Abstract: In general, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5401(b) requires brewers to execute a bond before starting business, subject to regulations issued by the Secretary and the exemptions for certain small brewers that are eligible to pay excise taxes on an annual or quarterly basis as provided under 26 U.S.C. 5551(d). Also under that section, brewers’ bonds expire every four years, and a brewer must provide a new bond or a continuation certificate extending the terms of an existing bond. Additionally, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7101 and subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary, a brewer may furnish a surety bond under which a surety company guarantees payment of the proprietor’s unpaid tax liabilities, or a brewer may submit a collateral bond backed by United States Treasury securities or notes. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 25 require brewers to file a surety bond using TTB F 5130.22, Brewer’s Bond, or a collateral bond backed by U.S. Treasury securities, notes, or cash using TTB F 5130.25, Brewer’s Collateral Bond. To continue an existing bond, a brewer may furnish a surety bond continuation certificate using TTB F 5130.23 or a collateral bond continuation certificate using TTB F 5130.27, as appropriate. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as the required bonds ensure payment of any delinquent excise tax liabilities.

Short Statement: There are no program changes associated with this information collection at this time. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is decreasing the estimated number of respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with this information collection, from 652 annual respondents and responses to 224, and from 422 hours to 189. TTB attributes those decreases to the number of new and existing small brewers that are now exempt from the requirement to furnish or renew a brewer’s bond, as provided in 26 U.S.C. 5551(d).
