TTB is making program changes associated with this information collection to implement the bond exemption under the PATH Act. TTB is amending its regulations to reference the bond exemption under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5551(d). As for adjustments, the number of brewers regulated by TTB has increased to 6,298. However, under the new bond exemption, TTB estimates that only 1,341 brewers will be required to file the forms.
