Formula and/or Process For Article Made With Specially Denatured Spirits

Key Information

Abstract

In general, under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5214, distilled spirits used in the manufacture of nonbeverage articles are not subject to Federal excise tax, and, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5273, persons who intend to produce such articles using specially denatured distilled spirits (SDS) must obtain prior approval of their formulas and manufacturing processes. For medicinal preparations and flavoring extracts intended for internal human use, that section also prohibits SDS from remaining in the finished articles. Therefore, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 20 require persons to file formula and process approval requests for articles made with SDS using TTB F 5150.19. To protect the revenue and ensure compliance with the IRC and TTB regulations, TTB personnel examine the collected information to verify that the described articles are nonbeverage products made in compliance with 26 U.S.C. 5273. TTB field personnel also may compare manufacturing records to approved formulas to verify that such articles are being made in accordance with their approved formulas and processes.

Recordkeeping for Tobacco Products Removed in Bond from a Manufacturer's Premises for Experimental Purposes -- 27 CFR 40.232(e)

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5704(a) provides that manufacturers of tobacco products (cigars, cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, pipe tobacco, and roll-your-own tobacco) may remove such products for experimental purposes without payment of Federal excise tax, as prescribed by regulation. Under that IRC authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations at 27 CFR 40.232(e) require tobacco product manufacturers to keep certain usual and customary business records documenting the amount, kind, recipient, use, and disposition of tobacco products removed for experimental purposes outside of a factory. These records, which are subject to TTB inspection. are necessary to protect the revenue as they allow TTB to account for the lawful use and disposition of nontaxpaid tobacco products removed from a factory and detect diversion of such products into the domestic market.

Inventory - Export Warehouse Proprietor

Key Information

Abstract

In general, chapter 52 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC, 26 U.S.C. chapter 52) imposes a Federal excise tax on all tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes manufactured in, or imported into, the United States, while exempting such articles removed for export, as well as all processed tobacco, from that tax. Export warehouses receive and store such non-taxpaid articles until they are removed without payment of tax for export to a foreign country, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, or for consumption beyond the internal revenue laws of the United States. In addition, section 5721 of the IRC requires export warehouse proprietors to take an inventory of all tobacco products, cigarette papers and tubes, and processed tobacco on hand at the commencement of business, the conclusion of business, and at other times as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe by regulation. Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 44 require all export warehouse proprietors to take and report an inventory on TTB F 5220.3 at the opening and closing of their business, when certain changes in control of the business occur, and when required to by the appropriate TTB officer. As authorized by section 5741 of the IRC, the TTB regulations in part 44 also require export warehouse proprietors to retain record copies their inventory reports for 3 years following the close of the calendar year in which the inventory was taken, available for inspection by any appropriate TTB officer upon request. TTB uses the collected information to protect the revenue. Because export warehouse proprietors hold untaxed tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes until such articles are exported without payment of tax, transferred in bond to another export warehouse, or returned to the manufacturer, TTB uses these inventories to establish a contingent Federal excise tax liability on such articles. These inventories also aid TTB in detecting diversion of untaxed articles into the taxable domestic market. In addition, inventories of processed tobacco, which is not subject to tax, help TTB detect and prevent diversion of materials used for making tobacco products to unauthorized manufacturers who would not be accountable to TTB.

Distilled Spirits Plants Warehousing Records (TTB REC 5110/02), and Monthly Report of Storage Operations

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5207 requires distilled spirits plant (DSP) proprietors to maintain records and submit reports of their production, storage, denaturation, and processing activities as required under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under that IRC authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require DSP proprietors to keep certain records regarding their storage and warehousing operations. Those regulations also require DSP proprietors to report a summary of those operations, based on the required records, to TTB on a monthly basis using form TTB F 5110.11. Also, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5005(c), a DSP proprietor is liable for the Federal excise tax on all distilled spirits stored on their plant’s premises. As such, the required storage records and reports are necessary to protect the revenue and ensure compliance with the relevant Federal laws and regulations.

Employee Benefit Plan Claims Procedure Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act

Key Information

Abstract

In November 2000, the Department issued a final regulation establishing minimum claims procedure requirements that all employee benefit plans under ERISA must meet in order to satisfy the requirements of section 503 of ERISA. Section 505 of ERISA authorizes the Secretary to prescribe regulations as appropriate or necessary to carry out the provisions of Title I of ERISA. The regulation requires plans to provide every claimant who is denied a claim with a written or electronic notice that contains the specific reasons for denial, a reference to the relevant plan provisions on which the denial is based, a description of any additional information necessary to perfect the claim, and a description of steps to be taken if the participant or beneficiary wishes to appeal the denial. The regulation also requires that any adverse decision upon review be in writing (including electronic means) and include specific reasons for the decision, as well as references to relevant plan provisions. The information collection requirements included in the claims procedure regulation ensure that participants and beneficiaries (claimants) receive adequate information regarding the plan's claims procedures and the plan's handling of specific benefit claims. The Department has received approval from OMB for this ICR under OMB Control No. 1210-0053. The current approval is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2023.

Stills: Notices, Registration, and Records (TTB REC 5150/8)

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code, at 26 U.S.C. 5101 and 5179, authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary) to issue regulations requiring manufacturers of stills to submit notices regarding the manufacture and set up of stills, and it requires all persons to register any stills in their possession with the Secretary and provide information as to the location, type, capacity, ownership, and the purpose for which the stills will be used. Under those authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 29 require manufacturers and vendors of stills and distilling apparatus to provide certain notices and keep certain records regarding the manufacture and setup of such equipment. In addition, those regulations require owners of still and distilling apparatus to register such equipment with TTB and provide certain notices regarding changes in the ownership, location, or disposal of such registered equipment. TTB uses the collected information to ensure that the relevant provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied and to protect the revenue as distilled spirits are generally subject to Federal excise tax under the IRC.

Applications and Notices--Manufacturers of Nonbeverage Products (TTB REC 5530/1)

Key Information

Abstract

In general, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5001 imposes Federal excise tax on each proof gallon of distilled spirits produced in or imported into the United States. However, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5111–5114, persons using distilled spirits to produce certain nonbeverage products (medicines, medicinal preparations, food products, flavors, flavoring extracts, or perfume) may claim drawback (refund) of all but $1.00 per proof gallon of the excise tax paid on the distilled spirits used to make such products, subject to regulations issued by the Secretary “to secure the Treasury against frauds.” Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 17 require manufacturers to submit certain applications and notices to TTB regarding their use of distilled spirits in the production of nonbeverage products eligible for drawback. The required applications, which require TTB approval, cover nonbeverage activities that present significant jeopardy to the revenue, while the required notices, which do not require TTB approval, cover activities that present less jeopardy to the revenue. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as allows TTB to verify that nonbeverage product drawback claimants are in fact eligible for such refunds under the IRC, and it ensures that such respondents are in compliance with the IRC statutory and TTB regulatory provisions governing nonbeverage product activities.

Records of Things of Value to Retailers, and Occasional Letter Reports from Industry Members Regarding Information on Sponsorships, Advertisements, Promotions, etc., under the FAA Act

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 205 generally prohibits alcohol beverage producers, importers, or wholesalers from offering inducements to alcohol retailers—giving things of value or conducting certain types of advertisements, promotions, or sponsorships—unless such an action is specifically exempted by regulation. Under that FAA Act authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR Part 6, “Tied-House,” describe exceptions to the general FAA Act prohibition on offering inducements to retailers and also describe things that are considered to be “things of value” for purposes of determining whether an inducement has been offered. Among other provisions, those regulations require alcohol beverage industry members to keep records concerning things of value furnished to retailers, identifying the item and the retailer receiving it, along with the industry member's cost and any charges to the retailer for the item. Industry members may use usual and customary business records to satisfy that recordkeeping requirement, and such records must be retained for 3 years, available for TTB inspection. In addition, TTB regulations in 27 CFR parts 6, 8, and 10 provide that TTB may require, as part of a trade practice investigation, a letterhead report from an alcohol industry member regarding any advertisements, promotions, sponsorships, or other activities conducted by, on behalf of, or benefiting the industry member. TTB uses the collected information to detect and prevent unfair trade practices as defined by the FAA Act, and ensure compliance with that Act’s trade practice exceptions and limitations.

Application for Permit to Manufacture or Import Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco or to Operate an Export Warehouse and Applications to Amend Such Permits

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5712 and 5713 requires that importers and manufacturers of tobacco products or processed tobacco and export warehouse proprietors apply for and obtain a permit before engaging in such operations, or at such other times, as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. In addition, 26 U.S.C. 5712 sets forth circumstances under which a permit application may be denied, such as if the applicant, including any corporate officer, director, or major stockholder, is ineligible to obtain a permit by reason of business experience, financial standing, or certain criminal convictions. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 40, 41, and 44 require tobacco industry members to submit applications using the prescribed TTB forms for new permits or, under certain circumstances, amended permits. Respondents use the mandated application forms and any required supporting documents to identify themselves and their business, along with its location, organization, financing, and major investors. Once TTB issues a permit, the permittee must retain a copy of their application package for as long as they continue in business, available for TTB inspection upon request. This information collection request is necessary to protect the revenue by ensuring that only persons eligible under the relevent provisions of the IRC are provided a permit to engage in tobacco-related businesses.

Distilled Spirits Plant Equipment and Structures (TTB REC 5110/12)

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5178 and 5180 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations regarding the location, construction, and arrangement of distilled spirits plants (DSPs), the identification of DSP structures, equipment, pipes, and tanks, and the posting of an exterior sign at their place of business. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5206 also requires DSP proprietors to mark containers of distilled spirits, subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations concerning the identification of DSP plants, equipment, structures, and bulk containers are contained in 27 CFR part 19. Those regulations describe the exterior identification sign required at DSPs and the identification signs or marks on DSP structures, cookers, fermenters, stills, tanks, and other major equipment. The regulations also require tank cars and tank trucks used by DSPs as bulk conveyances for distilled spirits to be permanently and legibly marked with identifying information and capacity. The information set forth under this information collection is necessary to protect the revenue and facilitate inspections, as TTB uses the required signs and marks to identify the location, use, and capacity of a DSP’s structures, equipment, and conveyances.

Labeling of Sulfites in Alcohol Beverages

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that sulfating agents are human allergens that can have serious health implications for persons who are allergic to sulfites, particularly asthmatics, and, as a result, FDA regulations require food labels to declare the presence of sulfites if there are 10 parts per million (ppm) or more of a sulfating agent in a finished food product. Under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 205(e), the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to issue regulations requiring alcohol beverage labels to provide “adequate information” to consumers regarding the identity and quality of such products. Under that FAA Act authority and consistent with FDA’s food labeling requirements, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) alcohol beverage labeling regulations in 27 CFR part 4 (wine), part 5 (distilled spirits), and part 7 (beer) require a declaration of sulfites on the labels of alcohol beverages released from domestic bottling premises or customs custody when sulfites are present in such products at levels of 10 or more ppm. This label disclosure is necessary to protect sulfite-sensitive consumers from products that potentially could be harmful to them.

Eligibility Data Form: Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act and Veterans' Preference

Key Information

Abstract

Title 38 U.S.C. Section 4322 of USERRA authorizes the Secretary of Labor (through the Veterans' Employment and Training Service) to investigate claims by individuals who believe their USERRA rights have been violated. The information is used to determine eligibility of veterans complaints to reemployment rights they are seeking as well as to state alleged violations by employers of the pertinent statutes and request assistance in obtaining appropriate reemployment benefits. The Veterans Employment Opportunities Act (VEOA) of 1998, P.L. 105-339, 112 Stat. 3182, contained in Title 5 U.S.C. § 3330a-3330(b), provides assistance to preference eligible individuals who believe their rights under the veterans' preference (VP) laws and the Veterans Benefit Improvement Act of 2008 (Public Law No: 110-389) have been violated. Section 3 of the VEOA provides the Secretary of Labor similar authority to investigate complaints brought by preference eligibles. The collection instrument completed by claimants contains the information required and needed for the Department to determine initial eligibility of the claimant.

Protection and Advocacy for Beneficiaries of Social Security (PABSS)

Key Information

Abstract

The PABSS projects are part of Social Security’s strategy to increase the number of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients who return to work and achieve financial independence and self-sufficiency as the result of receiving support, representation, advocacy, or other services. PABSS provides information and advice about obtaining vocational rehabilitation and employment services; and provides advocacy or other services a beneficiary with a disability may need to secure, maintain, or regain employment. The National Disability Rights Network (NDRN) is a membership organization that holds a contract with Social Security to provide training and technical support to the PABSS grantees. As part of that contract, NDRN maintains a secure, proprietary internet database that grantees use to submit an annual report reflecting services they provide under PABSS funding. Only the PABSS grantees and the contractor have access to the database. The contractor generates each grantee’s report annually, and sends each report, as well as an aggregate report including the total of all services PABSS grantees provide nationally, to the Social Security Contract Officer and to the Contract Officer’s Representative The PABSS Annual Program Performance Report collects statistical information from each of the PABSS projects in an effort to manage and capture program performance and quantitative data. Social Security uses the information to evaluate the efficiency of the program, and to ensure beneficiaries are receiving quality services. The project data is valuable to Social Security in its analysis of and future planning for the SSDI and SSI programs. The respondents are the 57 PABSS project sites, and recipients of SSDI and SSI programs. We are submitting this Change Request to make minor revisions to the SSA-4570 in compliance with E.O. 14151, Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing.

[NCBDDD] The Study to Explore Early Development (SEED) Follow-up Study

Key Information

Abstract

This project will be utilized to gain knowledge about the expression of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from childhood through early adulthood that can inform efforts to improve the health and functioning of individuals with ASD as they mature. The SEED Follow-up Study will collect information from families through surveys on the health and functioning of individuals during childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood, and in-person assessments of cognitive abilities. Data obtained through this information collection may improve our understanding of which co-occurring conditions are most prevalent; increase our understanding of the needs of individuals with ASD; how the needs change with age and can be best met at different points in development; and inform research and public health policies on eligibility for services and public health outreach efforts, that could provide opportunities for education, employment, and social connection to improve the health, functioning, and quality of life among persons with ASD and their families. This CR adds Spanish versions for several of the instruments.
