Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)
OMB Control Number: 1513-0016.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Title: Drawback on Wines Exported.
Form: TTB F 5120.24.
Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5062(b),
provides, in general, that exporters of taxpaid domestic wine may claim
``drawback'' of the Federal excise tax paid or determined on the
exported wine. Exporters use TTB F 5120.24 to document the wine's
exportation and to submit drawback claims for the exported wine. TTB
uses the provided information to determine if the exported wine is
eligible for drawback and to calculate the amount of drawback due. This
information is necessary to protect the revenue.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 179.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0031.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Title: Specific and Continuing Transportation Bond--Distilled
Spirits or Wines Withdrawn for Transportation to Manufacturing Bonded
Warehouse--Class Six.
Form: TTB F 5100.12, TTB F 5110.67.
Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5214(a)(6) and 5362(c)(4) authorizes
the transfer without payment of tax of, respectively, distilled spirits
and wine from a bonded premises to certain customs bonded warehouses.
Under 19 U.S.C. 1311, bonds are required for such transfers to protect
the revenue. In order to provide proprietors of manufacturing bonded
warehouses with operational flexibility based on individual need, TTB
allows the filing of either a specific bond to cover a single shipment,
using form TTB F 5100.12, or a continuing bond to cover multiple
shipments, using form TTB F 5110.67.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 50.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0061.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Title: Letterhead Applications and Notices Relating to Denatured
Spirits (TTB REC 5150/2).
Abstract: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5214, denatured spirits
(alcohol to which denaturants have been added to render it unfit for
beverage purposes) may be withdrawn from distilled spirits plants free
of tax for nonbeverage industrial purposes in the manufacture of
personal and household products. Since it is possible to recover
potable alcohol from denatured spirits and articles made with denatured
spirits, a comprehensive system of controlling denatured spirits and
articles made with denatured spirits is imposed by the IRC at 26 U.S.C.
5271-5275. In order to protect the revenue and public safety, these IRC
sections and their implementing regulations in 27 CFR part 20 require
an application and permit to withdraw and use specially denatured
spirits, and require formulas, recordkeeping, reporting, and other
operational procedures.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits; Not-for-profit
institutions; State, local or tribal governments.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,890.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0071.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Title: Tobacco Products Importer or Manufacturer--Records of Large
Cigar Wholesale Prices (TTB REC 5230/1).
Abstract: The IRC, at 26 U.S.C. 5701, imposes a federal excise tax
on large cigars based on a percentage of the price for which such
cigars are sold by the manufacturer or importer. Pursuant to the
authority provided by the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5741 to require
recordkeeping, TTB has prescribed by regulation that manufacturers and
importers maintain a list of large cigar sale prices. This provides TTB
a means of verifying that the correct amount of tax was determined and
ultimately paid by the manufacturer or importer of large cigars.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 699.
OMB Control Number: 1513-0127.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Title: Petitions to Establish or Modify American Viticultural
Areas.
Abstract: Under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act at 27 U.S.C.
205(e), TTB regulates the use of applications of origin on wine labels,
including the use of American viticultural area (AVA) names. Based on
petitions submitted by interested parties, TTB establishes new AVAs or
modifies existing AVAs through the rulemaking process. The TTB
regulations in 27 CFR part 9 specify the information that must be
included in such petitions so that TTB is able to evaluate the
petitioner's proposal and determine if it meets TTB's regulatory
requirements for creating a new AVA or amending the name, boundary, or
other terms of an existing AVA.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits; Farms.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,950.
OMB Control Number: 1513-NEW.
Type of Review: New collection (request for a new OMB control
number).
Title: Alternate Method--Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and
Partner Government Agency Message Set for Imports Regulated by the
[[Page 49716]]
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
Abstract: TTB administers several provisions of the U.S. Code that
relate to the importation of alcohol beverages, industrial spirits,
tobacco products, processed tobacco, and cigarette papers and tubes.
The International Trade Data System (ITDS) is an interagency program to
establish a single electronic access point through which importers and
exporters may submit the data required by Federal government agencies
for importation and exportation. The Security and Accountability for
Every Port Act (SAFE Port Act) (Pub. L. 109-347) of 2006 mandated
participation in ITDS for all agencies that require documentation for
clearing or licensing the importation and exportation of cargo.
The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) provides a ``single
window'' that allows importers and exporters to enter one set of data
for each shipment of imported or exported goods. The TTB Partner
Government Agency (PGA) Message Set defines the TTB-specific
information that importers may submit electronically through ACE to
meet TTB requirements.
With regard to imports, TTB intends to issue an alternate method to
allow importers to submit the TTB PGA Message Set electronically, in
lieu of submitting paper documents to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) at importation. This information collection covers the
data that would be submitted electronically through ACE under that
alternate method. Most of the information that the alternate method
will require importers to submit through ACE is already required by
TTB's regulations. However, there are some additional requirements. For
example, importers who are required to have a TTB permit number will
submit their TTB permit number when filing electronically in ACE. In
general, importers of TTB-regulated commodities are required to obtain
a permit from TTB, but they have not previously been required by
regulation to file that number with CBP. The information collected
under this information collection appears in the ``ACE Filing
Instructions for TTB-Regulated Commodities'' available at www.cbp.gov.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 36,838.
