Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5171 and 5172, provides that an application to register a distilled spirits plant (DSP) must be made in conformity with regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury, while 26 U.S.C. 5201 requires DSPs to operate in conformity with such regulations. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5312 also authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations regarding the use of distilled spirits by certain educational and scientific institutions for experimental or research use, and that section authorizes the establishment and regulation of experimental DSPs. Under those authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 19 prescribe the use of TTB F 5110.41 to register a DSP or to make certain amendments to an existing DSP registration. The TTB regulations in part 19 also require DSP operators to submit various miscellaneous notices or requests to vary their operations from the requirements of that part. In addition, the regulations in part 19 require persons who are neither registered DSPs nor applicants for registration to submit applications or notices related to certain distilled spirits activities, such as the establishment of an experimental DSP or the use of spirits for research purposes. The required information assists TTB in determining a person’s eligibility to establish and operate a DSP, whether a variance from TTB’s regulatory requirements should be approved, and whether non-DSP entities are eligible to engage in certain distilled spirits-related activities.

Short Statement: There are no program changes associated with this information collection request. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is reporting an increase in the number of annual respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with this information collection, from 2,300 respondents to 3,600, from 2,950 responses to 4,300, and from 4,386 hours to 7,330. These increases are due to an increase in the number of distilled spirits plants registered with TTB, which is largely due to an increase in the number of small "craft" distilleries now operating in the United States.
