Abstract: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5722, importers of tobacco products and of processed tobacco are required to make reports containing such information, in such form, at such times, and for such periods as the Secretary shall prescribe by regulation. Under this authority, the TTB tobacco import regulations in 27 CFR part 41 require importers of tobacco products and importers of processed tobacco to submit a monthly report on TTB F 5220.6 to account for such products on hand, received, and removed. TTB requires this information to protect the revenue as it assists TTB in ensuring that the appropriate taxes on such products are paid. The required information also allows TTB to determine the amount and disposition of tobacco products and processed tobacco imported into the United States, which assists TTB in preventing diversion of tobacco products and processed tobacco into the illegal market.

Short Statement: Adjustments: Due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is reporting a decrease in the number of annual respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with this information collection resulting from a decrease in the number of tobacco product and processed tobacco importers submitting TTB F 5220.6 forms to TTB. In addition, TTB is adjusting the per-response burden associated with this information collection from 56 minutes to 1 hour to account for the recordkeeping burden associated with the requirement for respondents to keep a duplicate copy of each monthly report submitted to TTB.
