Abstract:
To regulate interstate and foreign commerce in distilled spirits, wine, and malt beverages, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act; 27 U.S.C. 201 et seq.) requires certain alcohol beverage industry members to obtain a permit from the Secretary of the Treasury, and it prohibits unfair trade practices, deceptive advertising and labeling of alcohol beverages, and interlocking directorates. Under the FAA Act at 27 U.S.C. 207, violations of the Act are subject to civil and criminal penalties, but the Secretary is authorized to accept monetary compromise for such alleged violations. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations allow a proponent or their agent to submit a monetary offer in compromise to resolve alleged FAA Act violations using form TTB F 5640.2. The form identifies the proponent, the alleged FAA Act violation(s), the amount of the compromise offer, and the reason(s) why TTB should accept the offer. TTB uses the collected information to evaluate the adequacy of the compromise offer in relation to the alleged violation(s) of the FAA Act and to determine if it should accept the offer or pursue civil penalties or criminal prosecution against the alleged violator.

Short Statement:
There are no program changes associated with this information collection request at this time, and TTB is submitting it for extension purposes only. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates, TTB is decreasing the estimated annual respondent burden associated with this collection, from 20 respondents to 10, from 20 total responses to 10, and the total annual burden from 40 hours to 20. The per-response burden of 2 hours remains the same as previously reported. These adjustments result from a decrease in the number of respondents submitting FAA Act-based offers in compromise to TTB. In addition, due to changes in agency estimates resulting from more complete data, TTB is revising the Federal Government labor costs associated with this information collection request to more accurately reflect how this collection is processed within TTB.
