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 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
73942 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 207 / Friday, October 27, 2023 / Notices 

alcohol excise return and simplified 

operations report under the due dates 

currently applicable to their excise tax 

returns. 

The collected information will allow 

TTB to identify the excise taxpayer, the 

amount of taxes due, and the amount of 

payment made. Additionally, the 

collected information will allow TTB to 

identify the amount of distilled spirits, 

wine, or beer the taxpayer produced, 

removed, transferred, and disposed of 

during the reporting period, which 

effects the amount of alcohol excise tax 

due, while reducing the overall burden 

of filing separate tax returns and 

operations reports. 

TTB is beginning this pilot test 

program with the information collection 

and instruments related to the combined 

beer excise tax and operations report; it 

will issue information collections and 

instruments related to the wine and 

distilled spirits excise tax and 

operations reports at later dates. 

Form: TTB F 5130.Pilot-A & B. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

8,300. 

Frequency of Response: Semimonthly, Quarterly, Annually. 

Estimated Total Number of Annual 

Responses: 60,000. 

Estimated Time per Response: Varies 

from 27 to 40 minutes per response. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 32,950. 

2. Title: Usual and Customary 

Business Records Relating to Denatured 

Spirits (TTB REC 5150/1). 

OMB Control Number: 1513–0062. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Description: Denatured distilled 

spirits, which generally are not subject 

to Federal excise tax, may be used for 

industrial purposes in the manufacture 

of nonbeverage products. To prevent 

diversion of denatured spirits to taxable 

beverage use, the Internal Revenue Code 

(IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5271–5275 imposes a 

system of permits, bonds, 

recordkeeping, and reporting 

requirements on persons that procure or 

use such alcohol. Those IRC sections 

also authorize the Secretary of the 

Treasury to issue regulations regarding 

those matters. Under those IRC 

authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco 

Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations 

in 27 CFR part 20 require industrial 

alcohol users to keep certain usual and 

customary business records regarding 

the distribution, procurement, and use 

of denatured spirits. TTB uses the 

required records to account for 

denatured spirits and ensure 

compliance with statutory and 

regulatory requirements. 

Form: None. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,100. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Estimated Total Number of Annual 

Responses: 3,100. 

Estimated Time per Response: None. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 0. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
