The form notifies TTB when withdrawal
or destruction is to take place, and TTB

Title: Usual and Customary Business
Records Relating to Denatured Spirits.
OMB Number: 1513–0062.
TTB Recordkeeping Requirement
Number: 5150/1.
Abstract: Denatured spirits are used
for nonbeverage industrial purposes in
the manufacture of personal household
products. The records are maintained at
the premises of the regulated individual
and are routinely inspected by TTB
personnel during field tax compliance
examinations. These examinations are
necessary to verify that all specially
denatured spirits can be accounted for
and are being used only for purposes
authorized by laws and regulations. By
ensuring that spirits have not been
diverted to beverage use, tax revenue
and public safety are protected. There is
no additional recordkeeping imposed on
the respondent as these requirements
are usual and customary business
records.
Current Actions: The number of
respondents has increased; however, the
burden remains at 1 hour because these
are records that the respondent would
keep in the normal course of doing
business. Also, we made minor
grammatical corrections to this
information collection, and we are
submitting it as a revision.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; and State, Local, or Tribal
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,430.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: One (1).

Manufacturers—Supporting Records for
Removal for the Use of the United
States.

TTB Recordkeeping Requirement
Number: 5210/6.
Abstract: Tobacco products have
historically been a major source of
excise tax revenues for the Federal
Government. In order to safeguard these
taxes, tobacco products manufacturers
are required to maintain a system of
records designed to establish
accountability over the tobacco products
and cigarette papers and tubes
produced. However, these items can be
removed without the payment of tax if
they are for the use of the United States.
Records must be retained by the
manufacturer for 3 years following the
close of the year covered therein and
must be made available for inspection
by any TTB officer upon his/her request.
Current Actions: There are no changes
to this information collection, and it is
being submitted for extension purposes
only.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
101.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 505.
Title: Special Tax Renewal
Registration and Return/Special Tax
Location Registration Listing.
OMB Number: 1513–0113.
TTB Form Number: 5630.5R.
Abstract: 26 U.S.C. Chapters 51, 52,
and sections 4181 and 4182 authorize
collection of special taxes from persons
engaging in certain businesses. TTB F
5630.5R is used to compute tax and as
an application for registry.
Current Actions: There are no changes
to this information collection, and it is
being submitted as an extension.

Title: Collection Information
Statement for Individuals; and
Collection Information Statement for
Businesses.

5600.18, respectively.
Abstract: TTB F 5600.17 is used to
collect financial information from
individuals and 5600.18 is used to
collect financial information from
businesses. When an industry member
cannot pay their assessed tax all at one
time, they complete the applicable form
to identify their income, taxes, and

information to determine how much the

time until the taxes are paid in full and
to set up an installment agreement.
Current Actions: Minor changes are
being made to these forms, and they are
being submitted as a collection in use
without an OMB control number.

use without an OMB control number.
