Abstract: To comply with provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332), the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1341(a)), and their implementing regulations as found, respectively, in 40 CFR 1500.6 and 40.123.3, TTB collects environmental and water quality information from new and certain amended alcohol and tobacco permit applicants. TTB uses the environmental information supplied on TTB F 5000.29 by an applicant regarding solid and liquid waste, air and noise pollution, and the like to determine if their activities will have a significant effect on the environment and to determine if a formal environmental impact statement or an environmental permit is necessary for the proposed activities. TTB uses the supplemental water quality information supplied on TTB F 5000.30 by an applicant regarding discharges of effluent into navigable waters to determine if a certification or waiver by the applicable State water quality agency is required under the Clean Water Act.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There are no program changes associated with this information collection. As for adjustments, due to a change in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the estimated number of annual responses, respondents, and burden hours associated with this information collection. These increases result from continued growth in the number of new TTB alcohol industry permit applicants. The amount of this increase is mitigated somewhat by the increasing use of the electronic Permits Online (PONL) system by applicants in lieu of the paper forms, which has decreased the average per-response time burden associated with this information collection by a few minutes.
