SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)

    Title: Distilled Spirits Plants--Records and Monthly Reports of 
Processing Operations, TTB REC 5110/03.

    OMB Control Number: 1513-0041.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Distilled spirits, other than those used for certain 
authorized nonbeverage purposes, are taxed at a rate of $13.50 a proof 
gallon. Pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 5207, the proprietor of a distilled 
spirits plant must maintain records of production, storage, 
denaturation, and processing activities and submit reports covering 
those operations. The TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require 
distilled spirit proprietors to keep records regarding processing 
operations, and processing records must also be maintained for any 
wholesale liquor dealer operations or taxpaid storeroom operations 
conducted by a proprietor. In addition, the TTB regulations at 27 CFR 
19.632 require proprietors to file a monthly report of processing 
operations on TTB F 5110.28. The information collected accounts for the 
processing of distilled spirits, and TTB uses the information to 
monitor proprietor activities to ensure appropriate taxes are paid. The 
information is also aggregated and

provided publicly through statistical reports.
    Form: TTB F 5110.28.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 54,624.
    Title: Principal Place of Business Address and Place of Production 
Coding on Beer and Malt Beverage Labels, TTB REC 5130/5.

    OMB Control Number: 1513-0085.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code at 26 
U.S.C. 5412 and the Federal Alcohol Administration Act at 27 U.S.C. 
205(e), the TTB regulations require the name and address of the brewer 
to appear on labels of kegs, bottles, and cans of domestic beer. In the 
case of a brewer that operates multiple breweries, the TTB regulations 
allow the brewer to label their beer containers with their ``principal 
place of business,'' provided that the brewer codes each beer container 
to indicate the actual place of production. This option allows multi-
plant brewers to use an identical, universal label at all of their 
breweries.
    Form: None.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1.

    Title: Application for Registration for Tax-Free Firearms and 
Ammunition Transactions Under 26 U.S.C. 4221.

    OMB Control Number: 1513-0095.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 4181 imposes a 
Federal excise tax on the sale of pistols and revolvers, other 
firearms, shells and cartridges (ammunition) sold by manufacturers, 
producers, and importers. Under 26 U.S.C. 4221, no tax is imposed on 
certain sales of firearms and ammunition, provided that the seller and 
purchaser of the articles (with certain exceptions) are registered as 
required by 26 U.S.C. 4222. Section 4222 further provides that the 
Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe regulations regarding the 
manner, forms, terms, and conditions of registration. The TTB 
regulation at 27 CFR 53.140 prescribes the use of TTB F 5300.28 (or its 
electronic equivalent) as the application to obtain an approved 
Certificate of Registry to sell or purchase firearms and ammunition tax 
free. TTB uses the form to determine if the respondent is qualified to 
engage in tax-free sales. In addition, registrants may make certain 
amendments to the information provided on the form by letterhead 
notice.
    Form: TTB F 5300.28.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 300.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

    Dated: April 24, 2017.

Treasury PRA Clearance Officer.
