SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax & Trade 

Bureau (TTB) 

Title: Drawback on Beer Exported. 

OMB Control Number: 1513–0017. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Abstract: Under the Internal Revenue 

Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5055, brewers 

may receive drawback (refund) of the 

Federal excise tax paid on beer 

produced in the United States when 

such beer is exported or delivered for 

use as supplies on vessels and aircraft, 

if proof of such action is provided as the 

Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary) 

may by regulation require. Under this 

authority, after taxpaid domestic beer is 

exported to a foreign country, delivered 

to the U.S. Armed Forces for export, 

delivered for use as supplies on vessels 

or aircraft, or transferred to a foreign 

trade zone for subsequent exportation, 

the TTB regulations allow the brewer or 

exporter to file a claim for drawback of 

the excise taxes paid on such beer using 

TTB F 5130.6. The required information 

is necessary to protect the revenue; it 

provides TTB with documentation 

through which TTB can determine that 

beer for which drawback is claimed is 

eligible for such drawback. 

Form: TTB Form 5130.6. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 2,400. 

Title: Inventory—Manufacturer of 

Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco. 

OMB Control Number: 1513–0032. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5721 

requires manufacturers of tobacco 

products and processed tobacco to 

complete an inventory at the 

commencement of business, the 

conclusion of business, and at any other 

time the Secretary by regulation 

prescribes. Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 

5741, these manufacturers are also 

required to keep records and make them 

available for inspection in the manner 

the Secretary by regulation prescribes. 

Under these authorities, the TTB 

regulations require manufacturers of 

tobacco products and processed tobacco 

to provide inventories on TTB F 5210.9 

at the commencement of business, the 

conclusion of business, when changes 

in business ownership or location occur, 

and at any other time as directed by the 

appropriate TTB officer. This 

information is necessary to protect the 

revenue. TTB F 5210.9 provides a 

uniform format for recording certain 

inventories, which TTB uses to ensure 

that a manufacturer’s Federal excise tax 

is correctly determined. 

Form: TTB Form 5210.9. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 200. 

Title: Tax Deferral Bond—Distilled 

Spirits (Puerto Rico). 

OMB Control Number: 1513–0050. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

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

7652, beverage distilled spirits and 

nonbeverage products containing spirits 

subject to tax manufactured in Puerto 

Rico and brought into the United States 

are subject to a tax equal to that 

imposed on domestically produced 

spirits under 26 U.S.C. 5001, and the 

Secretary is authorized to prescribe 

regulations regarding the mode and time 

for payment and collection of such 

taxes. Under this authority, the TTB 

regulations allow respondents who ship 

such products from Puerto Rico to the 

United States to either choose to pay the 

required tax prior to shipment or to file 

a bond to defer payment of the tax until 

the submission of the respondent’s next 

excise tax return and payment. The TTB 

regulations require respondents who 

elect to defer payment of tax to file a tax 

deferral bond on TTB F 5110.50, which 

is a contract between the person 

withdrawing the products in Puerto 

Rico for shipment to the United States 

and the surety. The required 

information is necessary to protect the 

revenue; it ensures payment of the 

applicable tax. 

Form: TTB Form 5110.50. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 10. 

Title: Usual and Customary Business 

Records Relating to Wine. 

OMB Control Number: 1513–0115. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Abstract: Under the authority of the 

IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5362, 5367, 5369, 5370, 

and 5555, the TTB regulations require 

wineries, taxpaid wine bottling houses, 

and vinegar plants to keep usual and 

customary business records relating to 

wine, including purchase invoices, sales 

invoices, and internal records, in order 

to document their use of authorized 

materials and processes and their 

production and processing, packaging, 

storing, and shipping operations. The 

requirements to keep such records are 

necessary to protect the revenue. TTB 

routinely inspects these records to 

ensure the proper payment of Federal 

wine excise taxes by these businesses 

and to ensure that wine is produced, 

packaged, stored, shipped, and 

transferred in accordance with the 

applicable Federal laws and regulations. 

Form: None. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 1. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. 

Dated: September 22, 2017.
