The Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 205(e) authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations regarding the labeling of wine, distilled spirits, and malt beverages in order to, among other things, prohibit consumer deception and ensure that labels provide consumers with adequate information as to the identity and quality of such products. Under this authority, the TTB regulations allow for the voluntary labeling of major food allergens (as defined in the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (118 Stat. 905)) used in the production of alcohol beverages. The regulations require that, if any one major food allergen is voluntarily declared, all major food allergens used in the product must be declared, except when TTB has approved a petition for exemption from such labeling. This information collection includes the labeling of allergens and petitions for exemption.

There are no program changes associated with this collection. As for adjustments, in the past TTB has reported the two elements of this information collection request–labeling of major allergens and petitions for exemption—as one information collection. However, as a matter of agency discretion, TTB is now reporting these two elements as separate information collections under this information collection request. TTB believes this is necessary to properly account for the differing data collected by each collection and the significantly differing number of respondents, responses, and costs associated with each of these information collections. In addition, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the number of respondents and responses to the labeling of major food allergen information collection, from 500 to 640, which results in an increase of 97 hours in annual burden, from 330 to 427 hours. These increases are due to the increase in the number of alcohol beverage producers making disclosures of major food allergens on alcohol beverage labels. However, TTB is decreasing the estimated number of respondents and responses to the petition for exemption information collection, from 20 to 5 annual responses, which results in a decrease of 300 hours in annual burden for this information collection. To date, TTB has received no petitions for exemption, and, as such, TTB believes it has over-estimated the number of such petitions that it may receive during a given year. Therefore, the overall estimated burden for this information collection has decreased from 730 hours to 527 hours, a decrease of 203 hours.
