and used. These records would be 

maintained in the normal course of 

operations. The record retention 

requirement for this information 

collection is 3 years. 

Current Actions: We are submitting 

this information collection for extension 

purposes only. This information 

collection, the estimated number of 

respondents, and the estimated total 

annual burden hours remain 

unchanged.

currently approved collection.

Title: Alternative Methods or 

Procedures and Emergency Variations 

from Requirements for Exports of 

Liquors. 

OMB Number: 1513–0082. 

TTB Recordkeeping Number: 5170/7. 

Abstract: When an exporter seeks to 

use an alternate method or procedure or 

seeks an emergency variation from the 

regulatory requirements of 27 CFR part 

28, such exporter requests a variance by 

letter, following the procedure in 27 

CFR 28.20. TTB uses the provided 

information to determine if the 

requested variance is allowed by statute 

and does not jeopardize the revenue. 

The applicant is informed of the 

approval or disapproval of the request. 

TTB also uses the information to 

analyze what changes should be made 

to existing regulations. Records must be 

maintained only while the applicant is 

using the authorization. 

Current Actions: We are submitting 

this information collection for extension 

purposes only. This information 

collection, the estimated number of 

respondents, and the estimated total 

annual burden hours remain 

unchanged. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Business and other 

for-profit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

500. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 200. 

Title: Labeling of Sulfites in Alcoholic 

Beverages. 

OMB Number: 1513–0084. 

TTB Form/Recordkeeping Number: 

None. 

Abstract: As mandated by law, and in 

accordance with our consumer 

protection responsibilities, TTB requires 

label disclosure statements on all 

alcoholic beverage products released 

from U.S. bottling premises or customs 

custody that contain 10 parts per 

million or more of sulfites. Sulfating 

agents have been shown to produce 

allergic-type responses in humans, 

particularly asthmatics, and the 

presence of these ingredients in alcohol 

beverages may have serious health 

implications for those who are 

intolerant of sulfites. Disclosure of 

sulfites on labels of alcohol beverages 

will minimize their exposure to these 

ingredients. 

Current Actions: We are submitting 

this information collection for extension 

purposes only. This information 

collection, the estimated number of 

respondents, and the estimated total 

annual burden hours remain 

unchanged. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

4,787. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 3,159.
