SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)
(1.) Title: Brewer's Notices; and Letterhead Applications and
Notices Filed by Brewers.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0005.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5401
requires brewers to file a notice of intent to operate a brewery,
containing the information the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by
regulation. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5411, 5412, 5414, 5415,
and 5417, authorizes certain other uses of and operations at breweries
under regulations issued the Secretary. Under those IRC authorities,
the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 25, Beer, require new brewery
applicants to submit TTB F 5130.10, Brewer's Notice, which provides TTB
with information similar to that collected on a permit application;
require brewers to submit an amended Brewer's Notice when certain
changes occur to the brewery's ownership, control, location,
description, and bond or operating status; and require brewers to
submit letterhead applications or notices regarding certain changes in
brewery operations and the destruction, loss, or return of beer. The
TTB part 25 regulations also require brewers to maintain a permanent
file at their premises containing their Brewer's Notice, its
incorporated supporting documents, and the related letterhead
applications and notices, available for inspection by TTB officers.
This information collection request is necessary to protect the revenue
and ensure that brewers conduct their operations in compliance with
relevant Federal laws and regulations.
Form: TTB F 5130.10.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 7,820.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 10,320.
Estimated Time per Response: Varies from 30 minutes to 3 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 10,870.
(2.) Title: Application for an Alcohol Fuel Producer Permit Under
26 U.S.C. 5181.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0051.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: Under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code at 26
U.S.C.
[[Page 89500]]
5181(a)(1), persons wishing to establish a distilled spirits plant for
the sole purpose of producing and receiving distilled spirits for fuel
use must provide an application and bond as the Secretary of the
Treasury may prescribe by regulation. Under this authority, TTB has
issued regulations concerning the establishment of such alcohol fuel
plants (AFPs) in 27 CFR part 19, subpart X. Those regulations require
that a person wishing to establish a new AFP must submit an application
for an alcohol fuel producer permit using form TTB F 5110.74. The
regulations also require existing AFP proprietors to use that same form
to make certain amendments to their permit information. TTB F 5110.74
and its required supporting documents identify or describe, among other
things, the applicant, the proposed AFP's location and layout, its
stills, its size category (small, medium, or large) based on the amount
of alcohol fuel to be produced annually, and the security measures to
be taken to prevent theft and diversion of the distilled spirits
produced. The collected information allows TTB to determine the
applicant's eligibility under the IRC to obtain or modify an alcohol
fuel producer permit, and to determine whether the applicant's AFP
operations will conform to Federal law and regulations. Such
determinations are necessary to protect the revenue as distilled
spirits produced at an AFP are potable and thus subject to Federal
excise tax until denatured for fuel use. Once distilled spirits are
denatured at an AFP, the resulting alcohol fuel may be withdrawn free
of tax as authorized by the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5214(a)(12).
Form: TTB F 5110.74.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 75.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 75.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour 36 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 96.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Spencer W. Clark,
Treasury PRA Clearance Officer.
