Abstract: Reports of the importation and disposition of tobacco products and processed tobacco are necessary to determine whether those issued the permits required by 26 U.S.C. Section 5713 should be allowed to continue their operations or renew their permits. This report is also used to determine if tobacco products or processed tobacco are being diverted for illegal purposes and to ensure that holders of basic permits are engaging in the operations stated on their basic permit.

Emergency Justfication: On February 4, 2009, President Obama signed into law the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-3, 123 Stat. 8 (“the Act”). Section 702 of the Act included amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC) to extend permit, inventory, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements to include processed tobacco, even though such processed tobacco is not subject to excise tax under the IRC. We are requesting an emergency approval of 1513-0107 to adhere to the change in the law. ICR are being amended or created to reflect the new requirements related to permits, inventory, reporting, and recordkeeping associated with processed tobacco. TTB plans to issue regulation amendments to implement the changes as soon as possible. Corresponding changes will be made throughout the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau website as appropriate. Thank you for your assistance.
