hazardous materials being transported 

significantly improves response efforts 

in these types of emergencies. 

In addition to the basic shipping 

description information on shipping 

papers, we also require the subsidiary 

hazard class or subsidiary division 

number(s) to be entered in parentheses 

following the primary hazard class or 

division number on shipping papers. 

This requirement was originally 

required only by transportation by 

vessel. However, the lack of such a 

requirement posed problems for motor 

carriers regarding compliance with 

segregation, separation, and placarding 

requirements, as well as posing a safety 

hazard. For example, in the event the 

motor vehicle becomes involved in an 

accident, when the hazardous materials 

being transported include a subsidiary 

hazard such as ‘‘dangerous when wet’’ 

or a subsidiary hazard requiring more 

stringent requirements than the primary 

hazard, there is no indication of the 

subsidiary hazards on the shipping 

papers and no indication of the 

subsidiary risks on placards. Under 

circumstances such as motor vehicles 

being loaded at a dock, labels are not 

sufficient to alert hazardous materials 

employees loading the vehicles, nor are 

they sufficient to alert emergency 

responders of the subsidiary risks 

contained on the vehicles. Therefore, we 

require the subsidiary hazard class or 

subsidiary division number(s) to be 

entered on the shipping paper for 

purposes of enhancing safety and 

international harmonization.

OMB Control No. 1513–0010 

Title: Formula and Process for Wine. 

TTB Form Number: TTB F 5120.29. 

Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code 

(IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5361, 5362, and 5386– 

5388, require persons who intend to 

produce certain agricultural, nonstandard, or nonbeverage wines to 

obtain approval of the formulas and 

processes by which those products will 

be made. Under the Alcohol and 

Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) 

regulations in 27 CFR parts 24 and 26, 

producers may file such wine formula 

and process approval requests using 

TTB F 5120.29. TTB uses the collected 

information to ensure that the relevant 

tax provisions of the IRC are 

appropriately applied. 

Current Actions: There are no 

program changes or adjustments to this 

information collection, and TTB is 

submitting it for extension purposes 

only. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses and other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Annual Burden 

• Number of Respondents: 30. 

• Average Responses per Respondent:

Total Burden: 300 hours. 

OMB Control No. 1513–0012 

Title: User’s Report of Denatured 

Spirits. 

TTB Form Number: TTB F 5150.18. 

Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5214 

allows the tax-free withdrawal of 

denatured distilled spirits from a 

distilled spirits plant (DSP), while 26 

U.S.C. 5275 requires persons that 

procure, deal in, or use specially 

denatured (SDS), or that recover 

specially denatured or completely 

denatured distilled spirits, to maintain 

records and file reports as required by 

regulation. The TTB regulations in 27 

CFR part 20 require persons who use or 

recover SDS or articles, or who use 

recovered completely denatured spirits 

or articles, to file a report once annually, 

or when discontinuing business, using 

TTB F 5150.18 to account for their use 

of such denatured spirits in specific 

approved formulas. The collected 

information is necessary to ensure that 

the tax provisions of the IRC are 

appropriately applied, as it accounts for 

the use of untaxed distilled spirits. 

Current Actions: There are no 

program changes associated with this 

information collection, and TTB is 

submitting it for extension purposes 

only. As for adjustments, due to changes 

in agency estimates, TTB is decreasing 

the number of annual respondents, 

responses, and burden hours associated 

with this collection. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Annual Burden 

• Number of Respondents: 650. 

• Average Responses per Respondent: 

1 (one). 

• Number of Responses: 650. 

• Average Per-response Burden: 18 

minutes. 

• Total Burden: 195 hours. 

OMB Control No. 1513–0014 

Title: Power of Attorney. 

TTB Form Number: TTB F 5000.8. 

Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 6061 

provides that persons must sign any 

return, statement, or document 

submitted under the IRC’s provisions in 

accordance with prescribed forms and 

regulations. In addition, the Federal 

Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) 

at 27 U.S.C. 204(c) authorizes the 

Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary) 

to prescribe the manner and form of 

applications for basic permits issued 

under the Act. Under those authorities, 

the TTB regulations require individuals 

signing documents and forms filed with 

TTB on behalf of an applicant or 

principal to have specific authority to 

do so. To delegate such authority and 

report that delegation to TTB, applicants 

and principals complete form TTB F 

5000.8, Power of Attorney. TTB uses the 

collected information to determine who 

legally represents a person doing 

business with TTB. 

Current Actions: There are no 

program changes associated with this 

information collection, and TTB is 

submitting it for extension purposes 

only. As for adjustments, due to changes 

in agency estimates, TTB is decreasing 

the number of annual respondents, 

responses, and burden hours associated 

with this collection. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses and other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Annual Burden 

• Number of Respondents: 4,250. 

• Average Responses per Respondent: 

2. 

• Number of Responses: 8,500. 

• Average Per-response Burden: 20 

minutes. 

• Total Burden: 2,833 hours. 

OMB Control No. 1513–0029 

Title: Certificate of Tax 

Determination—Wine. 

TTB Form Number: TTB F 5120.20. 

Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5062 

authorizes drawback (refund) of the 

Federal excise tax on distilled spirits 

and wines exported from the United 

States, under regulations requiring 

evidence of the product’s tax payment 

or determination and exportation. 

Under that authority, the TTB 

regulations in 27 CFR part 28 require 

drawback claims filed by wine exporters 

to be accompanied by the producer’s or 

bottler’s certification, filed on TTB F 

5120.20, that the listed wines were 

produced in the United States and 

taxpaid or determined upon 

withdrawal. The collected information 

is necessary to ensure that the tax 

provisions of the IRC are appropriately 

applied, as it allows TTB to prevent the 

payment of unverified drawback claims. 

Current Actions: There are no 

program changes associated with this 

information collection at this time, and 

TTB is submitting it for extension 

purposes only. As for adjustments, due 

to changes in agency estimates, TTB is 

decreasing the number of annual 

respondents but is increasing the 

average responses per respondent, the 

total number of responses, and the total 

burden hours associated with this 

collection. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Annual Burden 

• Number of Respondents: 22. 

• Average Responses per Respondent: 

300. 

• Number of Responses: 6,600. 

• Average Per-response Burden: 0.5 

hour. 

• Total Burden: 3,300 hours.

Title: Distilled Spirits Plant 

Denaturation Records (TTB REC 5110/ 

04), and Monthly Report of Processing 

(Denaturing) Operations. 

TTB Form Number: TTB F 5110.43. 

TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB 

REC 5110/04. 

Abstract: The IRC, at 26 U.S.C. 5207, 

requires DSP proprietors to maintain 

records and submit reports of their 

production, storage, denaturation, and 

processing activities. At 26 U.S.C. 5214, 

the IRC also authorizes the withdrawal 

of denatured distilled spirits from a DSP 

tax-free for certain specified uses. Under 

those authorities, the TTB regulations in 

27 CFR part 19 require DSP proprietors 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 3, 2022 / Notices 26263 

to keep certain records regarding their 

production, receipt, loss, transfer, and 

withdrawal of denatured spirits. Those 

regulations also require DSP proprietors 

to submit a summary of their daily 

denaturing (processing) activities to 

TTB on a monthly basis using form TTB 

F 5110.43. Because proprietors may 

remove denatured spirits from a DSP 

tax-free, a full accounting of a DSP’s 

denaturation operations is necessary to 

ensure that the tax provisions of the IRC 

are appropriately applied and to prevent 

diversion of untaxed spirits to taxable 

uses. 

Current Actions: There are no 

program changes associated with this 

information collection at this time, and 

TTB is submitting it for extension 

purposes only. As for adjustments, due 

to changes in agency estimates, TTB is 

increasing the number of annual 

respondents, responses, and total 

burden hours associated with this 

collection. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses and other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Annual Burden 

• Number of Respondents: 470. 

• Average Responses per Respondent: 

12. 

• Number of Responses: 5,640. 

• Average Per-response Burden: 1 

hour. 

• Total Burden: 5,640 hours.

Title: Letterhead Applications and 

Notices Relating to Tax Free Alcohol, 

TTB REC 5150/4. 

TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB 

REC 5150/4. 

Abstract: While the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 

5001 generally imposes a Federal excise 

tax on all distilled spirits produced in 

or imported into the United States, 26 

U.S.C. 5214 provides for the tax-free 

withdrawal of distilled spirits from 

DSPs for nonbeverage purposes, 

including for use by educational 

institutions, laboratories, and medical 

facilities, and by State, local, and tribal 

governments. At 26 U.S.C. 5271–5275, 

the IRC also sets permit, bond, formula 

submission, recordkeeping, and 

reporting requirements for the use of 

tax-free distilled spirits, all of which is 

subject to regulations prescribed by the 

Secretary. Under those authorities, the 

TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 22 

require users of tax-free alcohol to 

submit certain letterhead applications 

and notices, which serve as qualifying 

documents for specific regulated 

activities or as amendments to 

previously filed documents. The 

collected information is necessary to 

ensure that the provisions of the IRC 

related to tax-free distilled spirits are 

appropriately applied. 

Current Actions: There are no 

program changes associated with this 

information collection, and TTB is 

submitting it for extension purposes 

only. As for adjustments, due to a 

change in agency estimates, TTB is 

decreasing the number or annual 

respondents, responses, and burden 

hours for this collection. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Annual Burden 

• Number of Respondents: 300. 

• Average Responses per Respondent: 

1 (one). 

• Number of Responses: 300. 

• Average Per-response Burden: 0.5 

hours. 

• Total Burden: 150 hours. 

OMB Control No. 1513–0067 

Title: Wholesale Alcohol Dealer 

Recordkeeping Requirement Variance 

Requests and Approvals. 

TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB 

REC 5170/6. 

Abstract: Under the authority of the 

IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5121, the TTB 

regulations in 27 CFR part 31 require 

wholesale alcohol dealers to keep daily 

records of their receipt and disposition 

of distilled spirits. Specific to this 

information collection, and as 

authorized by the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5555, 

the TTB regulations in part 31 allow 

wholesale alcohol dealers to submit 

letterhead applications to TTB 

requesting approval of variations in the 

type and format of such records, and for 

variations in the place of retention for 

those records. TTB review of such 

applications is necessary to determine 

that such variances would not 

jeopardize the revenue, be contrary to 

any provisions of law, or unduly hinder 

the effective administration of the 

relevant TTB regulations. 

Current Actions: There are no 

program changes associated with this 

information collection, and TTB is 

submitting it for extension purposes 

only. As for adjustments, due to changes 

in agency estimates, TTB is increasing 

the number of annual respondents, 

responses, and burden hours for this 

collection. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Annual Burden 

• Number of Respondents: 130. 

• Average Responses per Respondent: 

1 (one). 

• Number of Responses: 130. 

• Average Per-response Burden: 0.5 

hour. 

• Total Burden: 65 hours.

Title: Alternate Methods or 

Procedures and Emergency Variations 

from Requirements for Exports of 

Liquors. 

TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB 

REC 5170.7. 

Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7805 

authorizes the Secretary to issue all 

needful regulations to implement the 

IRC. Under that authority, the TTB 

regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow 

alcohol exporters to apply for TTB 

approval of proposed alternate methods 

or procedures to, or emergency 

variances from, the requirements of that 

part, other than the giving of a bond or 

the payment of tax. Such applications 

provide alcohol exporters with 

operational flexibility and allow such 

exporters to meet emergency 

circumstances. TTB review of such 

applications is necessary to determine 

that the proposed alternative or variance 

would not jeopardize the revenue, be 

contrary to any provisions of law, or 

unduly hinder the effective 

administration of the relevant TTB 

regulations. 

Current Actions: There are no 

program changes or adjustments 

associated with this information 

collection at this time, and TTB is 

submitting it for extension purposes 

only. 

Type of Review: Extension of a

Title: Applications, Notices, and 

Permits Relative to Importation and 

Exportation of Distilled Spirits, Wine 

and Beer, Including Puerto Rico and the 

Virgin Islands. 

Abstract: Chapter 51 of the IRC 

imposes Federal excise taxes on alcohol 

beverages imported into the United 

States, while exports of such products 

are not generally subject to tax. In 

addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7652 

applies an equal tax to such products 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
26264 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 3, 2022 / Notices 

from Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin 

Islands imported into the United States, 

but that section also requires deposit of 

most of the collected taxes to the 

Treasuries of those islands’ 

governments. As a result, the TTB 

regulations in 27 parts 26, 27, and 28 

require persons exporting or importing 

alcohol beverages from Puerto Rico and 

the U.S. Virgin Islands to file certain 

letterhead applications and notices, and 

to keep certain records, regarding such 

activities. The collected information is 

necessary to ensure that the tax 

provisions of the IRC related to Puerto 

Rican and U.S. Virgin Islands products 

are appropriately applied. 

Current Actions: There are no 

program changes or adjustments 

associated with this information 

collection, and TTB is submitting it for 

extension purposes only. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other

in any correspondence. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA of 1995, Federal agencies must 

obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. This request for comment is 

being made pursuant to Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, VBA invites

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of VBA’s 

functions, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of VBA’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the

Title: Application for Approval of a 

Program in a Foreign Country. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0853. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: VA will use the information 

collected to determine if a program in a 

foreign country is approvable under 

CFR 21.4260. For a review and decision 

to be made, the VA needs supporting 

information from a foreign educational 

institution. 

The Application for Approval of a 

Program in a Foreign Country, VA Form 

22–0976 OMB ICR #2900–0853 is being 

submitted as a ‘‘Revision’’. We are 

changing the formatting of the form, as 

well as changing most of the existing 

questions to be written in the form of a 

statement. There is no change to the 

current burden as a result of making 

these revisions. 

Currently, the VA Form 22–0976 

questions are written to solicit YES/NO 

responses regarding compliance to the 

current and new provisions established 

for foreign institutions. We believe the 

questions should be instead written and 

displayed in the form of a statement to 

indicate the VA requirements necessary 

for the achievement of compliance for 

foreign institutions. 

Public Law 116–135, Johnny Isakson 

and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health 

Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 

2020 amended a number of VA benefits 

that requires the revision of VA Form 

22–0976 to comply with these changes. 

The VA Form 22–0976 is the official 

application that all foreign institutions 

outside of the United States must use to 

formally request foreign program 

approval for GI Bill benefits from VA. 

The current form is inadequate to 

comply with both the current and new 

changes in the law. Therefore, the 

purpose of revising VA Form 22–0976 is 

to support the provisions of Public Law 

116–135, and the Veterans Benefits and 

Transition Act of 2018, Public Law 115– 

407 necessary for foreign institutions to 

acknowledge and adhered to the 

requirement of Section 104 of this law. 

The provisions of this law require 

foreign institutions to allow eligible 

individuals to stay enrolled in courses 

of education pending the receipt of 

educational assistance from Department 

of Veterans Affairs. The institution’s
