The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5214(a)(6) and
5362(c)(4) authorizes the transfer without payment of tax of,
respectively, distilled spirits and wine from a bonded premises to
certain customs bonded warehouses. Under 19 U.S.C. 1311, bonds are
required for such transfers to protect the revenue. In order to
provide proprietors of manufacturing bonded warehouses with
operational flexibility based on individual need, TTB allows the
filing of either a specific bond to cover a single shipment, using
TTB F 5100.12, or a continuing bond to cover multiple shipments,
using TTB F 5110.67.
There are no program changes
associated with this collection. As for adjustments, due to an
increase in the number of distilled spirits and wine industry
members making transfers of non-taxpaid products to manufacturing
bonded warehouses, class six, TTB is increasing the number of
respondents to this collection from 10 to 50 per year, with a
resulting increase in the estimated annual burden hours from 10 to
50 hours.
