Abstract: The FAA Act, at 27 U.S.C. 203, requires that a person apply for and receive a permit, known as a “basic permit,” to engage in the business of importing distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages into the United States; to engage in the business of distilling spirits or producing wine, rectifying or blending distilled spirits or wine, or bottling and/or warehousing distilled spirits; or to engage in the business of purchasing for resale at wholesale, distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages. The FAA Act, at 27 U.S.C. 204, also imposes certain requirements for basic permits and authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to prescribe the manner and form of all applications for basic permits. Under that authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 1 require basic permit holders to apply for an amended permit using form TTB F 5100.18 when changes occur in the name, trade name, or address of the permitted business. The regulations also require that a permittee immediately notify TTB of any change in ownership, management, or control of the permitted business, which may be done using TTB F 5100.18. (Such applications and notifications also may be submitted via TTB's electronic Permits Online (PONL) system.) The collected information assists TTB in determining whether an applicant for an amended basic permit meets the criteria for eligibility for such a permit under the FAA Act.

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 number of annual respondents and responses to this information collection from 2,700 to 3,040, an increase of 340 respondents and responses. These increases are due to growth in the number of alcohol beverage businesses regulated by TTB under the FAA Act, which results in an increase in the number of basic permit holders and a corresponding increase in the number of respondents submitting applications for amended basic permits. However, despite the growth in the number annual of respondents and responses, TTB notes that the estimated annual burden hours for this information collection has decreased from 1,255 to 1,170, a decrease of 85 hours. This decrease is due to the larger percentage of respondents that use TTB’s Permits Online (PONL) system to complete and submit an application for an amended basic permit, which takes an estimated 10 fewer minutes per response than the paper form. With the increased use of PONL by respondents, from 26 percent of all amended permit applicants in 2014 to 69 percent currently, the average per-response time for this collection has dropped from 27.888 minutes (0.4648 hours) to 23.092 minutes (0.3847 hours).
