Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5041 imposes a per gallon Federal excise tax of varying rates on six classes of wine—three classes of still wines (based on alcohol content), two classes of effervescent wines, and one class of hard cider. Under the authority of the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5368, 5388, and 5662, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR Part 24, Wine, require wine premises proprietors to correctly identify wines kept on or removed from their premises by placing certain marks, labels, or other information on all production, storage, and consumer containers of wine. Because of the varying excise tax rates on wines, and because different tax classes of wine may be produced at the same premises, the required information is necessary to protect the revenue as it ensures that wines are correctly identified for excise tax purposes. However, the placement of identifying information on wine containers is a usual and customary business practice carried out by wine premises proprietors, regardless of any regulatory requirement to do so, in order to track their wine production and inventory and inform the public of the content of their products.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: 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 10,970 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 increase in the burden hours associated with this collection since it consists of usual and customary marks, labels, and other information placed on wine containers by wine premises proprietors during the normal course of business, which, under the OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2), places no annual burden on respondents. For the same reason, TTB is removing the one hour of annual burden previously reported for this information collection as a placeholder.
