Abstract: The Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-3), enacted February 4, 2009, imposed a floor stocks tax on tobacco products (except large cigars) and cigarette papers and tubes held for sale on April 1, 2009. Persons holding taxable articles on that date must take an inventory and file a return and pay any tax due. TTB will submit implementing regulations under separate cover.

Emergency Justfication: The Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-3, “the Act”), was signed into law on February 4, 2009. The Act increases the Federal excise tax on all tobacco products and cigarette papers and cigarette tubes, effective April 1, 2009. In addition, the Act imposes a floor stocks tax on all tobacco products (except large cigars), cigarette papers, and cigarette tubes held for sale on April 1, 2009. Affected parties must take an inventory of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes to determine the quantity held for sale on April 1, 2009. They must then complete and submit a Floor Stocks Tax Return and pay any tax due by July 31, 2009. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) must print and mail these forms to inform potential taxpayers of the floor stocks tax inventory requirement and provide the necessary forms and instructions before the start of the inventory period, which runs from March 26 to April 10, 2009. We request emergency approval of the paperwork by March 13, 2009. TTB will issue regulations to implement the 2009 floor stocks tax on tobacco products, and cigarette papers and tubes as soon as possible. We will request OMB approval of the regulations under separate cover.
