SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)

    OMB Number: 1513-0013.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Change of Bond (Consent of Surety).
    Form: TTB F 5000.18.
    Abstract: To ensure that the Federal excise tax revenue imposed on 
alcohol and tobacco products under the provisions of chapter 51 and 
chapter 52 of the IRC is not jeopardized, TTB is authorized by the IRC 
at 26 U.S.C. 5114, 5173, 5272, 5354, 5401, and 5711 to require persons 
qualified to operate or deal in these industries to post a bond to 
ensure payment of Federal excise taxes by the bonding company should 
the proprietor default. Should the circumstances of a proprietor's 
operation change from the original bond agreement, TTB regulations 
require the filing of form TTB F 5000.18, Change of Bond (Consent of 
Surety), in lieu of obtaining a new bond. This form is executed by both 
the proprietor and the bonding company, and it acts as an extension of 
the original bond, identifying new activities or conditions previously 
not identified on the bond. TTB F 5000.18 is executed in the same 
manner as a bond and has the same authority as a binding legal 
agreement to protect the revenue.
    Affected Public: Private Sector: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 2,000.

    OMB Number: 1513-0020.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Application for and Certification/Exemption of Label/Bottle 
Approval.
    Form: 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).
    Affected Public: Private Sector: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 73,596.

    OMB Number: 1513-0052.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Title: Alcohol Fuel Plants (AFP) Records, Reports, and Notices (REC 
5110/10).
    Form: TTB F 5110.75.
    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 X, 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.
    Affected Public: Private Sector: Businesses or other for-profits; 
farms.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 2,784.

    OMB Number: 1513-0107.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Monthly Report--Importer of Tobacco Products or Processed 
Tobacco.
    Form: 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 so TTB may determine if tobacco products or processed 
tobacco are being diverted for illegal purposes and to ensure that 
holders of basic permits are engaging in the operations stated on their 
basic permit.
    Affected Public: Private Sector: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 3,696.

    OMB Number: 1513-0118.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Formulas for Fermented Beverage Products, TTB REC 5052/1.
    Abstract: Section 5052 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC; 
26 U.S.C. 5052) defines the term ``beer'' to include, among other 
things, certain traditional products such as beer, ale, porter, and 
stout. The TTB regulations require brewers to file formulas for certain 
non-traditional fermented products, including products to which 
flavors, colorings, or other nonbeverage ingredients are added (see 27 
CFR 25.55). As needed, brewers file a formula as written notice, and 
the TTB regulations provide 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.
    Affected Public: Private Sector: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 1,326.

    Dated: July 27, 2015.
