The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5721 requires manufacturers of tobacco products and processed tobacco to complete an inventory at the commencement of business, the conclusion of business, and at any other time the Secretary by regulation prescribes. Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5741, these manufacturers are also required to keep records and make them available for inspection in the manner the Secretary by regulation prescribes. Under these authorities, the TTB regulations require manufacturers of tobacco products and processed tobacco to provide inventories on TTB F 5210.9 at the commencement of business, the conclusion of business, when changes in business ownership or location occur, and at any other time as directed by the appropriate TTB officer. This information is necessary to protect the revenue. TTB F 5210.9 provides a uniform format for recording certain inventories, which TTB uses to ensure that a manufacturerâs Federal excise tax is correctly determined.

There are no program changes associated with this collection. As for adjustments, based on recent data from TTB staff involved in processing tobacco-related inventory reports, TTB is decreasing the estimated number of annual respondents to this information collection from 250 to 100, which results in a corresponding decrease in annual responses from 250 to 100, and a decrease in total estimated annual burden hours from 500 to 200. TTB has found that not all tobacco product and processed tobacco manufacturers are required to complete an inventory each year, as has been previously reported.
