This information collection provides a formal process for individuals and vendors to respond to a debt notice from a Marine Corps community service business (e.g., a base store or recreational facility). The response form, which is sent by mail, allows a person to choose how to resolve the debt, such as paying in full, setting up a repayment plan, or formally disputing the charge. This information is essential for the Marine Corps to accurately manage its accounts and ensures that individuals are given the opportunity to address the issue before the debt is potentially transferred to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for collection.

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5361, 5362, and 5386–5388, requires persons who intend to produce special natural wine, agricultural wine, other than standard wine, or nonbeverage wine to obtain approval of the formulas and processes by which such products will be made. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 24 and 26 require producers to obtain prior approval of the formulas and processes by which such wine products will be made. Producers may file such approval requests using TTB F 5120.29, Formula and Process for Wine. TTB uses the collected information to ensure that the relevant tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied and to protect the public from misidentified, mislabeled, or unsafe wines and wine products.

Section 12(i) of the Exchange Act grants authority to the Federal banking agencies to administer and enforce Sections 10A(m), 12, 13, 14(a), 14(c), 14(d), 14(f), and 16 of the Exchange Act and Sections 302, 303, 304, 306, 401(b), 404, 406, and 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Pursuant to Section 12(i), the FDIC has the authority, including rulemaking authority, to administer and enforce these enumerated provisions as may be necessary with respect to state nonmember banks and state savings associations over which it has been designated the appropriate Federal banking agency. Section 12(i) generally requires the FDIC to issue regulations substantially similar to those issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations to carry out these responsibilities. Thus, Part 335 of the FDIC regulations incorporates by cross-reference the SEC rules and regulations regarding the disclosure and filing requirements of registered securities of state nonmember banks and state savings associations.

This information collection is authorized by Section 36 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act) and the FDIC’s implementing regulation 12 CFR Part 363 (part 363). Section 36 and part 363 are generally intended to facilitate early identification of problems in financial management at insured depository institutions (IDIs) with consolidated total assets above certain thresholds through annual independent audits, assessments of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and compliance with designated laws and regulations (internal control assessments), the establishment of independent audit committees, and related reporting requirements. The asset size threshold for internal control assessments and certain audit committee membership requirements is $1 billion and the threshold for the other requirements is $500 million. The regulation also allows institutions with less than $500 million in consolidated total assets to comply voluntarily with the annual independent audit and reporting requirements. The information is used by the FDIC for supervisory, regulatory, and informational purposes.

Abstract

Under chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), distilled spirits produced or imported into the United States are subject to Federal excise tax, which is determined at the time the spirits are withdrawn from bond and which is paid by return, subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. In addition, a credit may be taken against that tax for the portion of a distilled spirits product’s alcohol content derived from wine or flavors. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 19 and 26 require distilled spirits excise taxpayers to keep certain records in support of the information provided on their excise tax returns, including information on the distilled spirits removed from their premises and the products’ applicable tax rates, as well as records related to nontaxable removals, shortages, and losses. The required records are necessary to protect the revenue as TTB uses the data collected to ensure the appropriate amount of tax is paid, to verify claims for refunds or remission of tax, and to account for the transfer of certain distilled spirits excise taxes to the governments of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5122, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 31 require retail alcohol beverage dealers to keep records showing the quantities of all distilled spirits, wines, and beer received, including information on from whom and when the products were received. Those regulations also require such dealers to keep records of all alcohol beverage sales of 20 or more wine gallons made to the same person at the same time. At the retail dealer’s discretion, those records may consist of commercial invoices or a book containing the required information, which the dealer must maintain at their place of business or at an alternate location under the dealer’s control approved by TTB. In addition, under the authority of the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5123, the part 31 regulations also require retail dealers to maintain the required records for at least 3 years, during which period they must be made available for TTB inspection during business hours. TTB uses the required information to ensure that the relevant provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied.

Abstract

While the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5214 allows for the tax-free withdrawal of denatured distilled spirits from a distilled spirits plant (DSP), 26 U.S.C. 5275 requires persons that procure, deal in, or use specially denatured (SDS), or that recover specially denatured or completely denatured distilled spirits, to maintain records and file reports as required by regulation. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 20 require persons who use or recover SDS or articles, or who use recovered completely denatured spirits or articles, to file a report using form TTB F 5150.18 once annually or when discontinuing business to account for their use of such denatured spirits in specific approved formulas. The collected information accounts for the use of untaxed distilled spirits and is necessary to ensure that the tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied.

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 6061 provides that any return, statement, or other document submitted under the IRC’s provisions must be signed in accordance with the forms or regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary). Also, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 204(c) authorizes the Secretary to prescribe the manner and form of applications for basic permits issued under the Act. Under those authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations require individuals signing documents and forms filed with TTB on behalf of an applicant or principal to have specific authority to do so. As such, applicants and principals use form TTB F 5000.8, Power of Attorney, to delegate such authority to a designated individual and to report that delegation to TTB. Many documents and forms submitted to TTB are legally binding and have penalties for omissions or falsification, and TTB uses the collected information to determine who legally represents an applicant or permittee doing business with the agency.

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5062 authorizes drawback (refund) of the Federal excise tax paid on distilled spirits and wines subsequently exported from the United States, under regulations requiring evidence of the product’s tax payment or determination and exportation. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 28 require drawback claims filed by wine exporters to be accompanied by the producer’s or bottler’s certification, filed on form TTB F 5120.20, that the listed wines were produced in the United States and taxpaid or determined upon withdrawal. The collected information is necessary to ensure that the tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied, as it allows TTB to prevent the payment of unverified drawback claims.

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, and, at 26 U.S.C. 5214, it authorizes the withdrawal of denatured distilled spirits from a DSP free of tax for certain specified uses, all subject regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require DSP proprietors to keep certain records regarding their production, loss, receipt, transfer, and withdrawal of denatured spirits. Using the required records, those regulations also require DSP proprietors to report a summary of their daily denaturing (processing) activities to TTB on a monthly basis using form TTB F 5110.43. Because denatured spirits may be removed from a DSP free of tax, a full accounting of a DSP’s denaturation operations is necessary to protect the revenue. The required records and reports allow TTB to detect and prevent diversion of denatured spirits to taxable uses, ensure compliance with Federal law and regulations, and compile industry statistics.

Abstract

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, requests a revision and extension of this currently approved information collection, which incorporates minor updates for clarity and regulatory accuracy. These changes to the forms include updating the Public Reporting Burden Statement to include the form's specific purpose, and updating website links. Additionally, the “Application for Transfer of Quota Share to or from a Community Quota Entity” form was updated to include the correct the language from "The party to whom a CQE is seeking to transfer the IFQ must hold a Transfer Eligibility Certificate (TEC) unless they are a resident of the Aleutian Islands (Adak) for at least 12 months" to "The party to whom a CQE is seeking to transfer the IFQ must hold a Transfer Eligibility Certificate (TEC) unless they hold an Aleutian Islands (Adak) TEC." This change accurately reflects current regulations and requirements. No other changes were made to the collection other than adjustments to reflect the most current available data. This information collection is for applications, permits, and reports that are necessary for NMFS to manage the Community Quota Entity (CQE) Program. NMFS requires this information for fisheries management and to evaluate the ability of a specific CQE to represent an eligible community. Without this collection, the cost of making decisions based on inadequate information would adversely affect the viability of the CQE fishing industry and impact the economic health of the participating communities.

Abstract

While the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5001 generally imposes a Federal excise tax on all distilled spirits produced in or imported into the United States, 26 U.S.C. 5214 provides for the tax-free withdrawal of distilled spirits from distilled spirits plants (DSPs) for nonbeverage purposes, including for use by educational institutions, laboratories, and medical facilities, and by State, local, and tribal governments. At 26 U.S.C. 5271–5275, the IRC also sets permit, bond, formula submission, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements for the use of tax-free distilled spirits, all of which is subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary. Under those authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 22 require users of tax-free alcohol to submit certain letterhead applications and notices, which serve as qualifying documents for specific regulated activities or as amendments to previously filed documents. The collected information is necessary to ensure that the provisions of the IRC related to tax-free distilled spirits are appropriately applied.

Abstract

As mandated by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5121, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 31 require wholesale alcohol dealers to keep, at their place of business, daily records of their receipt and disposition of distilled spirits, as well as a record book of all wine and beer received. Specific to this information collection, and as authorized by the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5555, the TTB regulations in part 31 also allow wholesale alcohol dealers to submit letterhead applications to TTB requesting approval of variations in the type and format of such records, and for variations in the retention place of those records. TTB review of such applications is necessary to determine that such variances would not jeopardize the revenue, be contrary to any provisions of law, or unduly hinder the effective administration of the relevant TTB regulations.
