Chapter 52 of the Internal Revenue
Code (26 U.S.C.) requires tobacco products manufacturers, cigarette
papers and tubes manufacturers, and tobacco product export
warehouse proprietors to register for and pay special
(occupational) tax (SOT). TTB F 5630.5t is used for registration
and tax payment for such businesses. With regard to alcohol, in
2005, section 11125 of Public Law 109–59 permanently repealed,
effective July 1, 2008, the SOT on all alcohol dealers required by
Chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.). However, the
registration requirement for such entities remains in force. TTB F
5630.5a is a tax return/registration for persons already in
business who failed to register or pay SOT on or before June 30,
2008, and TTB F 5630.5d is used to register alcohol dealers on and
after July 1, 2008.

The burden for this collection
has decreased due to several factors: 1) TTB F 5630.5a is completed
by persons who are already in business, but have failed to register
or pay the special (occupational) tax (SOT) on or prior to June 30,
2008. The number of respondents has decreased because most are in
compliance. A reduction of 13,950 respondents and 5,813 burden hour
is attributed to this adjustment. 2) TTB F 5630.5d is completed by
new wholesale and retail liquor dealers and by existing wholesale
and retail liquor dealers required to register changes in business
operations. However, businesses that file a registration or
brewer's notice under the qualification provisions of 27 CFR Parts
19, 24, or 25 of the TTB regulations do not have to file TTB F
5630.5d since their registration or notice filed under those
provisions fulfills the SOT registration requirement. A reduction
of 12,000 respondents and 5,000 burden hours is attributed to this
program change. 3) TTB F 5630.5t is completed by tobacco industry
respondents and the number of such respondents engaged in business
has decreased. A reduction of 700 respondents and 292 burden hours
is due to an adjustment. A total of 3,478 burden hours is
requested.
