SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is correcting 
the proposed information collection notice it published in the Federal 
Register on June 9, 2011 at 76 FR 33811. Specifically, we are 
correcting the information in that notice regarding OMB No. 1513-0103, 
which appeared at 76 FR 33813 in the third column. Presently, the 
information collection approved under OMB No. 1513-0103 covers two bond 
forms, TTB F 5200.25, Tobacco Bond--Collateral, and TTB F 5200.26, 
Tobacco Bond--Surety. TTB is consolidating these two bond forms into 
one single bond form, TTB F 5200.29, Tobacco Bond, and this 
consolidation should have been reflected in the June 9, 2011, notice.
    Therefore, the Department of the Treasury and TTB, as part of their 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invite the 
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on the corrected 
information collection listed below in this notice, as required by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be included or 
summarized in our request for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
approval of the relevant information collection. All comments are part 
of the public record and subject to disclosure. Please not do include 
any confidential or inappropriate material in your comments.
    We invite comments on: (a) Whether this information collection is 
necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions, 
including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the information collection's 
burden; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information collected; (d) ways to minimize the information

collection's burden 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 the 
requested information.

Corrected Information Collection

    The text regarding the information collection approved under OMB 
No. 1513-0103, which appeared in the Federal Register on June 9, 2011, 
at 76 FR 33813, in the third column, beginning with the third 
paragraph, is corrected to read as follows:
    Title: Tobacco Bond.
    OMB Number: 1513-0103.
    TTB Form Number: 5200.29.
    Abstract: TTB requires a corporate surety bond or a collateral bond 
to ensure payment of the Federal excise tax on tobacco products and 
cigarette papers and tubes removed from the factory or warehouse. TTB F 
5200.29 will satisfy all bond requirements for tobacco industry 
members. Manufacturers of tobacco products or cigarette papers and 
tubes and proprietors of export warehouses, along with corporate 
sureties, are the respondents for this form. This form reduces the 
number of bond forms submitted by tobacco industry members and makes 
the use of a single bond form consistent with all other commodities 
that TTB regulates.
    Current Actions: We are submitting this information collection as a 
revision to consolidate our two current tobacco bond forms, TTB F 
5200.25 and TTB F 5200.26, into one form, TTB F 5200.29. This single 
form will be available on our Web site, and, in early 2012, tobacco 
industry members will be able to file this form electronically via 
TTB's Permits Online (PONL) system.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 66.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 86.

    Dated: July 27, 2011.
