Abstract:
Various provisions of chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC; 26 U.S.C. chapter 51) govern aspects of the production, treatment, and labeling of natural and agricultural wine or authorize the Secretary of Treasury to issue regulations regarding such matters. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 24 require wine premise proprietors to submit letterhead applications or notices to TTB when they desire to use alternate regulatory compliance methods or procedures or when they desire to undertake certain specified operations, particularly those that affect the kind, tax rate, or volume of wine produced or removed. In general, operations posing a greater jeopardy to the revenue require submission of letterhead applications subject to TTB approval, while operations posing less jeopardy to the revenue require submission of letterhead notices that do not require TTB pre-approval. This information collection is necessary to ensure that proposed alternative methods or procedures and wine operations comply with relevant laws and regulations, and do not jeopardize the revenue or unduly burden TTB’s administration of 27 CFR part 24.

Short Statement:
There are no program changes associated with this information collection at this time. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the number of annual respondents, responses, and burden hours associated with this collection, from 1,650 respondents and responses to 2,000, and from 825 hours to 1,000. Those increases result from continued growth in the number of wine premises in the United States. (The estimated number of annual responses per respondent, one, and the estimated burden per-response, 0.5 hours, remain the same as previously reported.) TTB also is now accounting for the respondent mailing costs associated with this information collection.
