general public and other Federal 

agencies to comment on the proposed or 

continuing information collections 

listed below in this notice, as required 

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be included or

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval of the relevant information 

collection. All comments are part of the 

public record and subject to disclosure. 

Please do not include any confidential

the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of 

the information collection’s burden; (c)

Information Collections Open for 

Comment 

Currently, we are seeking comments 

on the following forms, recordkeeping 

requirements, or questionnaires: 

OMB Control Number: 1513–0007. 

TTB Form Numbers: TTB F 5130.9 

and TTB F 5130.26. 

Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code 

(IRC) requires brewers to file periodic 

reports of their brewing and associated 

operations. Brewers that anticipate an 

annual tax liability of $50,000 or more 

with respect to beer must use TTB F 

5130.9 to file monthly operational 

reports. Brewers that reasonably expect 

to be liable for not more than $50,000 

in taxes with respect to beer in the 

preceding calendar year and during the 

current calendar year may use either 

TTB F 5130.9 or the simplified TTB F 

5130.26 to file quarterly operational 

reports. TTB uses these reports to 

determine whether the brewer’s 

operations are in compliance with the 

requirements of Federal law and 

regulations. We also use this 

information to assist us in determining 

whether the brewer pays the proper 

Federal excise taxes in a timely and 

accurate manner. 

Current Actions: We are submitting 

this information collection as a revision 

of this collection as last approved by 

OMB for six months in October 2014. 

We are removing from this information 

collection older versions of TTB F 

5130.9 and TTB F 5130.26 used by 

brewers to report operational activities 

that occurred prior to 2015, and we are 

retaining the revised versions of TTB F 

5130.9 and TTB F 5130.26 that brewers 

will use to report operational activities 

occurring on and after January 1, 2015. 

In addition, we are revising the number 

of respondents and the total annual 

burden hours to reflect an increase in 

the number of respondents. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,200. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 12,636.

Liquors and Articles of Puerto Rican

Abstract: Industry members use TTB 

F 5170.7 to document the shipment of 

taxpaid Puerto Rican distilled spirits 

and other alcohol products to the 

United States. Puerto Rican and U.S. 

Treasury Department officials review 

the form to certify that the products are 

either taxpaid or tax deferred under 

appropriate bond. This serves as a 

method of protecting the revenue.
