The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5066, 5214, and 5362, provides that distilled spirits, denatured spirits, and wines may be withdrawn from bonded premises, without payment of Federal alcohol excise tax, for export, for transfer to a foreign trade zone or a customs bonded warehouse, or for use as supplies on certain vessels or aircraft. These IRC sections also state that such withdrawals are subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB alcohol export regulations in 27 CFR part 28 require exporters to use TTB F 5100.11 to report and document removals of distilled spirits, denatured spirits, and wines, without payment of tax, for export purposes. Those purposes include direct export to a foreign country or United States armed forces stationed overseas; transfer to a foreign trade zone, a customs manufacturing bonded warehouse, or a customs bonded warehouse for subsequent export; or for use as supplies on international vessels or aircraft. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as the information provided on TTB F 5100.11 allows TTB to determine that exporters of spirits and wines withdrawn without payment of tax possess the appropriate bond coverage for any resulting excise tax liabilities, and the form provides certification that the untaxed products in question were, in fact, exported, transferred, or laden on a qualified vessel or aircraft and not diverted into domestic commerce, which is subject to tax.
At this time, there are no program changes associated with this information collection. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the number of annual respondents, total responses, and burden hours associated with this information collection, from 150 respondents to 370, from 3,000 responses to 7,400, and from 1,500 total burden hours to 3,700. The number of responses per respondent (20) and the time required to complete a response (0.5 hour) remain the same as previously reported.
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.
