Abstract:
As required by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5171(d), before beginning production or operations, persons who, for industrial use, intend to distill spirits, denature spirits, bottle or package, or warehouse spirits must apply for and obtain a distilled spirits plant (DSP) operating permit. That IRC section also requires persons who intend to manufacture articles using distilled spirits, and persons who intend to warehouse bulk spirits for non industrial use without bottling, to obtain a DSP operating permit. Each individual DSP requires an operating permit, which specifies its authorized activities. Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR Part 19, Distilled Spirits Plants, require persons to apply for, and receive an operating permit using form TTB F 5110.25 before beginning operations. The form identifies the name and principal business address of the applicant, the DSP’s location (if different from the business address), and the operations to be conducted at the plant. The form's instructions also require the applicant to submit a statement of business organization, information regarding the persons with significant interest in the business, and a list of trade names to be used in connection with the specified operations. Collection of this information by TTB is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to determine if an applicant is qualified under the IRC to receive an operating basic permit. This helps ensure that DSP proprietors are likely to operate their businesses in conformity with Federal laws and regulations, and limits the illicit manufacture and sale of non-taxpaid distilled spirits and/or the diversion of industrial alcohol to taxable beverage use.

Short Statement:
There are no program changes associated with this collection. As for adjustments, due to a change in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the estimated time to complete a response to this information collection from 15 minutes to one hour in order to properly account for the operating permit application’s supplemental information requirements, which are included as attachments to the TTB F 5110.25 form or the PONL operating permit applications. As part of their operating permit application, instructions 2(a) and (b) on TTB F 5110.25 and in PONL require respondents to provide TTB with a statement of business organization and of the persons interested in the business, along with a list of trade names used by the business in connection with the operations specified in the application. This will increase the estimated total burden for this information collection from 25 hours to 100 hours. The total number of annual respondents and responses to this collection remain the same as previously reported, 100 respondents each making one annual response.
