Abstract: Provisions of chapters 51 and 52 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC, 26 U.S.C. chapters 51 and 52) and the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act; 27 U.S.C. 201 et seq.) require all persons who desire to engage in certain alcohol and tobacco activities to obtain a permit or registration from, or file a notice with, the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary) before beginning operations. The IRC and FAA Act also provide that an applicant is not eligible for such approvals if the Secretary finds that the applicant, including company officers, directors, or principal investors, has certain criminal convictions or is not likely to lawfully operate. Under its delegated IRC and FAA Act authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR chapter I authorize the collection of information from applicants so that TTB can determine if they meet the statutory and regulatory qualifications to hold alcohol and tobacco permits, registrations, or notices. To assist TTB in making such determinations, applicants use form TTB F 5000.9, Personnel Questionnaire—Alcohol and Tobacco, or its electronic equivalent, to provide TTB with information regarding their identity, business history, and criminal record.
