Abstract: The Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act), at 27 U.S.C. 203, requires that a person apply for and receive a permit, known as a “basic permit,” to: (1) Import distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages into the United States; (2) distill spirits or produce wine, rectify or blend distilled spirits or wine, or bottle and/or warehouse distilled spirits; or (3) purchase distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages for resale at wholesale. The FAA Act, at 27 U.S.C. 204, also imposes certain requirements for basic permits and authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to prescribe the manner and form of all applications for basic permits. The TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 1 provide for the amendment of an existing basic permit using form TTB F 5100.18 when changes occur to the name, trade name, address, ownership, management, or control of the business. The collected information allows TTB to determine if applicants for amended basic permits meet the FAA Act’s statutory eligibility criteria to hold a basic permit.

Short Statement: There are no program changes associated with this collection, and TTB is submitting it for OMB approval only for extension purposes. 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. These increases are due to continued growth in the overall number of FAA Act basic permit holders in the United States and growth in the number of existing permit holders submitting amended permit applications. Specifically, TTB is increasing the number of annual respondents and responses from 8,550 to 14,000 each, which results in an increase in the estimated total annual burden, from 3,278 hours to 4,807 hours. TTB notes that with the increased use of electronic submission by respondents via PONL, from 75 percent in 2020 to 94 percent currently, the average per-response time for this collection has decreased from 22.5 minutes to 20.6 minutes. The increase in the use of PONL has also caused a decrease in total respondent mailing costs for this information collection request.
