Tax-free alcohol is used for nonbeverage purposes in scientific research, for medicinal uses, and for other purposes by educational organizations, hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and similar institutions, and by State, local, and tribal governments. Use of tax-free alcohol is regulated to prevent illegal diversion to beverage use and for public safety. The applications, notices, and source records required by this information collection protect the revenue, help prevent and detect diversion, and ensure lawful use of tax-free alcohol.

There are no program changes associated with this collection. As for adjustments, TTB is decreasing the burden estimate for this information collection. In the past, TTB has reported the burden for this collection based on the assumption that all or the great majority of tax-fee alcohol user permit holders would file one letterhead application or notice per year. These permit holders currently number 4,986. However, recent experience and a computer inquiry shows that only a small portion of such permit holders annually file a letterhead application or notice approved under this information collection. Therefore, TTB is decreasing the estimated number of annual respondents and responses to 400 and the resulting annual burden hours to 200.
