Abstract: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 6061, any return, statement, or other document required to be made under the internal revenue laws or regulations “shall be signed in accordance with forms or regulations” prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Issued under that section’s authority, but not specifically required by the TTB regulations, corporations and limited liability companies (LLCs) use TTB F 5100.1 or its electronic equivalent to identify specific corporate or LLC officials or employees, by name or by position title, authorized by the entity’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, or governing officials to act on behalf of, or sign documents for, the entity in TTB matters. This information collection is necessary to ensure that only duly authorized individuals sign documents submitted to TTB on behalf of corporations or LLCs.

Short Statement: As for adjustments, TTB is increasing the estimated number of annual respondents and responses to this information collection from 2,200 to 5,300 and is increasing the estimated annual burden hours from 502 to 1,056. These increases are due to growth in the overall number of businesses regulated by TTB. In addition, TTB previously reported TTB F 5100.1 and its “Electronic submission” equivalent (made via TTB’s Permits Online (PONL) system) as separate information collections under this information collection request. However, because these two instruments collect the same information—the names or position titles of officials authorized to act for corporations or LLCs in TTB matters—TTB is consolidating these two collection instruments under the same information collection as part of this information collection request. There are no changes to the two information collection instruments. Also, for clarity, we are revising the title of this information collection request from “Signing Authority for Corporate Officials” to “Signing Authority for Corporate and LLC Officials.”
