Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5005(c), when a proprietor of a distilled spirits plant (DSP) or an alcohol fuel plant (AFP, a type of DSP) desires to have distilled spirits or denatured spirits transferred to its plant from another domestic DSP, the receiving proprietor must make an application to receive such spirits in bond as the excise tax liability for the transferred spirits passes to the receiving DSP during transit. Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require the receiving DSP proprietor to file an application for the transfer on TTB F 5100.16, Application for Transfer of Spirits and/or Denatured Spirits in Bond. TTB must approve the application before the transfer may occur. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to ensure that the receiving plant has adequate bond coverage to cover the excise taxes attached to the transferred spirits or, for certain small alcohol excise taxpayers, is exempt from such bond coverage.
There are no program changes associated with this information collection at this time. 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 "craft" distillers, TTB is increasing the estimated number of annual respondents, total responses, and burden hours associated with this information collection.
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.
