Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC)
at 26 U.S.C. 5178(a), a distilled spirits plant (DSP) is a
delineated place on which only certain authorized activities may be
conducted. However, under section 5178(b), the Secretary of the
Treasury (the Secretary) may authorize other businesses on a DSP’s
premises upon application under certain circumstances. Also, under
the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5221, DSP proprietors are required give
written notification, in the form and manner prescribed by
regulation, when they begin, suspend, or resume production of
spirits. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5555 requires those
liable for any tax imposed by chapter 51 of the IRC to keep such
records, submit such returns and statements, and comply with such
rules and regulations as the Secretary may prescribe. Under these
authorities, TTB has issued regulations in 27 CFR part 19 requiring
DSP proprietors to provide written notification regarding
alternations of DSPs between proprietors or for customs purposes,
and regarding changes to the production status of spirits. TTB also
has issued regulations requiring DSP proprietors to keep
alternating premises records when alternating operations at DSPs,
including with an adjacent bonded wine cellar, taxpaid wine
bottling house or brewery, as a manufacturer of eligible flavors,
or as general premises.
