SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)

    1. Title: Authorization to Furnish Financial Information and 
Certificate of Compliance.
    OMB Control Number: 1513-0004.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Description: Under its statutory and regulatory authorities, during 
an alcohol or tobacco permit investigation, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax 
and Trade Bureau (TTB) may require such applicants to show that they 
have the financial standing necessary to conduct their operations in 
compliance with Federal law. However, the Right to Financial Privacy 
Act of 1978 (the Act; 12 U.S.C. 3401 et seq.) limits the Federal 
Government's access to the records of individuals held by financial 
institutions. The Act provides that a person may authorize a financial 
institution to disclose their individual records to a Federal agency, 
but it also requires the agency to certify to the institution that the 
agency has complied with the Act. To meet the Act's requirements, a 
permit applicant uses TTB F 5030.6 to authorize a financial institution 
to disclose their individual records to TTB, and TTB uses the form to 
certify to the institution that the agency has complied with the Act.
    Form: TTB F 5030.6.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 240.
    Frequency of Response: On Occasion.
    Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 240.
    Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 60.
    2. Title: Records Supporting Drawback Claims on Eligible Articles 
Brought into the United States from Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands.
    OMB Control Number: 1513-0089.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Description: Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 
7652(g), the provisions of 26 U.S.C. 5111-5114 providing for drawback 
(refund) of Federal excise taxes paid on distilled spirits used in 
certain nonbeverage products--medicines, medicinal preparations, food 
products, flavors, flavoring extracts, and perfumes--also apply to such 
articles brought into the United States from Puerto Rico or the U.S. 
Virgin Islands. In particular, 26 U.S.C. 5112 requires nonbeverage 
product drawback claimants to keep the records necessary to document 
the information provided in such claims, subject to regulations 
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Based on those IRC 
authorities, the TTB regulations at 27 CFR 26.174 and 26.310 require 
persons making nonbeverage product drawback claims on eligible articles 
brought into the United States from Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin 
Islands to keep certain business, formula, and taxpayment records 
documenting the data regarding the distilled spirits and articles in 
question provided in such claims. Those persons must maintain the 
required records at their business premises for at least 3 years, 
during which time TTB may inspect the records to verify the data 
provided in their claims. TTB's verification of such nonbeverage 
product drawback claims is necessary to protect the revenue and ensure 
compliance with relevant statutory and regulatory requirements.
    Form: None.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 10.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 10.


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