Abstract: Denatured distilled spirits may be used for industrial purposes in the manufacture of nonbeverage products. To prevent diversion of denatured spirits to taxable beverage use, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5271–5275 imposes a system of permits, bonds, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements on persons that procure or use such alcohol. Those IRC sections also authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations regarding those matters. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 20 require industrial alcohol users to keep certain usual and customary business records regarding the distribution, procurement, and use of denatured spirits. TTB uses the required records to account for denatured spirits and ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.

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 changes in agency estimates, TTB is decreasing the estimated total number of annual respondents from 3,430 to 3,100, evenly divided between private sector respondents (1,550) and State, local, and tribal government respondents (1,550). In turn, this decreases the total number of annual responses to 3,100, also evenly divided between the two types of respondents. TTB also is removing the one hour of annual burden previously reported as a placeholder for this usual and customary business record collection because, under the OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2), there is no burden associated with such collections.
