Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC)
at 26 U.S.C. 7652, beverage distilled spirits, as well as
nonbeverage products containing spirits subject to tax, produced in
Puerto Rico and brought into the United States are subject to a tax
equal to that imposed by the IRC on domestically produced spirits.
That section also authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury (the
Secretary) to prescribe regulations regarding the mode and time for
the collection of such taxes. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C.
7101 and 7102 authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations
regarding bonds required under the IRC or its related regulations.
Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 26
allow respondents who ship taxable distilled spirits products
produced in Puerto Rico to the United States to either pay the
required tax prior to shipment or to file a bond to defer payment
of the tax due until the submission of the respondent’s next excise
tax return. The regulations require respondents who elect to defer
tax payment on such shipments to file a bond on TTB F 5110.50 to
guarantee payment of the taxes due in case of default. As such, the
required information is necessary to protect the revenue.
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
