The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5367 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations requiring the keeping of records and the filing of returns related to wine cellar and bottling house operations. Section 5555 of the IRC also requires any person liable for tax under chapter 51 of the IRC to keep records, provide statements, and make returns as the Secretary prescribes by regulation. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB wine regulations in 27 CFR part 24 require wine premises proprietors to file periodic operations reports on form TTB F 5120.17. TTB uses the collected information to verify wine excise tax liabilities, ensure that respondents operate wine premises in accordance with applicable Federal law and regulations, and collect raw data for generalized monthly statistical reports on wine operations published on the TTB website.
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 estimated number of annual respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with this collection, from 12,200 respondents to 17,000, from 52,870 responses to 64,920, and from 58,157 hours to 71,412. The increase in the number of respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with this information collection is due to continued growth in the number of winery premises in the United States, particularly small premises that file operational reports on a quarterly or annual basis. As result, TTB is decreasing the average number of annual responses submitted per respondent, from approximately 4.33 per respondent to 3.8188.
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).
