TTB requires a corporate surety bond or a collateral bond to ensure payment of the excise tax on tobacco products (TP) and cigarette paper and tubes (CP&T) removed from the factory or warehouse. These TTB forms identify the agreement to pay and the person from which TTB will attempt to collect any unpaid excise tax. Manufactures of TP or CP&T, export warehouse proprietors, and corporate sureties, if applicable, are the respondents for these forms.

We are amending 1513-0103 to add TTB F 5200.29 to this collection. TTB F 5200.29 is a combination of the 2 existing forms (TTB F 5200.25 and TTB F 5200.26). Until the regulations can be amended to replace the existing forms with TTB F 5200.29, this form can be completed on a voluntary bases. The goal is to discontinue the 2 existing form and replace them with TTB F 5200.29.
There is an adjustment in the number of respondents for TTB F 5200.25 & 5200.26 due to an increase in annual submissions. This increase is off-set by the predicted use of the new consolidated TTB F 5200.29 and is reflected as a program change due to agency discretion. Total burden requested is 111 hours.
