Abstract: Section 103 of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act, 27 U.S.C. 203) requires that a person must apply to the Secretary of the Treasury for a "basic permit" before beginning business as: (1) an importer into the United States of distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages, (2) a producer of distilled spirits or wine, or (3) a wholesaler of distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages. In addition, section 104 of the FAA Act (27 U.S.C. 204(c)) prescribes who is entitled to a basic permit, and it authorizes the Secretary to prescribe the manner and form of, and the information required in, basic permit applications. Under these authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 1, subpart C, require that new applications for FAA Act basic permits must be made on form TTB F 5100.24. This application enables TTB to determine the location of the proposed business, the extent of its operations, and if the applicant is qualified under the FAA Act to receive a basic permit.

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: Program changes: TTB notes that on previous editions of TTB F 5100.25, Item 8 required applicants to list the sole owner or, as appropriate, the partners, LLC members/managers, or corporate officers, directors, and shareholders with more than 10 percent voting stock involved in the applicant business. Item 9 then required applicants to provide for each person listed in Item 8, their full name, date and place of birth, social security or employer identification number, U.S. citizenship (yes or no), gender, other names used (maiden name, nick names, etc.), and residences during the past five years. As a matter of agency discretion, TTB is now eliminating the Item 9 data fields on TTB F 5100.24 regarding U.S. citizenship and residences during the past five years. TTB has concluded that it no longer needs such information to identify persons involved in the applicant business or to make determinations regarding their eligibility to receive a basic permit. As a result of eliminating those two Item 9 data fields, TTB is decreasing the estimated time to complete TTB F 5100.24 by 15 minutes, from 1.75 hours to 1.5 hours, resulting in an estimated burden decrease of 375 hours for this information collection. (TTB is not adjusting the estimated time to complete an electronic FAA Act basic permit application in PONL since such the ownership information section in PONL is accounted for under the clearance for 1513–0002, Personnel Questionnaire. TTB will adjust the burden estimate for 1513–0002 in the near future.) Adjustments: While the program change noted above results in an estimated burden decrease of 375 hours for this information collection, TTB is increasing the overall total number of annual respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with it due to changes in agency estimates. These increases are the result of continued growth in the number of alcohol beverage industry members who require FAA Act basic permits to legally operate, which has increased the number of such applications submitted annually to TTB. TTB also is providing a respondent cost burden estimate for this information collection.
