To safeguard Federal alcohol excise tax revenue, 26 U.S.C. 5181 and 5207 require that a proprietor of an alcohol fuel plant (AFP) make such application, maintain such records, and render such reports as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe. The TTB regulations in 27 CFR, part 19, subpart X, implement those statutory requirements. The information collected under these regulations is necessary to identify and determine that persons are qualified to produce alcohol for fuel purposes, to account for distilled spirits produced and verify its proper disposition, to keep registrations current, and to evaluate permissible variations from prescribed procedures.
