The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26
U.S.C. 5415 requires that all brewers furnish reports of operations
and transactions in the manner, at the times, and for such periods
as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under
that authority, the TTB regulations require brewers to file monthly
operations reports using TTB F 5130.9, Brewer's Report of
Operations, if they anticipate an annual Federal excise tax
liability of $50,000 or more for beer in a given calendar year. For
brewers that anticipate a liability of less than $50,000 for such
taxes in a given year and that had such liability the previous
year, the TTB regulations require such brewers to file quarterly
operations reports using TTB F 5130.9 or the simplified TTB F
5130.26, Quarterly Brewer's Report of Operations. The information
collected from brewers on their operations reports regarding the
amount of beer they produce, receive, return, remove, transfer,
destroy, or otherwise gain or dispose of is necessary to protect
the revenue and ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory
requirements.
There is no program change
associated with this information collection request at this time,
and TTB is submitting it only for extension purposes. As for
adjustments, due to a change in agency estimates, TTB is decreasing
the estimated number of annual respondents, responses, and burden
hours associated with this information collection request—from
7,500 respondents to 7,000, from 36,000 responses to 33,600, and
from 27,000 burden hours to 25,200. These decreases are the result
of a decline in the number of brewers submitting operations reports
in response to this information collection requirement, likely due
to a decrease in the number of active brewers.
