OMB Number: 1513–0058.
Recordkeeping Requirement Number:
5130/1.
Abstract: TTB audits brewers’ records
to verify production of beer and cereal
beverages, and to verify the quantity of
beer removed subject to tax and
removed without payment of tax.
Current Actions: This information
collection is being submitted as a
revision. There is an increase to the
number of respondents; however, there
is no change to the burden. Since these
are usual and customary records that the
tobacco manufacturer would keep in the
normal course of doing business, the
burden remains at one (1).
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,640.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: One (1).
Title: Recordkeeping for Tobacco
Products Removed in Bond from
Manufacturers’ Premises for
Experimental Purposes—27 CFR
40.232(d).
OMB Number: 1513–0110.
Recordkeeping Requirement Number:
None.
Abstract: The prescribed records
apply to manufacturers who ship
tobacco products in bond for
experimental purposes. TTB can
examine these records to determine that
the proprietor has complied with law
and regulations that allow such tobacco
products to be shipped in bond for
experimental purposes without payment
of the excise tax.
Current Actions: This information
collection is being submitted as a
revision. There is an increase to the
number of respondents; however, there
is no change to the burden. These are
usual and customary records that the
tobacco manufacturer would keep in the
normal course of doing business;
therefore, the burden remains at one (1).
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Individuals or households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
170.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: One (1).

OMB Number(s): To be assigned.
TTB Form Numbers: TTB I 5600.33;
TTB I 5600.34; TTB I 5600.35; TTB I
5600.36, and TTB I 5600.37,
respectively.
Abstract: 27 CFR part 53 requires that,
in some cases, persons who sell firearms
or ammunition tax-free use specific
exemption certificates or statements to
support the tax-free sales. In addition,
27 CFR part 53 requires a specific
statement from the ultimate vendor to
support claims for certain tax refunds or
credits. Although the regulations require
firearms and ammunition excise
taxpayers to design and reproduce these
certificates or statements as specified in
the regulations, in order to promote
uniformity among excise taxpayers and
compliance with regulations, these
certificates and statements are needed.
Current Actions: We are changing this
information collection. First, we are
changing the ‘‘I’’ in the form number to
an ‘‘F.’’ Secondly, because some of the
forms have the same name, we are
changing the names of four of the forms
to: Exemption Certificate (Use on
Certain Vessels or Aircraft), TTB F
5600.34; Exemption Certificate (Use by
State or Local Governments), TTB F
5600.35; Statement of Manufacturer’s
Vendee (For Exports), TTB F 5600.36;
and Statement of Manufacturer’s
Vendee (Use in Further Manufacture),
TTB F 5600.37. TTB F 5600.33 will
remain the same, ‘‘Statement of
Ultimate Vendor.’’ Thirdly, we added a
Paperwork Reduction Act Notice to each
of the forms. Finally, the regulations
require the information collected in
these forms to be collected and retained,
but not in any particular format. The
regulations offer these forms as merely
a uniform way of collecting the required
information. Therefore, we are seeking
approval of these forms; but more
importantly, we are seeking approval of
the information collection requirements
found in the regulatory sections listed
above.
Type of Review: Existing collection in
use without an OMB control number.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; individuals or households; State
or Local Governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
7,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 52,500.
Dated: September 5, 2007.

Director, Regulations and Rulings Division.
