Abstract: TTB F 5110.56 is used by proprietors of Distilled Spirits Plants (DSPs) and Alcohol Fuel Plants (AFPs) to file bond coverage with TTB. Using this form, these proprietors may file coverage and/or withdraw coverage for one plant or multiple plants. With this form proprietors of DSPs may also provide operations coverage for adjacent wine cellars. The bond may be secured through a surety company or it may be secured with collateral (cash, Treasury Bonds or Treasury Notes). The bond protects the revenue by ensuring adequate assets are available to pay tax liabilities

Emergency Justfication: This information collection is being revised in relation to a TTB temporary rule that we are issuing in response to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (PATH Act; Division Q of Pub. Law 114–113). This rulemaking implements section 332 of the PATH Act, which amends the Internal Revenue Code to change Federal excise tax return due dates and remove bond requirements for certain eligible taxpayers. These statutory changes are effective January 1, 2017, and as a result, TTB is requesting emergency approval of this revised information collection.
