TTB uses this information during revenue inspections to identify the 
use and capacity of the structures or equipment.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
The information collection is unchanged. Also, because this information 
collection consists of marks, signs, and calibrations displayed or made

estimated number of respondents 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 or other for-profits.

extension of the time period to make their tax payment because of 
circumstances beyond the taxpayer's control.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision.

5451.2 to submit the data required to support claims for drawback of 
Federal alcohol excise taxes. TTB uses the data collected on this form 
to verify claims for drawback of taxes and, hence, to protect the 
revenue. This form is used to verify that all distilled spirits can be 
accounted for and that drawback is paid only in the amount prescribed 
by law.
    Current Actions: TTB is submitting this collection as a revision. 
The form 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 drawback claims TTB receives.
