Airlines may withdraw tax exempt
distilled spirits, wine, and beer from Customs custody for foreign
flights. The required record shows the amount of spirits and wine
withdrawn, flight identification, and Customs certification. As a
result, it enables TTB to verify that tax is not due, allows
spirits and wines to be traced, maintains accountability, and
protects tax revenue. The collection of information is contained in
27 CFR 28.280 and 28.281.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
