Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5111â5114 and 7652(g), persons using distilled spirits to produce medicines, medicinal preparations, food products, flavors, flavoring extracts, or perfume may claim drawback (refund) of all but $1.00 per proof gallon of the Federal excise tax paid on the distilled spirits used to make such nonbeverage products, subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. As required by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 17 and 26, when submitting nonbeverage product drawback claims to TTB, respondents are required to report certain supporting data regarding the distilled spirits used and the products produced using form TTB F 5154.2. TTB uses the collected information to ensure that drawback of Federal excise tax is provided only to eligible entities.
There are no program changes to this information collection at this time, and TTB is submitting it for extension purposes only. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is decreasing this collectionâs estimated number of annual respondents (from 500 to 280), total number of annual responses (from 2,000 to 1,736), and total annual burden hours (from 1,933 to 1,678). However, TTB is increasing the estimated average number of annual responses per respondent, from 4 to 6.2. The average burden per response, 58 minutes, remains the same as previously reported.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
