SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade 

Bureau (TTB) 

1. Title: Volatile Fruit-Flavor 

Concentrate Plants—Applications and 

Related Records (TTB REC 5520/2). 

OMB Control Number: 1513–0006. 

Type of Request: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Description: Volatile fruit-flavor 

concentrates contain alcohol when 

made by an evaporative process from 

the mash or juice of a fruit. However, 

under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) 

at 26 U.S.C. 5511, alcohol excise taxes 

and most other provisions of chapter 51 

of the IRC do not apply to such 

concentrates if the manufacturers file 

applications, keep records, and meet 

certain statutory and regulatory 

requirements. Under that IRC authority, 

the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade 

Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 

18 require volatile fruit-flavor 

concentrate manufacturers to register 

using form TTB F 5520.3 and file 

amendments to their registrations using 

that form or a letterhead application 

(depending on circumstances). 

Additionally, the regulations require 

concentrate manufacturers to maintain a 

record file of all approved registrations 

and related supporting documents. TTB 

uses the collected information to 

identify concentrate manufacturers and 

their operations to ensure that the tax 

provisions of the IRC are appropriately 

applied. 

Form: TTB F 5520.3. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

55. 

Frequency of Response: On Occasion. 

Estimated Total Number of Annual 

Responses: 55. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 110. 

2. Title: Volatile Fruit-Flavor 

Concentrate Manufacturers—Annual 

Report, and Usual and Customary 

Business Records (TTB REC 5520/1). 

OMB Control Number: 1513–0022. 

Type of Request: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Description: Volatile fruit-flavor 

concentrates contain alcohol when 

made by an evaporative process from 

the mash or juice of a fruit. However, 

under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) 

at 26 U.S.C. 5511, alcohol excise taxes 

and most other provisions of chapter 51 

of the IRC do not apply to such 

concentrates if the manufacturers meet 

certain statutory and regulatory 

requirements. Under that IRC authority, 

the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 18 

require manufacturers of volatile fruitflavor concentrates to submit an annual 

summary report using form TTB F 

5520.2 in order to account for all 

volatile fruit-flavor concentrates 

produced, removed, or made unfit for 

beverage use. Such manufacturers 

compile this report from usual and

under the regulations, respondents must

collected information to ensure that the

appropriately applied.

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The VA uses data from the 

VA Form 22–10215 and VA Form 22– 

10215a for this information collection to 

ensure the compliance of IHLs and NCD 

training institutions that are approved 

by the VA to ensure that no more than 

85% of students in any approved 

program are students in receipt of 

financial support from the educational 

institution or by VA under title 38, 

U.S.C., or under title 10, U.S.C. Without 

this information, VA might pay benefits 

in error. Except as otherwise provided 

by regulation, VA shall not approve an 

enrollment in any course for an eligible 

Veteran, not already enrolled, for any 

period during which more than 85 

percent of the students enrolled in the 

course are having all or part of their 

tuition, fees or other charges paid for 

them by the educational institution or 

by VA under title 38, U.S.C., or under 

title 10, U.S.C. This is known as the 85/ 

15 Rule and is applicable to Institutions 

of Higher Learning (IHLs) and NonCollege Degree postsecondary schools 

(NCDs). The requirements apply to all 

courses, not otherwise exempt, or 

waived, offered by all educational 

institutions, regardless of whether the 

institution is degree-granting, 

proprietary profit, proprietary nonprofit, 

eleemosynary, public and/or taxsupported. These schools are required to 

submit information necessary to 

determine if their programs of training 

are approved for the payment of VA 

educational assistance. This specified 

information is submitted either to VA or 

to the State Approving Agency (SAA) 

having jurisdiction over that school. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to
