DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment 
Request

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of the Treasury, as part of its continuing 
effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)). Currently, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms 
within the Department of the Treasury is soliciting comments concerning 
the Application for Federal Alcohol Administration Act Basic Permit to 
Produce, Distill, Rectify, Blend, Bottle and Warehouse, Wholesale or 
Import.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before April 15, 1996 
to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESS: Direct all written comments to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and 
Firearms, Linda Barnes, 650 Massachusetts Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 
20226, (202) 927-7768.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the form(s) and instructions should be directed to Robert 
Ruhf, Tax Compliance Branch, 650 Massachusetts Avenue, NW., Washington, 
DC 20226, (202) 927-8220.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Application for Federal Alcohol Administration Act Basic 
Permit to Produce, Distill, Rectify, Blend, Bottle and Warehouse, 
Wholesale or Import.
    OMB Number: 1512-0089.
    Form Number: ATF F 5100.24.
    Abstract: ATF F 5100.24 is completed by persons intending to engage 
in the business involving beverage alcohol operations at distilled 
spirits plants and bonded wineries. The information allows ATF to 
identify the applicant and the location of the business and to 
determine whether the applicant qualifies for a basic permit under the 
Federal Alcohol Administration Act.
    Current Actions: The revision proposed for ATF F 5100.24 eliminates 
a number of information collection items, clarifies instructions and 
simplifies filing. As a result, we expect that it will take about one-
third less time for applicants to complete.
    Type of Review: Revision.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 300.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 2 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 600.

Request for Comments

    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will 
become a matter of public record. Written comments should address the 
accuracy of the burden estimates and ways to minimize burden including 
the use of automated collection techniques or the use of other forms of 
information technology, as well as other relevant aspects of the 
information collection request.

    Dated: February 6, 1996.
John W. Magaw,
Director.
