Subject to the exemptions under the
IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5551(d) and 5181(c)(3), the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5173
and 5181 requires distilled spirits plants (DSPs) and alcohol fuel
plants (AFPs) to furnish a bond. Form TTB F 5110.56 is used by
proprietors of Distilled Spirits Plants (DSPs) and Alcohol Fuel
Plants (AFPs) to file bond coverage with TTB. Using this form,
these proprietors may file coverage and/or withdraw coverage for
one plant or multiple plants, and proprietors of DSPs also may
provide operations coverage for adjacent wine cellars. The bond may
be secured through a surety company or it may be secured with
collateral (cash or Treasury Bonds or Treasury Notes). The bond
protects the revenue by ensuring adequate assets are available to
pay Federal excise tax liabilities.
