(a standard American gallon) and dividing by 100.

Title in connection with applicant's business;
Social security number;
Date of birth;
Place of birth; and
Address of residence.

b. A statement as to whether the applicant or any person required to be
listed by the instructions above has been previously arrested or charged
with, or convicted of, a felony or misdemeanor under Federal or State
laws (other than minor traffic violations).

Example:
50 gallons of 190° proof spirits =
190 times 50 divided by 100 = 95 proof gallons

c. A statement of the maximum quantity of distilled spirits to be produced
and received during a calendar year.

terms and conditions of an existing permit. Fill in only those sections
