Abstract: Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5214, denatured spirits (alcohol to which denaturants have been added to render it unfit for beverage purposes) may be withdrawn from distilled spirits plants free of tax for nonbeverage industrial purposes in the manufacture of certain personal and household products. Since it is possible to recover potable alcohol from denatured spirits and articles made with denatured spirits, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5271–5275 sets forth provisions regarding such spirits and articles. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR Part 20, Distribution and Use of Denatured Alcohol and Rum, require specially denatured spirits (SDS) dealers and nonbeverage product manufacturers that use or recover SDS to apply for and obtain a permit. Those part 20 regulations also require such permit holders, and non-permit holders that traffic in large quantities of completely denatured spirits (CDS), to submit letterhead applications or notices to TTB regarding certain changes to their permit information, use of alternate methods and emergency variations, adoption or use of certain formulas, losses in transit, and other specified matters. The collected information is necessary to implement the IRC's statutory provisions regarding denatured spirits and protect the revenue.
