Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5061 and 5703, the Federal alcohol and tobacco excise taxes imposed by chapters 51 and 52 of the IRC are collected on the basis of a return, containing such information and submitted as the Secretary of the Treasury requires by regulation. Under those IRC sections, respondents file such returns on a semi-monthly basis, except for certain small alcohol excise taxpayers that may pay on a quarterly or annual basis depending on certain circumstances. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR chapter I require alcohol and tobacco excise taxpayers, other than those in Puerto Rico, to report their tax liability using TTB F 5000.24, Excise Tax Return. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to establish a taxpayer's identity, the amount and type of excise taxes due, and the amount of payments made.
There are no program changes associated with this information collection at this time. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the number of estimated annual respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with this information collection. Specifically, TTB is increasing this collectionâs number of annual respondents from 18,840 to 20,400, its number of annual responses from 116,750 to 126,480, and its number of annual burden hours from 87,536 to 94,860. The increase in the number of estimated respondents and the resulting increase in annual responses and burden hours for this information collection is largely due to continued growth in the number of small alcohol beverage producers in the United States.
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.
