Abstract: As authorized by 26 U.S.C. 5722, export warehouse proprietors use TTB F 5220.4 to account for receipt, storage, and disposition of processed tobacco and taxable tobacco products, cigarette papers, and cigarette tubes. TTB uses this information to protect the revenue by detecting and preventing diversion of products intended for export and to ensure compliance with Federal laws and regulations relating to the removal of tobacco products, cigarette papers, and cigarette tubes for export, which is tax-exempt.

Short Statement: TTB is increasing the number of respondents to this collection from 80 to 82, which is the number of export warehouse proprietors who currently hold permits from TTB and are thus required to file this form. In addition, TTB has reevaluated the time required to complete TTB F 5220.4, and we are lowering the estimated time to complete each response from 2 hours to 1 hour. We are making this adjustment because we believe that export warehouse proprietors have now fully integrated accounting for processed tobacco into their operations (required since 2009). In addition, we believe most proprietors use modern electronic recordkeeping systems, which allow them to readily compile the required information from usual and customary records kept during the normal course of business, such as receipt and shipping records and inventories.
