The information provided by the
applicants assists TTB in determining eligibility and providing for
registration. These eligibility requirements are for persons who
wish to establish distilled spirits plant operations. In addition,
both statutes and regulations allow variances from regulations, and
the information collected enables TTB to determine whether a
variance can be approved.
To implement the bond exemption
under the PATH Act, TTB is amending its regulations to provide that
an applicant or existing DSP proprietor must state on TTB F 5110.41
whether the proprietor is exempt from bond requirements. TTB is
adding a new item to the form where the applicant or proprietor
selects whether the person is eligible for the bond exemption, and
TTB is amending one of the instructions on the form to reflect this
change. TTB is also adjusting the burden hours associated with this
collection to reflect an increase in the number of applicants and
proprietors, and to account for a one-time increase in the filing
of TTB F 5110.41 in each of the next three years by DSP proprietors
applying for the bond exemption authorized under the PATH Act.
