    Abstract: Persons who wish to establish premises to manufacture 
volatile fruit-flavor concentrates are required to file an application 
and keep records to support the manufacture of these concentrates. TTB 
uses the application information to identify persons responsible for 
such manufacture, since these products contain ethyl alcohol and have 
potential for use as alcoholic beverages with consequent loss of 
revenue. The application constitutes registry of a still, a statutory 
requirement. TTB uses the records to ensure that the concentrates are 
manufactured properly.

volatile fruit-flavor concentrate must provide reports as necessary to 
ensure the protection of the revenue. The report, TTB F 5520.2, 
accounts for all concentrates manufactured, removed, or treated so as 
to be unfit for beverage use. TTB requires this information to verify 
that alcohol is not being diverted, thereby jeopardizing tax revenues. 
The records used to compile this report are usual and customary 
business records that the manufacturer would maintain in the course of 
doing business. These reports and records must be retained for 3 years 
from the date prepared or 3 years from the date of the last entry, 
whichever is later.

keep daily records of receipt and disposition of distilled spirits, and 
a record of all wine and beer the dealer receives. Records of receipt 
and disposition describe the activities of wholesale dealers and
