Abstract: To provide consumers with adequate information as to the identity of alcohol beverage products and to prevent consumer deception and unfair advertising practices, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act at 27 U.S.C. 205(e) requires that alcohol beverages sold or introduced into interstate or foreign commerce be labeled in conformity with regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Further, the producer, bottler, or importer of alcohol beverages must receive approval of the label for such products from TTB prior to their introduction into commerce. TTB F 5100.31 is a dual-use form; industry members use it to request and to obtain the required label approval. The form serves as both an application for and, if approved by TTB, a certificate of label approval (or exemption from a certificate of label approval).

Short Statement: On the TTB F 5100.31 form, TTB is making additions and clarifications to the list of allowable label revisions that do not require a respondent to submit a new COLA application, which are listed in Part V of the form. TTB is making these changes on its own accord and in response to a comment received on TTB F 5100.31. In the future, these additions to the list of allowable changes will lower the number of required responses to this information collection. Currently, due to continued growth in the alcohol beverage industry, TTB is updating the number of respondents, responses, and the total annual burden hours to reflect an increase in the number of respondents.
