Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5367 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations requiring the keeping of records and the filing of returns related to wine cellar and bottling house operations. Section 5555 of the IRC also generally requires any person liable for tax under chapter 51 of the IRC to keep records, provide statements, and make returns as the Secretary prescribes by regulation. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB wine regulations in 27 CFR part 24 require wine premises proprietors to file periodic operations reports on form TTB F 5120.17. TTB uses the collected information to verify excise tax liabilities and ensure that respondents operate wine premises in accordance with applicable Federal law and regulations. TTB also uses this report to collect raw data on wine premises activity for its generalized monthly statistical report on wine operations, which TTB makes public on its website.

Short Statement: There are no program changes associated with this information collection at this time. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the estimated number of annual respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with this collection, from 6,043 respondents to 12,200, from 31,555 responses to 52,870, and from 34,710 hours to 58,157. The increase in the number of respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with this information collection is due to continued growth in the number of small winery premises in the United States. In addition, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is decreasing the average number of annual responses submitted per respondent, from approximately 5.22 per respondent to 4.33. The decrease results from the increasing number of respondents filing wine operations reports or an annual or quarterly basis, as authorized by the TTB regulations at 27 CFR 24.300(g)(2).
