The Internal Revenue Code requires brewers to file a notice of intent to operate a brewery. TTB F 5130.10 is similar to a permit and, when approved by TTB, is a brewer's authorization to operate. Letterhead applications and notices are necessary to identify brewery activities so that TTB may ensure that proposed operations do not jeopardize Federal revenues.
Emergency reinstatement to address OMB's term of clearance.
In response to the OMB term of clearance, this submission is being made as a reinstatement with change to identify each element of the collection as a separate information collection instrument. Also, an adjustment to the cost burden was made to correct an error in the previous submission.
The number of Brewers increased and as a result, the number of submissions and burden hours also increased. At the same time, 50% of the Brewers used PONL (Permits OnLine), our electronic method of submitting information. Also, distribution cost for TTB has decreased because of the electronic methods of obtaining the form when needed and the cost, to the same, has increased because of the increase in the number of submissions.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
