The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5001 sets forth, in general, the Federal excise tax rates for distilled spirits produced in or imported into the United States. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5207 also requires distilled spirit plant (DSP) proprietors to maintain records of production, storage, denaturation, and processing activities and to render reports covering those operations, as the Secretary of Treasury prescribes by regulation. The TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require DSP proprietors to keep records regarding the materials used to produce distilled spirits, the amount of spirits produced, the withdrawal of spirits from the production account, and the production of spirits byproducts, which must be maintained for at least 3 years. Based on those records, the part 19 regulations also require DSP proprietors to submit monthly reports of production operations using TTB F 5110.40. This collection is necessary to protect the revenue as TTB uses the collected information to account for the amount of distilled spirits produced at a DSP, and to determine the proprietor's resulting excise tax liability and the amount of bond coverage needed, if such coverage is required.

There are no program changes associated with this information collection. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the annual estimated burden associated with this information collection, from 1,600 respondents, 19,200 responses, and 38,400 burden hours, to 2,500 respondents, 30,000 responses, and 60,000 burden hours. The increase in respondents, and the related increases in annual responses and burden hours, is due to continued growth in the number of active distilled spirits plants in the United States, particularly in the number of small âcraftâ spirits producers.
