Abstract: The Federal Government’s Pay.gov system allows businesses and members of the public to electronically pay certain taxes and fees, file tax returns, and submit various reports and requests. The TTB portion of the Pay.gov system provides alcohol and tobacco businesses with a means to pay excise taxes, file tax returns, and submit certain operations and production reports via the internet rather than submitting paper checks and documents by postal mail or delivery service. To request access to TTB's portion of the Pay.gov system, respondents complete form TTB F 5000.31, Pay.gov User Agreement. TTB uses the provided information to identify the respondent, verify their authority to act for the business in question, confirm their agreement to the Pay.gov system’s terms and conditions of use, and register the respondent as a user of the system. TTB's registration of Pay.gov users is necessary to prevent misuse of that electronic system.

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 respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with this information collection. Specifically, TTB is increasing the number of annual respondents and responses from 950 to 2,000 each, and the estimated total annual burden from 79 to 500 hours. The increase in burden hours results from the increase in the number of responses, as well as from an increase in the per-response burden, from 5 to 15 minutes. TTB believes the 5 minutes per-response burden previously reported for this collection resulted from a typographic error on TTB F 5000.31.
