Drawback on Wines Exported

Key Information

Abstract

In general, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5041 imposes Federal excise tax on wine produced or imported into the United States, while section 5362(c) allows domestic wine to be exported, transferred to a foreign trade zone, or used on certain vessels or aircraft without payment of that tax. In the case of taxpaid domestic wine that is subsequently exported, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5062(b) provides that exporters of such wine may claim drawback (refund) of the excise tax paid or determined on the exported wine. Under the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR Part 28, Exportation of Alcohol, exporters of taxpaid domestic wine use form TTB F 5120.24 to document the wine’s exportation and to submit drawback claims for the excise taxes paid on the exported wine. TTB uses the provided information to determine if the exported wine is eligible for drawback and to verify the amount of drawback claimed by the exporter. As such, the collected information collection is necessary to protect the revenue.

Specific and Continuing Transportation Bonds - Distilled Spirits or Wines Withdrawn for Transportation to Manufacturing Bonded Warehouse, Class Six

Key Information

Abstract

Under the United States customs laws at 19 U.S.C. 1311, materials subject to an internal revenue tax may be transferred without payment of tax to a manufacturing bonded warehouse for use in the production of products for export if a bond is provided to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Specific to distilled spirits and wine, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5214(a) authorizes transfer of distilled spirits from a distilled spirits plant to a manufacturing bonded warehouse without payment of excise tax and section 5175 requires a bond for such transfers; 26 U.S.C. 5362(c) authorizes the similar tax-free transfer of wine from a wine premises to a manufacturing bonded warehouse. In addition, those IRC sections also authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations regarding those tax-free transfers and the required bonds. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau alcohol export regulations in 27 CFR part 28 require manufacturing bonded warehouse proprietors to file a bond to cover the tax-free transfer of distilled spirits or wine from a distilled spirits plant or wine premises to their bonded warehouse. Under those regulations, such proprietors may file either a specific transportation bond using form TTB F 5100.12 to cover a single tax-free transfer, or a continuing transportation bond using form TTB F 5110.67 to cover multiple tax-free transfers made over a period of time. This information collection request is necessary to meet the IRC's statutory requirements and protect the revenue while providing operational flexibility to manufacturing warehouse proprietors.

Distilled Spirits Plants - Transaction and Supporting Records (TTB REC 5110/05)

Key Information

Abstract

In general, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5001 imposes Federal excise tax on distilled spirits produced or imported into the United States. Under the IRC alcohol excise tax-related provisions in chapter 51, 26 U.S.C. 5207 requires distilled spirits plant (DSP) proprietors to maintain records and provide reports related to their production, storage, denaturing, and processing activities as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 19, 26, 27, and 28 require DSP proprietors to keep certain usual and customary transaction and supporting records that are common to their distilled spirits production, storage, denaturing, and processing activities. Proprietors use the common transaction and supporting records required under this information collection approval, along with records that are unique to each DSP activity required under other information collection approvals, to document the data provided on their monthly DSP production, storage, denaturing, and processing operations reports. TTB personnel may examine the DSP transaction and supporting records required under this collection to verify the data provided by DSP proprietors in those operations reports and to determine the Federal excise tax liabilities of those proprietors. As such, this information collection is necessary to protect the revenue.

Letterhead Applications and Notices Relating to Denatured Spirits (TTB REC 5150/2)

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5214, denatured spirits (alcohol to which denaturants have been added to render it unfit for beverage purposes) may be withdrawn from distilled spirits plants free of tax for nonbeverage industrial purposes in the manufacture of certain personal and household products. Since it is possible to recover potable alcohol from denatured spirits and articles made with denatured spirits, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5271–5275 sets forth provisions regarding such spirits and articles. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR Part 20, Distribution and Use of Denatured Alcohol and Rum, require specially denatured spirits (SDS) dealers and nonbeverage product manufacturers that use or recover SDS to apply for and obtain a permit. Those part 20 regulations also require such permit holders, and non-permit holders that traffic in large quantities of completely denatured spirits (CDS), to submit letterhead applications or notices to TTB regarding certain changes to their permit information, use of alternate methods and emergency variations, adoption or use of certain formulas, losses in transit, and other specified matters. The collected information is necessary to implement the IRC's statutory provisions regarding denatured spirits and protect the revenue.

COLAs Online Access Request

Key Information

Abstract

To provide consumers with adequate information as to the identity of alcohol beverages and prohibit consumer deception, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 26 U.S.C. 205, and the related Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR chapter I require alcohol beverage bottlers and importers to apply for Certificates of Label Approval (COLAs) for such products introduced into interstate commerce or released from customs custody. Additionally, those regulations require domestic bottlers of distilled spirits and wines to apply for COLA exemptions for certain products sold only in intra-State commerce and require domestic bottlers and importers of distilled spirits to apply for approval of distinctive bottles. The vast majority of bottlers and importers complete and submit such applications electronically using TTB’s web-based COLAs Online system. Specific to this information collection, to protect TTB computer systems from cyber threats and misuse, persons desiring to use COLAs Online must first submit and receive TTB approval of a COLAs Online Access Request using the COLAs Online User Registration function or paper form TTB F 5013.2, COLAs Online Access Request. The collected information identifies the COLAs Online access applicant and confirms their authority to act on behalf of a specific alcohol beverage industry member.

Application for Supplemental Security Income

Key Information

Abstract

SSA provides Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments to members of the public who meet the required eligibility criteria and who file the prescribed application. SSA uses Form SSA 8001 BK, Application for SSI (Deferred or Abbreviated), to collect information from respondents to either: (1) provide a formal determination of ineligibility based on non-medical reasons only, or (2) document allegations of potential eligibility prior to requesting a medical determination from the state disability determination services (DDS) while deferring the collection of additional information until after the DDS approves a medical determination. Respondents apply for SSI using the deferred application through one of three modalities: (1) a paper application for both adult and child claims (Form SSA-8001), which the public can access as a fillable PDF from our website and submit through SSA’s Upload Documents Portal (OMB Control No. 0960-0830); (2) a field office interview (in person or over the phone), during which an SSA employee enters applicant data directly into the Consolidated Claim Experience (CCE) and Intranet SSI Claims System screens; or (3) the iSSI Internet application, basic eligibility questions (within the Internet Claims (iClaim site)). SSI applicants can also use a simplified online hybrid approach that streamlines and simplifies the online application form and the modalities we offer across other service channels (i.e., phone and in-person interviews). In this hybrid approach, we (1) capture the claimant’s basic eligibility with a simplified application, and (2) use a technician supported experience to develop additional information as necessary to make an initial determination. This second step only happens after we provide medical approval and identify the specific additional information needed. This approach strikes a balance between improving the applicant’s filing experience and collecting all necessary information to make eligibility determinations. SSA uses the information we gather on the SSA-8001, deferred SSI Application, to: (1) formally deny SSI for nonmedical reasons when information the applicant provides results in ineligibility; or (2) establish a disability claim but defer the evidence development of non-medical issues until SSA approves the disability. The respondents are individuals who are applying for SSI and are either clearly ineligible or, disabled or blind, or are the third parties who aid these individuals in applying for SSI.

Monthly SSI Wage Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

SSA requires Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries or their representative payees to report changes when beneficiaries return to work, when their amount of work increases, or when their earnings increase. Similarly, SSA requires recipients of SSI, their deemors, and representative payees to report changes in work and monthly wages. SSA allows SSDI beneficiaries, SSI recipients, deemors, and representative payees to report earnings via electronic means, though the methods available depend on the type of benefits received. SSDI users may report wages using an internet reporting system called myWageReport. myWageReport is a secure internet reporting tool within the mySSA portal that enables SSDI beneficiaries to submit pay stub information to SSA. In addition to myWageReport, SSI users have two other electronic options, the SSA Mobile Wage Reporting application (SSAMWR) and the SSI Telephone Wage Reporting System (SSITWR). The SSITWR allows callers to report their wages by speaking their responses through voice recognition technology, or by keying in responses using a telephone key pad. The SSAMWR allows recipients to report their wages through the mobile wage reporting application on their smartphone. SSITWR and SSAMWR systems collect the same information and send it to SSA over secure channels. To ensure the security of the information provided, SSITWR and SSAMWR ask respondents to provide information SSA can compare against our records for authentication purposes. Once the system authenticates the identity of the respondents, they can report their wage data. The respondents are SSDI beneficiaries, SSI recipients, SSI deemors, or representative payees.

Southeast Region Logbook Family of Forms

Key Information

Abstract

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is seeking to revise and extend the information collections currently approved under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control No. 0648-0016 pursuant to proposed rule 0648-BN11. The proposed rule would require electronic logbook reporting for commercial fisheries currently reporting in the Gulf of America (Gulf) Reef Fish, South Atlantic Snapper-Grouper, King and Spanish Mackerel, Shark, Atlantic Dolphin and Wahoo logbook (coastal logbook). The proposed rule includes modifications to questions asked in the coastal logbook, including trip start date and time, trip end date and time, primary area fished, and trip type. These additional questions are necessary to prevent overlapping and duplicative trip submissions and to be compatible with the Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics (ACCSP) database. The Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics program is an independent NOAA partner that gathers data on Atlantic fisheries (state and federal) to share with the scientific community. As a part of the larger Fisheries Information Network (FIN), ACCSP houses a data-gathering system called the Standard Atlantic Fisheries Information System (SAFIS) to promote state-federal collaboration and data dissemination. Some data fields would be removed, including state trip ticket number and payment of catch. The signature field in the paper form would be replaced with a perjury statement that the submitter (an owner or operator) acknowledges and affirms the accurate and truthful data entry before submission can occur. Other data fields that may be modified include “hours/days,” which would default to hours to be consistent with the ACCSP database. In addition, the “sales disposition” data field would default to “sold to dealer” to be consistent with the ACCSP database. The retained catch (landings) would require an entry into the catch disposition category, which would default to “general: food.” Those selected to submit information on discards would be required to declare the disposition of both retained catch and discards. NMFS does not expect the previously approved estimates of time burden for the coastal logbook information collection to change, due to the number of questions remaining relatively the same and the format of the application (dropdowns, toggles, calendars). NMFS will reevaluate the time burden for this collection once users become better acquainted with the electronic logbook applications. The proposed revision would not affect other information collections in 0648-0016 currently approved by OMB.
