The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26
U.S.C. 5704 provides for, among other things, the release of
imported or returned tobacco products and cigarette papers and
tubes from customs custody, without payment of tax, for delivery to
an export warehouse proprietor or a manufacturer of tobacco
products or cigarette papers and tubes, in accordance with
regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. TTB F 5200.11
is used at importation by industry members, TTB, and customs bonded
warehouse proprietors or government officials to, respectively,
request, authorize, and document the release of tobacco products
and cigarette papers and tubes from customs custody, without
payment of tax, to a manufacturer or export warehouse proprietor
authorized to receive such articles. (TTB F 5200.11 is used by
industry members who do not file their entry information
electronically through ACE, since those industry members filing
electronically submit the relevant information as data elements
through ACE. The submission of information through ACE is captured
under OMB Number 1513–0064.)
There are no program changes
associated with this information collection. As for adjustments,
TTB is decreasing the estimated number of annual respondents,
responses, and burden hours associated with this information
collection. TTB now receives TTB F 5200.11 forms from significantly
fewer respondents, due to an increase in industry members filing
electronically through U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s
Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), as approved under OMB
Control No. 1513–0064, and a decrease in the number of tobacco
industry members. Also, while the information collected on TTB F
5200.11 generally remains the same, TTB is adding two new data
fields to the form, for the Employer Identification Number of the
recipient manufacturer or proprietor and for the TTB permit number
of the importer. Since this information is readily available to the
relevant respondents, TTB does not believe that the addition of
these two data fields increases the burden associated with this
form. In addition, TTB is clarifying the titles of certain data
fields on the form and its instructions to improve the accuracy of
the information reported by the recipient of the imported or
returned articles.
