TTB regulations require that letterhead applications and notices be

distilled spirits on which drawback will be claimed. TTB uses this
information to ensure that operations are in compliance with the
law, to prevent spirits from being diverted to beverage use, and to
protect the revenue.

As for adjustments, we are
increasing the number of respondents from 510 to 515, an increase
of 5 respondents, due to an increase in the number of manufacturers
of nonbeverage products regulated by TTB. In turn, this results in
an increase in the total number of annual responses from 1,020 to
1,030, an increase of 10 responses, as well as an increase in the
annual burden hours from 510 to 515, an increase of 5 hours.
