Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC)
at 26 U.S.C. 5061(a) and 5703(b), the Federal alcohol and tobacco
excise taxes imposed by the IRC are collected on the basis of a
return, submitted and containing such information as the Secretary
of the Treasury requires by regulation. Under those IRC
authorities, the TTB regulations require such excise taxpayers,
other than those in Puerto Rico, report their alcohol or tobacco
excise tax liability using TTB F 5000.24, Excise Tax Return.
Tobacco taxpayers and large alcohol producers file their returns
and pay their excise taxes on a semi-monthly basis, while certain
small alcohol producers file returns and pay taxes on a quarterly
or annual basis, depending on certain circumstances. The collected
information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to
establish a taxpayer's identity, the amount and type of taxes due,
and the amount of payments made.
There are no program changes
associated with this information collection at this time. As for
adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is increasing
the estimated number of annual respondents, responses, and burden
hours associated with this collection, from 18,749 respondents to
18,840, from 114,517 responses to 116,750, and from 85,888 hours to
87,536. The increase in the number of respondents to this
information collection is largely due to continued growth in the
number of small “craft” alcohol beverage producers in the United
States.
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.
