Abstract: Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5051, Federal excise tax is imposed on beer removed from domestic breweries for consumption or sale, but under 26 U.S.C. 5053, brewers may remove beer without payment of tax for export purposes, subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. As such, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow brewers to remove beer without payment of tax for export to a foreign county, use as supplies on certain vessels or aircraft, transfer to a foreign trade zone for export, or shipment to U.S. armed forces stationed overseas. Those regulations also require brewers to give notice of each such removal on form TTB F 5130.12, or brewers may apply to TTB to use an alternative procedure to report beer removed for export purposes via a monthly summary report, provided that the brewer completes the notification section of TTB F 5130.12 for each removal and maintains the form and the related supporting export verification records at their premises. TTB uses the required information to account for beer removed without payment of tax for export purposes and ensure that such beer is not diverted into the taxable domestic market.

Short Statement: There are no program changes associated with this information collection request at this time, and TTB is submitting it only for extension purposes. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is decreasing the number of annual respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with this information collection as result of a decrease in the number of respondents submitting TTB F 5130.12 paper forms (from 200 respondents to 180; from 2,000 responses to 1,800, and from 3,300 hours to 2,970). The number of respondents submitting monthly summary reports remains as previously reported (100). This results in an overall decrease in the estimated annual burden hours for this collection, from 10,500 hours to 10,170.
