Abstract:
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 7805 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue all needful regulations to implement the IRC. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow alcohol exporters to apply for TTB approval of proposed alternate methods or procedures to, or emergency variances from, the requirements of that part, other than the giving of a bond or the payment of tax. Such applications provide alcohol exporters with operational flexibility and allow them to meet emergency circumstances. TTB review of such applications is necessary to determine that the proposed alternative or variance would not jeopardize the revenue, be contrary to any provisions of law, or unduly hinder the effective administration of the relevant TTB regulations.

Short Statement:
There are no program changes associated with this information collection. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is decreasing the per-respondent burden, from 36 minutes per response—divided between 24 minutes of reporting and 12 minutes of recordkeeping—to 30 minutes for reporting. This per-respondent burden estimate is consistent with other approved TTB letterhead application requirements. That per-respondent burden decrease results in a decrease of this collection’s estimated total annual burden, from 138 hours to 115. TTB notes that this information collection consists of letterhead applications submitted to TTB, and, as such, this collection is a reporting requirement. While respondents keep a copy of any approved letterhead application returned to them by TTB, the Bureau believes that maintaining an occasional approved application under this collection requirement is minimal and imposes no measurable burden on respondents.
