Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5401 requires brewers to file a notice of intent to operate a brewery, containing the information the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5411, 5412, 5414, 5415, and 5417, authorizes certain other uses of and operations at breweries under regulations issued the Secretary. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR Part 25, Beer, require new brewery applicants to submit TTB F 5130.10, Brewer’s Notice, which provides TTB with information similar to that collected on a permit application; require brewers to submit an amended Brewer's Notice when certain changes occur to the brewery's ownership, control, location, description, and bond or operating status; and require brewers to submit letterhead applications or notices regarding certain changes in brewery operations and the destruction, loss, or return of beer. The TTB part 25 regulations also require brewers to maintain a permanent file at their premises containing their Brewer's Notice, its incorporated supporting documents, and the related letterhead applications and notices, available for inspection by TTB officers. This information collection request is necessary to protect the revenue and ensure that brewers conduct their operations in compliance with relevant Federal laws and regulations.
