TTB F 5100.16 APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER OF SPIRITS AND/OR DENATURED SPIRITS IN BOND

TTB is requesting approval to amend the above-mentioned form.  We had several issues working with the current form-

• We determined that the DSP completing this form often does not have access to the details required to describe the permit portion of the form.

• Recent changes to DSP regulations now include a provision for Alcohol Fuel Plants (AFPs) to utilize TTB Form 5100.16 for transfers in bond.

• We determined that the effective date is more useful in determining whether or not a transfer is covered under the current bond.

So, we are recommending that the following changes be made to make it easier for industry members (IM) to complete the form correctly, and for us to process it.

Here are some of the things that changed:

• Removed Item 4 which required details about the transferring plant’s permit,

• Added an AFP registry number prompt in addition to the DSP registry number prompt to Item 4a (formerly 5a), and

• Changed Item 5a (formerly 6a) to reflect the Effective Date of the bond instead of the Approved Date.

We are requesting approval of these changes to this form. Any changes in the burden or as a result of the recodification of the DSP regulations (part 19) will be address when this collections comes up for renewal as instructed.
