Abstract: Under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5041, 5362, 5367, 5369, 5370, and 5555, the TTB regulations require wineries, taxpaid wine bottling houses, and vinegar plants to keep certain usual and customary business records. These records include purchase, sales, and other internal records related to their production and processing of wine, and their packaging, storage, and shipping operations. TTB routinely inspects these records to verify proper payment of Federal wine excise taxes on the six tax classes of wine and to ensure that proprietors produce, package, store, ship, and transfer wine in compliance with the applicable Federal statutory and regulatory requirements. In a proposed rule titled “Modernization of Permit Application Requirements for Wine Premises,” TTB is proposing deregulatory amendments to its regulations to streamline the requirements for an application to establish and operate a wine premises and to relax reporting requirements associated with certain changes to the business or operations of a wine premises proprietor. The proposed amendments are intended to reduce the overall respondent burden associated with OMB No. 1513–0009, Application to Establish and Operate Wine Premise, and Wine Bond. In addition, certain proposed amendments will also affect OMB No. 1513–0057, Letterhead Applications and Notices Relating to Wine (TTB REC 5120/2), and this information collection request, OMB No. 1513–0115, Usual and Customary Business Records Relating to Wine (TTB REC 5120/1). In relation to this information collection request, TTB generally requires wine premises proprietors to maintain records required under 27 CFR part 24 at their wine premises, but proprietors may request to maintain those records off-premises by submitting a letterhead application to do so under 27 CFR 24.22, Alternate method or procedure, as approved under OMB No. 1513–0057. Such letterhead applications must be approved by TTB before the proprietor can begin to maintain records at the specified off-premises location. In the proposed rule, TTB is proposing amendments to paragraph (e) of § 24.300 to allow proprietors to maintain required records at a location other than the wine premises by merely submitting a letterhead notification to TTB reporting the alternate location. Such letterhead notices do not require TTB approval but merely inform TTB of the reported action or operation. Thus, the information collection requirement regarding alternate location for wine premises record maintenance would be transferred from § 24.22 to § 24.300(e), but the required letterhead notice will remain accounted for under OMB No. 1513–0057. The overall recordkeeping requirements of § 24.300 will remain under OMB No. 1513–0115.
