The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C.5001 imposes Federal excise tax on distilled spirits produced or imported into the United States. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5111â5114 allows manufacturers of certain ânonbeverageâ productsâmedicines, medicinal preparations, food products, flavors, flavoring extracts, or perfumeâto claim drawback (refund) of all but $1.00 per proof gallon of the excise tax paid on the distilled spirits contained in or used in the production of such products. Under those IRC authorities, TTB has issued regulations in 27 CFR part 17 governing nonbeverage product drawback claims, which includes requirements to keep source records supporting such claims. The required records, which may consist of usual and customary business records, document the distilled spirits received, taxes paid, date and quantity used, amount of alcohol recovered, other ingredients received and used (to validate formula compliance), quantity of intermediate products transferred to other plants, and the disposition or purchaser of the products. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as it helps prevent payment of incorrect or fraudulent drawback claims and the diversion to beverage use of distilled spirits on which respondents claim nonbeverage drawback.
There are no program changes associated with this information collection at this time. As for adjustments, due to a change in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the estimated annual burden associated with this information collection from 615 annual respondents and responses to 670 due to growth in the number of nonbeverage product manufacturers subject to this information collection requirement. This results in an increase in this collectionâs estimated annual burden, from 615 hours to 670 (the estimated 1-hour per-response burden remains the same as previously estimated).
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.
