SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade 

Bureau (TTB) 

1. Title: Combined Alcohol Excise Tax 

Returns and Operations Reports—Pilot 

Test. 

OMB Control Number: 1513–NEW. 

Type of Review: Request for a new 

OMB Control Number. 

Description: Under the Internal 

Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5061, 

the Federal excise tax on distilled 

spirits, wine, and beer is collected on 

the basis of a return which taxpayers file 

on a semi-monthly, quarterly, or annual 

basis, depending on the amount of their 

annual tax liability (see 26 U.S.C. 

5061(d)(4)). In addition, under the IRC 

at 26 U.S.C. 5207, 5367, and 5415, 

taxpayers for distilled spirits, wine, and 

beer, respectively, must furnish reports 

of operations and transactions as the 

Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by 

regulation. 

Currently, under those IRC 

authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco 

Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations 

in 27 CFR chapter I require alcohol 

excise taxpayers to report their excise 

tax liability using form TTB F 5000.24, 

Excise Tax Return, approved under 

OMB No. 1513–0083. In addition, 

alcohol excise taxpayers must file 

operations reports accounting for their 

production, removals, losses, and 

certain other matters that effect their 

excise tax liability. Distilled spirits 

plant proprietors file up to four separate 

operations reports on a monthly basis 

on TTB F 5110.11, TTB F 5110.28, TTB 

F 5110.40, and TTB F 5110.43, 

approved under OMB Nos. 1513–0039, 

1513–0041, 1513–0047, and 1513–0049, 

concerning, respectively, storage, 

processing, production, and denaturing 

operations. Wine premises proprietors 

file monthly operations reports on TTB 

F 5120.17, approved under OMB No. 

1513–0053. Brewers, depending on their 

annual tax liability, file operations 

reports either on a monthly basis using 

TTB F 5130.9 or on a quarterly basis 

using TTB F 5130.9 or TTB F 5130.26, 

both of which are approved under OMB 

No. 1513–0007. 

As part of TTB’s efforts to lower 

respondent burden, the Bureau is 

developing a combined tax return and 

simplified operations report and intends 

to pilot its use with alcohol excise 

taxpayers. Under this pilot, alcohol 

excise taxpayers will submit a 

letterhead application to join the pilot 

program as an alternative method to 

their filing the current tax return and 

operations reports under existing 

regulatory requirements. Once 

approved, taxpayers participating in the 

pilot program will file their combined
