The Department of the Treasury and

Bureau (TTB), as part of their
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invite the
general public and other Federal
agencies to comment on the proposed or
continuing information collections
listed below in this notice, as required
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be included or
summarized in our request for Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval of the relevant information
collection. All comments are part of the
public record and subject to disclosure.
Please not do include any confidential

We invite comments on: (a) Whether
this information collection is necessary
for the proper performance of the
agency’s functions, including whether
the information has practical utility; (b)
the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of
the information collection’s burden; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information collected; (d)
ways to minimize the information

including through the use of automated

estimates of capital or start-up costs and
costs of operation, maintenance, and
purchase of services to provide the
requested information.
Information Collections Open for
Comment
Currently, we are seeking comments
on the following forms and
recordkeeping requirements:
Title: Collection Information
Statement for Individuals, and
Collection Information Statement for
Businesses.
OMB Control Number: 1513–XXXX
(To be assigned).
TTB Form Numbers: 5600.17 and
5600.18, respectively.
Abstract: TTB F 5600.17 is used to
collect financial information from
individuals, and TTB F 5600.18 is used
to collect financial information from
businesses. When an industry member
cannot pay their assessed Federal excise
tax all at one time, they complete the
applicable form(s) to identify their
income, taxes, and other expenses
necessary to run their home and/or
business. TTB uses this information to
determine how much the industry
member can afford to pay over time

until the taxes are paid in full and to set
up an installment agreement.
Current Actions: TTB F 5600.17 and
TTB F 5600.18 are presently issued
under OMB control number 1513–0054.
TTB plans to improve the format of
these forms and make them easier to
follow by allowing more space to enter
responses and grouping like information
together. Also, we plan to add
instructions to clarify when certain
signatures are required and make other
minor revisions. Once the revisions are
complete, we are asking that OMB
approve the revised forms and assign
them a different control number. We
will submit a request to delete these
forms from OMB control number 1513–
0054 to alleviate duplication. We are
submitting this information collection
as a new collection.
Type of Review: New collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households, Business or other for-profit.

20.
Estimated Total Annual Burden

Number: 5520/2.
Abstract: Persons who wish to
establish premises to manufacture
volatile fruit-flavor concentrates are
required to file an application to do so
using TTB F 5520.3. TTB uses the
application information to identify
persons responsible for such
manufacture since these products
contain ethyl alcohol and have potential
for use as alcoholic beverages with
consequent loss of revenue. The
application constitutes registry of a still,
a statutory requirement. The record
retention requirement for this
information collection is 3 years.
Current Actions: We are submitting
this information collection for extension
purposes only. The information
collection, estimated number of
respondents, and estimated total annual
burden hours remain unchanged.

nonbeverage products may receive

Abstract: Manufacturers of volatile
fruit-flavor concentrate must provide
reports as necessary to ensure the

Current Actions: We are amending
this form to provide for quarterly

for quarterly reporting already exists,
