SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)
1. Title: Volatile Fruit-Flavor Concentrate Plans-Applications and
Related Records.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0006.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: Volatile fruit-flavor concentrates contain alcohol
when made from the mash or juice of a fruit by an evaporative process.
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 their manufacturers file applications, keep
records, and meet certain other requirements prescribed by regulation.
Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 18 require
volatile fruit-flavor concentrate manufacturers to register using form
TTB F 5520.3, file amendments to their registrations using that form or
a letterhead application (depending on circumstances), and 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.
Form Number: TTB F 5520.3.
Recordkeeping Number: TTB REC 5520/2.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 55.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
[[Page 53730]]
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 55.
Estimated Time per Response: 2 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 110 hours.
2. Title: Volatile Fruit-Flavor Concentrate Manufacturers--Annual
Report, and Usual and Customary Business Records.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0022.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: Volatile fruit-flavor concentrates contain alcohol
when made from the mash or juice of a fruit by an evaporative process.
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 their manufacturers keep records and meet certain other requirements
prescribed by regulation. Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations
in 27 CFR part 18 require volatile fruit-flavor concentrate
manufacturers to submit an annual summary report, using form TTB F
5520.2, accounting for all such products 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.
Form Number: TTB F 5520.2.
Recordkeeping Number: TTB REC 5520/1.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 55.

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Dated: September 22, 2021.
