Abstract:
Chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC; 26 U.S.C. chapter 51) governs the production, classification, and taxation of alcohol products, and the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 205(e) requires alcohol beverage labels to provide consumers with adequate information as to the identity and quality of alcohol beverages. Each statute also authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations related to such activities. As such, the TTB regulations require alcohol beverage producers and importers to obtain formula approval for certain non-standard or non-traditional products to ensure that such products are properly classified for excise tax purposes under the IRC and properly labeled under the FAA Act. Currently, in lieu of the formula forms and letterhead notices specified in the TTB regulations for each alcohol commodity (distilled spirits, wine, and beer/malt beverages), which are approved under separate OMB control numbers, respondents, as an alternate procedure, may submit TTB F 5100.51 or its electronic equivalent in Formulas Online (FONL), as approved under this OMB control number.
