Abstract:
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5704(b) provides that a manufacturer or export warehouse proprietor may, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary, transfer tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, without payment of tax, to the bonded premises of another such entity, or may remove such articles, without payment of tax, for export or consumption beyond the jurisdiction of the internal revenue laws of the United States. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5722 requires that manufacturers of tobacco product and cigarette papers and tubes and export warehouse proprietors make reports as the Secretary may by regulation require. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 44 require manufacturers and export warehouse proprietors to report each such removal to TTB on form TTB F 5200.14, or, under the alternate procedure described in TTB Industry Circular 2004-3, respondents may submit a Monthly Summary Report of such removals provided that the export of each removal is documented by records maintained at the respondent's premises. Respondents also submit letterhead notices to modify certain information on previously-submitted TTB F 5200.1 forms, and they also submit letterhead applications to request TTB authorization to use the alternative Monthly Summary Report procedure. The collected information allows TTB to account for removals of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes made without payment of tax and assists in preventing the diversion of such articles to otherwise taxable uses. As such, the collected information is necessary to protect the revenue.

Short Statement:
Program changes: Previously, TTB has reported only one information collection under this collection request; however, this did not make clear that respondents have two options for reporting removals of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, without payment of tax, for export purposes, and that certain matters require letterhead notices or applications be filed with TTB. Therefore, as a matter of agency discretion, and for purposes of transparency, TTB is dividing this collection request into three information collections to properly account for the two reporting options and their associated letterhead notices and applications contained under this information collection request: (1) Removals of Tobacco Products, Cigarette Papers and Tubes without Payment of Tax (containing the per-removal reports made to TTB on form TTB F 5200.14); (2) Tobacco Export Documentation and Monthly Summary Report Alternate Procedure under Industry Circular 2004–3 (containing the Monthly Summary Reports submitted to TTB, backed by export documentation maintained at a respondent’s premises); and (3) Letterhead Notices and Applications Related to Removals of Tobacco Products and Cigarette Papers and Tubes without Payment of Tax (containing the letterhead notices submitted to TTB to report modifications to consignment or shipping information on previously-submitted TTB F 5200.14 forms, and the letterhead applications submitted by respondents requesting permission to use the Monthly Summary Report alternate procedure). Therefore, due to the division of this collection request into three information collections, TTB is increasing the number of overall respondents to this collection request, from 280 to 292, and is reporting new burdens for the two new information collections. However, due to the use of the alternate Monthly Summary Report procedure by 80 of the 292 respondents to this information collection request, TTB is reporting significant decreases in the overall number of annual responses and burden hours for this request, from 61,600 responses and 61,600 hours to 5,772 responses and 11,532 hours.
