden, invite the general public and other 
Federal agencies to comment on the proposed or continuing information 
collections listed below in this notice, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be included or 
summarized in our request for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
approval of the relevant information collection. All comments are part 
of the public record and subject to disclosure. Please do not include 
any confidential or inappropriate material in your comments.
    We invite comments on: (a) Whether this information collection is 
necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions, 
including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the information collection's 
burden; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information collected; (d) ways to minimize the information 
collection's burden on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of 
operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide the 
requested information.

Information Collections Open for Comment

    Currently, we are seeking comments on the following forms, 
recordkeeping requirements, or questionnaires:
    Title: Change of Bond (Consent of Surety).
    OMB Number: 1513-0013.
    TTB Form Number: TTB F 5000.18.
    Abstract: A bond is required in certain circumstances to cover 
Federal excise tax liabilities incurred from such things as the 
production, removal, or transfer of certain taxable commodities. A 
Change of Bond (Consent of Surety), TTB F 5000.18, is executed by both 
the bonding company and a proprietor when there is a change to a bond 
filed with TTB. The TTB F 5000.18 acts as a binding legal agreement 
between the two parties to extend the terms of a bond. TTB F 5000.18 is 
filed with TTB and a copy is retained by TTB as long as it remains 
current and in force.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
The form remains unchanged. However, we are updating the number of 
respondents and the total annual burden to reflect a decrease in the 
number of respondents.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,330.
    Title: Application for and Certification/Exemption of Label/Bottle 
Approval.
    OMB Number: 1513-0020.
    TTB Form Number: TTB F 5100.31.
    Abstract: To provide consumers with adequate information as to the 
identity of alcohol beverage products and to prevent consumer deception 
and unfair advertising practices, the Federal Alcohol Administration 
Act at 27 U.S.C. 205(e) requires that alcohol beverages sold or 
introduced into interstate or foreign commerce be labeled in conformity 
with regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Further, the 
producer, bottler, or importer of alcohol beverages must receive 
approval of the label for such products from TTB prior to their 
introduction into commerce. TTB F 5100.31 is a dual-use form; industry 
members use it to request and to obtain the required label approval. 
The form serves as both an application for and, if approved by TTB, a 
certificate of label approval (or exemption from a certificate of label 
approval).
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
On the TTB F 5100.31 form, TTB is making additions and clarifications 
to the list of allowable revisions listed in part V of the form. TTB 
also is updating the number of respondents and the total annual burden 
to reflect an increase in the number of respondents.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 8,850.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 73,618.
    Title: Alcohol Fuel Plants (AFP) Records, Reports, and Notices.
    OMB Number: 1513-0052.
    TTB Form Number: TTB F 5110.75.
    TTB Recordkeeping Requirement Number: TTB REC 5110/10.
    Abstract: To safeguard Federal alcohol excise tax revenue, 26 
U.S.C. 5181 and 5207 require that a proprietor of an alcohol fuel plant 
(AFP) make such application, maintain such records, and render such 
reports as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe. The TTB 
regulations in 27 CFR, part 19, subpart Y, implement those statutory 
requirements. The information collected under these regulations is 
necessary to identify and determine that persons are qualified to 
produce alcohol for fuel purposes, to account for distilled spirits 
produced and verify its proper disposition, to keep registrations 
current, and to evaluate permissible variations from prescribed 
procedures.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this information collection for 
extension purposes only. The information collection, estimated number 
of respondents, and the estimated total annual burden hours remain 
unchanged.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

[[Page 23073]]

    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits; farms.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,618.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,784.
    Title: Monthly Report--Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco 
Importer.
    OMB Number: 1513-0107.
    TTB Form Number: TTB F 5220.6.
    Abstract: Reports on the importation and disposition of tobacco 
products and processed tobacco are used, along with other information, 
to determine whether those persons issued the permits required by 26 
U.S.C. 5713 are complying with TTB regulations. Those engaged in 
importing tobacco products and processed tobacco are required to 
account for the importation and disposition of such products on a 
monthly basis.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
The form remains unchanged. However, we are updating the number of 
respondents and the total annual burden to reflect a decrease in the 
number of respondents.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 330.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,696.
    Title: Formulas for Fermented Beverage Products.
    OMB Number: 1513-0118.
    TTB Recordkeeping Requirement Number: TTB REC 5052/1.
    Abstract: Section 5052 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC) 
defines the term ``beer'' to include, among other things, certain 
products such as beer, ale, porter, and stout. The TTB regulations at 
27 CFR 25.55 set forth the circumstances under which the filing of a 
formula for beer is required. Section 25.55 require, for example, the 
filing of a written notice in the form of a formula only for certain 
products that will undergo any manufacturing process not generally 
recognized as a tradition process in the production of those products 
designated as beer, ale, porter, or stout, or for certain other non-
traditional fermented products produced at a brewery. Brewers file 
formulas as needed and only for the types of products specified in the 
regulations. TTB provides that a brewer operating multiple breweries 
may file a single formula to cover the production of a specified 
fermented product at all of their breweries.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
While TTB has reduced the number of formulas requiring submission by 
increasing the ingredients and processes that do not require approval, 
the number of brewers and products in the market place has 
significantly increased. Therefore, we are updating the number of 
respondents and the total annual burden to reflect an increase in the 
number of respondents.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 505.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,326.
