The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26
U.S.C. 5001 sets forth, in general, the Federal excise tax rates
for distilled spirits produced in or imported into the United
States. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5207 also requires distilled spirit
plant (DSP) proprietors to maintain records of production, storage,
denaturation, and processing activities and to render reports
covering those operations, as the Secretary of Treasury prescribes
by regulation. The TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require DSP
proprietors to keep records regarding the materials used to produce
distilled spirits, the amount of spirits produced, the withdrawal
of spirits from the production account, and the production of
spirits byproducts, which must be maintained for at least 3 years.
Based on those records, the part 19 regulations also require DSP
proprietors to submit monthly reports of production operations
using TTB F 5110.40. This collection is necessary to protect the
revenue as TTB uses the collected information to account for the
amount of distilled spirits produced at a DSP, and to determine the
proprietor's resulting excise tax liability and the amount of bond
coverage needed, if such coverage is required.

There are no program changes
associated with this information collection. As for adjustments,
due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the annual
estimated burden associated with this information collection, from
1,600 respondents, 19,200 responses, and 38,400 burden hours, to
2,500 respondents, 30,000 responses, and 60,000 burden hours. The
increase in respondents, and the related increases in annual
responses and burden hours, is due to continued growth in the
number of active distilled spirits plants in the United States,
particularly in the number of small “craft” spirits producers.
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;
