Volatile fruit-flavor concentrates
contain alcohol when made from the mash or juice of a fruit by an
evaporative process. Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26
U.S.C. 5511, alcohol excise taxes and most other provisions of
chapter 51 of the IRC do not apply to such concentrates if their
manufacturers file applications, keep records, and meet certain
other requirements prescribed by regulation. Under that IRC
authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)
regulations in 27 CFR part 18 require volatile fruit-flavor
concentrate manufacturers to register using form TTB F 5520.3, file
amendments to their registrations using that form or a letterhead
application (depending on circumstances), and maintain a record
file of all approved registrations and related supporting
documents. TTB uses the collected information to identify
concentrate manufacturers and their operations to ensure that the
tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
