Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5704(b) provides that a manufacturer or export warehouse proprietor may, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary, transfer tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, without payment of tax, to the bonded premises of another such entity, or may remove such articles, without payment of tax, for export or consumption beyond the jurisdiction of the internal revenue laws of the United States. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5722 requires that manufacturers of tobacco product and cigarette papers and tubes and export warehouse proprietors make reports as the Secretary may by regulation require. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 44 require manufacturers and export warehouse proprietors to report each such removal to TTB on form TTB F 5200.14, or, under the alternate procedure described in TTB Industry Circular 2004-3, respondents may submit a Monthly Summary Report of such removals provided that the export of each removal is documented by records maintained at the respondent's premises. Respondents also submit letterhead notices to modify certain information on previously-submitted TTB F 5200.1 forms, and they also submit letterhead applications to request TTB authorization to use the alternative Monthly Summary Report procedure. The collected information allows TTB to account for removals of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes made without payment of tax and assists in preventing the diversion of such articles to taxable uses. As such, the collected information is necessary to protect the revenue.

Short Statement: There are no program changes associated with this information collection request at this time. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is decreasing the number of respondents submitting letterhead applications and notices, from 12 to 10, resulting a decrease in the number of responses, from 12 to 10 annually. Also due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the number of respondents filing TTB F 5200.14, from 200 to 210, and the number of responses that each respondent files, from 24 to 100, resulting in an increase in the number of annual responses, from 4,800 to 21,000. The number of respondents, responses, and burden hours for the Monthly Summary Report portion of this request remains the same. Therefore, given the changes in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the overall number of respondents, responses, and burden hours for this information collection request, from 292 respondents to 300, from 5,772 responses to 21,970, and from 11,523 hours to 27,730.
