The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5173 and 5181 requires distilled spirits plants (DSPs) and alcohol fuel plants (AFPs), respectively, to furnish a bond unless exempted from doing so under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5551(d) or 5181(c)(3). Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require proprietors of such plants that are required to submit a bond to use TTB F 5110.56, Distilled Spirits Bond, to file with TTB either a surety bond or a collateral bond using cash or U.S. securities. Using that same form, proprietors also may withdraw coverage for one or more plants, and DSP proprietors may provide operations coverage for adjacent wine cellars. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as the required bonds ensure payment of any delinquent Federal alcohol excise tax liabilities.
There are no program changes associated with this information collection. As for adjustments, due to a change in agency estimates resulting from continued growth in the number of DSPs in the United States, particularly small âcraftâ distilled spirits producers, TTB is increasing the estimated number of annual respondents, total responses, and burden hours associated with this information collection, from 310 to 400 respondents, 310 responses to 400, and 310 total burden hours to 400. The number of annual responses per respondent, one, and the per-response burden, one hour, remain unchanged.
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;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
