Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 5722 requires that every manufacturer of tobacco products, cigarette papers and tubes, or processed tobacco make reports containing such information, in such form, at such times, and for such periods as the Secretary of the Treasury shall by regulation prescribe. The TTB regulations at 27 CFR 40.202, 40.422, and 40.522 prescribe, as appropriate, the use of TTB F 5210.5 to report tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes manufactured, received, and removed per month, and the use of TTB F 5250.1 to report all processed tobacco manufactured, received, and removed per month. TTB uses the collected information to ensure that Federal excise taxes have been properly paid and that manufacturers are in compliance with applicable Federal law and regulations.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There are no program changes associated with this information collection request. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is decreasing the number of annual respondents, responses, and burden hours, and costs associated with this information collection request. Regarding TTB F 5210.5, Report—Manufacturer of Tobacco Products or Cigarette Papers and Tubes, TTB is decreasing the number of annual respondents from 250 to 205, resulting in a decrease in the number of annual responses and burden hours from 3,000 to 2,460. This change in agency estimate is due to a decrease in the number of such manufacturers regulated by TTB. Regarding TTB F 5250.1, Report—Manufacturer of Processed Tobacco, TTB is decreasing the number of annual respondents from 250 to 30, resulting in a decrease in the number of annual responses and burden hours from 3,000 to 360. This processed tobacco information collection is a recent addition to TTB’s inventory, and when first calculating the new collection’s burden, TTB had assumed that all tobacco product manufacturers would also manufacture processed tobacco. However, TTB is now able to accurately report that it regulates only 30 manufacturers of processed tobacco, which results in this change in agency estimate. As a result of these decreases in the number of respondents, responses, and burden hours, TTB is also reporting decreases in the estimated costs to respondents and the Federal Government associated with this information collection request, from $44,970 to $22,560 in respondent costs, and from $104,000 to $51,325 in Government costs.
