Abstract: TTB believes that unregulated transfers or sales of processed tobacco to persons who do not hold TTB permits could lead to processed tobacco falling into the hands of persons who would be unknown and unaccountable to TTB, including illegal manufacturers. In order to better regulate processed tobacco and prevent diversion, TTB requires the filing of a report covering all such transfers or sales. This report is used to protect the revenue.

Emergency Justfication: On February 4, 2009, President Obama signed into law the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-3, 123 Stat. 8 (“the Act”). Section 702 of the Act included amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC) to extend permit, inventory, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements to include processed tobacco, even though such processed tobacco is not subject to excise tax under the IRC. We are requesting an emergency approval of this ICR to adhere to the change in the law. ICRs are being amended or created to reflect the new requirements related to permits, inventory, reporting, and recordkeeping associated with processed tobacco. TTB plans to issue regulation amendments to implement the changes as soon as possible. Corresponding changes will be made throughout the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau website as appropriate. Thank you for your assistance.
