SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)

    1. 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: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Description: Under the authority of the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5412 and 
the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 205(e), 
the TTB regulations require consumer containers of beer to be marked 
with the name and address of the brewer. In the case of brewers that 
operate multiple breweries, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR parts 7 and 
25 allow brewers to label beer containers with their principal place of 
business, provided that the brewer also places a code on each beer 
container indicating its actual place of production. This option allows 
multi-plant brewers to use an identical, universal label at all of 
their breweries. The labeling of beer containers with the producer's 
name and place of production is a usual and customary business practice 
undertaken by brewers to identify their products to consumers and 
facilitate recall of adulterated products. In addition, TTB uses the 
required information to verify tax refund claims for the loss or 
destruction of beer.
    Form: None.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 430.
    Frequency of Response: An average of 2.58 responses per respondent.
    Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 1,110.
    Estimated Time per Response: None. (Under the OMB regulations 5 CFR 
1320.3(b)(2), regulatory requirements to maintain usual and customary 
records kept during the normal course of business place no burden on 
respondents as defined in the Paperwork Reduction Act.).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: None.
    2. Title: Petitions to Establish or Modify American Viticultural 
Areas.
    OMB Control Number: 1513-0127.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Description: The FAA Act at 27 U.S.C. 205(e) authorizes the 
Secretary to prescribe regulations for the labeling of wine, distilled 
spirits, and malt beverages. The FAA Act provides that these 
regulations should, among other things, prohibit consumer deception and 
the use of misleading statements on labels and ensure that labels 
provide the consumer with adequate information as to the identity and 
quality of the product. Under that authority, TTB regulates the use of 
appellations of origin on wine labels, including the use of American 
viticultural area (AVA) names. In response to petitions submitted by 
interested parties, TTB establishes new AVAs or modifies existing AVAs 
through the rulemaking process. The TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 9 
specify the information to be included in such petitions. TTB uses the 
provided information to evaluate a petitioner's proposal and draft 
rulemaking for public comment for creating a new AVA or amending the 
name, boundary, or other terms of an existing AVA.
    Form: None.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 15.
