A Change of Bond (Consent of Surety),
TTB F 5000.18, is executed by both the bonding company and a
proprietor and acts as a binding legal agreement between the two
parties to extend the terms of a bond. A bond is necessary to cover
specific liabilities on the revenue produced from untaxpaid
commodities. TB F 5000.18 is filed with TTB and a copy is retained
by TTB as long as it remains current and in force.
The intent of this revision is
to incorporate prescribing regulations published final on February
16, 2011, at 76 FR 9080, which renumbered sections under 27 CFR
Part 19; but are also addressing at this time the OMB terms of
clearance in which TTB is to account for the shift in burden
associated with the Permits ON-Line (PONL) electronic submission
option. The burden was identified in the supporting statement but
was not carried-over into the burden table. An increase of 1,533
hours is attributed to a program change; for a total of 3,533
burden hours requested.
