Brewers periodically file these
reports of their operations to account for activity relating to
taxable commodities. TTB uses this information primarily for
revenue protection, for audit purposes, and to determine whether
the activity is in compliance with the requirements of law. We also
use this information to publish periodical statistical releases of
use and interest to the industry.
As a result of what we are
proposing in the NPRM, we estimate that fewer respondents will
continue to use TTB F 5130.9 to report operations on a monthly
basis and that more respondents will now use TTB F 5130.26 to
report operations on a quarterly basis.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
