Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5351 through 5357, provides for the establishment of bonded wine cellars, bonded wineries, and taxpaid wine bottling houses and, to establish such wine premises, these IRC sections require the filing of applications and bonds as required by regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has issued TTB F 5120.25, Application to Establish and Operate Wine Premises, to collect information that it uses to determine the qualifications under the IRC of an applicant applying to establish and operate a new wine premises. Proprietors of established wine premises also use TTB F 5120.25 to report changes to certain required information such as location and ownership. Wine premises proprietors use TTB F 5120.36, Wine Bond, to file bond coverage with TTB, unless they are exempt from the bond requirement as described in the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5551(d). The bond may be secured through a surety company, or it may be secured with collateral (Treasury securities or notes or by cash). The required bond protects the revenue by ensuring payment of delinquent Federal wine excise tax liabilities. In a proposed rule titled “Modernization of Permit Application Requirements for Wine Premises,” TTB is proposing deregulatory amendments to its regulations to modernize and streamline the requirements for the Application to Establish and Operate Wine Premises information collection contained under this information collection request, which is approved under OMB control number 1513–0009. The proposed amendments also relax some reporting requirements associated with changes to the business of a wine premises proprietor that currently require the filing of an amended wine premises application. The proposed amendments are intended to reduce the overall respondent burden associated with the wine premises application information collection. (The Wine Bond portion of this information collection request is not affected by the proposed rule.) In addition, the proposed amendments will allow respondents additional flexibilities under the wine-related letterhead notice and wine-related recordkeeping information collections, approved under OMB control numbers 1513–0057, and 1513–0115, respectively.

Short Statement: As described above in Question 1, in the proposed rule described above, TTB proposes deregulatory amendments to its regulations to streamline the requirements for new and amended wine premises applications. The TTB proposals also relax certain reporting requirements associated with changes to the business or operations of a wine premises proprietor that currently require the filing of an amended wine premises application. The proposed amendments are intended to reduce the overall respondent burden associated with the wine premises application information collection. As a result of the proposed program changes described above, TTB believes that the respondent burden associated with the Application to Establish and Operate Wine Premises information collection will be reduced as follows: (1) While the estimated number of annual responses-per-respondent will remain at one each, the estimated number of annual respondents and responses to that information collection will decrease from 4,640 to 4,000; (2) the estimated per-response burden will decrease from 1 hour (60 minutes) to 0.75 hour (45 minutes); and (3) the estimated total annual burden hours will decrease from 4,640 hours to 3,000, an overall decrease of 1,640 hours.
