SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)
1. Title: Personnel Questionnaire--Alcohol and Tobacco Products.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0002.
Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: Provisions of chapters 51 and 52 of the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC, 26 U.S.C. chapters 51 and 52) and the Federal
Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act; 27 U.S.C. 201 et seq.) require all
persons who desire to engage in certain alcohol and tobacco activities
to obtain a permit or registration from, or file a notice with, the
Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary) before beginning operations.
Those statutes also provide that an applicant is not eligible for such
approvals if the Secretary finds that the applicant (including company
officers, directors, or principal investors), has certain criminal
convictions or is not likely to lawfully operate. Under those IRC and
FAA Act authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)
regulations in 27 CFR chapter I authorize the collection of information
from applicants using form TTB F 5000.9 regarding their identity,
business history, and any criminal record so that TTB can determine if
they meet the statutory qualifications to hold an alcohol and tobacco
permit, registration, or notice.
Form: TTB F 5000.9.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 8,400.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 8,400.
Estimated Time per Response: 51 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 7,167 hours.
2. Title: Drawback on Wines Exported.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0016.
Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5041 generally imposes Federal
excise tax on wine produced or imported into the United States, while
section 5362(c) allows domestic wine to be exported, transferred to a
foreign trade zone, or used on certain vessels and aircraft without
payment of that tax. In the case of domestic wine that is subsequently
exported, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5062(b) provides that the exporter may
claim drawback (refund) of the tax paid or determined on such wine.
Under the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 28, exporters use form TTB F
5120.24 to document export of a tax-paid or -determined wine and to
submit drawback claims for the excise tax paid or determined on the
wine. To protect the revenue, TTB uses the provided information to
verify that the exported wine is eligible for drawback and the refund
amount claimed by the exporter.
Form: TTB F 5120.24.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 5.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 25.
Estimated Time per Response: 67 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 28 hours.
3. Title: Specific and Continuing Transportation Bonds--Distilled
Spirits or Wines Withdrawn for Transportation to Manufacturing Bonded
Warehouse, Class Six.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0031.
Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: Under United States customs law at 19 U.S.C. 1311 and
the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5175, 5214(a), and 5362(c), distilled spirits and
wines subject to excise tax may be transferred tax-free to a
manufacturing bonded warehouse for use in the production of products
for export if a bond is provided to protect the revenue and ensure
compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements. Under those
authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 28 require
manufacturing bonded warehouse proprietors to file a bond to cover the
tax-free transfer of distilled spirits or wine from a distilled spirits
plant or wine premises to their bonded warehouse. Such proprietors may
file either a specific transportation bond using form TTB F 5100.12 to
cover a single tax-free transfer, or a continuing transportation bond
using form TTB F 5110.67 to cover multiple tax-free transfers made over
a period of time. This information collection request is necessary to
meet statutory requirements and protect the revenue while providing
operational flexibility to manufacturing warehouse proprietors.
Forms: TTB F 5100.12 and TTB F 5110.67.
[[Page 31860]]
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 50.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 50.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 50 hours.
4. Title: Distilled Spirits Plants--Transaction and Supporting
Records (TTB REC 5110/05).
OMB Control Number: 1513-0056.
Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5001 generally imposes an excise
tax on distilled spirits produced or imported into the United States,
and section 5207 requires distilled spirits plant (DSP) proprietors to
maintain records and provide reports related to their production,
storage, denaturing, and processing activities as prescribed by
regulation. Under those authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR
parts 19, 26, 27, and 28 require DSP proprietors to keep certain usual
and customary transaction and supporting records that are common to
their distilled spirits production, storage, denaturing, and processing
activities. Proprietors use the records required under this collection
and those required under each DSP activity to document the data
provided on their monthly DSP operations reports. To protect the
revenue, TTB personnel may examine the records required under this
collection to verify the data provided by DSP proprietors in those
reports and determine their Federal excise tax liability.
Form: None.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,800.
Frequency of Response: Once annually.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 5,800.
Estimated Time per Response and Total Annual Burden Hours: None.
Per the OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320(b)(2), regulatory requirements to
keep usual and customary business records impose no additional burden
on respondents.
5. Title: Letterhead Applications and Notices Relating to Denatured
Spirits (TTB REC 5150/2).
OMB Control Number: 1513-0061.
Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5214, denatured spirits
(distilled spirits with added denaturants rendering them unfit for
beverage purposes) may be withdrawn from DSPs free of tax for the
manufacture of certain nonbeverage personal and household products.
Since it is possible to recover potable alcohol from denatured spirits
and articles made with denatured spirits, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5271-
5275 sets forth provisions regarding such spirits and articles. Under
those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 20 require
specially denatured spirits (SDS) dealers and nonbeverage product
manufacturers that use or recover SDS to apply for and obtain a permit.
Those regulations also require such permit holders, and non-permit
holders that traffic in large quantities of completely denatured
spirits (CDS), to submit letterhead applications or notices to TTB
regarding certain changes to their permit information (if applicable),
use of alternate methods and emergency variations, adoption or use of
certain formulas, losses in transit, and other specified matters. The
collected information is necessary to implement the IRC's statutory
provisions regarding denatured spirits and protect the revenue.
Form: None.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,800.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 3,800.
Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,900 hours.
6. Title: COLAs Online Access Request.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0111.
Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: To provide consumers with adequate information as to
the identity of alcohol beverages and prohibit consumer deception, the
FAA Act at 26 U.S.C. 205, and the related TTB regulations in 27 CFR
chapter I require alcohol beverage bottlers and importers to apply for
Certificates of Label Approval (COLAs) for such products introduced
into interstate commerce or released from customs custody.
Additionally, those regulations require domestic bottlers of distilled
spirits and wines to apply for COLA exemptions for certain products
sold only in intra-State commerce and require domestic bottlers and
importers of distilled spirits to apply for approval of distinctive
bottles. Most bottlers and importers complete and submit such
applications electronically using TTB's web-based COLAs Online system,
and to protect that system from cyber threats and misuse, persons
desiring to use it must first submit and receive TTB approval of a
COLAs Online Access Request using form TTB F 5013.2 or its electronic
equivalent. The collected information identifies the COLAs Online
access applicant and confirms their authority to act on behalf of a
specific alcohol beverage industry member.
Form: TTB F 5013.2.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,100.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 5,100.
Estimated Time per Response: 18 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,530 hours.
7. Title: Customer Satisfaction Surveys for Permits Online (PONL),
Formulas Online (FONL), and COLAs Online.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0124.
Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.

original or amended alcohol or tobacco permits, Formulas Online (FONL)
for approval of certain alcohol product formulas, and COLAs Online for
submission of certificates of label approval (COLAs) for alcohol
beverages sold in interstate commerce. These customer satisfaction
surveys assist TTB in identifying potential customer needs and
problems, along with opportunities for improvements in our PONL, FONL,
COLAs Online electronic application systems.

Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 18,000.
