Abstract:
The Internal Revenue Code, at 26 U.S.C. 5101 and 5179, authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary) to issue regulations requiring manufacturers of stills to submit notices regarding the manufacture and set up of stills, and it requires all persons to register any stills in their possession with the Secretary and provide information as to the location, type, capacity, ownership, and the purpose for which the stills will be used. Under those authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 29 require manufacturers and vendors of stills and distilling apparatus to provide certain notices and keep certain records regarding the manufacture and setup of such equipment. In addition, those regulations require owners of still and distilling apparatus to register such equipment with TTB and provide certain notices regarding changes in the ownership, location, or disposal of such registered equipment. TTB uses the collected information to ensure that the relevant provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied and to protect the revenue as distilled spirits are generally subject to Federal excise tax under the IRC.

Short Statement:
There are no program changes associated with this information collection at this time, and TTB is submitting for extension purposes only. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is increasing the estimated number of annual respondents to this information collection, from 10 to 20, resulting in an increase of the total number of annual responses, from 40 to 80 (the number of responses-per-respondent remains 4 annually). Also, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is now reporting that this collection’s 1 hour of burden per response includes both reporting (0.75 hour) and recordkeeping (0.25 hour) elements. While still manufacturers and vendors may use usual and customary business records to maintain the required still-related information, which does not impose an burden on respondents per the OMB regulations to 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(20, this collection also requires the keeping of record copies of the still-related letterhead notices submitted to TTB, which are not considered usual and customary business records.
