Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5271 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to prescribe regulations requiring persons using tax-free alcohol for certain nonbeverage purposes (hospitals, laboratories, research centers, etc.) and persons using or dealing in specially denatured spirits (alcohol and/or rum) to apply for and receive a permit to do so prior to commencing business. Under that authority, the TTB regulations prescribe the use of TTB F 5150.22 as the application form for dealers or users of specially denatured spirits (alcohol/rum) (see 27 CFR 20.41) and for users of tax-free alcohol (see 27 CFR 22.41). TTB uses the information reported on the form to, among other things, determine the eligibility of the applicant to engage in certain operations involving specially denatured or tax-free alcohol, the location of the business or entity, and whether the operations will be in conformance with Federal laws and regulations.

Short Statement: There are no program changes associated with this information collection. As for adjustments, due to a change in agency estimates caused by a decrease in the number of respondents submitting an application for an industrial alcohol user permit, TTB is decreasing the number of annual respondents and responses from 575 (505 private sector and 70 government) to 510 (450 private sector and 60 State and local government). This also results in a decrease of the estimated annual burden from 435 hours (383 private sector and 52 government) to 357 hours (315 private section and 42 State and local government).
