Abstract: This recordkeeping and reporting requirement concerns the records which must be maintained by the importer as well as the letterhead applications and notices required to be submitted to TTB. The records are used by TTB to verify that operations are being conducted in compliance with the law and to ensure that all taxes and duties have been paid on imported spirits, thus protecting the revenue.

Short Statement: The International Trade Data System (ITDS) is an interagency program to establish an electronic “single window” through which importers and exporters may submit electronically the data required by Federal government agencies for clearing imports or exports. Section 405 of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Port Act) (Pub. L. 109–347) mandates participation in ITDS by all agencies that require documentation for clearing or licensing the importation and exportation of cargo Currently, importers and exporters that are regulated by multiple agencies or that import or export commodities regulated by multiple agencies must submit data to those agencies through various channels, often in paper form. Through the implementation of ITDS, data will be entered into the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and then made available to each government agency. To implement the SAFE Port Act and E.O. 13659, TTB is issuing a proposed rule titled “Amendments to Streamline Importation of Distilled Spirits, Wine, Beer, Malt Beverages, Tobacco Products, Processed Tobacco, and Cigarette Papers and Tubes and Facilitate Use of the International Trade Data System” (Notice No. 159), which will amend the TTB regulations governing the importation of distilled spirits, wine, beer and malt beverages, tobacco products, processed tobacco, and cigarette papers and tubes. The proposed amendments are intended to clarify and streamline import procedures, and support the implementation of ITDS and the filing of import information electronically in conjunction with an electronic import filing with CBP. The proposed amendments include providing the option for importers to file import-related data electronically when filing entry or entry summary data electronically with CBP, as an alternative to the current TTB requirements that importers submit paper documents to CBP upon importation. Under the proposed rule, the information collection approval for many of these electronic submissions will be placed under this OMB control number 1513–0064, Importer's Records and Reports (TTB REC 5170/1). These proposed amendments will result in an increase in the number of respondents, responses, and annual burden hours for this information collection.
