A. JUSTIFICATION.
1. What are the circumstances that make this collection of information necessary and what legal or administrative requirements necessitate the collection?
TTB F 5120.20 supports the exporter’s claim for drawback. This allows the exporter to receive a refund of taxes paid for product that is to be exported. These claims are provided for in 26 U.S.C. 5062 and use of the form is prescribed in 27 CFR 28.215.
2. How, by whom and for what purpose is this information used?
The information collected on TTB F 5120.20 is used by TTB to verify that wine was produced in the U.S. and was taxpaid on withdrawal from bond.
3. To what extent does this collection of information involve the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology? What consideration is given to use information technology to reduce burden?
TTB F 5120.20 is available on the TTB website. However, at this time the form cannot be submitted electronically.
4. What efforts are used to identify duplication? Why can’t any similar information
already available be used or modified for use for the purposes described in Item 2 above?
We terminated the Federal Information Locator System (FILS) Program for agency use. However, we search an agency subject classification system to identify duplication. Similar information is not available elsewhere for this information collection requirement.
5. If this collection of information impacts small businesses or other small entities,
what methods are used to minimize burden?
This collection of information is not susceptible to reduced requirements for small
business.
6. What consequences to Federal program or policy activities and what, if any, technical or legal obstacles to reducing burden will occur if this collection is not conducted or is conducted less frequently?
Without this form, TTB would not be able to allow drawbacks of internal revenue taxes. Respondents complete this form only as often as necessary to comply with the statute.
7. Are there any special circumstances associated with this information collection?
There are no special circumstances associated with this information collection.
8. What effort was made to notify the general public about this collection of information?

No payment or gift is associated with this information collection.
10. What assurance of confidentiality was provided to respondents and what was the basis for the assurance in statute, regulations, or agency policy?
No specific assurance of confidentiality is provided on this form; however, the confidentiality of the information collected on this form is protected by 26 U.S.C. 6l03 and 5 U.S.C. 552.
11. What justification is there for questions of a sensitive nature?
We ask no questions of a sensitive nature.
12. What is the estimated hour burden of this collection of information?
There is no change in burden from the previous submission.
