SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) Title: Recordkeeping for Tobacco Products Removed in Bond from a Manufacturer's Premises for Experimental Purposes. OMB Control Number: 1513-0110. Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved collection. Description: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5704(a) provides that manufacturers of tobacco products may remove tobacco products for experimental purposes without payment of Federal excise tax, as prescribed by regulation. Under that authority, the TTB regulations at 27 CFR 40.232(e) require the keeping of certain usual and customary business records regarding the description, shipment, use, and disposition of tobacco products removed for experimental purposes outside of the factory. These records are subject to TTB inspection and are necessary to protect the revenue, as they allow TTB to account for the lawful experimental use and disposition of nontaxpaid tobacco products, and to detect diversion of such products into the domestic market. Form: None. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits. Estimated Number of Respondents: 235. Frequency of Response: On Occasion. Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 235. Estimated Time per Response: 0 hours. There is no respondent burden associated with this information collection because it consists of usual and customary records kept by respondents at their premises during the normal course of business. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 0. (Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) Dated: December 12, 2019. Spencer W. Clark, Treasury PRA Clearance Officer.
