89500 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 27, 2023 / Notices 

5181(a)(1), persons wishing to establish 

a distilled spirits plant for the sole 

purpose of producing and receiving 

distilled spirits for fuel use must 

provide an application and bond as the 

Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe 

by regulation. Under this authority, TTB 

has issued regulations concerning the 

establishment of such alcohol fuel 

plants (AFPs) in 27 CFR part 19, subpart 

X. Those regulations require that a 

person wishing to establish a new AFP 

must submit an application for an 

alcohol fuel producer permit using form 

TTB F 5110.74. The regulations also 

require existing AFP proprietors to use 

that same form to make certain 

amendments to their permit 

information. TTB F 5110.74 and its 

required supporting documents identify 

or describe, among other things, the 

applicant, the proposed AFP’s location 

and layout, its stills, its size category 

(small, medium, or large) based on the 

amount of alcohol fuel to be produced 

annually, and the security measures to 

be taken to prevent theft and diversion 

of the distilled spirits produced. The 

collected information allows TTB to 

determine the applicant’s eligibility 

under the IRC to obtain or modify an 

alcohol fuel producer permit, and to 

determine whether the applicant’s AFP 

operations will conform to Federal law 

and regulations. Such determinations 

are necessary to protect the revenue as 

distilled spirits produced at an AFP are 

potable and thus subject to Federal 

excise tax until denatured for fuel use. 

Once distilled spirits are denatured at 

an AFP, the resulting alcohol fuel may 

be withdrawn free of tax as authorized 

by the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5214(a)(12). 

Form: TTB F 5110.74. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

75. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Abstract: These forms are used by 

employers to report their employment 

tax related activity. The data is used to 

verify that the items reported on the 

forms are correct. 

Current Actions: The burden 

estimation methodology for 

employment tax is being transitioned 

from the legacy ADL model to the 

Taxpayer Burden Model. The changes 

result in a burden hour estimate of 

456,000,000 hours, a decrease in total 

estimated time burden of 492,967,465 

hours. The newly reported total out-ofpocket costs is $18,910,000,000 and 

total monetized burden is 

$33,540,000,000. The change related to 

the transition of the burden estimate 

from the legacy Arthur D. Little Model 

methodology to the RAAS Taxpayer 

Burden Model, is a one-time change. In 

addition, changes are being made to the 

form to be current with enacted 

legislation. 

Type of Review: Revision of currently 

approved collections. 

Affected Public: Employers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

7,128,000. 

Estimated Hours: 456,000,000. 

Estimated Hours per Respondent: 

approximately 64 hours. 

Estimated Out-of-Pocket Costs: 

$18,910,000,000. 

Estimated Out-of-Pocket Cost per 

Respondent: $2,653. 

Estimated Monetized Burden: 

$33,540,000,000. 

Estimated Monetized Burden per 

Respondent: $4,705.

* FY20 responses per year is count of all forms and schedules filed under legacy A.D. Little burden estimate methodology. 

** FY23 responses per year is count of all employers under taxpayer-centric Research, Applied Analytics, and Statistics (RAAS) burden estimate methodology. This approach is also used for OMB 1545–0074 individuals, 1545–0123 (business entities), and 1545–0047 (tax-exempt organizations. 

*** Total monetized burden = Monetized hours + Out-of-pocket costs. 

Note: Reported time and cost burdens are national averages and do not necessarily reflect a ‘‘typical’’ case. Most taxpayers experience lower 

than average burden, with taxpayer burden varying considerably by taxpayer type. Detail may not add due to rounding.
