DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Proposed Collection; 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 Miscellaneous Requests and Notices for Distilled Spirits Plants.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before January 3, 
1997, to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco 
and Firearms, Linda Barnes, 650 Massachusetts Avenue, NW., Washington, 
DC 20226, (202) 927-8930.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the form(s) and instructions should be directed to Wine, Beer 
and Spirits Regulations Branch, Steve Simon, 650 Massachusetts Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20226, (202) 927-8183.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Miscellaneous Requests and Notices for Distilled Spirits 
Plants.
    OMB Number: 1512-0206.
    Form Number: ATF F 5110.41
    Abstract: The information provided by applicants assists ATF in 
determining eligibility and providing for registration. These 
eligibility requirements are for persons who wish to establish 
distilled spirits plant operations. However, both statutes and 
regulations allow variances from regulations, and this information 
gives data to permit a variance.
    Current Actions: This information collection is being submitted as 
an extension with changes. Upon approval of this collection, ATF F 
5110.34 is being eliminated, and some of the burden formerly associated 
with that form is being taken up by letterhead notices under this 
submission. Also, some requirements are being shifted from the 
submission of a prescribed ATF form to the submission of letterhead 
applications or notices. The net effect will be an increase of 50 
burden hours for 1512-0206.
    Type of Review: Extension with changes.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 328.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,620.
    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. Comments are invited 
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) 
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
