Records of Things of Value to
Retailers, and Occasional Letter Reports from Industry Members
Regarding Information on Sponsorships, Advertisements, Promotions,
etc., under the FAA Act (TTB REC 5190/1)
These records and occasional letter
reports are used to show compliance with the trade practices
provisions of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act at 27 U.S.C.
205(b), which prevent alcohol beverage wholesalers, producers, or
importers from giving things of value to retail liquor dealers, and
which prohibit industry members from conducting certain types of
sponsorships, advertisements, promotions, etc., unless the practice
is specifically exempted by regulation.
Program changes at agency
discretion: TTB is adjusting the reporting of the two information
collections contained in this information collection approval
request. Rather than the previously reported two combined reporting
and recordkeeping information collections, one for private sector
businesses and one for individuals or households, TTB is reporting
one recordkeeping information collection for private sector
businesses (see 27 CFR 6.81(b)) and one reporting requirement for
such businesses (see 27 CFR 6.6(c), 8.6(c), and 10.6(c)). Things of
value provided to retailers by alcohol beverage industry members
are provided on a business-to-business basis and do not involve
individuals or households as such. TTB believes this change more
accurately reflects the regulatory requirements of, and the
respondents to, this information collection. As for adjustments,
due to growth in the total number of alcohol beverage producers,
importers, and wholesalers regulated by TTB, and the resulting
growth in the number of such industry members who furnish things of
value to retailers, TTB is increasing the number of potential
respondents to the recordkeeping portion of this information
collection from 12,665 to 25,000. However, because this information
collection consists of usual and customary records kept during the
normal course of business, such as invoices and billing records,
TTB is decreasing the overall estimated annual burden hours for the
recordkeeping portion of this information collection from 2,112
hours to 1 hour. The reporting portion of this information
collection consists of 10 respondents, with each response taking 2
hours to compile, for a total estimated annual burden of 20
hours.
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.
