Abstract: Under the authority of the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5357, 5368, 5388, and 5662, the TTB regulations require that proprietors identify wine kept on bonded premises with certain marks or labels placed on containers, such as tanks, barrels, bins, pallets, and cases, and that proprietors label wine bottles and other consumer containers with certain information, such as brand name, type of wine, and alcohol content, prior to removal for consumption or sale. While the marking and labeling of wine containers by proprietors is a usual and customary business practice, the regulatory requirements to display these marks and labels are necessary to protect the revenue. The marks on tanks, barrels, bins, pallets, cases, and other containers identify the content of the containers to protect the Federal government’s revenue interest prior to removal of the wine from bonded premises. The accurate labeling of wine bottles and other consumer containers identifies the wine at the time of its removal from bond coverage and thereby helps to ensure that the correct Federal excise tax will be collected.

Emergency Justfication: The OMB approval of this information collection inadvertently lapsed due to the retirement of key personnel, and the non-approved status of this information collection was only recently discovered by replacement personnel. Emergency reinstatement of this information collection is required because this collection is included in 27 CFR 24.257, which will be proposed for amendment in a pending short-deadline rulemaking project.
