Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code, at 26 U.S.C. 5111–5114, authorizes "drawback" (similar to a refund) of all but $1.00 per gallon of the Federal excise tax already paid on distilled spirits, if the spirits are subsequently used in the manufacture of certain nonbeverage products such as medicines, food products, flavors, and perfumes. Persons making such products must file claims proving their eligibility for drawback. Claims may be filed on either a monthly or a quarterly basis, and 26 U.S.C. 5114(b) authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to require persons filing monthly claims to file a bond in order to protect the revenue. Monthly claimants file their bond using TTB F 5154.3.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Based on recent experience, we are decreasing the number of annual respondents to this information from 52 to 20. However, we are increasing the estimated burden per response from 12 minutes to 24 minutes to more accurately reflect the time it takes a respondent to complete the form. With the decrease in the number of respondents, and the increase in the response time per form, the resulting annual burden is 8 hours, an overall decrease of 2.4 hours from previous estimates. This reduction in the annual number of respondents and burden hours is due to the number of respondents who formerly filed drawback claims on a monthly basis, which requires a bond, who are now filing such claims on a quarterly basis, which does not require a bond.
