Denatured distilled spirits, which
generally are not subject to Federal excise tax, may be used for
industrial purposes in the manufacture of nonbeverage products. To
prevent diversion of denatured spirits to taxable beverage use, the
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5271–5275 imposes a system
of permits, bonds, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements on
persons that procure or use such alcohol. Those IRC sections also
authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations
regarding those matters. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol
and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part
20 require industrial alcohol users to keep certain usual and
customary business records regarding the distribution, procurement,
and use of denatured spirits. TTB uses the required records to
account for denatured spirits and ensure compliance with statutory
and regulatory requirements.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
