The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26
U.S.C. 5701, imposes a Federal excise tax on large cigars based on
a percentage of the price for which such cigars are sold by the
manufacturer or importer. Pursuant to the authority provided by the
IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5741 to require recordkeeping, TTB has prescribed
by regulation that manufacturers and importers maintain a list of
large cigar sale prices. This provides TTB a means of verifying
that the correct amount of tax was determined and ultimately paid
by the manufacturer or importer of large cigars.

As adjustments, TTB is
reporting a decrease in the number of annual respondents,
responses, and annual burden hours due to a decrease in the number
of regulated industry members manufacturing or importing large
cigars. The number of respondents and responses has decreased from
818 to 300, and the estimated annual burden hours have decreased
from 1,906 to 699.
