Airlines may withdraw, without payment
of tax, distilled spirits and wine from their stocks held in
customs custody at airports for use as supplies on aircraft engaged
in foreign flights. Accounting for withdrawals of such products is
necessary to protect the revenue by detecting and preventing
diversion of the products into the domestic market. The required
record shows, among other things, the amount of spirits and wine
withdrawn, flight identification, and Customs
certification.

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 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);
