The Federal Alcohol Administration Act
(FAA Act), at 27 U.S.C. 203, requires that a person apply for and
receive a permit, known as a “basic permit,” to: (1) Import
distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages into the United States;
(2) distill spirits or produce wine, rectify or blend distilled
spirits or wine, or bottle and/or warehouse distilled spirits; or
(3) purchase distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages for resale
at wholesale. The FAA Act, at 27 U.S.C. 204, also imposes certain
requirements for basic permits and authorizes the Secretary of the
Treasury (the Secretary) to prescribe the manner and form of all
applications for basic permits. The TTB regulations in 27 CFR part
1 provide for the amendment of a basic permit using form TTB F
5100.18 when changes occur to the name, trade name, address,
ownership, management, or control of the business. The collected
information allows TTB to determine if applicants for amended basic
permits meet the FAA Act’s statutory eligibility criteria to hold a
basic permit.
There are no program changes
associated with this collection, and TTB is submitting it for OMB
approval only for extension purposes. As for adjustments, due to
changes in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the number of annual
respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with this
collection. These increases are due to growth in the number of
alcohol beverage businesses regulated by TTB under the FAA Act,
which results in an increase in the number of basic permit holders
and a corresponding increase in the number of respondents
submitting applications for amended basic permits. Specifically,
TTB is increasing the number of annual respondents and responses
from 3,040 to 8,550 each, which results in an increase in the
estimated total annual burden, from 1,170 to 3,278 hours. TTB notes
that with the increased use of PONL by respondents, from 69 percent
in 2017 to 75 percent currently, the average per-response time for
this collection has dropped from 23.09 minutes to 22.5
minutes.
