TTB seeks comments on revised information collection estimates
Businesses, for-profits and households must comment by Jan. 12 2027 on TTB's updated burden estimates for brewer notices and alcohol fuel permits.
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) published a notice in the Federal Register (Vol. 91, No. 218, Nov. 13 2026) requesting public comment on two information collections, with comments due by Jan. 12 2027. The notice is docketed as TTB-2026-0001.
The first collection, OMB Control No. 1513-0005, titled "Brewer's Notices; and Letterhead Applications and Notices Filed by Brewers" (TTB Form 5130.10), estimates 4,775 respondents filing an average of 1.6523 responses each, for a total of 7,890 responses. The agency projects an average per-response burden of 0.8986 hours, resulting in a total annual burden of 7,090 hours. TTB indicates it is decreasing the estimated number of respondents, responses, and total burden hours, while increasing the average responses per respondent. No program changes are proposed; the collection is being submitted for extension.
The second collection, OMB Control No. 1513-0051, titled "Application for an Alcohol Fuel Producer Permit Under 26 U.S.C. 5181" (TTB Form 5110.74), estimates 20 respondents with an average of 1.2 responses each, for 24 responses total. The average per-response burden is 1.5 hours, yielding a total annual burden of 36 hours. As with the first collection, TTB is decreasing the estimated number of respondents, responses, and total burden hours, while increasing the average responses per respondent, and is seeking only an extension.
