Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5207, requires distilled spirits plant (DSP) proprietors to maintain records and submit reports of their production, storage, denaturation, and processing activities, and, at 26 U.S.C. 5214, it authorizes the withdrawal of denatured distilled spirits from a DSP free of tax for certain specified uses, all subject regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require DSP proprietors to keep certain records regarding their production, loss, receipt, transfer, and withdrawal of denatured spirits. Using the required records, those regulations also require DSP proprietors to report a summary of their daily denaturing (processing) activities to TTB on a monthly basis using form TTB F 5110.43. Because denatured spirits may be removed from a DSP free of tax, a full accounting of a DSP’s denaturation operations is necessary to protect the revenue. The required records and reports allow TTB to detect and prevent diversion of denatured spirits to taxable uses, ensure compliance with Federal law and regulations, and compile industry statistics.

Abstract

Part 40 of 10 CFR establishes requirements for the receipt, possession, use, and transfer of radioactive source and byproduct materials. Section 40.25 established a general license authorizing the use of depleted uranium contained in industrial products or devices for the purpose of providing a concentrated mass in a small volume of the product or device. The NRC Form 244 is used to report the receipt and transfer of depleted uranium, as required by § 40.25. The registration information required by the NRC Form 244 enables the NRC to make a determination on whether the possession, use, or transfer of depleted uranium source and byproduct material is in conformance with the NRC’s regulations for the protection of public health and safety.

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5062 authorizes drawback (refund) of the Federal excise tax paid on distilled spirits and wines subsequently exported from the United States, under regulations requiring evidence of the product’s tax payment or determination and exportation. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 28 require drawback claims filed by wine exporters to be accompanied by the producer’s or bottler’s certification, filed on form TTB F 5120.20, that the listed wines were produced in the United States and taxpaid or determined upon withdrawal. The collected information is necessary to ensure that the tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied, as it allows TTB to prevent the payment of unverified drawback claims.

Abstract

This information collection is authorized by Section 36 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act) and the FDIC’s implementing regulation 12 CFR Part 363 (part 363). Section 36 and part 363 are generally intended to facilitate early identification of problems in financial management at insured depository institutions (IDIs) with consolidated total assets above certain thresholds through annual independent audits, assessments of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and compliance with designated laws and regulations (internal control assessments), the establishment of independent audit committees, and related reporting requirements. The asset size threshold for internal control assessments and certain audit committee membership requirements is $1 billion and the threshold for the other requirements is $500 million. The regulation also allows institutions with less than $500 million in consolidated total assets to comply voluntarily with the annual independent audit and reporting requirements. The information is used by the FDIC for supervisory, regulatory, and informational purposes.

Abstract

The USA PATRIOT Act charged the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) with developing regulations to facilitate information sharing among government entities and financial institutions for the purpose of combatting terrorism and money laundering. In 2002, FinCEN published a final rule implementing the authority contained in Section 314(a) of the USA PATRIOT Act (the Section 314(a) Rule). The rule required financial institutions, upon FinCEN’s request (a “Section 314(a) Request”), to search their records to determine whether they have maintained an account or conducted a transaction with a specified individual, entity, or organization that a Federal law enforcement agency has certified is suspected, based on credible evidence, of engaging in terrorist activity or money laundering. The rule was expanded in 2010 to enable certain agencies other than Federal law enforcement agencies to initiate Section 314(a) Requests. As amended, the rule enables certain foreign law enforcement agencies, state and local law enforcement agencies, and FinCEN itself, on its own behalf and on behalf of appropriate components of Treasury, to initiate Section 314(a) Requests. Before processing a request, FinCEN requires the requesting agency to certify that, in the case of money laundering, the matter is significant, and that the requesting agency has been unable to locate the information sought through traditional methods of investigation and analysis. The regulations implementing the rules are found at 31 CFR 1010.520.

Abstract

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, requests a revision and extension of this currently approved information collection, which incorporates minor updates for clarity and regulatory accuracy. These changes to the forms include updating the Public Reporting Burden Statement to include the form's specific purpose, and updating website links. Additionally, the “Application for Transfer of Quota Share to or from a Community Quota Entity” form was updated to include the correct the language from "The party to whom a CQE is seeking to transfer the IFQ must hold a Transfer Eligibility Certificate (TEC) unless they are a resident of the Aleutian Islands (Adak) for at least 12 months" to "The party to whom a CQE is seeking to transfer the IFQ must hold a Transfer Eligibility Certificate (TEC) unless they hold an Aleutian Islands (Adak) TEC." This change accurately reflects current regulations and requirements. No other changes were made to the collection other than adjustments to reflect the most current available data. This information collection is for applications, permits, and reports that are necessary for NMFS to manage the Community Quota Entity (CQE) Program. NMFS requires this information for fisheries management and to evaluate the ability of a specific CQE to represent an eligible community. Without this collection, the cost of making decisions based on inadequate information would adversely affect the viability of the CQE fishing industry and impact the economic health of the participating communities.

Section 12(i) of the Exchange Act grants authority to the Federal banking agencies to administer and enforce Sections 10A(m), 12, 13, 14(a), 14(c), 14(d), 14(f), and 16 of the Exchange Act and Sections 302, 303, 304, 306, 401(b), 404, 406, and 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Pursuant to Section 12(i), the FDIC has the authority, including rulemaking authority, to administer and enforce these enumerated provisions as may be necessary with respect to state nonmember banks and state savings associations over which it has been designated the appropriate Federal banking agency. Section 12(i) generally requires the FDIC to issue regulations substantially similar to those issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations to carry out these responsibilities. Thus, Part 335 of the FDIC regulations incorporates by cross-reference the SEC rules and regulations regarding the disclosure and filing requirements of registered securities of state nonmember banks and state savings associations.

Abstract

Chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) imposes Federal excise taxes on alcohol beverages made in or imported into the United States, while exports of such products from the United States are generally not taxed. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7652 applies an equal tax to such products from Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands shipped into the United States, and that section also requires the transfer of most of the taxes collected on such products to the treasuries of those two governments. Under its IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 parts 26, 27, and 28 require persons exporting or importing alcohol beverages from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to file certain letterhead applications and notices, and to keep certain records, regarding such activities. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue and ensure compliance with Federal laws and regulations. For alcohol beverages exported or imported from Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands, the required information allows TTB to trace shipments of such products, verify excise tax payments and claims for refunds, and calculate payments due to the treasuries of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5122, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 31 require retail alcohol beverage dealers to keep records showing the quantities of all distilled spirits, wines, and beer received, including information on from whom and when the products were received. Those regulations also require such dealers to keep records of all alcohol beverage sales of 20 or more wine gallons made to the same person at the same time. At the retail dealer’s discretion, those records may consist of commercial invoices or a book containing the required information, which the dealer must maintain at their place of business or at an alternate location under the dealer’s control approved by TTB. In addition, under the authority of the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5123, the part 31 regulations also require retail dealers to maintain the required records for at least 3 years, during which period they must be made available for TTB inspection during business hours. TTB uses the required information to ensure that the relevant provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied.

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 7805 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue all needful regulations to implement the IRC. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow alcohol exporters to apply for TTB approval of proposed alternate methods or procedures to, or emergency variances from, the requirements of that part, other than the giving of a bond or the payment of tax. Such applications provide alcohol exporters with operational flexibility and allow them to meet emergency circumstances. TTB review of such applications is necessary to determine that the proposed alternative or variance would not jeopardize the revenue, be contrary to any provisions of law, or unduly hinder the effective administration of the relevant TTB regulations.
