Abstract: To ensure that the Federal excise tax revenue imposed on alcohol and tobacco products under the provisions of chapter 51 and chapter 52 of the IRC is not jeopardized, TTB is authorized by the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5114, 5173, 5272, 5354, 5401, and 5711 to require persons qualified to operate or deal in these industries to post a bond to ensure payment of Federal excise taxes by the bonding company should the proprietor default. Should the circumstances of a proprietor's operation change from the original bond agreement, TTB regulations require the filing of form TTB F 5000.18, Change of Bond (Consent of Surety), in lieu of obtaining a new bond. This form is executed by both the proprietor and the bonding company, and it acts as an extension of the original bond, identifying new activities or conditions previously not identified on the bond. TTB F 5000.18 is executed in the same manner as a bond and has the same authority as a binding legal agreement to protect the revenue.

Short Statement: Based on recent experience, TTB is adjusting the number of respondents from 3,600 to 2,000 to provide a more accurate reporting of respondents; resulting in a decrease in the estimated annual burden hours from 3,533 to 2,000 hours. In addition, we are correcting the reporting of separate burden for paper and PONL submissions of TTB F 5100.18. Respondents using PONL are required to upload a completed TTB F 5100.18 into any PONL application they submit to TTB.
