The TTB regulations require applicants for alcohol and tobacco permits to provide certain information regarding the money used to finance the business. The Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (the Act; 12 U.S.C. 3401 et seq.) limits government access to records held by financial institutions, provides for certain procedures to gain access to such information, and requires that government agencies certify to a financial institution that the agency has complied with all provisions of the Act. To comply with the requirements of the Act, TTB F 5030.6 acts as both a customer authorization to their financial institution providing TTB with the authority to receive the customerâs financial information and as the required certification by TTB to the financial institution that it has complied with the Actâs provisions.
As an adjustment, we are revising the burden estimate to reflect a decrease in the number of respondents who complete TTB F 5030.6 and the resulting burden hours due to a decrease in the number of permit application investigations conducted by TTB that require access to records concerning applicants held by financial institutions.
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);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
