The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26
U.S.C. 5114, 5173, 5272, 5354, 5401, and 5711, requires certain
alcohol and tobacco industry proprietors to post a collateral or
surety bond in conformity with regulations issued by the Secretary
of the Treasury to ensure payment of Federal taxes due on alcohol
or tobacco products should a proprietor default. When circumstances
of an industry member's operation change from those described in an
existing surety bond agreement, the TTB regulations authorized
under those IRC sections allow the proprietor to complete form TTB
F 5000.18, Change in Bond (Consent of Surety), in lieu of obtaining
a new bond. Once executed by the proprietor and the surety company,
the proprietor files the form with TTB, which retains it as long as
the revised bond agreement remains in force.
