    Abstract: TTB F 5100.16 is completed by distilled spirits plant 
proprietors who wish to receive spirits in bond from other distilled 
spirits plants. The proprietor of the receiving distilled spirits plant 
becomes liable for the Federal excise tax on the spirits received in 
bond from another plant. In order to protect the revenue, TTB uses the 
information collected on this form to determine if the applicant has 
sufficient bond coverage for the additional tax liability assumed when 
spirits are transferred in bond.
    Current Actions: We are submitting this information collection for 
extension purposes only. The information collection, estimated number 
of respondents, and estimated number of burden hours remain unchanged.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

    Title: Distilled Spirits Plants Warehousing Records (TTB REC 5110/
02), and Monthly Report of Storage Operations.
    OMB Number: 1513-0039.
    TTB Form Number: F 5110.11.
    TTB Recordkeeping Requirement Number: REC 5110/02.
    Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 5005(c) provides 
that the proprietor of a distilled spirits plant is liable for the 
Federal excise taxes on all spirits stored on the plant's premises, and 
the records and reports required under this information collection are 
used by TTB to protect that revenue. TTB uses the collected information 
to account for a proprietor's tax liability, to verify the quantity and 
kind of distilled spirits and wine in storage, and to determine the 
adequacy of a proprietor's bond coverage. TTB also uses this 
information to monitor industry activities and compliance.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
The information collection remains unchanged. However, TTB is 
increasing the estimated number of respondents

[[Page 1681]]

and the resulting total annual burden hours associated with this 
information collection due to an increase in the number of distilled 
spirits plants regulated by TTB.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,198.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 52,752.

    Title: Distilled Spirits Plants--Excise Taxes (TTB REC 5110/06).
    OMB Number: 1513-0045.
    TTB Recordkeeping Requirement Number: REC 5110/06.
    Abstract: This collection of information is necessary to account 
for and verify taxable removals of distilled spirits. Under the TTB 
regulations, industry members must keep records of spirits removed and 
the applicable tax rates, and must keep records to account for and 
verify nontaxable removals. TTB uses the data collected to audit tax 
returns and payments, verify claims for refunds or remission of tax, 
and account for cover over of taxes to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin 
Islands.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
The information collection remains unchanged. However, TTB is 
increasing the estimated number of respondents and the resulting total 
annual burden hours associated with this information collection due to 
an increase in the number of distilled spirits plants regulated by TTB.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,198.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 57,148.

    Title: Formula for Distilled Spirits under the Federal Alcohol 
Administration Act.
    OMB Number: 1513-0046.
    TTB Form Number: F 5110.38.
    Abstract: TTB F 5110.38 is used to determine the classification of 
distilled spirits for labeling and is also used for consumer 
protection. The form collects information regarding the person filing 
the formula, the type of product to be made, and the formulation for 
the product, including ingredients used such as the flavoring and 
blending materials and coloring agents.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
TTB F 5110.38 remains unchanged. However, TTB is decreasing the 
estimated number of respondents and the resulting annual burden hours 
due to a decrease in the number of respondents using this form, which 
TTB is phasing out in favor of TTB F 5100.51, Formula and Process for 
Domestic and Imported Alcohol Beverages, approved under OMB control 
number 1513-0122.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,000.

    Title: Distilled Spirits Plant Denaturation Records (TTB REC 5110/
04), and Monthly Report of Processing (Denaturing) Operations.
    OMB Number: 1513-0049.
    TTB Form Number: F 5110.43.
    TTB Recordkeeping Requirement Number: REC 5110/04.
    Abstract: The information collected is necessary to account for and 
to verify the denaturation of distilled spirits. A tax is imposed on 
distilled spirits other than those used for certain authorized 
nonbeverage purposes. Denatured spirits are normally not taxed and, as 
a result, a full accounting of those spirits is necessary to ensure 
that they have not been unlawfully diverted for beverage use. TTB uses 
the information collected under this information collection to protect 
the revenue.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
The form and recordkeeping requirement associated with this information 
collection remain unchanged. However, TTB is increasing the 
collection's estimated number of respondents and the resulting total 
annual burden hours due to an increase in the number of distilled 
spirits plants regulated by TTB that engage in denaturing operations.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 365.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 4,380.

    Title: Distilled Spirits Plants--Transaction and Supporting Records 
(TTB REC 5110/5).
    OMB Number: 1513-0056.
    TTB Recordkeeping Requirement Number: REC 5110/5.
    Abstract: A tax is imposed on distilled spirits other than those 
used for certain authorized nonbeverage purposes. The Internal Revenue 
Code at 26 U.S.C. 5207 provides that the proprietor of a distilled 
spirits plant (DSP) must maintain records of production activities, 
storage activities, denaturing activities, and processing activities, 
and must render reports covering those activities. This collection of 
information are those transaction records which a DSP proprietor must 
maintain as source documents for each of the activities listed above. 
The information contained in these records are used by distilled 
spirits plant proprietors to account for spirits and by TTB to verify 
those accounts and consequent tax liabilities. These records also 
account for spirits eligible for credit or drawback of Federal excise 
tax.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
The recordkeeping requirement associated with this information 
collection remains unchanged. However, TTB is increasing the 
collection's estimated number of respondents and the resulting total 
annual burden hours due to an increase in the number of distilled 
spirits plants regulated by TTB.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,198.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 47,916.

    Title: Letterhead Applications and Notices Relating to Tax-Free 
Alcohol (TTB REC 5150/4).
    OMB Number: 1513-0060.
    TTB Recordkeeping Requirement Number: REC 5150/4.
    Abstract: Tax-free alcohol is used for nonbeverage purposes in 
scientific research, for medicinal uses, and for other purposes by 
educational organizations, hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and 
similar institutions, and by State, local, and tribal governments. Use 
of tax-free alcohol is regulated to prevent illegal diversion to 
beverage use and for public safety. The applications, notices, and 
source records required by this information collection protect the 
revenue, help prevent and detect diversion, and ensure lawful use of 
tax-free alcohol.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this information collection for 
extension purposes only. The information collection, estimated number 
of respondents, and estimated number of burden hours remain unchanged.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits; Not-for-profit 
institutions; State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,333.

[[Page 1682]]

    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,667.

    Title: Retail Liquor Dealers' Records of Receipts of Alcohol 
Beverages and Commercial Invoices (TTB REC 5170/3).
    OMB Number: 1513-0066.
    TTB Recordkeeping Requirement Number: REC 5170/3.
    Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 5122 requires 
retail liquor dealers to keep records of all alcohol beverages received 
and to keep records of the disposition of alcohol beverages as may be 
prescribed by regulation. The TTB regulations at 27 CFR 31.181 require 
retail dealers to keep receipt invoices (or a separate record book) of 
all alcohol beverages received and to keep records of any sales of 
alcohol beverages of over 20 wine gallons to the same person at the 
same time. Under 27 CFR 31.191, these records must be maintained for at 
least three years. The information contained in these retail dealer 
records fulfills the statutory requirement.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this information collection for 
extension purposes only. The information collection, estimated number 
of respondents, and estimated total annual burden hours remain 
unchanged.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits; State, Local, and 
Tribal Governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 455,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1 (one).

    Title: Wholesale Liquor and Beer Dealer Applications, Letterheads, 
and Notices Relating to Operations (Variations in Format or Preparation 
of Records), TTB REC 5170/6.
    OMB Number: 1513-0067.
    TTB Recordkeeping Requirement Number: REC 5170/6.
    Abstract: Under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code at 26 
U.S.C. 5121, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 31 require wholesale 
dealers to keep records of the receipt and disposition of distilled 
spirits. As authorized at 27 CFR 31.159, wholesale dealers may submit 
letterhead applications to the appropriate TTB officer for approval of 
variations in the type and format of such records, and, as authorized 
at 27 CFR 31.172, for variations in the place of retention for those 
records. This information collection consists of the records related to 
such variance requests, including variance applications and notices of 
TTB approval of requested variances. TTB review of these variance 
applications is necessary in order to determine that the variance would 
not unduly hinder the effective administration of 27 CFR part 31, 
jeopardize the revenue, or be contrary to any provisions of law.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
The recordkeeping requirement remains unchanged. However, TTB is 
decreasing the estimated number of respondents and the resulting total 
annual burden hours associated with this information collection due to 
a decrease in the number of recordkeeping variance requests it receives 
from wholesale dealers.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 50.

    Title: Alternate Methods or Procedures and Emergency Variations 
from Requirements for Exports of Liquors (TTB REC 5170/7).
    OMB Number: 1513-0082.
    TTB Recordkeeping Requirement Number: REC 5170/7.
    Abstract: Under the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 28, exporters of 
alcohol may file letterhead applications requesting approval of 
alternate methods or procedures or emergency variations from the 
requirements of that part. TTB uses such applications to determine if 
the requested method, procedure, or emergency variation will protect 
the revenue and will not pose a burden to TTB in administering part 28, 
while allowing exporters the maximum operational flexibility.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
This recordkeeping requirement remains unchanged. However, TTB is 
decreasing the estimated number of respondents and the annual burden 
hours associated with this information collection due to a decrease in 
the number of exporters applying for alternate methods or procedures 
and emergency variances.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 270.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 108.

    Title: Notices Relating to Payment of Firearms and Ammunition 
Excise Tax.
    OMB Number: 1513-0097.
    TTB Form or Recordkeeping Number: None.
    Abstract: Federal excise taxes are collected on the sale or use of 
firearms and ammunition by firearms or ammunition manufacturers, 
importers, and producers. Taxpayers who elect to pay these excise taxes 
by electronic fund transfer (EFT) must furnish a written notice to TTB 
when they elect to use or discontinue tax payment by EFT. TTB uses this 
information to anticipate and monitor taxpayer methods of payment and 
to ensure that taxes are remitted in the appropriate form, as chosen by 
the taxpayer.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this information collection for 
extension purposes only. The information collection, estimated number 
of respondents, and estimated number of burden hours remain unchanged.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1 (one).

    Title: Applications, Notices, and Permits Relative to Importation 
and Exportation of Distilled Spirits, Wine, and Beer, Including Puerto 
Rico and Virgin Islands.
    OMB Number: 1513-0100.
    TTB Form or Recordkeeping Number: None.
    Abstract: Distilled spirits, industrial alcohol, beer and wine are 
taxed when imported into the United States, but the Federal excise 
taxes collected on these commodities brought into the United States 
from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are largely returned to 
their respective governments. Exports are generally tax free. The 
documents required under this information collection ensure that the 
proper taxes are collected and returned according to law.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this information collection for 
extension purposes only. The information collection, estimated number 
of respondents, and estimated total annual burden hours remain 
unchanged.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 20.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 180.

    Title: Information Collected in Support of Small Producers Wine Tax 
Credit, TTB REC 5120/11.
    OMB Number: 1513-0104.
    TTB Recordkeeping Requirement Number: REC 5120/11.

[[Page 1683]]

    Abstract: Certain small wine producers are eligible for a tax 
credit which may be taken to reduce the Federal excise tax they pay on 
wines removed from their premises. In addition, small producers can 
transfer their tax credit to bonded warehouses, which store their wine 
and ship it on their instructions. Under TTB regulations, the 
transferee uses information provided by the small producer to take the 
appropriate credit on behalf of the small producer, and the producer 
will use the information to monitor its own tax payments to ensure it 
does not exceed the authorized annual credit. The information is used 
by taxpayers in preparing their returns and by TTB to verify tax 
computation.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this information collection for 
extension purposes only. The information collection, estimated number 
of respondents, and estimated total annual burden hours remain 
unchanged.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 280.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,800.
