Currently, we are seeking comments 

on the following forms, recordkeeping 

requirements, or questionnaires: 

Title: Registration of Volatile FruitFlavor Concentrate Plants; REC 5520/2. 

OMB Control Number: 1513–0006. 

TTB Form Number: 5520.3. 

TTB Recordkeeping Requirement 

Number: 5520/2. 

Abstract: Under provisions of the 

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as 

amended (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5511, 

persons who wish to establish premises 

to manufacture volatile fruit-flavor 

concentrates are required by regulation 

to file an application to do so using TTB 

F 5520.3. TTB uses the application 

information to identify persons engaging 

in such manufacture since these 

products contain ethyl alcohol and have 

potential for use as alcohol beverages, 

which would have Federal excise tax 

implications. The application 

constitutes registry of a still, which is a 

statutory requirement of the IRC at 26 

U.S.C. 5179. Subsequent to the original 

application, manufacturers are required 

to use TTB F 5520.3 to report any 

changes that affect the accuracy of the 

form, such as a change in name, plant 

location, or ownership. Records to 

support the information provided on 

TTB F 5520.3 must be retained for 3 

years. 

Current Actions: We are submitting 

this information collection for extension 

purposes only. The information 

collection, estimated number of 

respondents, and estimated total annual 

burden hours remain unchanged. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection.

Abstract: As authorized by the IRC at 

26 U.S.C. 5511, manufacturers of

concentrates manufactured, removed, or 

treated so as to be unfit for beverage use.

that alcohol is not being diverted,

Alcohol Administration Act may submit 

an offer in compromise. The offer is a 

request by the party in violation to 

compromise penalties for the violations 

in lieu of civil or criminal action. TTB 

F 5640.2 identifies the violation(s) to be

This law also requires a record of all 

wine and beer received by a wholesale 

dealer. Records of receipt and 

disposition describe the activities of 

wholesale dealers, and they provide an 

audit trail of taxable commodities from 

point of production to point of sale. 

Records of disposition are required only 

for distilled spirits. TTB requires the 

monthly report only in exceptional 

circumstances to ensure that a particular 

wholesale dealer is maintaining the 

required records. The record retention 

requirement is 3 years. 

Current Actions: We are submitting 

this information collection for extension 

purposes only. The information

Title: Federal Firearms and

Abstract: A Federal excise tax is 

imposed on the sale of pistols and 

revolvers, other firearms, and shells and 

cartridges (ammunition) sold by 

firearms manufacturers, producers, and 

importers. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 6001 

and 6011 establishes the authority to 

require a return to be made for the

this return is used to determine how 

much Federal excise tax is owed, and to 

verify that a taxpayer has correctly 

determined and paid the appropriate tax 

liability. 

Current Actions: We are submitting 

this information collection as a revision. 

The form remains unchanged; however,

wine (except for natural wine produced
