SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)

    Title: Importer's Records and Reports.
    OMB Control Number: 1513-0064.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Description: Pursuant to chapters 51 and 52 of the Internal Revenue 
Code (IRC, 26 U.S.C.) and the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA 
Act, 27 U.S.C. 201 et seq.), TTB regulates, among other things, the 
importation of alcohol and tobacco products. Under those statutory 
authorities, TTB has issued regulations in 27 CFR requiring importers 
of alcohol and tobacco products to provide certain information 
regarding their identity, TTB-issued permits, the identity and amount 
products imported, and the taxes paid on those products or, for 
products released from customs custody without payment of tax, the 
transfer of such products to a bonded facility. TTB also uses the 
collected information to ensure that imported alcohol beverage labels 
comply with FAA Act labeling requirements. Under this information 
collection, importers generally submit the required information 
electronically to Customs and Border Protection during the import entry 
process, and the required information is then electronically 
transmitted to TTB. In addition, importers may submit letterhead 
applications to TTB to request variances from established regulatory 
provisions. The collected import data and letterhead variance 
information are necessary to protect the revenue and ensure that 
importers comply with Federal laws and regulations regarding alcohol 
and tobacco products or that proposed alternatives will not pose a 
burden to TTB in administrating its import regulations.
