The TTB regulations require applicants
for alcohol and tobacco permits to provide certain information
regarding the money used to finance the business. The Right to
Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (the Act; 12 U.S.C. 3401 et seq.)
limits government access to records held by financial institutions,
provides for certain procedures to gain access to such information,
and requires that government agencies certify to a financial
institution that the agency has complied with all provisions of the
Act. To comply with the requirements of the Act, TTB F 5030.6 acts
as both a customer authorization to their financial institution
providing TTB with the authority to receive the customer’s
financial information and as the required certification by TTB to
the financial institution that it has complied with the Act’s
provisions.
As an adjustment, we are
revising the burden estimate to reflect a decrease in the number of
respondents who complete TTB F 5030.6 and the resulting burden
hours due to a decrease in the number of permit application
investigations conducted by TTB that require access to records
concerning applicants held by financial institutions.
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.
