TTB uses the TTB F 5120.25, Application to Establish and Operate Wine Premises, to collect information used to determine the qualifications of an applicant applying to establish and operate a new wine premises.

We are now reporting 2,500 annual responses and 1,275 annual burden hours, a decrease of 1,400 annual responses and 500 annual burden hours.
