Under the authority of the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5362, 5367, 5369, 5370, and 5555,
the TTB regulations require wineries, taxpaid wine bottling houses,
and vinegar plants to keep certain usual and customary business
records. These records include purchase and sales invoices, and
internal records related to their production and processing of
wine, and their packaging, storage, and shipping operations. TTB
routinely inspects these records to verify proper payment of
Federal wine excise taxes, and to ensure that proprietors produce,
package, store, ship, and transfer wine in compliance with the
applicable Federal statutory and regulatory requirements.
There are no program changes
associated with this information collection, and TTB is submitting
it for extension purposes only. As for adjustments, due to a change
in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the number of respondents to
this information collection requirement from 12,450 to 14,340. This
increase is the result of continued growth in the number of
regulated wine industry members in the United States. However,
there is no corresponding increase in the burden hours associated
with this information collection since it consists of usual and
customary records kept during the normal course of business, which,
under the OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2), places no annual
burden on respondents. In addition, for the same reason, TTB is
removing the one hour of annual burden previously reported for this
information collection as a placeholder.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
