Abstract: Under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 5181(a)(1), persons wishing to establish a distilled spirits plant for the sole purpose of producing and receiving distilled spirits for fuel use must provide an application and bond as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe by regulation. Under this authority, TTB has issued regulations concerning the establishment of such alcohol fuel plants (AFPs). These regulations require, among other things, that a person wishing to establish an AFP must submit an application for an alcohol fuel producer permit using form TTB F 5110.74. This application form and its required supporting documents describe, among other things, the person(s) applying for the permit, the proposed AFP’s location, its stills and the type(s) of materials to be distilled, the size category of the operation (small, medium, or large) based on the annual amount of alcohol fuel to be produced, and the security measures to be taken to protect the spirits from diversion and theft. The application also must include a diagram of the plant premises. In addition, existing alcohol fuel producer permit holders use TTB F 5110.74 to make certain amendments to their permit information. The information required on the alcohol fuel producer permit application is necessary to protect the revenue since, when first produced, distilled spirits made at AFPs are potable and are thus subject could to the Federal distilled spirits excise tax of $13.50 per proof gallon imposed by the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5001. Only when denatured for fuel use as required by 26 U.S.C. 5181(e) may spirits be withdrawn from the AFP free of tax, as authorized by 26 U.S.C. 5214(a)(12).
