SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury

    Title: Recordkeeping for Tobacco Products Removed in Bond from a 
Manufacturer's Premises for Experimental Purposes--27 CFR 40.232(e).
    OMB Control Number: 1513-0110.
    Abstract: The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5704(a) provides that manufacturers 
of tobacco products may remove tobacco products for experimental 
purposes without payment of Federal excise tax, as prescribed by 
regulation. Under that authority, the TTB regulations at 27 CFR 
40.232(e) require the keeping of certain usual and customary business 
records regarding the description, shipment, use, and disposition of 
tobacco products removed for experimental purposes outside of the 
factory. These records are subject to TTB inspection and are necessary 
to protect the revenue, as they allow TTB to account for the lawful 
experimental use and disposition of nontax paid tobacco products, and 
to detect diversion of such products into the domestic market.
    Current Actions: There are no program changes or adjustments 
associated with this information collection, and TTB is submitting it 
for extension purposes only.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 235.
    Average Responses per Respondent: 1 (one).
    Number of Responses: 235.
    Average Per-Response and Total Burden: As this information 
collection consists of usual and customary records kept by respondents 
during the normal course of business, under 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2), there 
is no additional burden on respondents associated with this information 
collection.
    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
