SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)

    Title: Marks on Equipment and Structures (TTB REC 5130/3), and 
Marks and Labels on Containers of Beer (TTB REC 5130/4).
    OMB Control Number: 1513-0086.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Description: Under the authority of chapter 51 of the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC, 26 U.S.C. chapter 51), the 
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR 
part 25, Beer, require brewers to place certain marks, signs, and 
measuring devices on their equipment and structures, and to place 
certain brands, labels, and marks on bulk and consumer containers of 
beer and other brewery products. The required information allows TTB to 
identify the use, capacity, and contents of brewery equipment and 
structures, as well as identify taxable brewery products and the 
responsible taxpayer. As such, the required information is necessary to 
protect the revenue and ensure effective administration of the IRC's 
provisions regarding brewery operations and products. The required 
information also allows other industry member and the general public to 
identify the contents of bulk and consumer containers of beer and other 
brewery products. However, for the purposes of inventory control, cost 
accounting, equipment utilization, and product identification, TTB 
believes the placement by brewers of the required information on their 
equipment and structures, and on their bulk and consumers containers of 
beer and other brewery products is a usual and customary practice under 
taken during the normal course of business, regardless of any TTB 
regulatory requirements to do so.
    Form: None.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10,000.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 10,000.
    Estimated Time per Response: None. There is no annual burden 
associated with the usual and customary placement by brewers of marks 
and labels on brewery structures, equipment, and product containers 
during the normal course of business.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Zero.
    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

    Dated: March 24, 2020.
