Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5111–5114, authorizes drawback (refund) of excise tax paid on distilled spirits that are subsequently used in the manufacture medicines, medicinal preparations, food products, flavors, flavoring extracts, or perfume that are unfit for beverage purposes, and it authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to prescribe regulations to ensure that drawback is not paid for unauthorized purposes. Under these authorities, TTB has issued regulations that require nonbeverage drawback claimants to show that the taxpaid distilled spirits for which a drawback claim is made were used in the manufacture of a product unfit for beverage use. This showing is based on the product’s formula and process, which is submitted on form TTB F 5154.1 or electronically via TTB's Formulas Online system. This information collection is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to determine if a given product is unfit for beverage use and is of a type authorized for drawback by the IRC. This information collection also is beneficial to respondents as TTB’s determination allows claimants to know in advance of actual manufacture if a product is or is not fit for beverage purposes and thus eligible or not eligible for drawback. In addition, by filing a letterhead notice, manufacturers may adopt approved nonbeverage product formulas for use at other plants they operate, and they may adopt such formulas from predecessor proprietors.
